The Difficulty of Managing People

posted by ryan

People Management Image

Having worked in the company for nearly 6 weeks after tomorrow, some how I am starting to learn and appreciate the difficulty of managing people, and getting them to work as what they are being told to.

Telling people instructions is simple, but enforcing and ensuring that tasks are being executed is another thing.

As I gradually starting to get used to real adult working life as a employee, observing my colleagues and superiors on the way they handle people, how they approach tasks and get the message across is another thing.

It takes a lot of work to learn to handle different people, and talk to them, ask them to get the work done based on the style they like it, and not the style others wants them to work, is what I really noticed.

Employees don’t change, but as senior employees, sometimes they will change, I was lucky to have another colleague who’s more senior than my superior and has her ways of handling everybody else within the company. Observing and communicating with her helps in many ways.

First, I get my questions answered.

Second, she helps explain her personal humble perspective, as well as what the company perspective.

Third, seeking her help is somehow different from other colleagues and even superiors from all my past employments. Her approach of bringing forward a subject is soft, yet firm without putting the other person on the offensive side, with a slight feeling of joking manner. The first person that i actually learn on how to better communicate with people in future.

There’s actually a argument in the office this morning, between a full-timer and a part-timer, and the best part is, both of these two guys approach that senior colleague (not age, but her experience staying with the company)  didn’t not managed to put out the fire over disputes of using computers as their work are being stopped without the use of particular computer with the specific software inside.

When my superior walked in, he went straight to his office but came out when their argument was heating up with increasingly louder voice and told both of the guys off, and successfully put out the flames. I don’t know what happened if any solution was being found or did both compromise by sharing computer..but ya..

If I didn’t remember wrongly the phrase should be something like “I don’t know what’s happening… but if you both want to quarrel, go outside the office to quarrel” in a firm voice and walk off back to his office, than the quarrel stopped and magically there was peace.

That argument thought gave me a valuable lesson, in times like such, just remind them their position and that they are actually working than they will automatically snap out of the mess.

The other thing about managing people is handling new employees like me being new, my superior did something similar like my previous employer by letting me have a free hand at doing things the way I like it..but after the first month, when results are not up to expectations, than comes the communication to talk about the issue and priority from the company’s perspective in delivering results.

It is only after frequent exchange in understanding from the business perspective that I made adjustments of standard internet marketing steps and procedures to bend to the business needs in getting the job done so that the business, my superior and me gets what we want ultimately.

With my superior representing the company’s investors as well as himself as a superior, open discussion without the face to face confrontation sitting arrangement, sidewards helps a long, that is helpful and good planning in keeping the company office conference room small, thus reducing the possibility of face to face which automatically puts individual’s defensive barrier up.

There’s still a long way to go, and I’m continuously learning and absorbing anything and everything that i can learn. Had it not for my pre-conditioned entrepreneurial mindset via banging into the wall multiple times, and being cheated, mislead into scams, conversions and verbal agreement, i would not be the person I am today to learn and capture small little details into my mind instantly.  Paying tuition fee does helps, but it will only help you when you feel the pain and want to prevent it from happening ever again.

The key skill to success is actually not wealth management but people management. Money can buy nearly everything, but not the trust, mutual respect that ought to be earned, that’s why only the top Forbes business owners managed to grow the business as well as giving employees sufficient room to move around without feeling restrained with red tapes.

Failure is the mother of all success

posted by ryan

Failure Picture

There is a common saying, failure is the mother of all success.

While many people claim that they know they what failure means, but from the action, and response, it is clear that majority of the individuals do not even know the what the real definition of failure means.

To succeed and win in places where majority of all others have failed, there are a couple of reasons why we all must learn first learn to fail before we succeed.

In business, it is always a route of hardship and it is never easy. Should a individual or business entity always have a smooth journey towards the top, when he/she is faced with a obstacle, than will they understand why it is best to first learn how to fail before winning.

Reason being so is primarily because once the person at the top loses the top position, they will drop all the way downwards to the rock bottom, with no chance of survival. The person or entity at the second position who just took over the first spot, will utilize their own network and connection to block every single opportunity to block a fallen champion from reviving and take back their former glory.

