Help is the act of either giving or provide what is necessary to accomplish a task or a need, to render assistance to people who need it.

It also make life less difficult and reliving them off their illness, pain and sufferings.

Help is everywhere and anywhere. Are you the person who likes to help and advise people or are you one who only likes to receive help and assistance from others and never give back any?

Help is a two way thing. The more people you help, the more people will help you succeed. The more reluctance you show in refusing to help others, the same others will show to you.

Look at businessmen. They are setting up businesses, helping many people in different areas. By employing employees, they are helping the majority of the people to get paid if they are willing to work hard for the company, and in return they get money to bring bread and butter back home to the family.

By doing business, providing service and solutions to help solve business partners’ problems, they are helping others again, and in return they get money (profits) back in return.

By lending a hand in charity with money, they help people in extreme poverty get fed with food and basic supplies, they didn’t expect anything in return, but than others see it, than again they are helping themselves.

The return favor of helping comes back to the business in the form of recognition, branding and position which is goodwill, building a reputable brand for the country, individual or business, the more low-profile you are, the more happiness you will get and more rewards will come back to you.

Not everything comes back from helping in the form of money, but the values and reward to helpful people and businesses will end up with much more than what they offered.

When individuals and business do charity, they can reduce their tax for that year too from the government and more support from the leaders governing the countries with more benefits in future. There’s nothing to lose in helping but a lot more to gain.

Exercise caution when you offer and extend a helping hand. Never ever help any individual that refuse to accept your help and stretching out their hand. If they reject you, so be it, there are others who will gladly accept and appreciate your help.

Practice selectively helping, else you will be abused too. Example: You don’t go around helping people in the brink of bankruptcy when they didn’t learn their mistakes or lessons. The more you offer help, the more you’re digging your own grave to perish together with the people facing bankruptcy at the expense of your financial help.

You will not help people who don’ t share the same vision, goals as you (only applicable to businesses only). If you’re into philanthropy, than just do it as long as it is within your means and financial ability allows. Spending and spreading wealth wisely to those deserving of a chance to succeed and grow.

Do not help people who will turn their backs on you, a real life betrayal of unconditional help will be USA. They who believe in their religion believe in helping anyone and everyone, and the help they offered get abused in this case example.

USA trained Osama Bin Laden, who in turn became a real ring leader in terrorist who betrayed USA’s kind intentions, war breaking out among Iran, Iraq, and neighbouring countries suffer in some ways.

So select carefully and help, don’t help people who act like they need help but with hidden agenda that go against your vision, principles and directions which again leads me to entrepreneurship.

Choosing the right business partners, help people who accept your help and not people who only want to make use of your help, be selective and test their intentions if needed.  Choose the right business partner and your life plus wealth will be made much easier, choose and make the wrong choice or decision, and you have hell of a time like USA still trying to capture Osama Bin Laden who may still be hiding inside the mountains underground and in the caves etc.

Fairness is what every poor mindset people think of only, to have a fair game, no advantages or biases towards anyone.

Advantage is what wealthy successful people neither seek, which does not and neither looks nor sounds fair to majority of the poor mindset thinking majority.

Decades and centuries have proven that there’s no fairness in this world, the strongest and fittest wins, the natural order of life.

All babies do start of on the same footing, having the same equal chance of survival, but there are other factors which babies can’t control, their family background, their genes, the blood line of heritage they will inherited etc. These are the unfair advantage of born in different family backgrounds.

Poor often say if I have this amount of money, I also can make it big and successful like those super rich with my business ideas. Some people even claim that they steal their ideas, when the fact is they neither know each other nor spoken to each other, let alone even know of each other existence, so how can the poor mindset person say their idea of success was stolen?

Throw them the people with a sudden increase of money, in a short period of time, they will be reduced back to the same old person, it has being proven countless times without anybody purposely sabotage or anything. It just happens.

How many times have you read news articles, know of people who suddenly became rich from being lucky with lottery, TOTO, 4D and hitting the jackpot can maintain their sudden surge of money to the next generation? No one has ever done it, even those who said they wanted to invest also failed to roll the money bigger.

The reason that is holding the truth to this, is the belief, mindset what is in their head, their financial literacy, how much do they know about wealth management, investment that will help them to get wealth not rich not money. It is only when you change your thinking, than only your wealth status quo will change as you increase your mindset towards being positive and learn plus apply and perfects it.

If you understand the essence of this blog entry, than start looking for your advantage, and don’t expect the world to have fairness, even if there is, you have choose to abandon the equal chance presented to you when the opportunity was there presented to you, but you just rejected it.

Don’t blame others, blame only yourself not even your parents for the result you’re getting now.

Get this into your head. “Life is not fair, it’s about having an advantage”

Cooking is the preparing of food for consumption.  It is a mastery of skills, handling, experience of using the fire, water, ingredients, mix and matching of different food to come up with a excellent display of dish with nice presentation for both visual, and mouth-watering tasting sensation.

