Appreciation is a feeling which only both parties understand. It’s a feeling between the giver and the recipient of the value and the services involved. It’s a unbreakable sense of appreciation that converts into a sense of satisfaction and thus translate value and profits.

Feeling of appreciation and being appreciative is a value of service that brings both parties involved to be mutually beneficial. The rewards between both parties and even in businesses will also reap handsome profits. Looking at the 5-star and 6-star hotels, what value do they offer to their customers?

What makes the customers coming back for more? How to create a mutually beneficial proposition? When to offer such value added services to customers? Who will deliver the services and bridge up the gap to create the feeling to have the customers feeling appreciative? Why would such businesses and families want to let their customers and children feel happy with what’s being offered? Where will the services be offered to allow a win-win situation between both parties?

Actually my inspiration for this entry comes right after watching a channel 8 show on heirloom dishes. What it offered to and the ideas was to create the connection between family and increase the bonding among family members but all this was disrupted having to walk into a room filled with smoke which I detest most except to bear with it. The above second paragraph wasn’t what I had in mind but it just came to me as I was trying to find and piece back what I lost in terms of ideas on blogging thanks to the stressful damaging effect the smoke filled room give me as I retrieve my laptop.

Appreciation between families should be fun, happy and looking forward to it. Don’t get me wrong, don’t look forward to being appreciative by praising, although it’s a must do step, but it’s the process of positive feedback and constant practicing and self-improvement which translates into better cooking skills thus bridging family bonding stronger and closer.

Cooking should be fun, and makes people look forward to the same dish over and over again. The only possible option to allow people to look forward to same dish is only made possible in a family. Not even hotels or business can replicate the feeling because it’s the ambiance of home and the bonding between your love ones that makes it especially close to the hearts of individuals.

There’s only so much businesses can do but there’s more that home business can do and profit from just that home based housewives aren’t equipped with the knowledge of know-how to expand their ideas and increase their wealth generation methods via using smart tools, which is why related education to financial success is important. While I might not be somebody now, but if by the time you read this and should decide to find out more about going digital also known as internet marketing, feel free to contact me via the contact page. Not sure if I can be trusted, no problem, feel free to ask me for my previous works of discussion in forums, there’s dates as proofs. Evidence can’t lie.

Pardon me for the self-advertising…but that’s what business is all about. If you don’t know how to sell yourself, than you can’t succeed, it all starts from you and what you’ve got to offer to others.

Perhaps there are only two paragraphs of this blog entry which really came from the idea but the extra contents came not from the idea but also from my observations over the years thanks to different experiences.

Lately as I am watching television, the more I watch, the more I learn and absorb into my mind. Adding more and more bricks to solidify my barrier and different tests set in my mind to test a person before marriage if the other half is for love or for wealth. This might not sounds related to business but read on and you’ll understand.

Like I’ve mention previously before.Family, fortune, wealth, alimony are common issues mention in a family tussle when family splits. Therefore, one who knows how to handle, anticipate future problems will have the traits required and fit to be an entrepreneur. Perhaps not the kind of entrepreneur most people are looking for, but to me, it’s a real entrepreneur because if there’s a person who really knows how to look after and take care of a family, than he/she will definitely know the importance of flexible working hours and reap the benefits of loyalty and the ability to brave through potential crisis if there’s any coming their way.

Back to my subject proper, alimony, having watched the television episode on fighting for alimony it’s always family members cutting each other’s throat. That in particular rings a constant bell in my mind over and over again. With my aunties and uncle holding numerous family meetings to discuss and plan, taking sides to fight for the alimony, end up all went to the uncle, and the aunties who took sides with him didn’t earn any portion from it. My mom was against the idea, since it’s common knowledge that all alimony will be given to the male so there’s no argument about it but I still don’t know why the uncle wants a family meeting when the answer is so obvious. Months later than I realize, after the family meetings, two of my aunties and uncle talked my big aunt into giving them her home in the event should she leave (touchwood), she’s only in her young 50s than there they are already talking and eyeing any silly easy alimony.

