Wild at Heart

Coal and diesel prices are up and soon electricity prices will follow the upward trend.

I found this Monester Electricity Saver - MES that can save you 10-20% off your electricity - with a 60 money back guarantee. www.kingkraal.com/energysaver.html

If you dont want to pay in US$85 on your credit card, then I am selling it in eBay and also in Lelong at just RM277 inclusive of 3 day delivery within Malaysia.

My monthly bill used to average RM200 but now the maximum I pay is around RM155. Quite good saving.

Steven Molnar was the first speaker at the National Achievers Congress at KLCC on April 26th. He teaches others how to make money in Real Estate.

The first free gift was a whole day Real-Estate Mastery seminar on May 3rd Saturday at PWTC inclusive of the software he uses to determine returns.

His shared his balanced approach to the Circle of Wealth.

Wealth - capital gains sector

Get a job and save to invest in Property as Capital Growth Assets (CGA). From these CGAs increase your equity.

Lifestyle - incometax sector

With your equity, invest in Income Producing Assets (IPA).  These IPAs give you the cashflow to reinvest into more CGA

He shared 3 strategies - Buy, Rental and Trading strategies he uses, but I think this Saturday at the Real Estate Mastery seminar, he will share more and I will update the details next week.

Here’s the link to learn more - http://my.srpl.net/nac08/stevenmolnar.html , and if you would like to attend this whole day event, then do contact me and I may be able to secure you a seat at RM 388 for 2 persons.

It’s time to decide on my next maid, as my current one will leave in December after working for 3 years.

So far I’ve had 6 maids. When the kids were younger, I decided to get maids around 30s with young kids, so that they could treat my girls like their own. But all of them left after 2 years to be with their own families.

The present one, I decided to get a young one early 20s and single, with the hope that she could stay on for years and be part of the family. But after 26 months, she wants to go back to get married.

It’s tiring to keep on training new maids every few years. I have a cousin, who has a filipina who drives my cousin’s son to and from school. So I am seriously considering if that should be the way to go to have a 2 in 1 - maid and driver too!

But everything comes with a price - a filipina maid enjoys a higher salary, has 2 off days monthly and costs a lot more in agency and transport fees.

Any suggestions for a good agency I should use for my next maid?

I got a message today from a friend who has a spare NAC Gold seat for this weekend’s National Achievers Congress 2008 in Kuala Lumpur.

Unfortunately, it’s first come first serve and I can only reserve it for you if you pre-pay me via Maybank, CIMB or PBB. Look forward to see you there!.

This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint…
it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it’s the Bullshit and Asskissing that will put you over the top.

I saw a road side banner about the Streamyx Combo - just RM60 for unlimited broadband access and no phone line rental.

Well I currently pay RM66 for my broadband and another RM26 for my phone line rental, so I thought this deal would be good.

But wait - the catch is this - the phone line rental is free if you only use it to receive calls and to access your broadband. But if you pick up the phone to make a call, you will be charged RM28 for the phone line rental!.

Could be a good deal if you don’t use your home phone at all. So if you wanna save your phone line rental, just dial 100 and tell them to change your plan to the Streamyx Combo 1.

We can choose to enjoy what we love, or remove our favourite snacks from our diet.

But then again, we live to eat, and it’s really hard to say no to snack on some lovely fried crispy crunchy oil-soaked banana fritters, sweet potatoes, yam, breadfruit, cempedak and cokodok. With or without the extra cancer causing plastic thrown in.

So if you are like me, then remember to take daiy good quality anti-oxidants and do a Cleanse and Detox every 6 months, just to make sure, all such surprises are regularly cleansed out of our internal systems.

Every celebration calls for food and without such asian favourites, life would be meaningless!. So just continue to eat, drink and be merry, for you may not get to enjoy it later on.

Once upon a time, there was a king. The king liked one of his followers very much because he was very wise and always gave very useful advice. Therefore the king took him along wherever he went.

One day, the king was bitten by a dog, the finger was injured and the wound was getting worse. He asked the follower if that was a bad sign. The follower said, Good or bad, hard to say’.