Cooking requires positive discipline, organizing, tidiness, cleanliness, budgeting, creativity and sensitive sense of smell, taste-buds, hearing and sight. It’s not simple to master it, but when you master it, the same skills which were used to help you cook up a nice table full of dishes will help you greatly in the process of becoming wealthy if you correctly apply it and convert it into financial and business disciplinary education.

How a person cooks directly reveals his/her attitude and working style. It’s similar to wealthy businessmen playing golf to determine their business partners and the deal etc. Cooking is just a part of the consideration factor. Still, if you want to get wealthy, learn to play golf, they have their reasons for playing golf.

Cooking and the cleaning up part will reveal a person’s attitude and thinking to clearing up a mess of his/her own. The preparation of the dishes will reveal how hardworking and meticulous a person is in details which translates to business customer service. The presentation of the dish, layout etc will reveal to you how a person present and sell him/herself to others. How they eat the food will reveal how much table manners, respect they have to their elders, parents and friends.

Mastering cooking will not help you to go from rags to riches, but not wealthy. It will help you improve yourself, have more discipline etc. To be wealthy, you need to learn a lot of other related education to succeed; it’s more about the mindset which determines your success, so work on it.

You can get rich from cooking, but when you’re rich, you can’t stop cooking else your money will stop which is the difference between getting rich and getting wealthy. Wealth is accumulated even when you do nothing; it’s just a result of what seeds and hard-work you put in previously that allows you to reap the fruits of your hard labour in the past which not many people will know of.

Cooking encourage communication, discussion among family members. Advice and experiences are shared on the table during dinning or at a tea-break session with a common interest in food, the universal language regardless of boundaries, thus it is the easiest method to break the ice, increase the family bonding etc.

If you want to instill discipline into a spoilt brat, throw him/her into the kitchen and just make sure they don’t burn the kitchen in flames will do. Stand by their side, offer advice, not nag, and let them do what they like experiment it, taste the difference, than advice are much appreciated, rather than immediately saying No to this, that whatever is wrong, than they get the expected answer without first tasting the bitter, burnt food dishes which they should taste.

Cooking is a great way to teach children as they grow up and be independent to cook for themselves and family members if all are staying together sharing the fun process, enjoyment and happiness of cooking.

Savings are the conservation of money, to save and conserve for a clause, example for a rainy rain.

Saving is a good habit but not necessarily a positive habit. Starting as young as kids, parents were taught to pass and impart the knowledge and importance of savings to their kids but not investment. Thus everyone across the globe knows the importance of savings but not investment.

The poor will impart the good habit of savings for a rainy day idea to their kids and they will save every single penny in their whole life without any changes to the knowledge that was imparted to the kids.

The wealthy will impart investment habit to their kids in different learning examples, coming up with games, learning lessons to increase their knowledge of doubling their start up capital to generate more income.

If there’s no external new knowledge being passed to the kids who are growing up in a savings mindset family, the future of the kids’ family will suffer, more unhappiness will follow, something which I realized long ago but it only stuck and was imprinted in my mind only today thus this blog entry.

As a kid, it’s good to save, so when they grow up, they have a starting pool of piggy bank to for investment into a business, but parents often just stop their financial education to their kids once they see that their kids are doing well, stopping halfway, without telling them the core idea and importance of savings.

Savings from young is to start accumulating a bucket of gold, than when the time is ripe, with sufficient funds, than their first bucket of gold should be used for investment purpose and must learn the steps to investment.

Parents failed to impart the knowledge of investment to their child solely because they neither lack the knowledge nor know-how to go about investment, thus in the adulthood stage, when poor mindset people start working, the problem of having a mindset savings snowballs into a bigger problem, creating lots of unhappiness and life living in misery.

Young kids can save, as they have not much items or gadgets which they need to buy, if proper discipline is being used and proper knowledge of financial management has being passed down to their kids.

Saving money as a teenager than starts to become a problem, with lots of temptations, peer pressure, and the fear of being bullied, left out/behind in a fashion savvy or technology updated group of peers. Teenagers will than experience more difficultly in saving any money.

Adulthood and beyond are the worse section and experience which a person will experience if he/she were to continue saving money and not learning the how-to to invest. Having seen different parents, family members, relatives (even those who are living a landed property) are saving as much as possible, making them look more like a cheapskate and not a thrifty person.

Cheapskate is one who will collect, take back small little free items from restaurants, hotels, air-planes when they either dine out if not are on a holiday vacation. Not willing to part with small money will not lead to big money which is needed in investment. The worse and unhealthy example of being a cheapskate is to wash those microwavable Tupperware after use to repeat use them. I’m concern about using them over again since it’s plastic and it chemicals will more or less leave some scent and taste with the food, plus health reasons.

Adults who are near if not already classified in the seniors age above fifty years old have even worse saving habits which are the cause of family unhappiness too, picking up redundant habits which only make matters worse than better thus elder folks are either unable to live happily with their children and grandchildren.