That experience taught me many things and gives me ideas on education business ideas when I initially thought nothing of this niche until recently all thanks to something which was mention in the news. I’ll keep it as a business secret for now until I’ve rolled it out.

Relationship, something very deep and hard to comprehend for starters with lots of grey areas involved. The area which I’ll be talking about today is with regards to money since I’m all about entrepreneurship so money again comes first. Not that it’s that important but because it’s important to identify who is staying because of genuine interest in relationship or they are interested in the money which you might be sponsoring the other party during the courtship.

Over the course of working since the age of 16, I’ve seen so many people who would put on an act to forge a relationship in attempt to gain more monetary benefits fro whomever is richer and ignore the very fact that a genuine relationship with the right person is treasure which not much can buy..Simply put it it’s priceless, something that not many people these days will learn to treasure..all thanks to the harsh practical realistic materialistic society and the No Money No Talk society..

Only during in terms of problems than only will real bonding and mutual help surface, but what I can’t understand is that why if everything is over with as in difficult times, each individuals will revert back to their masked personality, putting up with whatever problems they have at work, bring their desire of gaining to seek instant gratification and for just a moment of temporary happiness, they are willing to forgo so many other important things..all thanks to the negative influence and teachings of the education system and the upbringing of the super materialistic society..

The most recent example which left a deep memory in my mind was a fellow business competitor in a small MLM company, trying to put on a false ‘friendship’ and get the original materials and then immediately act as if he doesn’t know me having know that I’m no longer beneficial to him..being made used is small thing..but he as a business owner, should know how to pave the path for a longer term yet only making friends under false intentions just to earn more money..

Some times I really wonder..what’s the point of trusting people in business and at work when each other is just for money..does money really hold such an important part in life? Why will people only so fake?? Is it really just to survive in this super materialistic society??

Thanks to numerous experiences which made me grow faster, fall harder learn much more than peers older than my age. From those experience, I’m happy that I went through all those shit..having gone through those, only am I the true me doing what I do and not after money.. I will not sell myself, my reputation nor trust for in exchange for money..if I did, I would already have done so years ago..but from the mlm experience, I learnt that friends and whatever genuine relationship is better than money..

Nothing is more scary than loneliness..what if you have all the money in the world, but look around the people around the suddenly rich people..who exactly are those people..deep down..they are just hypocrites..blood suckers..boot-lickers..nothing more than that..

Over the past few days, there’s something which repeating keep surfacing onto my mind as I watched the television shows, not one not two but three shows all which shares the same factor – nagging.

Perhaps I might have mention this nagging sector previously in my past entry before but over in this entry, it will be a full blown impact on the full consequences of nagging and how this can result in a family arguments among couples and their kids which will eventually lead to communication break-down and eventually living in each of their own individual separate ways.

Here’s another case example even in businesses, when a boss/entrepreneur is having troubles with their businesses, the first immediate thing which anybody would like to have when in faced with problems is to have some peace and quiet to sort out their thoughts, so if there’s any employees/family members who are by your side constantly nagging and suggesting different ideas or saying wrong words which complicate things, how worse can thing be?

Instead of solving things, a small issue that goes through a nagging session will than be snowballed into a much bigger issue than it originally is because of the nagging and gossiping factor which every lady and caring parents and people have, they end up making things worse without realizing it.

Because when people who care nags, it’s a form of care and concern but when all that care and concern of words are being said at the wrong time, it will than be treated as nonsense and be taken with a pinch of salt, listening from the right ear, leaving instantly from the left ear.

How would I know the consequences of such simple nagging which has such a damaging after effects, simply because I had grown up in such a family and I learnt it by example from my environment as there’s this phrase “Monkey see monkey do.” Having nagged at my family members to save water, electricity etc, since there’s no chance, I no longer nagged already since it’s not gonna change anything.

