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.

Growth is a process, it is a constant.

Previously, I mention about growth in general, today, I will write about growth as a development but towards survival instincts. More about the live or die context. The survival of the fittest!

While every living organism is trying their best to growth brilliantly, showcasing the best of their abilities progressing forward, we man in particular humans are regressing and it is a process which is undesirable.

Living organism, bacteria, plants, animals, reptiles are progressing and moving forward, evolving and changing for the better but man on the other hand is growing but wilting as we grow due to negative competition.

In documentary shows, nature is like a piece of profound art that is so beautiful that words cannot describe it with sight and seeing it for ourselves. The beauty which leads to such natural beauty in the wild, be it on the mountains, forest, jungle, lake, sea or deep blue ocean, it is all done naturally, without human intervention, thus the competition if beautiful as they are there show-casting their beauty  due to their own unique survival instincts be it animals, flowers, marine animals etc.

Among the crowd of natural living organisms, there will definitely be one standing out from the rest of the peers, and that one is the strongest, having grown the best, beautiful elegant in the case of flowers. In the ocean, it is all about surviving and finding food to either grow and become a predator or become a pray to other stronger predators. Earning the rights to be the strongest that alone is a beauty.

Man who has since conquered all elements is regressing in a way that there are tons of negative and unhealthy competitions. People, business, countries, and even nations form alliances just to fight for a piece of meat, making ourselves look so miserable, ugly behaviors so to speak. Instead of fighting among ourselves, we should help one another.

Nature is so beautiful because they wild life, animals, plants, insects, reptiles, birds, and marine animals understand and acknowledge one simple yet complex fact.

That is the world is big enough to accommodate everybody, we are interdependent on each other for survival, it is a big wide food chain that they know which they relay on each other.  Predators pray only when needed, thus in documentary shows, prays are also often video recorded to help their enemies to clean their teeth, and this is most often seen in marine fishes plus birds helping crocodiles to clean their teeth for hygiene purpose.

Man on the other hand are selfish beings so to speak, reducing the living space of wild life at their expense of extinction for our own benefit limiting their space and greatly affecting their chances of survival. Business owners, politicians’ nation wide, all fight for power, influence to restrain one another from being dominant and beyond control. All these are carried out at the expense of taking the food, resources which we should be sharing with other people, wild life, environment and nature to achieve a environmental balance.

To be the leader and earn the respect of groups from other food chain, it is to emerge the strongest in a fair fight without additional help or shortcut, that is why nature is always the elusive beauty secrets that no matter how much money has being put into duplicating a same thing, it will never ever be comparable to the real deal.

Likewise to be a leader of the pack, leading people, and countries, not only do we need to help our own people in our own country first, we also need to extend the help to other people from other countries and at the same time winning them over through ethical legal and fair competition without restricting any of the competitors. That is how we man should compete, but unfortunately, it isn’t always this way.

Man has trample on the weak and build corpse as their stairs in attempt to climb the uphill task of social ladder at the expense of many innocent people in the process. No nations to date in modern times has yet to attain this style of high level respect in leadership status which commands the respect of no only your followers but also the respect from your competitors.

Except for the fact in the past, this has being achieved, only in China, the story of the Three Kingdoms, and one other unique person which lives much closer to us, and that person is none other than Bruce Lee. Respect is not earned by force but by sincerity and the true intention.

Growth is a constant which we experience everyday and every second.

It refers to an increase in quantity over time which can be physical or abstract. It is the gradual increase and the act of process.

Man, animals insects and living organisms are growing every second and growing positively, but why are there so many people who seek growth negatively?

With growth, comes wealth, following closely behind will be success and power. We grow up wiser and smarter with time and it is a gradual process.

Are people really growing positively or negatively?

Wealthy and successful people are doing it correctly but the poor are totally learning, embracing teachings, education which is completely wrong thus the negative growth into debts, problems, and requesting for help and assistance.

Look at those who are educating the poor, people should learn from their elders, follow what they are doing and not doing what they are telling.

