Eliminate

posted by ryan

Eliminate is to get rid, omit or remove from further consideration or competition. It is to be void or expel and when it becomes serious such as to eradicate and kill the enemy.

Elimination is what keeps the Asian nations running and function perfectly like a well oiled engine with a system that never breaks down not even once.

In the game of elimination, where it is embraced and practiced by Asian countries, it is a similar to the game show “Survivor” from the USA or “Ninja Warrior” from Japan. The strongest contender wins the game and is crowned the champion at least for that very moment and during the process.

Failure is not an option nor do we Asians encourage one another, it may look bad on the surface, but in fact this elimination culture in Asians is what keeps us going and striving for the better and to surpass the previous champions and winners previously.

Once you fail in any segment of the game show, you are eliminated instantly either by the rules or via votes. For you to come back again, you need to wait for the next show to win back your honor, something which the Japanese perfected in their quest for supremacy thus it climb back up from the fall of the WWII to be the leader in technology.

China is another highly and extremely competitive country, where the strongest and fittest survives. On the surface it may look cruel to abandon our peers and move forward, but this trait and style of practice is essential in the quest for supremacy. Why so, because in order to be the supreme leader in whatever you do, there is no room for weaklings, thus elimination is the way business is conducted thus the difference in business ethics between China and USA.

Singapore on the other hand is a cosmopolitan country with such a rich mixture of nationalities from all over the country that it is no longer works on neither encouragement nor elimination. Instead Singapore is purely and solely based on Black and White, everything has to be spelled out for on the paper in the law. With neither sides near us, the weak minded people will naturally open themselves to lots of problems like being over dependant on the country which is what most of the Asians are doing and is not restricted to only Singapore but also to our neighboring countries.

Being an island with no common share identities with other nations, we need to identify ourselves, like our forefathers in history which we learn, we should take up entrepreneurship, look at the Chinatown back than, it was buzzing with activities and businesses, so much so that it causing problems but that is a positive problem. Look at the current Singapore and ask yourself what is the difference, and if you bright enough with see what I see, you are somewhere there already.

I may not be somebody now, but with time, you will see what I am made off. Either you join me now and we work together and build trust, or in future I select candidates and partners to work with. You decide for yourselves. Look at Bill Gates and his investors, those who invested in them when they were back than a nobody is already benefiting lots from their first investment to date. Vision and foresight is what keeps an entrepreneur moving despite all odds moving against the tide emerging as the champion, the supreme leader.

Success is not a process, it is war, and in war, you need to eliminate your enemies and step on their corpses, with the killing intent and aura to scare off any potential competitors. Constantly improve and work with like minded people to succeed together. Refer to Chinese Three Kingdoms if you need more information.

Imagination

posted by ryan

Imagination is the ability of forming mental images, sensations and concepts in a moment when they are not perceived through sight, hearing or other senses.

It is the products of imagining, a conception, and mental creation, often a baseless or fanciful one. It can work together with ideas and the key to imagination is to think without any restrictions or barrier such as worries about the ability to carry out the plan via financial means and network or influence etc.

It is to think and reach for the impossible that challenge the mind to eventually come up with something with time that is more practical via team discussion and brain-storming meetings.

It is psychology, the power of reproducing images stored in the mind under suggestion of associated images or recombining former experience in a new creation of new image directed at a specific goal of solving a problem with a solution.

Start dreaming, and talk about it, who knows one day you might have come up with your own vision which can help you become the next bill gates, imagination is the start and catalyst of a vision that can help you make a fortune from it.

Passion

posted by ryan

Passion is a powerful emotion, a feeling or desire, a strong or extravagant fondness and enthusiasm for something. It is the immersed emotion and enthusiasm that allows hobbies to stay alive and keep doing it without expecting anything in return.

Passion is a interest in whatever a person does, be it a job, hobby that he/she does for a living and is so enthusiastic about it that they do not mind working over time, not getting paid for doing what they love.

An example will be to be involved in a relationship, younger teenagers these days get into boy girl relationship for various reasons, of which most are due to immaturity in mindset together with their curiousness on how it feels like to be in one.

Boys go into relationship for pride and ego, not wanting to lose out to their peers, they just want to find a easy partner and do whatever they want with sweet talking a girl into the trap in some cases.

Girls get into relationship to be loved, to seek attention from her partner to compensate for her lack of attention and focus from both her parents.

Don’t believe me? Just look back and think about it. In the passed, boy-girl relationship only starts around sixteen to eighteen years of age for the earliest if not matchmaking for marriage purpose.