Just look at Tiger Woods, the moment he dropped from his number one spot, to fifth, twentieth position and finally twenty-fifth world ranking than lost his own aura, the fear that most golfers would respect him has literally vanish into thin air. The respect that most golfers had of him gone down the drain, as he is still trying to correct his own swinging style to make improvements and get more birdies, eagle if not hole-in-one hopefully.

While the respect, aura of fear has vanish, the public and the crowd are still following Tiger Woods, as he still possess much more media attention than the other newly crown champions.

From the wife chasing after Woods causing him to get into a car accident, to sex scandals, to knee injuries, all bad times happening one after another, thus causing him to lose momentum, focus and old injury made matter worse..

While most can be prevented, by learning from history, but arrogance has led to his very downfall, and now he is learning to pick up the pieces and learn to be a better man by paying for the consequences in financial compensation to impose a gag order on his wife, his ex sexual partners from talking about it.

This is something that many of us can learn from, is to first fail many times, before we rise all the way to the top, so as not to allow such an incident from happening.

While we still do not know what is the future for Woods himself, all that we can hope for is that he had better find back the old shelf, with the good swing, and learn how to be a better man. It is only that after he apologize, and admit his mistakes, that the crowd is still willing to follow him, giving him a second chance.

Failure is not scary, in fact it is a must go-through experience, only which will it make us a better person. Success is scary, as it creates the illusion of everything is going smoothly, so there’s no contingency plans made, thus it is a long way back up to the top, taking a long time to climb back up.

To win, and attain success, fail first, and fail faster than all other competitors, so in the event competitors fail, we who have already failed, know how to do damage control, minimize the loss to the lowest, and emerge as the winner, just like how the Singapore economy was able to remain competitive and have a stronger currency value and positive outlook when the USA, Europe financial markets are in turmoil.

Thanks to our cabinet ministers and their rich experience of past hardships, experience, and most importantly, learning from history, than are we Singapore able to withstand what many other economies globally are unable to. That is success, and it should be celebrated, but celebrate it in a positive way to serve as a reminder for others not to repeat the same mistakes twice.

In short, to succeed, first you fail. Next if you fail again, learn from your own experience as well as your competitors’ failure and find out why it happened, and turn them into you experience. Next study what causes global failure regarding whatever markets that are connected to our sources of income and come up with back up plans to protect it from the incoming risk.

That should be the reason why failure will only lead us towards success, and not to repeat history to fail again twice in the same area.

Threats

posted by ryan

Threats Poster Image

Threats is an act of pressuring to elicit a negative response towards something in a form of loss over something during the process. It is also an expression of intent to inflict pain or damage in anyway possible.

It is a act that may work from time to time and depending on situations, but in most cases, it does not work in majority of the situations especially if used on strong opponents and people who are giving and supporting them to whatever status and authority they may be holding as representative of the people or the country.

Following are a few examples that the have either appeared in news papers if not on global news reports over threats from political and country of super-power.

First up is Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Raza who have threaten the local Malaysian Chinese voters to vote not to vote against the local Malaysia Party in order not to be in a situation where their Chinese interests are not looked after. A threat to the Chinese Population in Malaysia that holds around twenty-plus percent of the population. But that has pretty much being ignored, based on my personal point of view.

Just looking back at the number of successful Chinese Malaysian in Malaysia, and the answer is obvious. Compare it against those Chinese Malaysians who gain popularity and success by becoming a singer and selling their albums in Singapore, Taiwan showing that little effort has being done to help the Malaysian Chinese community.

Next up is most recent, with Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew warning the Singaporean voters not to work for the opposition or they may have to spend the next five years to repent on their actions. Apparently, it seems from the election results, the warning fell on deaf ears. Following which was primarily due to the lack of engagement with the ground level citizens who are casting their votes.That may have sparked a resentment against the dominant political party namely PAP causing its defeat in the first ever GRC loss over Aljunied. News articles reports said it’s also partially due to their arrogance.