Elders refer to the government, politicians, even terrorists who are guiding and telling their followers what to do. They are getting rich (but not wealthy and successful), so to get rich, we need to do what they are doing, instead of doing things which they tell us to do, which are things that they are not doing it themselves.

If you want to get rich, copy what the rich is doing, do not do what they are not doing. It is a simple recipe to duplicate success.  If you want to be wealthy and successful, get a mentor and proper coaching who can guide you in the right direction. If you find a wrong coach, you are screwed!

We all need to grow and constantly improve, not to make ourselves in worse situation. Make sure you learn from the right people.

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.

In life, everything we do, we want a bigger share of the slice, be it business, relationship, food, home or assets, we never fail to desire and seek for bigger and better items to indulge ourselves in especially luxury and pleasure and holidays traveling.

Big is important, the bigger items and assets you possess, the bigger you influence will have on other businesses. Being successful with results will attract more talents below you, wanting to learn the steps from you.

With more influential power, the ability to influence and the words creating stir among people, when this phenomenon happens, you will soon be on your way to be a outstanding person commanding respect, fellowship of seekers wanting to be kept under your wings.

Big are not rocket science, but a gradual genetic thirst and intense urge of desire to increase our share in whatever we do. This happens even in the cat family, tigers, lions, leopard and jugular and among the reptiles. The bigger they grow, the larger stomach they have, the increase of volume in food or prey they target.

Growing bigger is a natural progression, if you don’t seek to improve your standards of living and lifestyle, denying yourself, your body and your genes of the natural instincts to grow and get stronger, you of course will get weaker as each day pass, and be consumed by other larger animals.

Big is beautiful. It happens in both genders.

Females seek beauty in terms of both physically, and deeper wallet size to allow them to spend happily swiping the credit cards on a shopping spree thus ladies will naturally without fail look up to a man who can provide financially for the ladies. Even if there’s no love, the lady will still stick to the man who’s the provider. This again is inside the genes, since apes gradually evolve into barbarians than to modern man today.

Males without say look for materialistic gains but by being practical and doing it within their ability in terms of assets, wealth, influential power, commanding respect from people, get acknowledgment from even their competitors.  Respect comes not from being able to earn money, but is built when they are entrusted with secrets that ties to reputation and they will not try to oust out a fellow competitor via underhand tricks such as accusations, piracy etc.

Look at Tiger Woods incident, the sex addiction scandal was not at all surprise among the golf professionals in the inner circle of the golf association, in fact other golf professionals even helped Tiger to cover up for his personal life matters. Personal and business issues will never ever be mixed together, that’s one rule of alpha males, an unspoken rule binding all successful professionals together.

There were news articles reports which mention about this, and also on reports that the ladies regretted not listen to the advice to remain silence in return for money benefits and choose to reveal it to the media. Why the regrets, read newspapers to find out more, I know it, because I’ve read that book which told me all about the unspoken rules of alpha males which was meant for ladies, but I borrowed it to read and gain unlimited wisdom and in-depth understanding.

The reason why businessmen never fails to be a sore topic among ladies claiming for equality is already written all over different books, but they just don’t spread out, thus when men see such things, they are often ignored. The unspoken language of the successful wealthy businessmen, to be like them, if ladies can’t beat them, why not join them but first thing first, there are lots of steps to take to be able to join the bandwagon.

The core reason why people always say businessmen and not businesswomen is solely because it’s a fact that alpha males rule the world, not the government, the holder of wealth calls the shot. To win the game, you first have to learn the rules of the game. Not learning yet playing will only result in unfavorable results working against you.

Alpha male value honor and integrity while beta males, alpha females and females will just take it with a pinch of salt and do steps that sabotage and ruin their own future without anybody doing anything.

Learn the rules of the game, if you don’t be prepared to be left behind and you will not even notice who speed up the process even if the compliance and person who wants to get rid of you are standing in front of you.

To survive, learn the rules and stick to it or you will be axed in an instant without knowing who and why.
