Provocateurs are people who are employed by an entity to act as a undercover and to entice, provoke another person, group or business to commit wrong and rash actions.

It is a strategic and intelligent move by taking advantage of the weakest link.

It is a silent killer in politics everywhere, from home, schools to office politics and even businesses, such people are always around, and how often are you able to spot and identify such people?

They are under-cover agents or spies wanting to frame an individual or a group to achieve their personal gains and benefit from a chaotic situation. An example is the most talked about demonstration in Thailand.

Live ammunition were used in the demonstration, with many eye witnesses saying that soldiers using it while others remarks saying there were people who were from neither the demonstrators or the military force who were using live rounds, instead it was from people who were firing at innocent people form rooftops.

Remarks came from a former cabinet minister Suranand Vejjajiva now a respected political commentator as reported in Straits Time Newspapers.

Unknown gunmen were taking advantage of the hostility between the red shirt demonstrators and the opposition military force compromising of police and army.

From my humble opinion, instead of focusing on the violence, lost of lives, both parties, the red shirt demonstrators and the military police and army should join hands and come to a mutual agreement to save lives.

By having a agreement which is to weed out, capture those gunmen and soldiers caught using live ammunition and bring such provocateurs to justice who are trying to make matters worse by taking advantage of the situation.

While there’s chaos, agreement should be focus on peaceful demonstration and reducing the numbers of lives lost due to such gunmen.  To learn how to handle such issues, just stay tuned to get yourself updated on the news from Channel News Asia.

Power is the ability, capacity or authority to carry out an order, action or command to have any task completed either done legally or illegally.

It is the strength, force to influence to accomplish tasks via being in a authoritative position to order subordinates to complete their assignments/tasks on time.

It is a force not to be reckoned with, especially with nature especially with the forces of natural disasters, the power and impact is damaging.

It is what many people would dream of having, the power to control almost anything and everything by being in an authoritative position. Power struggle is usually the result of not having reached an agreement and both either sides are happy with the terms and conditions being proposed.

In the most recent example, Thailand, the red shirts peaceful riot that changed into partial violence. While it looks like the military has got the weapons, and are in the authority position to defend them but without the command from their leader, they cannot carry out anything.

The people participating in the riot on the other hand has the advantage, whatever steps the military and government do, they still win because they are taking away their rights, restricting their movements and forcing them into a corner by force.

By using force, such as bullets, water guns against the protestors who started with ladies and even children, military has no reasons to fire bullets against them, but they still did, thus they are in the wrong. For pushing them backwards, they are bullying the weak, thus the protestors return what they receive from the military.

One of which was throwing back a smoke grenade back to the military, thus they cannot say that it is the protestors who started the violence with they throwing grenade into the government protected places as reported in Channel News Asia.

There are lots of political Dos and Not Dos which we can learn by watching the news. If you want to succeed and win in the war of business or politics, you will like to switch your channel and get the latest insights to their progress.

Who is right or wrong, it is all based on personal perception and views. To win, we not only need to know business but also politics.

Obstacles are things which obstruct the path and hinder a process. It stands in the way of the flow attempting to delay or block something from being done.

Depending on the position and size of the obstacle, it will carry different impact. An obstacle in the air path will result in a lack of air thus causing death, similar a blood clot is equally lethal. If it is just a wall of maze to position a person or animal in, it is non-lethal and will properly just result in time wastage with no significant impact or life threatening situation.

As I was trying to do product creation during these few weeks upon long dragging, when I have started writing it, obstacles just keeps on coming, excuses find their way up to me, I find myself just not in a conducive environment which gives me so many disruptions.

Enough of the grumbling, at the end of the day, I know all these written are just excuses which I created and tell myself to give myself more reasons not to do product creation making myself only poorer than I already am, plus dragging me away further from my goals.

I am not sure how long I will overcome all this nonsense in my mind despite going through so many excellent training, coaching and mentors, but I will find my way.

After all, I want to move out of my current environment, and free myself from all liabilities either forced onto all males or those liabilities which I created myself. I will write them out..and sell the products for money to solve all my problems..

Product creation is the one and only way I have to work on. As I was writing, I realized something; obstacles are also part of the learning curve for success, without these difficulties, winning will not be a sweet victory worth celebrating.

People who succeed always celebrate, and the day will come when I pen down my books and sell them to my network of friends who needs the books which I am about to write to increase their sales, profit and business makeover.

