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.

Consideration is the evaluation of facts and benefits keeping in mind of something.

It is the process of weighing the difference effects and consequences to something before, during and after the decision has being made. Thinking about the results, if it will produce positive or negative impact, who are the affected parties, who will benefit, who is the main targeted market who directly benefit from the decision.

The poor, takes lots of time to come up with a decision, without first knowing what they want, how they will judge and access anything when the time calls for a decision to be made. First thing that comes to the mind of the poor is “let me go home and think” which not only isn’t productive, efficient and it will further delay the growth in all aspects. When poor people goes back to think, the people they talk to are people who knows nothing, and when a ignorant person ask another ignorant person, the answer after the decision is nothing thus hindering their own success and growth.

The wealthy and successful people have their own way of consideration and will set a date line for all decisions to be made with the exception of when the project/proposal will implicate the whole business, employees, than no time limit will be set. The general consideration factors typically hang around these few.

Projected return on investments, target market, strategy to penetrate into the market, what are the risk and rewards to themselves, the employees and the company/business. Will it be possible to expand business into a new area to increase profits and slowly build an empire, who is the partners they will be working with, do they have the clean past track record, their respective style of doing business, how they treat their partners after a successful project, if they turn their backs around them and run off.

Wealthy and successful individuals have their own respective consideration factors to think first before making any decision. The higher appointment you hold in the business, the deeper your consideration needs to go under to areas which will be overlooked.

When it comes to making a decision, they are fast, efficient in this aspect while the poor takes their time, drag this drag that, thinking the opportunity will wait for them living a their own made believe world.

People who go from rags to riches will understand this time, timing which is why all self-made millionaires and billionaires keep increasing their wealth as compared to businesses whereby it is handed down from generation to the next.

People who are already successful born in a silver spoon might not necessarily understand the essence of it because they have the power (money) to do things from the start.

If you don’t know what to consider, ask the person who introduce it to you, they can help and assist you in making an informed decisions with them knowing the differences among their competitors.

The more time you think without discussing and asking questions and keeping those questions to yourself, the higher your chances are of failure. Wealthy and successful people are not afraid to ask, it is only when they start asking, they learn something new and thus more windows of wealth accumulation will be opened up to them.

If you don’t know, start asking. Be humble, but never be modest. Give credits where it is due.

Repercussion is an effect or result of an action. It is the rebound or recoil of something after impact.

Whatever we do, there are repercussions be it positive or negative. Doing anything without first thinking will invite negative results.

Poor people often do not think of their actions they want to do first than blunt it out without thinking. Than when the results are unsatisfactory, they will than go back to the same person and make a din, noise creating a messy and nasty situation over a small problem. Guys and gals often do this, like hens flipping their wings than going around the other hens.

With huge authority comes huge responsibility which requires board shoulders to take accountability of their actions and decisions. Repercussions should be considered before anything is done.

In religion, it is about sin and blessing, for others its cause and effect while others is about karma.

No matter what you do, there is always the result which will be out and made know to people even if you do not like it.

Learn to face the music regardless of it being noise or music.

Speed is a movement, swiftness, the rate of motion moving ahead.

Doing different things and work requires different mastering and utilization of speed at the required level, not always must we charge ahead at full maximum speed.

In life, we need to learn to be like a racer in a race track, we cannot always drive at top gear. As the car is round the corner at the turn, the racer must drop speed in order to move safely passing the track to avoid crashing and lost of life.

Learning the pace, mastering and perfecting the speed are more important than knowing how to drive the race car. In life, we can’t always learn to charge forward like a herd of wild animals on rampage. It takes skills and experience to drive and complete a race track safely without crashing.

Like magic, sometimes having a fast impact magic performance is good couple with great music, lighting and atmosphere. At times, doing different magic performance requires it to be slow, clear to whoa the audience with their extremely slow speed.

You can do it fast, but once people have great expectations of doing the same thing, when you fail to meet their expectations, it will result in disappointment.

However if you learn to use both fast and slow tactic, it will leave the audience curious and wanting to know what’s your next performance be about. Learn how to master speed and you will let the audience in anticipation which you can increase your value and audience who will help you increase your revenue with more profits and customers.

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?

Fashion is a customer style of dressing showing etiquette, and for socializing purpose.

Trend is a direction, a course which leads from a one style to another upgraded style similar if not better than earlier style and taste.

Fad is a temporary fashion which is followed by a group not making big impacts.

Fashion trends are always hanging around us, and in some instances, keeping up with fashion trend is not a healthy sign nor is it good education for both healthy and mental well-being which creates more profit for businesses at the expense of making customers get poorer as they shop more following fashion trends.

Fashion Fad is a temporary fashion adopted by only a small group of individuals not affecting the majority for businessmen to take notice and benefit from the fad in anyway possible.

There are lots of examples for us to learn from.

No Rules: A t-shirt brand which had previously caused a fashion craze to be part of the wearer among the teenagers. Wearers of this t-shirt somehow have the feeling that rules need not be observed, which is why people wearing those shirts are more daring to express themselves leading getting trouble with the law.

Quick Silver: Another brand which rides on the success of the wagon of No Rules and just after short period of No Rule’s increasing popularity, then Quick Silver came into the picture. They had the same appeal to the teenagers, without making much of the impact as compared to the first mover who has the advantage.

Skirts: In the past when I was still young, the shortest length of skirt maximal length will be stopped at the knee. In older generation it has to be completely covering the whole legs from butt to the ankles revealing only the feet for wearing of shoes. With time and media coverage on overseas fashion propaganda, ladies are taught to  think that revealing more and more is good, looks great on them using the beauty weakness of ladies to start the trend and profiting from this trend.

Look at what the fashion trend is now presently, short skirts, mini skirts, shorts, some even so short that a shirt can easily cover the skirt or shorts, giving the impression on guys that these ladies are attracting lots of un-wanted and unnecessary attention which result in molesting, raping and more social problems happen. With increase exposure in revealing themselves for beauty purpose, lots of teenagers suffer the consequences in sex, pregnancy etc, all thanks to nonetheless fashion trend which started the ball rolling.

With the trend going from long to short and ever shorter, it’s not good for health. If you watch documentary, you will know that our body is designed to lose heat faster so the lesser/shorter you wear, the more money you will pay for extra clothes which reveals your sex appeal for beauty conscious ladies which is the area whereby businessmen profit from.

If you are a parent, learn to look out for signs to communicate with your children else if you don’t know what to do nor share with them, get them to read my blog else wait for my eBook. Help me with comments, so I can reveal more strategies that businessmen profit at the expense of us, the average people on a Just over broke (JOB) situation

Remember what values and culture do you want your children to grow up in? Think about it. I hope you found and realize something which you didn’t’. Comments are greatly appreciated. Thank You.
