Compete

posted by ryan

Compete is to outdo another for acknowledgment, prize and supremacy. It is the rivalry of two or more parties.

The most competitive industry in the employment sector will be Wall Streets in the USA. If you don’t know anything or what it does, watch Channel News Asia “Chinese woman succeeding on Wall Streets” and you will get what I mean.

In employment, it is the most competitive employment for employees where sky is the limit, and like what is said in the show, anybody who can survive in Wall Street for at least a year is already earning more than others. They have five times higher wages than others in the world. A hedge fun manager can easily earn up to a billion dollars of wages if he/she is successful.

In business, Forbes ranking list is the most competitive place for businessmen and entrepreneurs. In the past, being a millionaire will be sufficient to be among featured in the Forbes List, since few years back, Forbes List has changed and it takes at least a billion to climb into the list, thus the competition is intense.

Unlike employment, business is easier and much more fun and happening, if you enjoy what you are doing, something that is your passion, you are already ahead of your competitors because there is no classification between work and play for people who are working on their passion as business thus passion is a critical factor in business.

Competition is everywhere, it is the survival of the fittest for our own lives, we cannot depend on anybody except ourselves for a living, no even our parents, although parents are willing to give up their lives for us, but that is something that’s not good.

We should learn from the wild rogue nature of animals and beast, the instincts are kept inside each and everyone of us and will only surface in desperate times for survival. Clueless on what I’m talking about, watch Okto Documentary shows and you might learn about related stuffs.

Wild animals only protect their babies until they are fully independent and able to hunt on their own before leaving them on their own and carrying on with their own lives. This is seen and practiced by Western countries which is good but not in Asian countries thus contributing to Asian weakness in survival instincts.

Go for more natural outdoor sports and advantage, you don’t need to go into the advantage and sports full time, just a one time experience will do if you can catch and remember the feeling, experience at the back of your hand and recall it easily. If not, put in some effort into it and experience what nature and what is required for success.

Entrepreneurship is all about independence, and it come from freedom, breaking away from parents, care and protection and standing alone by yourself beating the odds and be the champion.

Supremacy

posted by ryan

Supremacy is a philosophy that one is superior to others, so dominate, control or rule those who do not.

It is to be of the highest in rank or authority; paramount; sovereign; chief.

Every nation has something which they regard themselves as the chief, be it food, people, language, unique resources and even military might.

USA is the current chief in military ability due to Nuclear power, but not the highest, because it is sharing the number one position with Russia, because before USA it was Russia whereby Rome was one of the first few countries to win numerous battles in war thus of the success and rich heritage around the world with the little bits and pieces of heritage left behind.

Before Russian (Rome civilization), it was the Greek history of ancient Greece civilization which inspired Rome. Than later comes Adolf Hitler who than made Germany a supreme country back than.

Back to the subject proper, supremacy can be found in France too for its nuclear abilities thus the reason why USA will not do anything against European nations which are on par with them. Thus USA can easily declare war with Iran and other small countries, due to military abilities.

It is the supremacy here that is the primary reason for having war. The fear of the next rise in another supreme country in terms of military abilities especially in terrorist which is Iran as well as another country which is in loggerheads with USA is China, the communist country, self-sufficient and need not even rely on USA for nearly everything if I am not wrong.

Look at the way USA is trying to discuss, persuade these countries and imposing sanctions on bilateral ties, it’s all about business, profits, having a smaller competitor is way better than allowing a fellow competitor to surpass you putting yourself at more risk. It’s all purely business and politics, using treaty to ensure that they can profit from other respective countries.

Looking beyond military, Japan was also one a ‘supremacy country’ in military during WWI but thanks to alliances of fellow European nations, Japan is back to its own humble beginnings due to treaty agreements signed in WWII. But that has not stopped Japan’s supremacy; in fact it is a blessing in disguise. Japan is the most high tech countries in the globe, thanks to the war treaty, they shifted their focus to the financial sector thus it is the second strongest country with China catching up closely behind at third due to currency reasons.

Egypt is has it’s own supremacy too and that is in the preservation of bodies, mummification and pyramid structure which is still a mystery to date on why it is able to help preserve mummies back then.

To succeed with a big bang and buzz allowing neighbouring nations or competitors to acknowledgement requires skill, supreme skills, ability and unchallenged niche.

Shao Lin Shi in China is another supreme in the martial arts, whereby it integrates all different forms of martial arts into the present Shao Lin Martial arts with the help of the marital arts masters in the records of history.  Bruce Lee is another chief in martial arts, being the first yellow skin to be honored by Hollywood.

India is another country, without wanting to copy Hollywood, it come up with Bollywood to feature their own films and industry over taking Hollywood in terms of movie production per year showcasing their own supremacy without following and instead start by leading and opening a new trail.

Supremacy is the way to go, if you don’t know what is your strengths, follow another person who knows their strengths and work closely with those people, and one day you will be considered as one of the co-founders of whatever is going to be the next supreme industry be it business, military, technology, science or others.

“Be the best at what you can do and constantly upgrade yourself to be the supreme leader of your niche” – That’s what I would say and tell to anybody who decides to take on entrepreneurship. Be the leaders and not the followers.