The books will be a winner but ..Sigh..no buts..I’ll just have to slog things out, straighten my thoughts and kill all negative thoughts hindering me than doing me good at this point.

If you don’t want to be poor, seek your own course or path towards success, need a plan, feel free to ask me for free advice. If I can help in any way, do let me know.

As long as there’s a will, there’s a way.

Black is result of the lack of light. In the absence of light, it is complete darkness in pitch black.

There are many words associated with black or darkness. Negativity, underground groups such as gangsters, mafias, criminals along with other natural habitat creatures such as bats, underground, caves and explorers often risk death trying to venture into the unknown.

Darkness is not considered to be anything negative but rather it is just another kind of living habitat which is not suitable for most of the living organisms.

Only the creatures with the strongest will power will survive and evolve to change themselves and learn the ropes of survival in complete darkness, in this case a cave.

Having just watched “Planet Earth” from channel U, while it seems dark and creepy looking at the caves from the outside where there’s light, pitch black never fails to give off a sense of misery which attracts dare devils to test out their guts.

Thanks to modern technology and the documentary shows, it is possible to understand and be mesmerized by the allure of the hidden beauty in complete darkness under within the cave.

As the common sayings goes: The most beautiful is often the most lethal and deadly which is true in nature, cave exploration has got its high risk and is filled with nothing but danger, especially if you decide to explore under water.

It is when you live and learn the rules of survival in the darkness, depending on your senses for food and your life that makes it much easier for you to survive out in the wild when there’s light.

Survival is a testament of certain success, regardless of whatever situation and environment, even if it is pitch dark, one must learn and navigate through the routes and find the way out.

The creatures living in darkness and daylight both have their own ways of survival, but man on the other hand can survive both in light and in complete darkness thanks to technology and learning some crucial survival skills.

While we are mesmerized by the beauty of nature we also must respect nature. Likewise, to live, succeed and win, we need to learn the rules of survival in a highly competitive society just like how cave creates evolve through thousands of generations to lose their eyes and be born blind.

Survival is skill. It is the process of surviving unusual circumstances, dangerous situation or even natural disasters.  It is the techniques to provide basic necessities like food, water and shelter to get help.

Under certain conditions either as mention above or when chased out for a community, a person or any living organism will try their very best to live, that is a genetic system build in most of the living organisms in particular man.

In the documentary show on Okto “Is It Real: Federal Children”, it highlights different previous cases of children who were left in the care of animals, learning their language and some eventually landed up in mental institutions as their caregivers give up.

To survive and live on means to find food, water and shelter, it is already being programmed in our mind. Inside the mom’s womb, in the case of a twins, they will fight for survival in food and space, thus sometimes, moms give birth to twins of different size and weight due to food and space competition.

After birth, the mind is fine tuning the brain wires to learn and accept whatever knowledge and education in the crucial few months to first few years of life.

Before and after birth, the first few years are critical in picking up new skills and knowledge, in this documentary case example, it is the ability to learn and master human language since the federal children are being bought up by dogs, wolfs or relatives from the money family.

Brain is a wonderful organ, which can also rewire itself to adapt to changes which explains why people either upgrade or downgrade themselves in terms in intellectual wisdom and behavior by mixing and learning from the group of people they hang around with.

A person who once experienced a accident, causing bones fracture and damage to the brain thus during the healing process, the body needs to relearn how to walk in road accidents cases. This is when the brain will retune and rewire itself to adapt to learn new things unless that particular learning section of the brain is damaged.

Before I side track too much, lets get back to the topic on survival, as it suggest, our brain are programmed to seek for necessity to give us food, water and shelter. In particular to shelter, this covers the area of attention, care and concern which is just being discussed briefly in the show which I will write more in depth about it.

Shelter to my understanding thanks to the documentary show is defined by care and concern being showered to a infant/child by showing love and attention. When this attention and love is missing from the equation, which maybe a result of abusive parents or lack of attention from both working parents, it will lead to more complications which we see in Singapore these days which is sexual related problems.

Sex itself covers a wide array of topics. The core fundamentals of sex boils down to love and attention, when people will start searching for love and attention from whatever source available which will give us what we seek thus the reason why these days, boys and girls often get into boy-girl relationship.

Reason is simple, to compensate for the lack of attention and love from their caregivers who are their parents, grandparents or relatives and adoptive parents.

