Lesson to be learnt
Lesson 1
Go through troubles without complaining
There is always reason why there are so many challenges and barriers in our lives. Especially when we are trying to reach something. People tend to give up halfway when challenges come one after another. For instance. When you are trying to go to Miri to have a meal of McD. There are so many challenges to go through.
1. How are you going over? Car? If you don't have. Bus? Troublesome. Cant make it in time.
2. If you are driving. Coastal Road? Safe during day time, dangerous at night. Old Road? Safe, but the journey is a roller-coaster ride.
3. Is you car filled with enough Fuel? There's no petrol station along the road. WHAT IF, your car is running out of fuel? Are you gonna call someone from Bintulu and pull your car back? Or you are gonna call someone to pull your car from Miri.
4. When you reach Miri. You cant recognise the road either.
5. Bla Bla Bla...
So, that's a very simple example. Any challenges that existed in our lives are meant to be for a reason. Those challenges are to discipline us, to train us, to be a better person.
My advice is that, if you face trouble in the future, be it minor or major. Do not give up. Do not blame. Face it with courage, and without you even notice it, you have grown to be a strong and persistent person.
Lesson 2
Forgive and Forget, Let Bygone be Bygone
Forgiving is a practice. It is something everyone should have in their soul. The statements says that, for each behaviour or act acted upon us, they weren't meant to be done in purpose. Therefore, try to put down your sword, and bestow upon him. Forgive is a deed. I have always believed in Karma. Whoever does wrong to us, we give them chance to change. That's our part in that particular person's life. Whatever punishment that he deserves, we leave it to the Karma or justice. Who are we to Judge anyway?
Lesson 3
Do what you can, and do not look on what others can
I believe this is very true in the sense that, "Do not put on hat that doesn't suit you". It implies Do anything that is within your capability, and control. Do not look at what others can afford/ accomplish, and measure his extend to your ownself. So, be contented, and work harder if you want to make a difference in life.
Lesson 4
In a race, it is the effort in finishing the race that matters, and not winning the race
Lesson 5
Build your life on strong foundation
For instance. Wise man build the house on rock. When the rain comes down, thunder storms, streams flow, the house will still stand still firmly on the rock.
Foolish man, build house on sand. When rain comes down, thunder storms, stream flows, the how will collapse with the sand underneath it.
Lesson 6
Getting rid of your old self, and renew to be a new and better person
Lesson 7
Always aim for eternity, and not temporary
Here's something to Cheer you up.
The story goes like this. It is about a baby camel and a mummy camel.
BABY Camel: Mum, why do we have hump on our back?
MUMMY Camel: Because it allows us to travel in the desert for a long time without feeling thirsty.
Hence, BABY Camel feel satisfy with the answer. But he feel curious about another thing, and asked the 2nd question.
BABY Camel: But Mum, why do we have long eye lashes?
MUMMY Camel: My dear, these long eye lashes protects our eyes from the flying sand in the desert.
Again, the BABY Camel is satisfied with the answer. BUT, he is still curious about another thing and asked the 3rd Question.
BABY Camel: Mum, why do we have long legs?
MUMMY Camel: This is because the sand is very hot, and with these long legs, it prevents our body from getting too near to the hot sand, and less heat to our body.
The BABY Camel now understand all the gifts that is given upon the Camel Species.
Therefore, he asked the last question which them MUMMY Camel cant even answer.

How to Manage your Financial
Recently, i was flooded by Investment ideas from every aspect of my life.
When i attended HSEQ Training, there were colleagues discussing on investing in ASB through taking 20 years LOAN from Maybank.
I have a friend, Jess, who is an experienced and smart investor. She always think of ways of earning more and more money. And i believe, by now, she has actually invested and earned a mouthful amount of bread.
Until i visited David's Blog and he wrote about How to make $100,000 work for you. This statement sounds so familiar, and i believe it is generally used by most best selling books in the financial-related market. From his blog, it is manifested how smart he is in handling his money. Of course, not to forget that from each show he performed, it equivalent to my 1 month's salary. So, instead of investing in 2 apartments at one time, i might opt for half apartment as a start perhaps. :)
Here's the link to the Mighty Magician of All Time (Malaysia).
http://laidavid.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-do-you-make-100000-work-for-you.html
Anyway, from his blog, he has proposed several ideas in putting your money in good use. Among them are the well-known REAL ESTATE investment/ trades. We know that LAND/ PROPERTIES price will always go up (Proven based on 20 years statistic). Hence, it is never a mistake to make such investment. BUT, the one and only mistake you will commit is when YOU COMMIT YOURSELF TO SUCH BURDEN WHEREBY YOUR INCOME DOES NOT SUPPORT SUCH EXTRA AMOUNT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR PROPERTY. Hence, unless you are financially sound, as in, stable income of at least 70% savings apart from paying the house, you are encouraged to do so.
However, looking at his blog, it makes me envious of how successful he is at the age of 23. If you could own 2 properties at the age of 23, in the next 10 years, i believe you will at least Quadraples the amount easily. Hence, wish you all the best David!!
Back to my case. I do not have any extra cash for investment now. Kinda regret i did not go all out in hunting/ saving money for future investment. 2 of my friends who have invested quite well are Dee and Jess. They have started investing years ago, and i bet they are enjoying the divdens payout. As for me, i have spent most of my money on things, luxurious, foods and etc. I have never thought of investment. So now, i would love to start some minor investment. Be it big or small, risky or conservative, i would want to start.
Hence, i bet the first step is in buying insurance. This investment obviously is an expenses instead of generating money. Yet, i am thinking of my loved ones.
Here's how the story go.
On 25th of July, Me, Syed and Jess went to Miri just to have a lunch at Mc Donalds. Oh my GoodNess!! THey tasted so great and delicious!!!Yum Yum YUM!!! Me and Syed ordered 2 sets each while Jess ordered 1 set. We finished the meals in just a short period of time - 7 mins. Then, we went down for a walk at Bintang Plaza. Then, we encountered this Maybank Roadshow promoting BIJAK MALAYSIA package. This is an Insurance Scheme + Investment. So, it depends on the age of entry, and the amount of contribution each month. After 2 hrs of talk with Joanna (Maybank Agent), the 3 of us decided to purchase the plan from Maybank.
That's the first move..
Next, i plan to gain some knowledge on the following investment funds
1. Public Mutual
2. ETF
3. Etiqa Takaful
4. Forex
5. Gold
Hurm..i believe that would be quite a sloppy journey. Hence, Discipline and Self- Control is very important, especially emotional management. Whoever would like to share their experience, or knowledge on how to invest in Malaysia, do share it here ok? I bet most of the fresh graduates would love to learn something from you.
P/S: I have always dreamt that someday those RICH would lend me RM10 mil to save in FD. Hence, i can earn at least 200k per annum. Hurm..sounds sweet and tasty isn't it? Well, you keep on dreaming and do nothing to it, you will end up the way you are now.