In the end, the finger of the king was too bad that had to be cut. The king asked the follower again if that was a bad sign. Again, the follower gave the same answer, ‘Good or bad, hard to say’. The king became very angry and sent the follower to prison.

One day, the king went hunting in the jungle. He got excited when he was on the chase of a deer. Deeper and deeper he went inside the jungle. In the end he found himself lost in the jungle. To make thing worse, he got captured by the native people lived inside the jungle.

They wanted to sacrifice him to their god. But when they noticed that the king had one finger short, they released him immediately as he was not a perfect man anymore and not suitable for sacrifice.

The king managed to get back to his palace after all. And he finally understood the follower’s wise quote, ‘Good or bad, hard to say’. If he hadn’t lost one finger,he could have been killed by the native people.

He ordered to release the follower, and apologized to him. But to the king amaze, the follower was not mad at him at all. Instead, the follower said, ‘It wasn’t a bad thing that you locked me up.’ Why?

Because if the king hadn’t locked the follower up, he would have brought the follower along to the jungle. If the native found that the king was not suitable, they would have used the follower. Again, the quote ‘Good or bad, hard to say’ stands.

The moral of the story:

Everything happens for a reason and there is no absolute good or bad. Sometimes good things turned out to be bad things eventually, while bad things become a gain.

Whatever good things that happen to you, enjoy it, but don’t hold too tight to it, treat it as a surprise in your life.Whatever bad things that happen to you, don’t have to feel too sad or despair, in the end, it might not be a total bad thing after all.

If one can understand this, he or she will find life much easier.

JOE GIRARD’S 13 RULES TO SUCCESS!

1. KEEP YOUR TROUBLES TO YOURSELF and make people believe you are having awonderful time.

2. ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE; keep an appointment book so that you don’t have to use the words that sicken me: "I FORGOT." At the end of each day, list what you did and plan your work for the next day. If you know where you are going you will get there.

3. WORK WHEN YOU WORK; don’t take long lunch hours or play golf when you should be working. Eat with people who can help your cause, not co-workers.

4. DRESS THE PART; what kind of people are you dealing with. If you are selling to blue collar workers, don’t wear $500 suits and expensive shoes, jewelry or watches. Wear it on your own time, not when you’re working - clothes can turn people off.

5. OBSERVE GIRARD’S NO-NOs; No smoking or chewing tobacco, no gum, no colognes, no profanity or dirty jokes, and men do not wear earrings while you are working. Turn off cell phones - they’re irritating. The biggest killer of them all is NOT BEING ON TIME.

6. LISTEN! People can tell if you’re not listening. The longer you listen, the more obligated people will feel to you. The more you listen, the more likely a customer is going to do business with you. Listening shows that you care. "The mouth should only be used for eating - keep your mouth shut!" Silence is Golden.

7. SMILE! A smile increases your face value. If people would smile more, they would feel better and make their customer feel like doing business with them.

8. KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE; hang around with positive people, stay away from naysayers or crybabies. If something isn’t going right in your life, keep it to yourself - no one wants to hear your problems.

9. RETURN ALL PHONE CALLS & EMAILS; not returning calls or emails are a way to lose customers and friends. Return your calls and emails as soon as possible.

10. TELL THE TRUTH; if you get caught in a lie even once, you will always be considered a liar. Even if you tell the truth for the rest of your life, you won’t be trusted or believed.

11. DON’T OVERCHARGE; if you do, and the customer compares your deal with somebody else, you will have lost him. Take a little and leave a little; Joe only worked on a small profit, but he was heavy on volume, averaging six retail automobile sales a day. Word of mouth got around that you can’t beat Joe Girard’s price.

12. STAND IN FRONT OF YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICES; not behind. The most important thing to do for your customer is SERVICE them, and they will do business with you over and over again.

13. LEARN FROM EVERY SALE; when people tell you why they do business with you, they are reinforcing their trust in you. You learn about things they like and what they don’t like and if they like you they will do business with you forever.