Children are being neglected due to intensive global competition for money which converts to bread and bacon for the family thus parents as care-givers have no choice but to seek employment for income to bring the bread and bacon back home.

Looking at the perspective of adults and parents, they are not wrong, and it is their mind, the already programmed system to seek for food, which comes from work to get money thus sexual related problems which we have in Singapore and in other countries is a global problem and is not exclusively to a country.

It is the basis of survival, in order to tackle the problem of sexual related issues, we need to go back to the basics, provide attention and love to the children which are near impossible given the competition from both local and foreign talents for the same piece of pie.

There are many ways to go about and provide a solution to sexual related issues to cut the roots of the problem, but that I will keep it secret till the time for me to offer it as a business product and services for the solution.

If you who is reading this post is a parent, try your best not to neglect your children else problems will gradually crept up to you for your ignorance and those problems will only show up when your children grows up. So if you know the cause already from my post, start showing more attention and love to your children.

Work towards having a blissful family which will solve the root of the problem.

Language is a system of study for both encoding and decoding of information as communication process.

There are many different variations of languages, from pictorial diagrams, to words, calligraphy, verbal, visual, body and even natural weather predictions and even the use of symbols in some instances.

Man has multiple systems for information processes such as facial, visual, verbal, hearing, body and emotional communication plus breathing rhythm if in close body contact.

Animals on the other hand especially in the marine life have an extensive communication channel which is a common language in different species. It is similar to man having a common language such as English across the globe. Having watched “Water Colours Part 2 of 3”, with a new knowledge of how colour works.

While fishes cannot talk, they compensate it for their brilliant variety of colours. The colour as a language of communication is the same among all the reef animals in particular those animals that does cleaning.  The colourful display of colours and the ability to change colours is how marine animals in particular those living near the coral reefs and sea bed communicate with one another, colours is the language, used by shrimps, fishes, octopus, squids and rays.

Different body parts of colours serves different purposes, either for survival, sex or to allow other cleaners to clean off parasites from their body. Changing of colours represents the appreciation the cleaning services, and for acceptance of partner for the opposite sex during the mating season for fishes.

Colour changes also happens when the fishes are growing up, having completely different colour and body shape so as to remain completely different from the adult fishes to reduce the association and competition thus increasing their chances of survival living next to the adult fishes.

Man also communicates, but unlike the marine animals, we express ourselves more through body language and via sound. While we cannot change our colour, our body also grows more developed as we grow into adulthood, having either more muscular body for  or more curves which increases the sex appeal and attraction from the opposite gender.

Master the art of understanding language, the system of communication via different means so as to increase your chances of survival and to grow up stronger without putting yourself at risk as you grow.

Reduce risk and increase your odds of survival by mastering the language in different variations not limited to only speech.

Burden is complete opposite of responsibility. It is a form of negative responsibility or a troubling obligation. It is a load carried around with difficulty.

Separating the differences of responsibility and burden is what makes the rich and poor difference.

Rich turn every fault with a solution and benefit from it. They turn problems into solutions and close it as it is.

Poor on the other hand turn every fault into a new problem creating more problems and troubles which is related or associated with a fault thus implicating people who is linked with the event or incident. Those who fall into this poor category, will than turn a small problem into a big problem and create many more problems that than become a problem maker thus the poor get poorer day by day.

Within a family, watching the baby growing up from to a adult can be either a responsibility or a burden. Depending on how parents and grandparents who may help in taking care of the baby or child.

Rich people take care of their children as a form of responsibility within a limited period; giving only what they need thus they can better manage and be independent. This is the model way whereby it is tested proven and works for centuries, refer to documentary on how wild animals and beast take care of their babies and learn from them.

Poor people show care and concern for their children like a burden that will last till they die without time limit. They always try to shield their children from dangers thus children grow up weaker day by day and become more dependent on their parents.

To get rich, wealthy and successful, you have to learn to be independent, seek assistance instead of help.

Dependable as mention in earlier post (blog entry) is on the basis of reliable, and it has to do with dependability as a person or system and it gets more in depth for deeper understanding.

Dependability is the ability to do things beyond what you expected of you, a person or a system. Such as troubleshooting, working with things beyond what you learn and learning it quick as well as putting it into application and coming up with a solution.

Majority of the people need not be dependable in terms of employment situation but ought and should be dependable in a family setting or situation so that the partner and the babies can depend on the person regardless of gender or age for survival and basic necessity like bringing the bread and bacon back home to the family.

