Comfort

posted by ryan

Comfort is the feeling which we all seek. Regardless who we are and across the globe, we all seek comfort of feeling pleasurable and contentment thus accounting for the entertainment, self-reward after a day’s of hard work etc.

Comfort is what the key to what differentiates the wealthy and the poor.

People who are poor live in an illusion of their own, feeling and being contented with what they have and never will take steps walk out from own misleading impression of reality. Going home everyday after work, or school only thinking of how it is like to live in a better house. What does it feels like to have a room of their own, example if they are living in a one room flat; they will move to three room flat etc, upgrade and expand their comfort zone.

Poor as they may seems to be, but all of them have a inner desire that seeks a better environment but numerous discouraging experiences from their peers have caused their downfall, submitting to fate and destiny without even fighting to get what they deserved.

Being poor means to live is a unreal precedence of comfort, lying not only to themselves, their family members and even their children to stay within the family, don’t do anything more, just be contented with having three meals a day.

Contentment comes from the fear of having to meet nasty experiences and setbacks again which are obstacles to people and people who are weak mentally will trip, fall and never be able to learn to stand up and continue walking. Like a spoilt brat seeking attention from the caregiver wanting to be coax into taking the next step like a baby learning to walk when he/she is crawling.

There’s only a limit to how much a caregiver can offer to the baby, anything else extra not within the abilities of the caregiver will require the baby’s own efforts to learn and get it him/herself. It is the same like government who never fails to provide food to the poor acting like a caregiver, but by doing so, they are not allowing the baby to grow and pick up a skill which can help them gain independence. That kind of care as a caregiver is a form of negative practice of upbringing that everybody should change.

Instead of feeding the baby, why not put the food there, let the baby learn how to do it, teach them the skill. Gradually letting go of them encouraging them to stand on their own two feet, it’s identical to seeing a baby grow. But people just forget that it is a natural learning curve which everyone must go through and learn from it. If they fail, both the caregiver and the baby failed. If the caregiver does what is needed, but the baby refused to learn a skill to be independent, than the baby has only him/herself to blame.

Wealthy people grow and expand their wealth faster due to their desire to improve their living conditions increases and expand at the limit that surpass their success thus the wealthy are never happy with their homes and seek for bigger better homes. It’s good to have desires, but work positively towards it like the wealthy people.

Are you happy and comfortable with whatever you have currently?

Limit

posted by ryan

Limit is a boundary surrounding specific area. It is the point, line or edge where nothing can proceed beyond nor able to surpass.

Immediately once the birth of a new-born we are very much limited to whom we are by birth and the financial ability and limited area of influence we have on others.

There is always a limit to everything and this limit applies to both the wealthy and poor people regardless of nationality, race, language, or religion. The difference between the similarities of the wealthy and the poor people are the differences in the number of limitations they have on anything and everything.

Poor people are living in a very small private limited situation. They are limited to how much they earn based on their education, how much they earn per hour, only allowed to obey and never to disobey their employees, their parents, teachers and their spouse who is their life-time partner. Even their choice of food, the first thing poor people look on the menu when they enter a restaurant is not the choice of food but rather how much it cost. Being poor are just pathetic; it’s like being a slave if not just like a dog serving their masters. Poor people are helping their masters (employees) to get rich and only contented to have a miserable sum of income as compensation without any benefits to themselves who worked so hard.

Wealthy people on the other hand have way much lesser limitations set upon them. Being wealthy has their benefits, in fact lots of it. They travel around with style, big cars, lesser routine checks, advance booking and reservation of seats. Wide variety of choices to choose from when they dine out, they choose what they really want, without looking at the price tags.  They have memberships, exclusive private invitations etc which only the top prestigious people will be allowed access to.

Both the poor and wealthy people are the same, a pair of eyes, ears, one nose, mouth and even the body organs are the same. All having the same twenty-four hours but what’s the big difference. Talk to them and you will know instantly with just a simple question “How to earn more money?”

The poor will tell you “Buy stocks, follow inside secrets, follow the TV, news reports gossips, buy 4D, TOTO, Lottery etc” while the wealthy will tell you “Invest in property, start a business, hire employees, build a system to run it auto-pilot basis, network with successful businessmen build powerful connections etc”

Now that’s the difference, and it all starts with a simple place, the brain, the mind is where you can change, if you want to be wealthy, start by correcting the negative non-productive thinking inside, dump all of them into the rubbish bin and implant new positive thinking that will help you build stairs, your steps to connecting with wealthy people.

If you’re willing to change, anything and everything you imagine is possible. If you aren’t even others help you get rich, you will not be wealthy without knowing how to manage the sudden increase of money.

New Year Resolution

posted by ryan

Chinese New Year is round the corner, and every Chinese are busy packing, throwing away unwanted furniture and other items, buying new household items and furniture to refurbish their home giving it a new look.

This is a habit and a culture to do so which everybody feels great of to have new items around their home giving the home a new life etc, but as we change our environment, have we ever tried changing and accepting new ideas, knowledge and different thinking to embrace change and upgrade ourselves or are we stuck in the same old place.

If we are stuck, how to get out, no matter what we do in a stuck position, no matter what we do to ourselves outside will never be able to change what’s happening inside our brain which translate to how much we earn, how we educate ourselves, our kids (for people who have kids) and even talking to our parents etc.

