As for recreation activities, it is a test of mind, body and soul whereby it engages the participant to think and relax in the process.

Making money is fun especially in business, because when more money is made, happiness is shared and more recreation will be opened up to us with more financial abilities.

Learn to enjoy and have fun and make a lot more money in the process and make everyone happy.

Language is a system of study for both encoding and decoding of information as communication process.

There are many different variations of languages, from pictorial diagrams, to words, calligraphy, verbal, visual, body and even natural weather predictions and even the use of symbols in some instances.

Man has multiple systems for information processes such as facial, visual, verbal, hearing, body and emotional communication plus breathing rhythm if in close body contact.

Animals on the other hand especially in the marine life have an extensive communication channel which is a common language in different species. It is similar to man having a common language such as English across the globe. Having watched “Water Colours Part 2 of 3”, with a new knowledge of how colour works.

While fishes cannot talk, they compensate it for their brilliant variety of colours. The colour as a language of communication is the same among all the reef animals in particular those animals that does cleaning.  The colourful display of colours and the ability to change colours is how marine animals in particular those living near the coral reefs and sea bed communicate with one another, colours is the language, used by shrimps, fishes, octopus, squids and rays.

Different body parts of colours serves different purposes, either for survival, sex or to allow other cleaners to clean off parasites from their body. Changing of colours represents the appreciation the cleaning services, and for acceptance of partner for the opposite sex during the mating season for fishes.

Colour changes also happens when the fishes are growing up, having completely different colour and body shape so as to remain completely different from the adult fishes to reduce the association and competition thus increasing their chances of survival living next to the adult fishes.

Man also communicates, but unlike the marine animals, we express ourselves more through body language and via sound. While we cannot change our colour, our body also grows more developed as we grow into adulthood, having either more muscular body for  or more curves which increases the sex appeal and attraction from the opposite gender.

Master the art of understanding language, the system of communication via different means so as to increase your chances of survival and to grow up stronger without putting yourself at risk as you grow.

Reduce risk and increase your odds of survival by mastering the language in different variations not limited to only speech.

Pets are animals which are kept by man for companionship. There are different kinds of animals being kept all over the world depending on the law of respective countries.

In Singapore, pets are limited to non-endangered or life threatening pets; example sharks and snakes are prohibited pets. The locals these days no longer treat and view pets like they do in the past.

Previously, dogs were bought for the intention of guarding a home, which has slowly being replaced by security devices and dogs have since lost its purpose and dog owners are increasing getting owned by the dogs rather than they own the dogs.

Look around the neighbourhood and observe those people who walk their dogs, some clean up their dog’s ass and use the tissue to wipe it, while others use the shopping cart which housewives used to push the pet dogs around instead of them walking.

The other thing is when pet owners walk their pet dogs, some owners will actually be lead by the pet dogs themselves and let the dogs lead the owner and that speaks one point, people are increasing getting used to be lead without the ability to lead and take charge of their own lives.

Rearing and breeding pets should be kept for companion purpose but not to keep them allowing them to climb over the owner’s head controlling the owners instead.

Choosing the right people to work with is important in business, so if you don’t know what you are looking for in a partner, start off by looking and observe how pet owners take their dogs out for a walk, it will give you a clearer picture of what you want and what you do not want. It will not give you all the criteria for choosing a partner, but at least it starts you off with some basic factors to look at.

It is about exercising your control and rights.

Steel is made up of Iron and Copper, with different treatments; it translates to different toughness of steel depending on the purpose it is manufactured for.

It has many properties and benefits and most importantly it is recyclable, flexible enough to be made into anything, from cars, to bridges, buildings vessels air planes, all requires steel. Without the invention and mass application of steel into daily lives, it will not be possible to even talk about profits and wealth.

Having watched documentary which talked about steel thus the topic for today, are you tough enough like the steel? Do you have what it takes to have balls of steel?

In business, entrepreneurship, it’s all about profits, money, wealth and flexibility. In manufacturing business, it is all about the steel first which allows countries to prosper, war to be made safer with the use of high grade steel in armored vehicles. It is used in the core frame of our daily lives.

Earth is running out of steel, and has estimated of only twenty-seven billion tons of steel left thus recycling of steel started eighty years ago due to shortage of steel. With the shortage of steel, manufactures are taking substitutes and mining the components out to made steel from hematite as a substitution.

Like wise in business, if we want to profit, we must learn to be like the steel, with so many properties and benefits of the steel, suitable for all types of use, under the process of heat treatment, water cooling, heating again, tampering followed by welding to form into different grades of steel.