It is the responsibility of doing and going beyond what is expected of a person or system to ensure everything goes smoothly without much and major disruptions.

In a family, the head of the family, most often the father figure is taking charge of ensuring that he brings back bread to the family to feed them thus leading to the phrase “sole breadwinner”. Bringing back bacon will be a bonus.

A father is needed not only to be reliable but also dependable, as he may be required to attend to sudden child health issues and family financial difficulties due to family complications and issues with parents in laws, disagreements or anything and everything which calls for attention in the family.

Due to globalization and increasing stiff competition, both parents need to be at work and thus the family is no longer depending on just a person to bring the bread back home. Instead in developing countries, both parents need to work in order to survive and afford to pay for necessities.

No matter how times have changed, generally the rule still applies as the male needs to be the bread winner because unless the law is changed to complete equality, where there is no law that enforce a guy to pay for the maintenance of his spouse and family than only can ladies and women be considered equal.

Thus if you who is reading this blog post right now, and happens to be a lady plus you are still single, start searching for a responsible partner now. It is easy to find a reliable partner but not a dependable partner. As to where to find it, I leave it to your imagination and experience.

Be responsible and accountable for the person who you will be living with for the rest of your life. Ladies, proceed with caution and make the right choice.

Reliable is the reliability in which a person or a system to perform and maintain its routine circumstances, as well as in hostile and unexpected circumstances.

In dictionary definition, reliable and dependable is related words but I myself have different meaning and understanding of this two completely different words.

Reliability is the basis of dependability, without reliability, there is no use even if a person or a system is dependable.

It is the basis and fundamentals of able to perform what is expected of him/her in the situation and environment a person is situated in.

Simply put it this way, it is to do the right thing without mistakes, do it right and repeat the same thing like a well run system like a routine manner.

Should something out of the unexpected surface, the person or system should be able to rectify and solve the problem on hand without much difficulty and that is what I understand of being a reliable person.

Common examples will be in a typical employment setting whereby each of us will just do what is expected of us, do not do anything more and anything less.

Doing anything more means you are poking your nose into other people’s business which means you want to increase your workload without pay increment.

Doing anything less means you are underperforming and putting yourself at risk of being place on the slaughtering platter and getting yourself either fired by the boss or you fire the boss either way works.

In short being a reliable person to me means to do what is expected of you, yourself and doing it within your limits and ability.

Responsibility is an obligation that everybody has in different degree and duties.

It is be accountable, and be responsible for personal action by means of being reliable and dependable. It is the duty which every one of us has since birth. The complete opposite of responsibility is burden which all of us have as well.

There are numerous kinds of responsibilities entrusted to different individuals depending on their status, role and position. Social, moral, corporate, media, individual, professional, cabinet and ministerial responsibility is just some examples of the variations of responsibilities. I will write about the root of responsibility which boils down to individual responsibility.

Individual responsibility changes with time as we grow older and taking different roles and status depending on our personal development.

A duty of a baby to teenager is to grow up strong healthy and do their parents and family proud. The duty of a adult is to ensure that he/she in turn take care of their parents who help groomed them to who they are as an adult. As parents and grandparents, it is to ensure that their children grows up strong, independent with good grades to support themselves and their own newly formed family and also their parents and in-laws plus grandparents if financial ability permits them to do so.

In order to be accountable, and responsible for one’s actions, he/she must be given the right education knowledge and guidance to grow up into a fine example or as a role model.  While responsibility is a topic which no schools will talk and teach, it is what we learn as we grow, that helps us individuals understand the real definition of responsibility or each of their own duties and the roles they have play.

Experiences and knowledge help shape responsibility of an individual, given the wrong guidance, a child will learn about increasing burden than responsibility and increasing troubles and problems affecting the surrounding people slowing down their individual progress or growth in whatever areas.

Schools may be taught the word responsibility but it is only done on the very surface of that word without in depth studies on it as it varies from people to people thus it is largely learn based on experience.

Rich people have more areas to take note as compared to the poor people who in turn is dependent on people for help without helping themselves.

If you want to get rich, wealthy and successful, make sure you understand the real essence of being responsible which is further divided into two words which I have written above and that is to be reliable and dependable which sums up the whole of responsibility.

Have a clear understanding from anyway possible if you want to be rich and successful. The poor is getting poorer day by day due to the fact that they push away their individual responsibilities and make it a burden of their families and relatives thus they are poor.
