Encourage

posted by ryan

Encourage is to promote, advance and foster the spirit of confidence and inspire with courage. In different countries lies different culture and practice.

Encouragement culture doesn’t works in Asian countries but it works very well in western countries. Encouragement is one of the attributes leading to the success and glory of their nations.

Failure is not a way out for western nations but it is a way out for Asians especially in poorer nations thus entrepreneurship isn’t practiced in such nations.

In the show “America Gladiators” the contestants who dropped off from the hand bike where they use purely hand power to push themselves forward, but should they failure to cling onto, they are still not out of the game and can climb their way back up into the game and continue.

Having watched this game show for quite some time, it displays and gradually becoming clearer to me that different countries shows are based on their own style.

Patriotism, encouragement and just a tiny little bit of propaganda which not many people would notice in everything that they do. It is so natural to them that they do it naturally like a auto-run program which manifest by themselves. The most obvious style which they do things is that they never fail to showcase their national flag on any shows or events and competition.

Being proud of themselves, mutual encouragement and helping one another is how they do things there contributing to their successes and glory. It is something that we must learn but not necessary a need to learn, just know it and apply but don’t focus heavily on such style or culture. I will tell you why in the next blog entry with the title Eliminate.

Bonding

posted by ryan

Bonding is a relationship between a parent and the offspring since the beginning inside the womb, sharing telepathy only possible between the baby and the mother connected by blood vessels physically for nine to ten months.

With birth, the baby than has new bonds with the father, grandparents, grandparents-in-laws and relatives as second line of bonding. Each and everyone get to bond with the baby via touch such as hugging, playing, and kissing of the baby.

Bonds are created and made possible with time from fostering children and establishing the friendship even among parents and their children to have even closer bonding tied by both blood and trust.

Family bonding is the first line of social defense followed by friends bonding, than the bonding and connection with the country and followed closely behind by physiological defense.

Social defense is to strengthen the bonding and connection which we all have among our own people who grow up on this small piece of land as compared to the world. We need to work together to help one another to deter and reduce the impact and influence foreigners have on us.

China sets a very good example in this aspect, social and psychological defense. China will do whatever it takes to greatly reduce the influence USA has on it’s internet presence which will corrupt the mind of the communists who practice to watch their personal behavior and not to be as open minded as USA, thus the huge extent of censoring Twitter, Facebook and strongly encouraging Baidu their home grown China internet search engine to flourish. Like the Chinese always say: 肥水不流外人田 “fei shui bu liu wai ren tian” which means better to benefit and help our own people than to help outsiders.

China has done an excellent job in that social defense, which should be encourage to minimize the influence on the mental on the weak minded people who get influenced easily, thus causing culture change, from wearing decent covered clothes to revealing boobs, butt cleavage clothes which is degrading when done wrongly and sends a wrong message.

Singapore being a multi-racial country has its fair share of difficulty trying to guard and maintain the social interest in local culture. Ghost festival, temple god celebration by the Chinese is becoming lesser popular as opposed to foreign culture. Religion will not be mention here to prevent the spark of racism.

But it’s obvious that which religion is fast becoming embraced by our locally born Singaporeans embracing the religion of foreign cultures and their practice. Look at China, while the world is in chaotic situation, they the global economy needs China to save the world despite Yuan being a low valued currency and is not as updated as Singapore. Unity is what China has done the Chinese proud; not forgetting one’s roots is what I strongly and firmly believe in.

The bonding that China nationals have versus Singapore nationals is a far cry and should be taking noticed of. Look at Taiwan, Singapore should follow and learn from Taiwan, not follow USA practice that’s killing our own culture practices and bowing USA as our fathers when our actual forefathers are from China and Malaysia.

Taiwan although being influenced like Singapore with foreigner’s presence by occupation due to war treaty, but the Chinese culture there is still as strong if not stronger than Singapore by leaps and bonds. Singapore has let the culture evolution slide and made way for foreign influence corrupting majority of the people’s minds.

Look at how Taiwan celebrate their Chinese temper culture, they have keep up with times, and to ensure that the local Taiwanese stay and stick to their own culture, they allow the temple related culture to evolve and have electric dance from the god representative, giving it a new feel and look, keeping up with the rock techno music industry while retaining their own values and cultures. With frequent festive celebrations monthly, it is deeply craved in their minds of the true origins so Singapore who has bowed down so much to foreign cultures, should take some time to relook at how to maintain our own heritage and look at how China, Taiwan are able to hold their heads up high and not bowing down to the pressure of global influence. It should be we the dominant race in global presence thanks to China, lead and not the white skin who looked down on the yellow and brown skin.

Just look at USA, there are still underlying issues with the white black issue, due to the value the black skin population bring to the white skin, they have no choice but to accept them reluctantly. Don’t believe look back at the latest presidential election which states “The first black US president” which is the white black difference and it’s still around but they greatly reduce it to prevent riots for security reasons.

Bonds will never fail us; equality seekers will fail us eventually in times of needs especially war times.

China is able to withstand the technology revolution because they moral values emphasis heavy weight age on family, relatives gathering, whatever the public dislike or don’t agree, the internet technology guys don’t even dare to do anything with what’s not welcomed in China. Taiwan celebrity Rainee Yang is a typical example, being blocked from China due to the population dissatisfaction and thus hindering her entertainment growth into the China music arena. She was blocked from China market for years due to speaking the wrong words which angered Chinese in China and was recently being emphasis again on a similar event.

Whatever we do, we need to remember our roots, and speak our own native language to maintain and ensure our own traditional culture never dies off. That is needed to be a homeland of respective nation by not allowing other culture to step into our home turf.

It is the bonding that we have that will stick to us and nothing can change that fact.

So which side are you really on? Ask and search your inner self for answers. What is it that you desire?

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!!