If we want to profit and be wealthy, we need to learn to bend it like steel, the properties of steel under the processing treatment, use strategies and reuse skills which can be applied to any business, platform to increase profits. To have the balls of steel, we first need to have guts to choose our own path, stick it out till we make it there.

Ask yourself what is your passion, what choices do you have, what skills do you currently possess, and what additional skills do you seek to learn and apply?

For entrepreneurship to take place, flexibility is crucial, embracing change and keeping up with times is important, but sticking to the basics and your true talents is the best choice and decision you will ever make.

The lifestyle you will lead depends only and solely on the type of employment you are in, the passion which you have in your heart. If you are unhappy with your employment, have no passion for anything, than it’s time for a change, if you want to, else remain happy and be contented to have a stable employment with fixed income.

Just do what you like, but ask yourself if that’s really and truly the life you desire.  It is better to die trying than to die regretting.

Relationship is an association of two or more people which is based on different purpose and bonding. It may be based on for business interactions, social commitments, interpersonal or intimate relationship.

Different purpose of relationship requires different methods of handling, and understanding how it works is the key to solving the root of the problems should it surface.

The root and basics of relationship management is to look at the difference between how a man and a woman handle relationship.

There is a common saying “Men can forget but they cannot forgive. Women can forgive but they cannot forget.”

During a courtship, there is both positive and negative behavior which we can learn from relationship. Relationship management is just like a business and it requires time, effort, commitment and collaboration from both parties to work.

In the process of the courtship, it is sweet, once the courtship is over and grow into a relationship before it evolve into a either a break-up or marriage followed by everlasting love if not separation followed by divorce.

The spectrum of transition of relationship is all about business transaction these days due to the change in culture and influences. Romance; love; commitment; responsibility; accountability ; management; operations; protection; expansion.  It is all about the cycle before it duplicates itself or it dies off.

Romance is sweet like an appetizer, a small dish to stimulate a desire for more.  It can be of in all flavors depending on the person’s character and personality. It is the selection of which appetizer is suitable for you like choosing a partner.

Once you take your pick, you start to taste it, the taste lingers in your mouth, either your taste buds accept it if not reject it. If you accept it, it starts to go inside, making you hungry wanting more increasing your appetite. It is the courtship whereby you want to consume it, but it just does not want you to know what the next dish is. With anticipation, the desire grows, like in a courtship, from hands to shoulders to waist, hips, kissing and other intimate actions translating romance into love.

Love is when you start to have the taste of the dish, and you ask for more, wanting the next dish to be served fast. Short light kiss becomes French-kissing and it proceeds further with hands into the picture. Like you start off with different breads, applying either butter or jam just simply hands and or with just a butter knife. As you progress, you start using tools to consume more and the tools get more, which is when intimacy increases and clothes start dropping piece by piece.

Commitment is when the main course get served, finally you see the dish in front of you, salivating, starts drooling and you can’t wait to consume the main dish. It is whereby clothes are completely removed; all you see in front of you is the naked body. Alluring, sexy with a sense of curiosity of how it will be like.

With a slice of cut on the meat, you put it into your mouth, its equivalent to making a commitment, a promise to your partner that you will stay by his/her side. Soon as you consume the main dish, you start to fell the slight fullness in your stomach. As foreplay moved into intercourse, the promise is made and commitment sets in.

Having finished the main course, the rest of the course can be predicted, with the delicious dish already served, whatever dish coming up next is just lighter in flavor then the main course which was just finished. Like after the intercourse, ejaculation sets in, satisfaction in both parties. The customer decides to stay till the end of the course, while the cook is happy that the customer enjoyed the main course.

With that, responsibility takes places. You will start discussing how nice the dish was previously, and perhaps next time your choice of dishes if you were to come back again. Similarly like how ladies like to hug their partners after it, lying on their partner’s chest or in the arms, looking into the eyes, smiling happily, chatting about the feelings during the intimate physical contact.

Accountability sets in soon after, like the dessert that’s coming up next, it can be of either hot or cold dessert to tantalize your taste buds usually ending with sweet desserts so the customer will come back for more. Like a happy couple resting in the comfort of each other, either one waking up slightly earlier to prepare breakfast for the other partner, leaving sweet memories and closing the chapter leaving wonderful and pleasant memories, allowing the couple to make plans for marriage.

Management is the bills of the whole set breakfast/lunch/dinner. Settling the bills, checking if the bill is right for any overcharging like a couple in bliss, planning for the next session with budgeting involved now.

Budgeting includes the promise and if the partner is responsible for his/her actions before a second and three set meal can be consumed together. Discussed wisely, the budget only gets sweet and larger with more commitments and responsibilities like choice of restaurant, if want to upgrade to a higher class restaurant paying for the service and ambiance similarly to discussion of settling down for a family.