Teenagers are able to follow the natural genetics order of growing more mature than look for relationship because they get the attention, care plus love and concern from their parents back than when there was it was still possible for a family to depend on a sole bread winner to support the family.

These days, thanks to competition, both parents have to work hard, less family time together, lack of love, care and concern is the crucial factor leading to boy girl relationship. Just look around the students, those born and blessed with loving parents who pay attention to their kids will not have the need nor want to even get into a relationship because their body, the genes knows that it is not yet the time for romance. Its within everybody in our blood.

Passion can help us to succeed if applied correctly. Artist for example as an occupation is a great example for people to integrate both their passion and art work together as one, so they don’t mind the low pay and lack of exposure from local markets.

Once you identified your own passion, things will get done go smoother for you even if you face obstacles, it will be resolved in a matter of time often it goes away with a new idea that pops up in your mind.

I blog and hang around forums to discuss and share tips in those medias because I enjoy what I am doing without bothered for the returns. When you start giving, you will somehow receive back something, it does not need to be in monetary forms. It can be happiness, sense of satisfaction that just gets you moving and wanting to help more people.

Blogging initially was plainly for a replacement of their personal diary which started few years back, and soon it evolved into a fashion trend and evolved into technology with people jumping in without knowing why they even want to be part of it.

From blogging to micro-blogging with the introduction of Twitter, those doing blogging are considered out-dated. I don’t really care about it, because they are following the trend, exposing their personal lives daily activities to strangers, letting them know of their actions, throwing away their privacy rights which is silly.

Mirco-blogging just to get updated, it is more of a self-expression of our own thoughts than to be silly enough to post pictures, activities that will attract predators to prey on gullible individuals brushing with law.

Passion is the enthusiasm, not a fashion fad but a fashion trend which will go on and on with the right results. Bloggers who had the right thoughts about the origins of it, used blogging to start doing their own business and succeed, of which those featured in newspapers are single young mummies and its something which people should learn from.

Don’t follow others for wanting to be in the bandwagon of crowd not to be left behind. Instead why not think about how to brand and sell yourself? How you can profit from your passion, with the correct advice and guidance, everything is possible as long as you are willing to take a step forward and learn from people who has the related skills and ability to share with you.

Starbucks is so successful today because the CEO is so passionate about offering top quality coffee.

Donald J.Trump is so successful because he enjoys doing what he likes and that is to build properties just like his dad.

Bill Gates is successful because he made his vision into a reality with the help of his mom.

Facebook founder Mark Elliot Zuckerberg started the social media site as his Harvard controversy of the project which started purely just to keep in touch with his classmates.

If you want to be the next successful individual, find coaches and mentors who will guide you along by the hand. I’ve found my mentors, have you found yours yet?

If in doubt about yourself and your passion, fee free to contact me and I’ll get back to you shortly after. Either way, you can leave your comments just right below.

Find your passion and live your life without regrets.

Seek happiness in whatever you’re doing and not to be in misery doing what you detest most just for money.  Passion will lead you to wealth and successful with the right mentor coaching. Work will only lead you to a fraction of money.

Spot the difference identify your own passion and work towards it.

Vision

posted by ryan

Vision is the act or power of anticipating what will or may come to be often said that entrepreneurs are visionaries. It is a vivid imaginative conception or anticipation with visions of wealth and glory.

Vision isn’t possible without dreams. Only with dreams than vision is possible. Dreams are the catalyst to react with action, application to form a vision which an entrepreneur sees.

Dreams cannot be shared it’s just all in the mind playing games only. Vision on the other hand is different. Once a vision is shared among a group of like-minded people, it creates a collective group of people working towards a common goal. A team is formed, and with more people having the same goal, its influence is greater and denser with the ability to influence more people to accept their vision and work together towards a common and greater goal of success.

Visions are the catalyst to entrepreneurship. If you can’t see yourself to be on the top sharing successes helping others who helped you, than there’s no joy in reaching the top if nobody is celebrating your success together with you as a group.

At times when the vision seems too far-fetch, than entrepreneurs will use another term, foresights, seeing what is to become in future tense and drawing up steps on how to make it a reality by implementing steps necessary and gradually to morph it into a reality with time and patience.

Vision works well with foresight, one who can looks into the future, identify the future, shape it will be the winner. Look at Bill Gates, one a college drop-out now a billionaire having his computer operating system in majority of the computers worldwide until the rise of the Apple Mac-book Steve Jobs the founder of Apple computer and forerunners of super cool information technology processes and ideas.

If visions don’t work, work on foresight instead, it is something that is much closer and has higher possibility than visions which some people might think it’s impossible.