Actually, the party has already acknowledge their own problems but are just in their own denial to admit their mistakes, only following in the mid-process of election than to apologize, a step too late. Had it not for the consistent strong candidates recruited by Workers Party with proven track record, the People’s Action Party (PAP) might have a simple win, but since problems still remain, it is up to the voters to give the opposition a chance to prove their worth.

Which clearly reflects on the election results. With a complete wipe out of opposition except for Workers Party, it seems clear to us based on statistics that is gradually losing their votes count to the oppositions from past high vote percentage of over seventy percent to most recent election of only sixty plus percent.. That calls for a immediate soul-searching and reflection, which they did, but only it looks and seems clear, to be beautify the process only.

Much has to be seen on how the Workers Party proof their worth in five years time to determine if they retain, expand, or suffer deduction in Parliament seats.  Time will tell, for results will prevail.

This is similar if not identical to another example in the Formula One racing industry. Michael Schumacher, previous seven time world-champion has decided to retire for good, over reasons that it is now beyond his capabilities to win the race for the new young racers have upped their skills to which Michael Schumacher is unable to catch up to date. Such is a example of losing touch, and knowledge of the actual competitive segment.  People who have lost touch cannot find their way back in to basics after numerous at the top, retiring, having gotten comfortable with the high position.

Last but not the least is USA against China following the China race to arm itself stronger amidst the first ever operational aircraft carrier posting as a huge threat to USA dominance in power. As the threats previously given out from USA failed to work both on political and economical arenas, USA only than soften its approach and increase their priority in hold state discussions with China for cooperation and exchanging terms to each other in order to cash in on China’s growing affluent population to tap on their growing GDP.

USA only learn their lessons following the lost of Google when USA Politician Hillary Clinton stepping in demanding for transparent censorship law for their Google representing USA in China for fair competition that went on deaf ears. Learning on that lesson, it has no choice but to learn to accept China as the next growing super-power, for the host will reject any offender if they force their way in. Google along with USA learned it the hard way that they cannot demand for stuffs in ask China to bend the rules to USA advantage.

Actually there’s much to be learn from this incident, and it even dates back to many previous war periods which we can learn from. Before USA was considered a super-power, Japan, Greece, Romans, Germany, Russia all have once being in the shoes of being the dominant super-power country of their respective periods. Their own downfall was primarily due to arrogance, greed, refusal to accept change, over-estimating their abilities to apply same strategies on which ever countries they won via war victories that failed, when they failed to win the hearts of the locals. Thus giving room and growth opportunity to the next super power country that choose to take the leader position.

All of which comes to the respect, mutual benefits, room for growth, coordination and humility. Europe was once considered a super nation compromising of different continents before USA overtook their position. Learning from the lesson, Europe than learn to be humble and accept other races, religion and freedom, which is why there’s growth and excellence in the arts education, especially in Music, no colored lens towards people of different skin color, race nor religion, as opposed to USA which still practice such discrimination that is built in their culture and upbringing.

Even in Japan, during WWI & WWII, Japanese soldiers thought their own race and skin color was the best, even looking down on fellow yellow skin people in Asia, let alone those white skin race in other USA. Following their defeat in WWII with the help of two atomic bombs, they are than forced to acknowledge and accept that they are no in any way superior to any other countries, have limited and minimal military force as punishment for their brutality in both wars. Only which, they learn to be humble and accept all races and now able to hold their heads high as they work and fit in with the environment no matter how it changes and they will adapt accordingly, even if disasters strikes.

With every lost, comes the lesson to reflect and repent for their past actions, those will fail to reflect on their mistakes will only rot and wit away as others over take them when the time is ripe, opportunity cost is at their best and lowest casualty losses etc.

In a nut-shell, the next time you experience threats, just take it in your stride and move on. Only those who fail to capture the hearts of people winning the support will resort to such means to get the results they seek. Just be patient, wait for the right opportunity, and spot the weakness of your competitors and turn them into your strengths to emerge victorious. Only the weak will bow down to threats.

Resilience

posted by ryan

Resilience Picture

Resilience is simpler terms is to display a positive behavior adaptation to any upon encountering adversity, tragedy, threats and intense sense.