Operations is how the restaurant runs the after sales service, the methods which they will offer to give you reasons to patronize the restaurant or their service again. It is when the partner shows his/her attention, care and concern for each other to make it work and have the relationship running smoothly without any food scraps getting stuck in between the teeth.

Protection is whereby restaurants come up with new dishes, promotions to attract and retain their valued customers. This is when business rivals surface allowing the customers to chance to taste other recipes and dishes. This will be when partners come up with new tricks such as new image, choice of clothes, some teasing, and new positions and change of environment to entice their own partners to stay faithful and loyal to each other.

Expansion is when the business is doing well; restaurant owner decides to open another outlet via franchise model duplicating their success. It is whereby both partners planting and wants seeds to be planted in the farmlands. For males, it’s to get the female pregnant, for females, it is to get married and the cycle continues, this time on the baby inside the womb.

Transactions are happening everyday, every second, how you run the business and how much you profit depends on you and nobody else. Learn management skills, it is the skill that is applicable to anything and everything.

Have a profitable business and a happy marriage. =)

Fellowship is the friendly companionship between friends, family and people and members in the same company, corporation or guild. It is the association of people having similar taste and interest who has form a group together.

It can also be based on a foundation for having awards and benefits for being in a corporation or guild working towards a common goal or purpose hand in hand together with helping one another.

There are two types of fellowship; one is purely for profits (money); the other one is for friendship and association and membership of a exclusive group.

Fellowship for money happens and forms when a group of like-minded people bond together, working hard to earn more money in the shortest period of time possible to satisfy their desire and needs thus they resort to fast quick methods etc which only makes them more busy without the time to enjoy their new hard earned money. Have money but no time to spend the money.

Fellowship for friendship is the one which everyone should be looking for. It is the building of alliance of respective individuals each with their entrepreneur business ideas working their own ways. In time to come, when individuals succeed, they who know each other previously and have help support one another in need, will become a force to be reckon with, building wealth, assets and lots of time to spare.

That is the secret to wealth and success, seek to form an alliance of like minded individuals, and encourage one another, so when companies are erected with each successful individuals, there’s more benefits to working together with trust that’s already built, and less time spend on unnecessary selling and negotiation about the details. Trust is the way and how things work. Abuse it once, and kiss goodbye to it forever.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, read up this book on Starbucks, “Pour Your Heart Into It – How STARBUCKS Built A Company One Cup at a Time” by Howard Schultz and Dori Jones Yang.

Inside the book, it focus on getting to associate and know the right people to expand the business, some of which are partners whom they worked with together in the past.

Ask yourself what’s your passion, find and join a exclusive membership of an association of individuals each with their own vision but at the same time encouraging one another towards success.

The wealthy and successful people gets more wealth together with more time to spare while the poor gets more work load with less time to spare and it means to get busy and not time to spend the money he/she earn.

Do you want to be have both time and money (wealth) or do you want to have money but not time?

Pick either one of the above and work hard. Make the right choice, and choose a right mentor who can help you to succeed yet allowing you more time to increase your wealth by building more sources of income with one time effort, multiple times of profits.

Association is an organization of people or plants with common purpose together under uniform environmental conditions working towards the same goal or objective. It is the alliance, an union of company, a force not to be reckon with when it forms together.

Animals associate themselves with fellow animals as well to help clean themselves especially in the ocean, sea and lakes. Sharks have small fishes swimming together helping themselves with the parasites on the skin of the sharks, whales have shell like organisms living on their body, while crocodiles have birds to help them with teeth cleaning.

Gangsters form together because each on their own, are people without the ability to complete any task on their own thus they form a gang, to bully the weak, get things done their way and fearing the powerful people with stronger backing example the police.

Aunties form together in markets to gossip in morning market session for breakfast before going to the wet market to buy food. In a group of aunties, they can get more discounts saving more money.

Smokers and drinkers are associated together and always seen around one another because they cannot miss out the company or one another enjoying the company.

Wealthy successful businessmen hang around together playing golf, closing business deals and helping one another earn more people.

Poor people are poor because they associate themselves with the wrong people. Rich successful businessmen associate themselves with even more successful people to help each other profit in different areas.

Whatever you seek and dream to be, you need to get associated with the right people who will help you build your dreams, visions and goals and other business ventures.

Make the right choice and do the right thing. Walk a path and associate with wealth builders and not demolisher who are money suckers and spendthrifts.

Use is to employ for some purpose, to take unfair advantage of, to exploit people, animals for their personal gains and benefits.

