Over the years, I have been consistently attending National Achievers’ Congress held by Success Resources but about 2 years ago in 2006, I had to go on an overseas trip and missed attending the National Achievers’ Congress 2006, where Jim Rohn was one of the main speaker.

I have been listening to Jim Rohn CD ever since I started in my engagement in personal development and I like the way he delivers his message, simple and yet full of impact. As you may have recalled, I have not been feeling too good these couple of weeks and thought that it could be due to the fact that I have not been listening to Jim Rohn’s CDs for some time.

Once again, I popped in Jim Rohn’s CD album “The Day That Turns My Life Around”, which I have gotten from Your Success Store and again, the track that I loved listening makes me realized something… Read the rest of this entry »

Since 2002, I have been on the field of personal development ever since I was introduced to it.  My first book was Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and had I read that book first, I may not have bought my existing 5 room flat that I am staying right now.

As I was taught, that self development is a must for anyone who wants to embark on the journey towards a successful life and I have always been thinking:

Why is personal development so important for one’s pursue towards the success journey? Read the rest of this entry »

About 10 days ago, my wife has written in her blog that we have registered our marriage for 11 years and I have known my wife since 1992 when I started courting her.  I was still serving my National Service in the army during the time when we started dating and shortly after NS, I started working.

Throughout my whole working life that started since 1995, I have been travelling to countries like China, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Germany and Sweden starting from 20 - 30% per year when I just started to about 40 - 60% per year at the current moment.  It may not be that much as compared to some other people who are travelling up to about 80% of their time per year but a lot of people including myself previously would make this classic statement:

“Why do you think I am working so hard for?  I am working so hard and making more money all because of the FAMILY!”

Have you heard of this statement?  I bet you had.  But the biggie here is that have we actually asked our family what do they really want?  What about me?  Have I asked my family what do they want?

I just did.  Now that I have a daughter and expecting a son sometime in April, life will definitely not be the same again.  I just asked my wife if she is comfortable with the way I am pursuing our dreams on behalf of the family and if she is, I will continue to do what I am doing right now but if she isn’t, then we got to sit down and straighten things out and see what can be done.  I will always like to paraphrase what Lee Iacocca said:

“No one on Earth will wish that he had made one more sale and spend one more day in the office but all will wish they had spent more time with their family!”

I am determined to make things work according to how my wife and I have planned out together.

What about you?
