Arrogance

posted by ryan

Arrogance is to be overbearing to the extent that people around them disapprove of their behavior or actions. It is the offensive display of superiority or self-importance without any humility.

Arrogant behavior is when people who are confident starts to show off and think that nobody is having more results, profits and potential than their peers and not thinking that someday there will be somebody who is better than them in everything appearing in front of them.

Such people assume that they are superior towards others, by being insolently proud. If you know of such people, they will only hang around people who are weaker than themselves playing the big brother looking after their smaller siblings while taking instructions from their senior brother behind the scene who is in-charge of him. The senior lets him have all the face, ego and pride, a perfect example, gangsters, loan-sharks who hang around together.

In times of trouble, than you will see each of them running for their own lives and survival in the event of a bigger group of gangsters seek revenge on the weak, particular going after a smaller group of individuals.  In Singapore, you will never ever see gangsters on equal strengths pit off against one another in a fight, it is only in Hong Kong, Japan and other countries than will you see them in the newspapers when titans fight one another.

People who are arrogant simply just display the sign of actually being a coward who depends on a group of people to solve their own personal grievances via revenge. They socialize only among themselves, and is contented with the false protection they enjoy.

Police are the military titans who are not arrogant like gangsters; in fact they just observed them like the big brother, only coming into the picture when they start to stir trouble and problems making the police job difficult.  This is a standard observation from news press all over the world; they just sit by the side and observe which has more benefits than otherwise.

In business sense and perspective, it is easier and preferred to allow your competitors whom you know at the back of your hand to survive, knowing their strengths and weakness by hard than to silence all the competitors they know and give rooms to new competitors that they now have to work hard and gathering evidence against a newly formed group making their job more difficult. Rather than killing all opposition, why not just let them survive, and only show their power when such gangs get out of hand.

The competitors can sort of like be each others allies in one way or another, given the sufficient space to live, they will not clash, than the gangsters who the police know at the back of their hands will help the police reduce their workload by stopping any newly formed gangs from increasing their territory thus in a way, that’s how the society works.

Know who your allies are and who your enemies are. Mutual cooperation is needed even if there’s a conflict of interest for survival.

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.

Being an entrepreneur

posted by ryan

Entrepreneurship, a word which have being lightly mention in parts of my blog before, today it will be the made a subject although it may be short but it’s going to be a direct pinpoint on the issue itself.

While there are many entrepreneurs publishing books on why they have succeeded and how we can be the next one live to tell the tale but what’s really missing from their success story is the pushing reason, mostly by which might be personal reasons causing them to have the intense desire to succeed which they didn’t at once mention that caused the important ignition of a spark leading to a wild burning forest fire of self-motivation towards success.

There’s a book which I mention previously in a separate blog entry, but I’m going to repeat it again as this book together with another book will be more than sufficient to tell you why you we should succeed, not for others but for ourselves.

Many times, the idea of success comes with glory and honor but the reason behind the desire to succeed can be so simple like “I never want to eat choosing numbers”. As simple as it sounds, to those who understand what I written as example, good, else there’s no need to motivate or force yourself towards success if it isn’t you yourself who seeks success.

The book which I strongly recommend is “Why we want you to be rich” and Who moved my cheese”. The former being written by both Donald J. Trump and Robert Kiyosaki is a book which doesn’t teach you how to succeed but rather helps you understand yourself more and why you should. The latter is a book which isn’t top seller book, but it is a very practical, down-to-earth and simple book which can be completed in less then two hours even for a guy who doesn’t like to read books with slow book reading speed. This book however isn’t available in national library but can be bought in bookstores for $10 (round off to the nearest complete figure).

While many have talked about the fish analogy, but not many really take it to heart due to they have yet to learn actual real life fishing to understand the satisfaction of it. Unlike fishing, the book “Who moved my cheese” describes a tale of two mouse trapped in a maze looking for cheese to fill their stomach.

