I realised that life is too precious to live life on the safe side always and getting nothing out of it!

If your "arrow" in life is always aiming at nothing in particular, you will definitely hit the target (of getting nothing)!

If you don't dare to take the leap of faith to break away from the norm, you will never know how beautiful the view is up there, how free you can be...

You will end up behaving like a chicken who barely fly when you are an eagle who can soar...

Even if it means falling and getting injuried many times, the final takeoff to greater heights is definitely worth all the "failures" and troubles!

This is something you will never learn from school! :P

There was a strong sense of inertia (physix!) that I had to overcome when I quit my stable job as a teacher and deciding to go into this sales-based job of meeting people and informing them about this good investment opportunity in development banking.

The fear of asking, the fear of rejection, the fear of meeting strangers overwhelmed me at the beginning...

But as I gained more confidence of the investment product through research and questioning, the fear diminished tremendously since I now sincerely see it as a way of helping people to grow their money safely and wisely without having much risks and constant monitoring.

my WHY factors for going into this new career is also a driving force for me when the going gets tough. There must be reason(s) why you are working (or studying so hard) for. Money (or good grades) is never the reason. Its just a way to achieving an end. The more meaningful/selfless your reason(s) are, the stronger will be your desire and the higher will be your chance of achieving your goals. Here's some of my WHY factors:

1. To achieve financial freedom so that I can spend MORE time with my family and NO time worrying about not having enough money to support my family and my aging parents.
2. To help others to grow their money safely and wisely without having much risks so that they can use their money for their childrens' education or retirement.

At a slightly later stage,
3. To help others to achieve financial freedom by recruiting some of my friends to achieve what I have achieved.
4. To educate my students (or teenagers) about financial wisdom and how they can achieve what I have achieved through mentorship and publishing a book about my life's lessons.
5. To set up a home-schooling fund to help families who desire to give the best form of education to their children but find it financially difficult to do so.

Things have been amazingly well so far since I tendered my resignation on 10th October 2007 (my son's birthday)! My official last day is 31 Dec 2007 though.

I received quite a number of offers from tuition centres and parents asking for private tuition. I'm rather spoiled for choice and I actually get to decide how much I should be paid for because of my experiences and qualifications!

My career in development banking consultancy is also picking up very well and if things are going according to plans, I may not give tuition as a form of income anymore! :) In fact, I am so excited that I jump up of bed almost every morning, dying to tell people of this good opportunity to make their money work for them and grow! If you want a part-time job related to this, do sms me. I will show you how to earn $100 to $400 in less than 5 minutes! sounds too good to be true? contact me and I will explain to you how :)

I'm so glad I took that leap of faith to come out of my stable job to venture into such a flexible but rewarding career!

There's no looking back even though there are rumours that there will be pay raises and extra incentives in the near future! What's ahead of me is far more worthwhile than what they can offer!

The best part is that I have found a new and better way of fulfilling my dream of becoming financially free so that I can work when i want to and I can have more time drawing near to God, more time with my family and be financially able to help other families in a more effective way! These are the reasons for working so hard for money. Money is but a mean to an end. Let the end be a meaningful one or wealth will never come to you.

I will continue to trust Him to lead me in the days ahead. :)

that's a silkworm, the cleanest worm in the world! it lives on oaks. we are using it as a bait for simple rod fishing!


that's a big catch! the fish got caught without eating the worm up so we recycled the worm again! :) btw, the fish don't feel a thing when it get hooked cos the region around its mouth has no nerves. :)


Christian got the first fish very fast! He's a pro compared to me!


My wife is not bad too! she came in second!


I finally caught one at last! :)

anyway, we let them all go eventually! :)