Throughout the process of nagging which I’ve observed, the first few two times of nagging, it will not be taken into account of the person who did the wrong thing. Once you nagged the third time, they will immediately take action, but don’t be happy, because the action is taken just to stop the person from nagging any more torturous words which will cause more unhappiness only. Anymore nagging from then on will be effective but all words of concern will not be taken into any consideration as care but being strike off any thoughts of communication in future because they don’t want to be nagged upon in future.

What appears to be non-harmful is actually very damaging, when one party nags, the other party who is receiving it will only slowly build up bricks by bricks of invisible barrier building causing the communication break-down in coming months or years depending on individual’s threshold limit. This barrier is the cause communication break-down in a family. As for businesses, if it’s in a family-run business, than it will result in internal conflicts, trying to slaughter each other’s throat hopping to gain the final control of the business in the event of naming a successor, and that’s when the siblings will fall out with each other if no proper terms and conditions and proper upbringing have being taught to the potential successors.

Perhaps those reading this entry might find it a bit too much and hard to believe, but over time when I look around what’s happening around me, my elders it’s just like a rotating cycle, even in newspapers, it’s happening over and over again without fail. Newspapers never fail to broadcast articles with regards to family lawsuits regarding struggle for family heritage and other related articles. Why you may feel if I am exaggerating but this is the truth which nobody have mention it in any media before.. The impact is only felt after years..I’m saying this only because this is what I’ve realized and I don’t want the same mistake to happen again so I’ll write it down to remind myself, as this was partially the reason why my family which was originally a happy family when I was young had a twist and turned into a widowed family. I can truly say that nagging is partially the course of the chain which leads to my single family status. I don’t have any happy memories of a complete family since back than I was too young to have memorize it since back then I was only 4-5yrs old. I only had memories from age 7 onwards which was when I knew that Dad was gone but don’t know why I have to pray etc and doing what I was being told to back than.

Nagging is not something which can be taken lightly, treat communication fairly and respect each other, give each other space and quiet when they come back from home. Much will be written in future on how to go about talking nicely instead of nagging. Stay tuned to read up more.

Today marks the 2^nd day which my grandma is living together with us in our home. As soon as the happiness and filial piety of my mother, she started having more regrets than happiness about her choice of brining her over to stay with us.

Since day one, my mom already started having disagreements with my grandma and rising her voice to shut my grandma which works. Seeing the argument and unhappiness happened in front of me reminds me of the many times I argue with my mom using the same tactic as well and it never fails me nor my nor, whoever shouts the loudest wins but of course supported with sufficient reasons.

Today my mom than regrets her choice once again after my grandma said she lost her ring in our home when she can’t search nor locate the ring in the house. My mom than said that this afternoon she saw two ladies chatting with her don’t know over what reasons. After which seeing her dark face, the looming eruption, I stop probing. Than the whole evening they just can’t stand each other. To make matter worse, in the home, there’s my sister too, who’s always on loggerheads with my mom. Than there they were all seated in the living room watching television..Silence filled the air with the exception of the sound coming from the television.

An aura of hatred, unhappiness and suspiciousness fill the air. I somehow sense it coming from the three women. I just sit there not knowing what to do but it sure is uneasy having to be in that awkward situation to begin with..

I wonder what lies ahead of the two days of stay with my grandma’s presence in the family. Thinking back on the past, and reflecting on the arguments and debates in my mother’s family side..they have something in common, they are all people who are trying to make the month’s end needs each very month.

On the other hand despite my father’s absence, my dad’s side of the family is all filled with rich if not can be affluent families in landed properties. Seeing them with little to zero arguments, I some how come to a conclusion that only the poor people argue over small little things. Rich people don’t argue, they just talk things out nicely.

When I tried to cross reference to my childhood primary school mate who was born with a average income family who later moved and upgraded their social status to become the league of landed property owners, seeing and being a minor part of the family made me realize that only families that talk things out instead of arguing and rising their voice will allow them a better family bonding and an increase in wealth. To date I still can’t find the missing jig-saw puzzle connecting the rich and the poor other than the common theory which I learnt from all my previous mentors or rather from my seniors and those speakers at the various different seminars which I’ve being to over the pass few years.