A display of global recognition and acknowledgment of resilience can be seen in Japan. It showcased and taught the world the importance of self-help and to the amazement of world whereby Japanese can still remain clam in such great magnitude of natural disasters that comes in a series of attacks. From a 8.9 magnitude of earthquake that triggers a tsunami causing greater damage adding to the death toll of many missing citizens in Japan. After which came the nuclear reactor explosion following the leakage of radio-active materials into the open sea.

Following is a video clip that featured Japanese helping one another in times of trouble, something that is first seen globally in times of distress.

Such a clip would not have been possible if not for the proper education of disaster training, rehearsal and the well-mannered culture of Japanese, helping one another in need.

On the other hand, when i looked looked and do up a search and similar natural disasters such as Christchurch, I happened to viewed a video that is kind of insensitive, http://www.nzherald.co.nz/christchurch-earthquake-videos/news/video.cfm?c_id=1503037&gal_cid=1503037&gallery_id=117784
featuring some people still playing in the disaster hit area instead of helping out. It’s so much reflects on the playfulness, laid back, relaxed culture of the nation, wanting to have the most fun out of which.

Japanese is the most well-taught people globally in terms of courtesy, manners, politeness etc, even number 1 nation USA is way behind in such education.

Singapore too is failing in the basic courtesy issues in the education sector, much different from the past whereby Singaporeans are helpful and chatty. The reasons that caused the dropped in Singaporeans speaking up, helping each other (neighbors) are probably due to the following reasons:

1. Fast pace developing city give little or no room for courtesy, manners upbringing having to cope with bilingual policy for competitive advantage

2. HDB Security policy of poor building designs, having neighbors doors literally facing each other, encourage us to close the doors permanently to avoid privacy being infringe despite government’s claim of it helping to reduce robberies, and other crimes.  Lets think it as another way, in the past, nearly every HDB door was opened (at least over 50% of the occupants open doors) in those old style 1 striaight line of HDB flats..while current designs are all C or U shape that encourage closed doors, so if doors are closed in nearly 95% of the HDB occupants, no eyes are visible to potential crimes. Having said that, sometimes, its better to stick to the old school, but being in a capitalist nation, it’s no longer possible, unless you have cash, yet govt are tearing down and rebuilding more C and U shape apartments that actually help improve crime rates from my own perspective (having lived in both old and new style HDB flat)

3. Government’s focus on financial growth over the basic principles of moral education in the past when I was growing up, where we were told to respect the elders, give way, give seats to elders or people who need it more than us..but these days..just one-look at how the primary, and secondary school education system, and the behaviors reflected by the students is freaking obvious. Immediate showing signs of ill-bred, uncouth kids who didn’t even know the basic respect, having to force them to obey the rules by punishment, which doesn’t solve the root of the problem, so to speak.

There are so much more lessons to which we can learn from Japan, both from their moral education, fast pace of economy power-house at least before the natural disasters took place that is.

It actually is easier to impart moral education from young with the right direction as reflected in the above video, than to teach grown up kids and adults moral education that seem useless and does not help in any way to grow their financial ability that is their main concern. But looking at the way education system is going..there’s nothing can be done..except for the “Fine” policies of Singapore to keep the rouge citizens from harming people, which is a waste of resources. Ignoring the basics, moral education has taken a impact on majority of the nations, not just Singapore alone.

The other thing to applause and salute Japanese is their selfless personality in general. Just when more and more nations are rejecting and closing her doors to Japanese food imports, Japanese themselves are showing their faith in their own food, so as to help reduce the strain on farmers in the nuclear radiation hit  zones by buying those food that’s considered at risk in other nations’ view.

There also have being new reports of shoppers purposely buying less amount of food so to allow other victims to buy food back home too, instead of what most people would do in disaster hit zones are to selfishly buy or even steal food for their own.

Such is a behavior that cannot be easily duplicated in any other countries due to the difference in education upbringing.

For businesses, it is a extremely important to learn and pick up lessons from Japan. If they can educate and impart such education to their employees, than the businesses will be saved when trouble strikes both the big and small companies, thus companies are still able to keep little sum of money from their own people’s support even if outsiders deny to trust them.

It is the key to determine the success or failure of any business.

