Saying NO!


This is the first time Im posting a you tube clip. For a very important message on how to rear kids, and possibly tomorrow's leaders. It is called "the marshmallow experiment:.

The lesson? Plain and simple delayed gratification. In Asian context, we call it, PLAY NOW, PAY LATER.

Watch and learn.

The WORLD needs MEN who..


cannot be bought;
• whose word is their bond;
• who put character above wealth;
• who possess opinions and a will;
• who are larger than their vocations;
• who do not hesitate to take chances;
• who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;
• who will be as honest in small things as in great things;
• who will make no compromise with wrong;
• whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires;
• who will not say they do it” because everybody else does it”;
• who are true to their friends through good report and evil report, in adversity as well as in prosperity;
• who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning, and hardheadedness are the best qualities for winning success;
• who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular;
• who can say “no” with emphasis, although all the rest of the world says “yes.”

RPM For Leaders


Tony Robbins spoke of these principles. The RPM of powerful and successful people all have something in common - the RPM!

I recalled this as being the RESULT, PURPOSE and MASSIVE ACTION PLAN. These 3 areas seeks to answer the questions (1) what do you want to achieve, (2) why do you want to achieve it and (3) how are you going to achieve it.

A good framework to assess your life. How can I apply this today? May need to find a venue to do so.

Nothing New Under the Sun


Scripture said in Ecclesiastes 1:9-14 and I quote , "what has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun".

Hence, from this day forth, I am attempting to chronicle, with due diligence as I can be, 3 things to shape my day;

1. What 1 novel idea I have learned today.
2. What 1 new idea I have contributed to work/society that made people's lives better.
3. What 1 story I can take back and share to my kids/wife.

So help me GOD!
