You Define the Success That You Want To Achieve In Your Life!
I wholeheartedly believe in that statement! Simply because the extent of everything you achieve in life revolves to what you define as success!
If you believe that success means being happy, you will strive to be a happy person!
If you believe being successful is having lots of friends, a family, and able to travel all around the world, your mind and body will strive to achieve that!
So, my friends, what is success to you?
Whatever you want to achieve depends on you yourself. The whole world is your oyster!
Everything you ever wanted out of life, all you can receive by simply asking for them.
Eventually,only when you are clear of what success really mean to you, will you be able to have lasting happiness and contentment!
Being a Manchester United supporter in Malaysia can be a tough experience.
There are football fanatics everywhere in Malaysia. When asked what team do you support, and if you answer 'Manchester United', chances are you will be labelled a glory hunter. A dude who just got on the winner's bandwagon. Who doesn't really care about Manchester United yet buys all sorts of Manchester United's merchandise. Perhaps this is due to jealousy. Envy of Manchester United's success throughout the years.
Allow me to say once and for all. I am a Manchester United Fanatic. I have been supporting the team for past 10 years.
I always thought that being a TRUE Manchester United fan is more than just a being a normal supporter. It is a momentous turning point in one's life. A commitment to a life long journey of being intertwined with the fortunes of Manchester United.
When you are a Manchester United fan like me,your life goes up and down together with the Manchester Team. I always remember the times where i woke up 3am in the middle of the week,with 8am class the next day, just to watch my beloved team. You can feel the pain deep down when Manchester United is losing a game,the frustration when chance after chance goes begging and the ball doesn't go into the net. Alas,when Manchester United score the winner in injury time, you can see and hear me screaming with the top of my lungs. The ecstasy,the euphoric feeling of being on top of the world. Ronaldo,the Brazilian,once voted the most recognizable person in football,once said that 'football is better than sex'.
And that is what i meant by THE MANCHESTER UNITED PASSION. You have a deep bond. This comes from knowing that you are cheering for a team thousand of miles away and they don't know you. Yet, you feel it is more than worth it. That no matter the result in the end,you will be there cheering again the next match,because you know they will rise again from adversity.
A lot of my friends tell me that football is just a dumb game where 22 people chase around trying to put the ball in the back of the net. If it is so,then why does The WORLD CUP, football's biggest tournament,is also the biggest sporting event in the world? Why do more than a billion people follow the sport?
Football for me,has always provided many good values in life. Football promotes youth, unites people, bring people together for the pure spirit of the game. When Manchester United won 2-1 against Bayern Munich by scoring 2 injury time goals,that shows that you must never give up till the end. I get so motivated and goosebumps whenever i recall that memory.
To those who don't understand football or couldn't care less,i'd just like to say that 'i'm sorry,football is just a gift you have yet to receive'. I am a Manchester United fan through and through. How many fans know that in the early days, the Red Devils were known as Newton Heath?
Glory glory Man United, as the Reds go Marching ON ON ON!!!!
Feeling comfortable with our own position yet not motivated enough to want to push ourselves to a higher level,we get stuck eventually in the same familiar position that we have always been at. It is true, HUMAN BEINGS WILL ALWAYS DO MORE TO AVOID PAIN THAN TO GAIN PLEASURE.
And then there are some who after a huge realization,goes about wanting to achieve so many goals in so little time. It's like trying to create 100 masterpieces in less than a month. Truth is,it is simply not possible. Feeling super optimistic at the start,this person goes about indulging in every possible avenue which is of interest to him. Investing in the stock market? sure,i'll buy a few books and read them.. Taking japanese,spanish,and korean class? sure,i've already enrolled myself.. Martial arts? Just paid fees for 3 months.. Forex trading? sure,got a call from an agent yesterday all the way from Geneva. Memory skills? bought a book on that too last week. Property investment? set up a date to explore more already.
What is very apparent in all these is that he thinks that he is making progress,however,it could be said that he is only running in circles. 2 steps forward,but 3 steps back. Until one day he realises that people can achieve much more just by being FOCUSED.
The power of focus and clear visualisation of what you really want is underrated. A simple example, if you were to be all successful in life,how would it be like? Can you clearly describe the things you really desire out of life? Or is it just good family,good money,and good career? Obviously,that is not specific enough.
You have got to have a clear shot of the bullseye you are aiming for. All kinds of circumstances may distract you,but in your head,you are always looking directly at the red dot in the archery board. By being focused in a few areas,you can unleash the hidden talent within you.
The best way thus,is to be focused,clear,direct,and never waver away from the vision of your ultimate goal. Too many things being done at the same time will only lead to frustration and despair. A certain someone has been there in the past.
Out of the millions of inspiring movies,it has finally been declared that the MOST INSPIRING AND MOTIVATING MOVIE OF ALL TIME IS ROCKY 1-THE MOVIE.
I remember the first time i watched it,i was so engrossed in the movie and it always has the same motivating effect on me.
The story of an unknown boxer rising to the pinnacle of success and overcoming tremendous adversity never fail to inspire me always.
The behind the scenes story of how it finally became a movie was also an inspiring one. Sylvester Stallone wrote the story himself,but he had a disability with his cheek muscle,resulting in his left mouth drooping and his speech slurring. But,he was so convinced that his movie was going to be a huge success that not even countless rejections by directors stopped him. Finally,he found a movie company willing to buy his idea,but only after a heated discussion on who is to play Rocky,the main character. Stallone was adamant that he play the character no matter what. The rest they say is history.
ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY!!!
I have just finished reading 2 books by locally renowned financial speaker/author Carol Yip.
1) Money Rules-How to Manage your money successfully-before it destroys your life completely.
2)Smart Money-User- a money book for today's young adults.
Well,it wasn't the first time i have came across Carol Yip's books. Being quite a voracious reader of self improvement,motivation,and financial books,when i first encountered her books about a year ago,i was skeptical.
My initial impression was that the books contained the popular and regular concepts about becoming rich,with a Malaysian flavor to it. Concepts like saving early,have a clear defined plan,save more than what you spend,have budgets,invest early,keep eyes open for business opportunities and such.
However,almost a year on from the first encounter,i had a sense of de ja vu in me. Something in my mind told me i just had to get the 2 books.
To say that i was a bit surprised is a real understatement. The 2 books essentially did cover most popular concepts.
What i really thought was unique of the books were that it focused on the psychological aspect of using money. Things like although we have a clear budget planned out,why do we still give in to temptations?
Also, Smart Money User is the first book to really give a hands on approach to the reader,forcing almost the reader to really plan his financial future.
Overall,i got a very clear picture about what a typical person would face in terms of financial challenges in the future.It is always good to prepare early and i would recommend everyone who wants to improve his or her financial IQ to read the books. 2 real gems . I finished both the 2 books in less than 2 days.
To financial freedom!