Going hungry is something that every single person have experienced and therefore this book will be especially closer and be appreciated more than the fish analogy. Back to the subject, quoting for the book “Why we want to be rich” again, “Entrepreneur is not a group effort. You have to be willing to go it done for a certain amount of time and sometimes for a long time. Having said my point, I wish all Happy New Year and say Cheers to Success if you believe and FOCUS.

Mind the Poor

posted by ryan

Thanks to the book “Why we want you to be Rich” from Donald J.Trump and Robert T. Kiyosaki, it has help me cleared most if not all of the blocks, riddles and reasons why becoming rich is no longer a want but a need to do so. In fact it is such a strong need that most countries ought to do so. If you want to know and find out reasons why you should be rich, either buy or borrow this book to read.

At page 248 of the book, there’s a section which talks about living below your means or expand your means. Most of the poor people would choice the former as the latter is out of the question to them having little to zero financial education. The latter will than be chosen by people who aspire to be rich one day if not are people who desire to be even richer.

While it’s true that rich people can also live in a simple lifestyle below their means but it comes with a heavy price tag to be able to buy a land, grow the plants, vegetables and be self-sufficient but in Singapore and land scarce nation, it’s nearly impossible already except for the existing kampongs which both government and developers have no say in, rejecting their offer to sell their land which has at least the size of few soccer field big.

Left with no choice than, the poor has to bow down to fate and the destiny that awaits them for being poor – no choices and living below their means, one standing phrase among all the poor minds’ are “Study hard, get a job, work hard and save your money for rainy days.”

I’m so sick and tired of such words, like wise for the majority of the people who took up MLM hoping to change their destiny, but it somehow seems far reach as most sales distributors are still dreams and not entrepreneurs themselves.

The poor mind works simple, they seek only not to lose, and not to gain, just living each day to the bare minimal hoping to be able to fill their stomach and nothing more than that. The simpler thinking each poor mind has, the worst their lives will be having their savings slaughtered like pigs in the farms by banks, governments, insurance agents, and financial advisers.

Look at the banks; list me anybody who has went become a Millionaire by just purely savings – no one, the only people getting rich from banks are the top management people getting paid high salary for making wrong investments at times with our money and being directed the way to the exit.

Look at the government, poor investor mind sets, only squeezing the poor, ripping our hard earn savings, make and squeezing us dry like loan sharks just that they do so legally by law due to lack of financial education. Which is why global educational institutions and governments do not and will never ever encourage people to take up financial sectors instead hire only people who chose the path themselves.

Government people are poor individuals with only knowledge in politics and academically smart yet holding high paying jobs making costly mistakes sucking us dry yet playing with trillions worth of money from respective nation’s citizens’ savings. Making a few mistakes with millions, and at times billions worth of mistakes does not warrant their immediate resignation due to primarily lack of politicians so they are free to make costly mistakes with our hard savings yet the poor can’t complain nor do anything because they don’t even know that government are not helping them at all.

Here comes the best part – insurance agents and financial advisors – they are the group of ‘trusted agents’ with nothing more than a paper qualification getting paid for each policy and financial package signed under them. With no prior experience of investments, they are just copycats, following the leader who tells them what to invest in, what to look out for etc. In short, they are not trained nor taught to help us get rich. They get rich by simply selling your paper services that help themselves get rich. Is this the world that you want to be in getting squeezed by those ill-trained advisers in different fields?

Quoting from a phrase said by Robert in the same book page 119 “Wall Street is the only place that people drive in a Rolls Royce to take advice from people who ride the subway.” This is truth that even a rich nation like US is taking advices from the wrong advisers, so what will become of the future in terms of dollars and cents? Do you want your money to be managed by ill-trained financial advisers or would you like them to be place in trusted people in the hands of entrepreneurs who knows the secrets of doubling if not helping you with increase your wealth?

To get rich, it’s as simple as knowing who to place your trusts in with your hard earn money. I have identified five mentors (in property, financial, and businesses) who will help me increase my wealth but first I got to proof my own worth first. While I have identified my own future mentors who will assist me, have you found yours yet? If your answer is no, I suggest you read this book “Why we want you to be RICH” It’s available at National Libraries in Singapore which can be loaned for free.