Learning

posted by ryan

Learning is a process.

It is a continuous process. Once you stop learning, you put yourself at risk of being eliminated.

To avoid elimination, is to learn the survival skills and use it to the fullest and show coupled with wisdom, intellectual use of strategies to expand territory or niche and grow wealth.

It is the root of all success. It’s like a plant, without water, the plant will withered, and die off slowly and in a ugly state slowly rotting, decomposing into the soil as fertilizer for the others. Put this plant in a forest, and it becomes the nutrition for other plants, insects etc.

Just like the forest, or in the ocean, there is a ecosystem. Where everything, birth, growth and even death helps the ecosystem to live better and brighter with nothing but beauty.Even in the world of modern cilivlizations, it remains the same like anywhere else on earth. There’s an system and order on how we live.

While there’s an abundance of educational institutes both locally and globally, not many individuals will be able to utilize all the skills, knowledge taught to them in their lives. Having said that, how many Masters, Doctorates of different universities actually make it to become a Professor respected, and using the skills, knowldge for the good of man-kind in invention and research of better medicine, cure for illnesses etc. Not many to be precise.

But I can say that much of what is required for basic living, the skills needed for survival is simply what’s taught in elementary schools and colleges. Anything beyond that are considered bonuses.

To live, survive and grow out wealth, we only need to learn what’s needed to bring in money, that means the ability to sell and market products and services, growing a business. Bringing food to the table and supporting a family. It is a rather simple idea, while many choose not to learn the art of selling and marketing, they themselves are denying themselves of money and potential wealth that comes only after they have mastered the basics of selling and differentiating it from marketing.

Selling is the process, a transaction made over an exchange of product, service in exchange for money.

Marketing on the other hand is to offer value, benefits for instant, and future growth. Both directly and indirectly contributing to more money income which means wealth.

Wealth is money that grows over time despite factoring in inflation. Money is simply a note that depreciates with time and has no actual value as it is at risk of inflation, dependent on external economic factors and country’s bank, gold reserves.

While we all start learning, how many people out there really understand why do they need to learn, get educated? No many even asked, yet just go through the motion, in short copying what the seniors/elders taught them. As it is a genetic trait of all living beings, from organisms, to plants, insects, animals inclusive of hunans.

But with our advanced, developed brain, not much have being put to proper use. Most are still very much the same like the apes in the jungle or forest, learning how to survive, bring food back to the family, working to own a property for shelter and give birth to off-springs that’s considered an natural ecosystem.

While only those who seek wealth, actually utilize their brains and put it to good use. Learning what grows wealth, build on success, portfoilos, to diplomatically increase their assets (territory) both locally and globally. Without copying apes, to fight it out in the jungle for food and space, by offering mutually beneficial agreements and exchange thus growing without limits.

That’s what learning should be about, and not like the ordinary education system, teaching man to be employees. I can’t help but wonder as I watch more documentaries. Why do we even need to study all the way up to universities these days when all it can provide us with is a job that brings in money.

Yet money is what every one can start earning the moment they know how to trade their services for money as young as 5 years old to 15yrs old depending on different countries acceptance to entrepreneurship.

Are apes smarter, with only un-developed brain who are our grand ancestors, what we are doing now, study, work and die is just the same like apes. So who’s smarter? Why get into debts just to be employees trapped in a rats’ race?

Only those who understand, learned and master the art of sales and marketing knows how to utilize the brain to grow wealth and help other man-kind to improve their living conditions.

Employment is an excellent way of learning the ropes of business, the only way out for success. Learn, observe and ask, build diplomatic ties, relationships and don’t burn your bridges by being nasty to your colleagues to lay a good future ahead. Yet not many realized that entrepreneurship starts from employment and individuals must have a clear understanding of what they must learn, what should be learn to improve the business, before leaving to start their own business elsewhere without poaching your mentor’s clients to allow oneself to grow up stronger with respect from their peers.

In a nut-shell, it is to learn to respect the cycle of life, example of how important water is to all living beings. The same applies to food, for survival and learning to improve our living conditions, not to follow what’s already in place. Else what’s the point of education? Ain’t it meant to make us intelligent, yet many are getting stupider without putting on their thinking cap..

