In one month, we will transit to year 2010. I will be turning 28 years old. In this era of constant changes, we need to embrace changes and accept it as part of life. I have a tremendous urge to succeed faster, I have the capability to suppress what I am having now. I need to heed God's words and live to bring better life to this world. The wealthy can do a lot more for the rest. Thus I need to be ultra-rich to create improvements.
From now, I need to work hard and learn something new everyday. Furthermore, I need to take steps to commencing my business. For a start, I will like to start off with part time business.
I had passed my basic Malay test. I am planning to take up Master of Maritime and Chartered Shipbroker to mark the progression of next two years.
15th March 2010
I am commencing a new job with a small company. They are paying me much better than my previous company. However it is a small setup and lacks a proper system. Therefore I tell myself that I need to bite the bullet and endure until I set up on my own! Look forward and there is no more turning back.
22nd August 2010
It has been six months since I started working with this company. There has been a lot challenges and I have learnt alot from my present company and from how the super achieving people think. My present boss advocates making deals, asking banker to lend you money to invest in deal and getting extraordinary returns.
I was offered the Master of Maritime by NTU but I had turn it down. I came to a realisation that the bosses whom I know do not have any specialised advance degree nor MBA. Further to reading Millionaire Mind, I realise there are a few factors that are critical to success.
The foundation stones of financial success are:
- Integrity - being honest with all people
- Discipline - applying self control
- Social skills - getting along with people
- A supportive spouse
- Hard work - more than most people
From now till end of 2010, there will be another 4 months. I need to set an intermediate short term goal to make this year a fruitful one. There had been a lot trials this year which makes me stronger and I have a clearer conviction in my life.
I strived the following:
- Work : Achieve US$ 1 million revenue
- Family : Dinner every sunday
- Relationship : Find a girl friend
- Self Improvement : Finish my library of books
- Wealth : Increase by 10%
17th January 2011
I have stepped into another new year and I am 29 years old now. Looking back to the top of the blog, I was turning 28 and the next moment you are one year older. I am self reflecting what had I achieved out of 2010? What I intend to achieve in 2011?
Review of 2010
New Year Resolution for 2011
I have stepped into another new year and I am 29 years old now. Looking back to the top of the blog, I was turning 28 and the next moment you are one year older. I am self reflecting what had I achieved out of 2010? What I intend to achieve in 2011?
Review of 2010
- Work : Achieve US$ 1 million revenue => I remembered that I was close. Some of the revenues were not achieved because the contracts were dissolved due to equipment break down.
- Family : Dinner every Sunday => I try to have dinner with family every weekend and talk to parents and sister.
- Relationship : Find a girl friend => I did not achieve this. I was party too much in 2009 - 2010. My health is taking a toll and I am changing the perspective with God in my life now. I think I will get myself ready as a God's man. He will bless me with a Godly woman, whom will walk the second half of my life.
- Self Improvement : Finish my library of books => No, I did not achieve this. The root cause is I keep buying new books. I should stop buying new books and finish existing ones.
- Wealth : Increase by 10% => I believe that through savings I have accomplished this.
New Year Resolution for 2011
- Work: Establish my network in Australia. I believe in my one month stay in January. I have met up with a few new faces and I am extremely exhilarated through the business development process. This is something which I have looking forward to. I did not like all the paper work when I was with previous company.
- Business: I have targeted this year to spearhead my first project. I am going to start a website/internet business. I am going to learn how to trade Forex, using Metatrader for six months using a virtual account. I want to make Forex one of my business. I am interested in running an import/export business. I will research on the process and put it into a business plan.
- Family: I will try to have dinner every Sunday with my parents. I need to cast this to stone.
- Relationship: I have no problem talking to a girl on the street but I do not have the confidence to start a relationship. I need to heal myself this year and prepare for the next relationship.
- Wealth: I target to grow my wealth by another 25%!
This year suddenly seems exciting to pursue. I feel that 2010 was a real bad year and I was embroiled with law suit (non-competition clause) and car accident. I prayed to Lord that year 2011 will be the transitional year and a great one to be!
