Think Differently!

Yesterday was unbelievable. I was almost on my way to become a pace setter again for another month. I was hoping to be on track to be the next Leaders Club. My hope was dash when my prospect lied to me to get rid of me from her face. Which really pissed me off cause she lied! She could've just said a simple 'no'. I could have save me time and effort and she does have to feel guilty. My spirit was broken again.

I feel like I want to quit but it is still early but I've already ran out of names and leads. I came across a site that teaches a different way to do MLM. I am really interested in it. She said, that all the technic of doing MLM is obsolete! At first I didn't agree but then I said to myself, maybe she is right. Those technic is from the very early age of MLM but now is the age of the internet. Could there be a third way?

I came to a point that I want to be out the rat race no matter what. Robert Kiyosaki was right, once your mind had been change you don't want to go back to the old way of thinking. I began to see how the Rich people think.

I began to see that business is the way to raise capital for investment for a residual income. They kept on raising capital, so that one day, they don't have to work. Cause money works for them!

What we should do is to raise the capital and look for knowledge on how to collect asset. Asset as Robert define as things that puts money in my pocket and liability what take my money away.

Now the next step is to look for ways to raise the capital I need. In the mean time. look for knowledge and information on where to put my money! And yeah, don't listen to your banker. Cause he doesn't know how to generate Residual Income, if not he would quit and live like a rich bastard!

Change Self, Change Others

I've once read a story of an east mystic that he prayed to God that he wanted to change the world. After 10 years nothing happened. So, he then prayed to change the people around him. After 10 years, still nothing happened. So, he then prayed to change himself, suddenly, the very next day, the people around him started to change. Then after that the world started to change. He said to himself, "If he had known his, he would have save himself 20 years of praying."

At first I thought this is just a story to initiate change in oneself. Then again I decided to test it myself. True as it is, once when I change. The world starts to change. I learn in a very short time, (not 20 years, thank God) that in order to be an agent of change, you must change first. You must change the way you look at life, the people around you and the things that you do. The irony of change is that, it is easy said then done.

Then again if you really want to and by looking at the benefit of changing will bring to you, it will drive you to change. Sometimes, we decided to change after a certain cataclysmic event that really shattered our ideal world. Sometimes, it is triggered by some new idea or perspective.

Changes that occurred by an event is something that involves divine intervention and the introduction of a different perspective. Sometime a certain event never does anything to one person. He/She, still decided to follow the trail that he/she use to rather then looking at different path.

I believe that people that changes due to the introduction of new ideas are people who reads, mix around a lot people and they have an open mind. Because for them, in life is not a classroom. There is no right and wrong answer in life, unless, it is clearly stated in Islam. Like what our holy prophet said when asked about some of his companion had done cross-pollination to boost the produce of dates. He simply said that this is his worldly deals that he/she knows best.

But ever since we were at school, we were trained to be a good pupils by been told which is right and wrong, we began to loose our perspective that, there are many things out there which has not right or wrong answer. We began to develop a notion that being in a crowd is right and being different is wrong. Hence the word 'Normal'. No there is nothing wrong being normal, as we considered ourselves a normal human being if we look some or rather like everybody else. If we were to have more (three arms) or less (one eye); we are considered abnormal.

What I mean by being different is, we do things differently. Yeah, it nears the edge of insanity but that is the feeling of being different. You felt out of place in society. You become abnormal in sense of doing things your way. You decided to follow a different path.

Strangely, at first you think that you're the only 'crazy pot' out there but then after sometime, you discovered that you aren't alone. People who think alike then to be attracted to each other. No matter what is their present distance now. That also explain the sudden distance you beginning to felt with those who thinks differently from you!

Now you began to see the people you attract. These are the people you starts to mingle with more. This enforced the change you decided to adopt. Suddenly, the people around you change! Your thinking also changes, the words you use, changes; you then began to realise that when you change you will also infect other to think differently. Cause you kept bombarding the new idea that you embrace, no matter what other people said. When the people around you changes, suddenly, the world you living in will starts to change.