Grandfather, grandmother are picking up skills in community centers learning internet and technology years back already, they are willing to accept and add new knowledge and thinking into their brain, are you doing so? If you are against the idea, being left out, and stay happy being out-dated, that’s the end of everything, because people discuss and talk about how to enjoy themselves, catch what movies, how to make more money, what to wear, where to find unique fashion clothes, good discounts etc.

If you’re not progressing, than all the best, even a New Year can’t save you but if you are committed to making gradual changes to your personal life, thinking, you will find new happiness. Those who slog hard for the company are always putting on a black face helping companies to profit, but they aren’t helping themselves to profit and gain extra sources of wealth, and how receptive or unwilling they are to make changes, than that’s the life that they have to accept.

If you have yet to decide what your New Year resolution is, think of a proper one. If you aspire to be wealthy like a millionaire than find your ways to work with them, if you don’t know the contacts, works with me, I’ll connect you to them since they are my mentors.

Quoting from what I learn from my seniors last time:

“In a group of ten people including you, if you are hanging around with nine millionaires, even if you’re a beggar, it also will not affect your odds of success because you are making friends with millionaires and surrounded by them, you will one day be a millionaire like the nine other millionaires.

However if you are hanging in with nine other beggars, even if you have a millionaire mindset, strategies and concrete step by step methods to help you get there, but hanging around with nine beggars will only squander your wealth away in no time buying, paying and spending in indulging yourself and your friends. “

In short: If you want to be a millionaire, hang around and make friends with millionaires, not beggars who will not spur you on to be successful, instead they will drag you down to suffer with them.

I have made my New Year Resolution, and did just that to work with my mentor, have your made the right decision yet?

Lets see if next year will be a better year for you and I in a much wealthier situation than this year. Huat Ar!!

Money

posted by ryan

Chinese New Year is coming, which represents a new Chinese Lunar Year welcoming the zodiac Tiger this year. Every Chinese New Year, Chinese will practice certain beliefs to keep the wealth inwards to the home rather than outwards.

There are taboos during Chinese New Year. Like for instance, sweeping is not allowed during the Chinese New Year period, if there’s really a must to sweep, than it must be sweep from outside inwards to the home so as not to sweep away for God of Fortune.

While everyone is preparing for New Year and welcoming the god of fortune, most of the people however, will not open the door even if god of fortune is knocking on the doors. Those who open the doors will be given and be blessed with fortune and prosperity.

Majority of the people in Singapore have being trained and bought up to look, think and plan only for short term. All that they see and ask of is money, only real hard cash is what they want, they don’t want opportunity which requires hard-work. All that they wish for is money to fall from the sky just like a game played in television shows annually, shaking the money tree in game shows.

Money comes in many variations. It can be in gold, silver, jade, antique, home, insurance savings plan, investments and businesses. It can also come in a form of a business opportunity. An opportunity to be trained by the rich, wealthy millionaires who knows the secrets of doing a business successfully greatly reducing the risk of loses with their valuable experiences.

New Year Resolution is a wish that everyone will make, but only a minority of the people will actually welcome anything opportunity that comes their way. Most of which either give reasons which are excuses to turn away money or tell the opportunity to wait for them, thinking it is their right to get rich and the opportunity must wait for them.

This kind of thinking is completely wrong, but suitable for respective nations, who wants to groom a large pool of civil servants, but I view them as slaves slogging hard for the rich without having a justifiable income for their efforts.

A bull who works so hard, will still be a bull after many years of hard. If working hard is really the proven way to get rich, than the third world should be richer than us already but why are they poorer than us?

The answer is simple and straight-forward: make the right choice choose the cash machine wisely before working hard to grow that cash machine.

Do you want to continue servicing your cash printing machine, or do you want to build a bigger, better cash printing machine with a New Year? If you’re working in the same job, have the same pay, doing the same thing which you have being doing for years, nothing have changed and like wise same for your income over these years and it will remain stagnant for years to come and even is losing in value thanks to inflation which is happening.

Inflation is the number one factor why the rich is getting richer while the poor is getting poorer. Without using the same tools which the rich are using to get rich, the poor will only get poorer because their tools are rusty, broken and not efficient to make more money.

Money is only possible if the poor is willing to change their tools (thinking) and adopt (follow) what the rich do (business investments) instead of slogging (planting a bean sprout) as compared to the rich who’s working hard too in a different way (panting durian trees) looking ahead for the long term continuous income once it ripens and bear fruits.

Here’s the difference: The poor use a green bean to plant a bean sprout with each bean, there can only be a bean sprout which is exchanging an item for an item.

The rich is smarter: Using a durian, to plant a durian tree, for the first twenty-years, there will be no fruits, and required constant care, attention and fertilizer as nourishment. After the twenty-years is up, when the durian tree is ready with deep roots, the rich (famer) will than no longer be required to care for the durian tree as it is ready to stand on their own producing rich quality and quantity of durians with zero effort from the twenty-one year onwards reaping the fruits of labor than sharing it with the people who assisted him during those difficult years.

Earning money is easy, exchanging time for money. Building wealth is much more difficult like planting a durian tree, but success will only belongs to people who are not only hard-working but also smart in making the right decision as to what kinds of seeds to plant and looking ahead of the benefits of planting the right seeds.

If you want to work with millionaires in printing money right now, don’t hesitate, contact me now and I’ll show and share with you what seeds I will be planting, and how I know it’s going to be the next durian tree. Success belongs only to people who makes the right decision and seek proper guidance. I’m learning from millionaires, and so should you. Join me as we go on a journey planting and farming durian trees.