It is a word for people who are witty but not intelligent who employ such tactics on people who are not as witty as them. Boss will only use employees for their own benefits. Giving employees a market rate pay and keeping most of the advantages to themselves thus there is unjustified

Employers will only exploit employees who are willing parties to overwork and get paid a small sum. In the corporate sector, benchmarking is a bad practice for us the ordinary people for people like you and me to ‘think’ that it is right for us to be paid so a tiny fraction for working so hard. There’s no right and wrong, there is just do you think you deserve to earn more and much more than the others?

If employers are exploiting employees, but only when employees are willing to be exploited and sign by the contract, than it’s a willing party and no blaming should take place at all.

In the world of poor people with poor mentality, it’s more of a dog eat dog society, fighting for the same piece of meat, that’s the world of society from people who are near millionaire but not yet to people who are extremely poor and really is hard up for money to meet daily three meal problems.

In the world of wealthy and successful businessmen filled with billionaires, multi-millionaires and millionaires, it’s like the lions, tigers, cheetahs, jugulars and leopards helping their own species to grow and share food together which makes them king of their own territory.

By working together, growing stronger together is better than cutting and slaughtering each other, growing up weak with lots of scars and flaws so visible to on-lookers.

You are what you think.

It is often said “You reap what you sow” which is wrong. This phrase only applies to people who are being exploited like how farmers exploit cows, bulls for farming etc which is silly and dumb getting satisfied for peanuts.

You should carve this into your mind “You reap much more than what you sow” which is what employers are doing, to have a equal chance of opportunity to get wealthy and successful.

Throw away the wrong education and knowledge which brain-wash us to work like a slave getting peanuts. Put on your thinking cap from now onwards and start to think on how you can reap much more than what you sow to succeed.

If you want to know how to reap much more than what you sow, I have just what you’re looking for, all you need to do is to contact me.

Good luck and build wealth.

Perseverance is continuance persistence in a course of action, a purpose in spite of difficulties and obstacles.

Obstacles are there and in everywhere for a reason, each and every obstacles and set-back you encounter at work, business or entrepreneurship process is a tell tale sign that people have stopped at this step, and given up. When people give up, it creates a problem for the others who are in the line, the person who removes the obstacles will have a smooth route to walk instead of just walking over, the jungle trail with small rocks which might cause you your life in times of danger when you’re chased by a wild hungry beast. A small stone is all that it takes to make you trip over and be devoured by the hungry beast.

The person who picks up the obstacles, understand it, learn how the problem started, find a remedy, than move on, help make the route smoother not only for yourself, but for the others taking the same trail you have once walked on.

Perseverance is good, but again in the minds of people who are poor, they only complicate and don’t really find nor ask about the real essence of the word and just use it without understanding it thus they are having problems struggling with bringing the bread and butter back home.

There are two versions to every single word in different people’s mind. Positive or negative, similar if not identical to the angel or devil; god or demon, it all holds the same meaning, with slight difference in understanding the idea of the single word leads to different course of actions and results.

Positive perseverance is to work hard despite people throwing wet blanket, splashing cold water on you when you know you’re doing the right thing, which others have yet to proof it. Be the first person to prove you’re right, than others will agree with you, money, wealth and success will follow and haunt you chasing after you.

Negative perseverance is to work hard despite you already know that what result you will be getting, and the result will never ever change regardless of how hard you work in an employment. There is a limit to everything the day you are in an employee quadrant. You get the same pay, even if you get a pay rise, your pay will be similar to the previous person, and you can’t set your own pay limit.

If you seek to improve and increase your success, wealth, learn to take risk and enjoy the rough ride of a lifetime. Once you master the skill, it will be yours forever, thus the wealthy get wealthier, it’s all about duplication. Look at fast food restaurants, hotel chains, property business owners, what did they do?

All they did is to master a skill which is tested proven to work and profit, repeating it again and again while increasing the scale of the project to increase profits and have more wealth flowing towards them. Businessmen are successful too in their way because they continue to build bigger better enterprise with the knowledge of what works and what don’t. It is as simple as it looks, but it is a mastery of skills and the art of perfection that is not simple and takes years of hardwork.

Whenever a problem pops out, solve it, stay positive, and make sure you ask if in doubt, to capture and understand the true definition to a word which you may have misinterpreted it already leading you to failure. Ask until you understand the word and know how to look at it from different perspective without clouding your mind with negativity. Convert any and every negative into positive and you will be positive, armed and equipped with positive mindset, perseverance will show you the route to success one day.

“Let the positive prevail by being positively persistent.” – Donald J.Trump

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.