Ironic aspect of this change, it could also be a negative or disruptive effect as it is for positive or constructive effect.

Are You A Real Man!?

Top 10 Traits of A Real Man

Trait #1: A real man is strong

A real man doesn't cry, doesn't moan, doesn't complain, doesn't get sick, and doesn't need to go to the doctor every time he sneezes. A real man makes decisions and lives with the consequences. A real man accepts responsibility for his actions and his words. A real man is firm. If life is a b*tch, a real man will slap it and move on.

A real man is macho; a real man is tough; a real man doesn't show emotions. A real man is the backbone of his family and doesn't have time to be weak. If spiders scare you, you'll never be a real man.

Trait #2: A real man is focused

A real man knows the difference between what's important and what isn't. A real man doesn't waste time on stupidities that don't bring him any profit. Sure, there are things you can do as a hobby -- I like to shoot ducks -- but it must have a purpose. The purpose of my hobby is to improve my aim, and I don't have to tell you whether or not that's a useful thing in my line of work.

A real man focuses on power, money and family. He doesn't focus on sex. Sex comes as a result of having power, money and a wife (and if she doesn't satisfy you, there are plenty of other women who will, especially when you are powerful and rich).

Trait #3: A real man knows the importance of family

A real man will keep his family strong and pass on his ancestors' history and traditions. A real man knows that his children are God's gift and should be treated as such, even if he disciplines them from time to time.
A real man must also remember his other Family, his organization. In my world, both my family and my Family hold the same importance; I protect them both with all my might. If you have a Family, don't forget where your loyalties lie and who has your back when you need it.

Trait #4: A real man doesn't gossip

A real man keeps his mouth shut. He shelters information and rations his words. A real man does not reveal more than he has to and doesn't engage in girlie talk about others. A real man doesn't discuss things he doesn't know about or people he has never met.

Trait #5: A real man's word is his bond

When a real man makes a promise, he keeps it. If he can't keep a promise, he doesn't give his word. A real man would rather die than break his word. A real man knows that his words are as powerful as his actions, and that they must be taken at face value. That is why he rations them.

Trait #6: A real man strives to be a role model

A real man respects himself and others at all times, unless, of course, he has been disrespected. A real man sets an example for his disciples, and especially for his children. I never bring my work home, so my children only know me as their father and not as a waste management executive. You should do the same; a real man sets the tone for his children and keeps them from discovering that he has weaknesses.

Trait #7: A real man makes his own fortune

A real man doesn't settle for handouts or charity when it comes to his personal fortune. A real man isn't satisfied with papa's money. He spits on Lady Luck and decides his own destiny. A real man who inherits goods from his forefathers takes his inheritance and turns it into 10 times what it was.

Trait #8: A real man doesn't look like a woman

A real man doesn't have piercings and long hair, and he doesn't shave his chest. Manicures, however, are acceptable. Massages from female attendants are also tolerated. A real man knows that, outside of his barber, all his personal hygiene needs must be taken care of by a woman.

Trait #9: A real man keeps his house in order

Have you ever been inside the boss’ house? There ain’t no pizza boxes sitting around, there ain’t no undershirts on the floor, and there sure as hell ain’t no unpaid bills being used as beer coasters. No ruler can rule over a territory if he isn’t already the master of his own home.

This means you lazy pinheads out there need to stop using machismo as an excuse to live like a bottom-feeder; keep your sty spotless, keep your documents in order and -- listen up on this one -- clean your freaking suits.

Trait #10: A real man can defend himself

You know what’s missing in the world today? Leaders, who have had to fight their way to the top. No joking, look at the head of any business that’s circling the toilet bowl, and I’ll show you a boss whose parents' power and money kept him from ever learning things the hard way.
Every successful capo has been on the wrong end of a beatdown -- be it with words or be it with a set of A. Testonis. But those future capos got up again and again, until they knew how to stand their ground… and that, my students, is when you can start to climb the ladder.