When grandparents’ saving ideology worsen and degrades into scrimping and squeezing every single possible cent out from any offer etc, now that is a saving behavior and mindset gone completely wrong and children can’t accept nor understand the changes thus they just move out.

Ugly saving ideas and behaviors such as plastic bags, starting form the aunties group all the way to grandmothers, whatever they do, wet market, super market, dinning in or out, plastic bags are the sure take item and they take lots of it. Taking back empty boxes, paper cardboards, newspapers etc, all back home to safe-keep in case there’s a need one day for the box which still can be used to store things.

When they pick up the items, to them it’s saving money, but without proper arrangement, it transform into a house full of junk items and the grandparents or aunties are super reluctant to throw away the items which are junk in our eyes. Those items can be recycled in recycling centers and even for profit but elders are ignorant, they don’t know, so to help get rid of their ‘junk’, we need to sort and tidy it, than sell it away, money pass to them so they will keep quiet.

Next time if somebody teaches you to save money, look and observe what saving practice do they use themselves?  If it is savings to scrimping, don’t even follow. If it is savings to investment than you stick to that person and learn it well.

The wealthy and successful businessmen always have a positive mindset. Regardless of what problems, obstacles, and technical issues they face in front of them, businessmen will always have a positive mindset and work towards a solution.

“It takes positive to breed positive and together positivity breeds success,” something which I just thought of as I was writing this blog.

Being positive has got tons of benefits, especially if you want to go from rags to riches, you must equip yourself with a positive mind and constantly hang and network with positive and successful people.  Who you network with will affect the results you produced. If you want to know the results of what will happen to you if you network with the wealthy people, look around and find out more on who are they mixing with, are there a single failure with a negative mindset among those successful businessmen, absolutely NO!! When you even associate yourself with one, the damage is already done, so stay clear and don’t even network with people who have negative or happy mindset.

A life example will be, look at actors actresses, all the media artist hang around media artist, what the chances whereby you can see them are hanging around with average people who are non-media artists with the exception of going out with their family and relatives. In fact, even if you do spot them, what is the percentage of you seeing them frequently, it’s like one in a thousand chances to see media artist on the streets unless they are working.

Each successful individual are successful because he/she hang around and network exchanging ideas, strategies, tips and methods to improve each others weakness to mastering the art of perfection in each other giving positive remarks and comments.

If you want to make a change, start by reading more of my blog, ask questions. Go to libraries to borrow self-improvement books, read, learn and absorb what you find useful and beneficial to you. At times if you can’t find any, than you need to dumb away your negative unproductive thoughts before you can even accept and absorb positive education which is easily available to the public.

It is easily accessible to the public to learn and picked up, but it’s not simple to absorb those free successful education and thinking into our minds. Just look at how many people go to libraries, how many people who read such books make it to the multi-millionaires rank. Little to none, because they can’t absorb what is taught and shared by successful people without first admitting their own learning is flawed and try to learn from the book with their flawed thinking and mindset which will of course produced flawed results.

If you need statistics, ask your friends, how many even bother to read millionaire, multi-millionaires or even billionaire’s books and trillion dollar company strategy books? Not many, nor do they even go to the business section to know that it’s free to the public for borrowing. Do what you need to do & do it!

If you’re not successful, now you should know why and what you need to do to alter the results which you’re getting. You have a choice between positive and negative. What will your option be?

Dream is a succession of images, thoughts or emotions passing through the mind during our sleep. It is also a vision voluntarily which we indulged in while being awake which is to day dream example during classes, at work etc.

Dreaming is a powerful tool yet very much under utilized of. It is a state of thoughts running through the mind which can be beneficial to us regardless of it being good or bad dream.

If it is good, it encourage ourselves to work harder in a particular direction towards our passion. If it is bad, remember the bad dream, and how you felt in that dream, and take steps to make sure that what you least wanted in your mind doesn’t happened.

Most of us will have dreams, but majority of us who dream a dream will just leave the dream as it is, hoping to have a part II continuation of the same dream extended version, which I had a few couple of success when I was young.

Dreaming back than was like playing video games to me, in a poor family, games are considered a luxury back than, so dreaming is my next best option, cheapest and I feel great even after I wake up from the dream whereby I was the kid being tasked to test out new games before it launches the product for better improvements and fine-tuning.

Dreams are free. The more you dream, the better your chances of success are if you do what is right to make your dreams into a reality. On the other hand, if you don’t even dare to dream, your odds of success is greatly reduced.

Dreams are free, and should be dreaming, but never ever overdo it, and dream for the impossible, dream of something practical and within reach, which has a possibility to you, even if others say it’s impossible. Listen to only yourself, your mentor, coach, and accept only constructive advice, don’t accept whatever junk advice losers give you.

To succeed, you need to first learn to dream without limits and start picturing visions of yourself at the top doing whatever you like and wish for. Do whatever it takes to reach what you seek but do it within legal and ethical means.

If you need a life example, just google Susan Boyle and watch videos on her success, it all started with dreaming defying the odds against you. So start dreaming, and get it right this time, without dreams, there will be no vision.