Repentance

posted by ryan

Repentance is the thought and action to correct a wrong and seek forgiveness from a person who is wronged. Often in religion, it is labeled as a sin and we look for ways to ask for forgiveness from the other party.

With different religious practice and belief, the way which religious believers ask for forgiveness also varies. At individual level, people ask for forgiveness directly from the person and are recommended and most effective and beneficial to individual mental and spiritual well being.

As for religious practice, there was a news article which talks about Pop Benedict XVI breaking the silence on child-sex abuse which was dismiss by victims who wants actions instead of remarks. While I was reading that news article, I remembered the informational show on Channel News Asia that showed how a Christian believer go on a holiday to walk and get a feel of what God went through in Israel the birth place of Jesus Christ and talked about how he was crucified.

The reason for crucified by the other religious leaders was partly due to the fact that he failed to respect other religions who did not at any point of time provoke him nor his religion at all and there he is going into a Muslim and Jewish religious nation and trying to spread his own belief and faith disrupting other people’s belief.

I’m not sure if it’s right or wrong, but one must be responsible for their personal mistakes which he did, and I respect him for that. Than going back to the news article, the phrase which states “must repent for sins and recognize mistakes” and when I think of the actual practice currently, it isn’t doing what they are saying. When a confession is made, believers were told that by welcoming God into their lives, their sins will be washed away and seek enlightenment.

I will agree partially as enlightenment that part, is same with all respective religion but when it comes to washing the sins away, that is neither practical nor realistic at all. Instead it is misleading people into thinking that they can continue to do bad things and yet ask for forgiveness, its identical to saying oh Law and Justice, I believe in law and will not commit the crime of robbing/kidnapping a person again, please pardon me of my wrong doings, don’t sentence me to jail please.

That to me sounds so wrong. What I understand of religion is whereby we should help one another, and not by expecting other people to carry the mistakes and be pardon without taking responsibility of our own actions. Perhaps it is precisely this misleading or misunderstanding of the true intention of God which caused the Pope sex scandal to keep on surfacing.

I do believe in religion but the moral, ethics and individual responsibilities still holds regardless of what we believe in, be accountable for our own actions.

Religion is what holds us to our own beliefs; it is like a moral light house guiding our way from dangerous costal shores.

So no matter what you believe in, make sure you are doing the right thing and be responsible for your own actions.

What kind of relationship do you want to have? Positive or negative relationship with people around you, are you going to force your way in and get killed in the process or approach with caution and respect for your competitors?

Think of the consequences before doing anything.

Breakup

posted by ryan

Breakup is to put an end to unpleasant relationship. It is the discontinuance of a relationship, called separation or divorce and termination. It could be marriage, friendship, employment and business partnership. It is to dump the other party for numerous reasons.

The most talked about breakup is nonetheless, Tiger Woods scandal with multiple ladies from different professions ranging from models to porn stars and even getting ladies pregnant and subsequently going for abortion.

Tiger Woods scandal is an example which illustrates from multiple perspectives. First he is married, second his is a world known golfer who has made a brand out of themselves due to diligence, third, he has other golfers who supported him and fourth he has business relationship from reputable brands with Nike, Tag Heuer, Gillette and other brands.

In this example, the scandal first started by Tiger Woods escaping from his wife Elin chasing Tiger who than crashed his car and was sent to hospital. Back than it was only a simple family marriage issue.

Thanks to media exposure, it than evolved into business and employment issues, with brands and companies backing out from the endorsement deals, and his employment as a professional golfer comes to a temporary stop, his money keeps gushing out into the ladies he had affair with not forgetting Tiger using money to have Elin staying by his side. His billionaire status, I guess is back to multi-millionaire due to payments for keep the secrets to themselves, the day he comes back to golf will be the days he climb back up to be a billionaire.

Breakup can be a pleasant experience with the right respect during the relationship, care and concern for each other. In this case, we have one of the ladies Jamiee Grubbs apologizing to Elin on a website portal exclusive. Jamiee said she had no regrets, it is only when respect is felt in any relationships, than breakup will be a pleasant experience.