I hope I’ll be able to find the missing link someday and eventually join the league of being a landed property owner without worries in terms of financial concerns.

Over the last one and the half weeks of staying in home, having gotten used to personal life after army already, my own bad habits is starting to creep into me back again. Despite the bad habits, I somehow have found another method to deter if not move forward regardless of the bad habits.

Knowledge and thinking which I never once came to understand started to take its effect on me, paving me the clear way to being a responsible rational adult. My perception changed, not because of the family I’m living with but rather because of a few television shows and the anime which I’ve being following since two years back.

Gone are the days where I seek temporary love something to rely on. Instead I’ve come to adapt and learn to face my coming full bloom reality of adulthood without the partial role of a student anymore. What lies ahead of me is responsibility to myself, my mother, and the family which I’m looking forward to create and build a home inside the heart of the idea person whom I’ve seeking.

Television shows can educate as well as negatively influence growing young adults/teenagers. It takes proper guidance to filter out the proper shows or at least be equipped with a logical and rational thinking before watching. Not absorbing everything which is shown in the shows.

Like what I’ve learnt in MLM over the past five years of constant updating, participation and scouting, I picked up a lot of knowledge which would never ever be taught in academic schools or any institutions. Family is the word which keeps surfacing regardless of where I go to, it’s the root which binds all of us individuals together regardless of whatever reasons each one of us have. But all that we have in common is to build a home for our family and our love ones, with the common goal in mind, we work hard and towards financial freedom hoping to win against the odds but how many can really out-wit the norm? Not many are the words which I can strongly swear because I’ve seen so many types of people during my participation in the MLM industry.

What I didn’t get to see is the ugly truth behind ladies who are in their prime actively looking for wealth and fame. Having gone through some social networking sites, I’ve come into contact with ladies who worked as web cam models. It’s a new occupation which many ladies can choose to pick up these days easily over the net with no worries as all expenses will be taken care of eventually. The sacrifices they had – to play strip tease or full strip in front of the web cam. For some ladies those who choose to earn extra have another title of occupation to their name – social escort but in actual fact they are no less different with prostitutes just that they get to choose who they want to meet.

So far, I’ve met quite a lot of different types of people. Sufficient for me to say I’ve seen nearly most of the people at the work force thanks to the internet, I’m exposed to many different people beyond the social network of my personal limits.

Despite all that I’ve said as per above, family will still be the place where we can take shelter/refuge when the need arise. Family should be cherished but only with the correct combination than only will someone learn to treasure their family members. It’s not a skill or knowledge which can be learnt overnight but it’s an accumulation of both positive and negative experiences which than results in stronger family bonding.

Home the place which all of us will come to think of as a sanctuary fill with warmth and happiness. But is this really the truth, I really doubt that this is ever possible.

Even within any happy family, there will be times whereby disagreements, arguments happens which cause a stir and chaos in the family for a period of time.

But one thing which all guys can’t tolerate is a woman’s nagging. Not just nagging, but repeatedly constant nagging about the same topic, not one day, but every time a new problem surface, it will be dig out again and again without fail, bearing grudges.

Whenever a working adult comes back from work, all he/she needs is peace and quiet. But what if somebody is at home and keeps nagging and nagging, than what will become of the sanctuary you were always looking forward to? Where did the warmth go to? All thanks to the nagging and constant nagging which results in long permanent damage to the relationship and bonding.

That’s why I advocate living alone and be truly independent so as to be self-reliant which got many advantages to disadvantages given financial ability to do so.

US independent living culture is something that ought to be looked into. I’m sure this isn’t my first time mentioning about this – living on our home, but since I’ve said something similar with regards to US independent living, so I shall not repeat it again.

Home sweet home, it’s still a myth to me personally, to really own a home deserving to be labeled as home sweet home, much work and effort has to be taken not by individual but also need the work of the whole family’s participation too.

Much work has to be done in order to maintain a proper relationship status to have a balanced lifestyle between work and family.