Tiger Wood scandal may not have any impact on our daily lives, but it can be a great teaching tool as a case study to learn from other people’s experiences.

To have a positive pleasant relationship, first start by respecting each other, be it in family, friends, boy-girl relationship or in business. Respect comes first. Honesty comes second followed by responsibility for one’s action comes third.

Reluctance

posted by ryan

Reluctance is an unwillingness feeling and showing resistance to something that has being proposed, disinclination.

It is a behavior that is negative and should never be embraced and accepted. It is good to learning how to say No, but learn to say No only when the situation calls for it instead of saying No everything even if people want to lend a helping hand, but it takes both the giver and receiver to stretch out both their hands before the hands can hold together before any help can be done in the first place.

Resistance is both positive and negative different actions and decisions are made.

People who showed the most resistance to change belongs to the poor. They only want to receive but they don’t even make an effort to stretch out their hand doing half of the effort. Only expecting help from people who will go the extra mile stretching fully to feed the poor without themselves doing anything.

It is only when you give, than you receive. If you receive and don’t give, you will not grow or get any happier as what you receive is only temporary, and if you do nothing, the reality will set back in again. Look at the people living in one-room flat people, some poor souls living there only receive help and lots of assistance from people once a year when the election or votes for town council is round the corner, and the volunteers never fail to help clean up the homes of people living in one-room flat.

Every year, help is given, they do nothing to change their situation, which is why the next year, and their home will become messy again if it goes without maintenance because they are not changing their habits or thinking thus junk pile up easily.

People who show the least resistance will also suffer because they give too much, but didn’t receive anything in return. Allowing people to take benefits from them without returning anything, credit at work gets stolen, workload of other colleagues become the person who gives and don’t expect returns. It doesn’t pay to be too kind, but it pays to be generous and make sure you know at least how to do a balance sheet, getting a fair deal.

Reluctance is resistance but only when you show and do it right, than will you succeed. All entrepreneurs are successful because they understand and embrace reluctance to give up and increasing their resistance to non-constructive comments and feedbacks that are not helpful, only accepting constructive feedbacks that will help them to succeed and that’s why entrepreneurs are respected more than a boss who just pay the money and become a boss without earning the rights to be respected but they buy the right to be respected which is only temporary.

Help is given to only deserving people.

Big

posted by ryan

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.

Shortcut

posted by ryan

Shortcut is a shorter, quicker way to reach your destination on time if not early. It is a method, a procedure or policy used that reduces time, energy or effort to accomplish something.

Life is about moving ahead, enjoying the process. Growing up need not be boring following what we are expected to do, molding and fulfilling the regrets of our parents, siblings or even friends ambitions or dreams. It is all about yourself and yourself only.

The moment you descend onto earth from birth, you have the rights to rule your own life the way you want it to be. But the rights are only given to those who deserve the rights, to qualify for the rights to rule and own your own life, you have to first prove yourself and your own worth to others by being successful, so others who are weaker will and must submit to the stronger leader and be kept under their wings like it or not. It’s just the natural order of society, be it man, animals, reptiles, insects, germs etc.

Anybody who prove it, make it big are the true champions who earn the rights and respect to set their own rules for others to follow. Look at the government across the globe, most have earn their rights to rule the countries from the political ladder climb, with the votes entrusted on the president to do the right thing and making sure they deliver on their promises else they will not stand a chance to renew their term as a president.

Life is all about winning, being self-sufficient, learning to help one another. The more people you help, the more you benefit which is why in both religion regardless of countries, they all believe in their own god that the god/deity will help them and attain happiness in any situation or at least seek a inner peace in their hearts.

If you seek to learn and find shortcuts, what are you waiting for? I’ve being writing so much, you can just contact me, and I’ll show you where, how and who to learn from. Satisfaction guaranteed if not money back guarantee on condition that you’re committed to put in the hardwork and effort to grow together.

If you want to have shortcuts, learn from people who already know the shortcuts, don’t ask people who knows nothing (how you check for this, see what results, life they are living, and you’ll know), the only exception is when they know so much like me, but no results yet, you need to believe in faith and take calculated risk.
