$$ Power of Money $$

Inspirational! SHARE IT WITH CHILDREN
Power of Money, By Adam Khoo
( Singapore 's youngest millionaire at 26 yrs.)

Some of you may already know that I travel around the region pretty frequently, having to visit and conduct seminars at my offices in Malaysia , Indonesia , Thailand and Suzhou ( China ). I am in the airport almost every other week so I get to bump into many people who have attended my seminars or have read my books.

Recently, someone came up to me on a plane to KL and looked rather shocked. He asked, 'How come a millionaire like you is traveling economy?' My reply was, 'That's why I am a millionaire. ' He still looked pretty confused.
This again confirms that greatest lie ever told about wealth(which I wrote about in my latest book 'Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires' ). Many people have been brainwashed to think that millionaires have to wear Gucci, Hugo Boss, Rolex, and sit on first class in air travel. This is why so many people never become rich because the moment that they earn more money, they think that it is only natural that they spend more, putting them back to square one.
The truth is that most self-made millionaires are frugal and only spend on what is necessary and of value. That is why they are able to accumulate and multiply their wealth so much faster.
Over the last 7 years, I have saved about 80% of my income while today I save only about 60% (because I have my wife, mother in law, 2 maids, 2 kids, etc. to support). Still, it is way above most people who save 10% of their income (if they are lucky).
I refuse to buy a first class ticket or to buy a $300 shirt because I think that it is a complete waste of money. However, I happily pay $1,300 to send my 2-year old daughter to Julia Gabriel Speech and Drama without thinking twice.
When I joined the YEO (Young Entrepreneur' s Orgn)a few years back (YEO) is an exclusive club open to those who are under 40 and make over $1m a year in their own business) I discovered that those who were self-made thought like me. Many of them with net worth well over $5m,travelled economy class and some even drove Toyota 's and Nissans,not Audis, Mercs, BMWs.
I noticed that it was only those who never had to work hard to build their own wealth (there were also a few ministers' and tycoons' sons in the club) who spent like there was no tomorrow. Somehow, when you did not have to build everything from scratch, you do not really value money. This is precisely the reason why a family's wealth (no matter how much) rarely lasts past the third generation
Thank God my rich dad foresaw this terrible possibility and refused to give me a cent to start my business.
Then some people ask me, 'What is the point in making so much money if you don't enjoy it?' The thing is that I don't really find happiness in buying branded clothes, jewellery or sitting first class. Even if buying something makes me happy it is only for a while, it does not last.
Material happiness never lasts, it just give you a quick fix. After a while you feel lousy again and have to buy the next thing which you think will make you happy. I always think that if you need material things to make you happy, then you live a pretty sad and unfulfilled life..
Instead, what makes me happy is when I see my children laughing and playing and learning so fast. What makes me happy is when I see my companies and trainers reaching more and more people every year in so many more countries.
What makes me really happy is when I read all the emails about how my books and seminars have touched and inspired someone's life.
What makes me really happy is reading all your wonderful posts about how this blog is inspiring you. This happiness makes me feel really good for a long time, much much more than what a Rolex would do for me.

I think the point I want to put across is that happiness must come from doing your life's work (be it teaching, building homes, designing,trading, winning tournaments etc.) and the money that comes is only a by-product. If you hate what you are doing and rely on the money you earn to make you happy by buying stuff, then I think that you are living a life of meaninglessness.

I came across this very interesting article sent my cousin through email, would like to share with u all..
Wealth is not measured by how many Bentley, Gucci, Rolex.. wealth is more than what u think
This article is very inspiring.. hope u guys enjoy it.. appreciate what u have now rather then having desires for more material stuffs.. =)

Bridge Tragedy

The bridge tragedy that happened in Kampar last Monday was totally RUBBISH ~!

it took away 3 young kids life.. who the FUCK is to be blamed??

and the best thing is the stupid bridge which is NEWLY BUILT only a month ago !!

this is totally unacceptable..

i been following this news since Monday.. the person in charge building the bridge MUST take responsible over it..

why are the kids crossing the river at 1030 night when the river is swollen??.. and it is stated there are no spot lights around the bridge..

WHAT THE DENG ~~
this shows how badly things can happen.. i hope the house i live in are not from those corrupted
developer which accept bribes.. good thing i am not staying in condominium.. it will be higher risk to stay in condo.. it might just collapsed when u are sleeping...

besides i hope the government reassure that all the facilities in National Service camp site are safe to be used.. goodness now i remember playing flying fox during NS..
luckily the cable never break off half way thru.. if not i might break into pieces after reaching the ground.. haiyz...

Nothing in the Budget to shout about (TheStar)

Tuesday October 27, 2009

Nothing in the Budget to shout about

SO MUCH for the 2010 Budget. It’s a pittance for the rakyat like me and my family.

Income tax relief is nothing to shout about as it probably results in not more than a RM100 savings annually.

For me, the bulk of my expenses are in four areas.

> The food prices we have to manage on a daily basis.

Prices for almost everything have gone up since the petrol hike but have never come down even though the Government had adjusted the fuel prices.

And nothing is done to curb the price increases while our salaries remain the same. Why isn’t anything done to address this problem?

> Another big chunk of our salaries goes to paying car instalments. We have the most expensive cars in the world by way of hidden taxes. Why isn’t this being addressed?

In urban Malaysia, being without a car is to be handicapped because of a “handicapped” public transport system.

> The other big chunk of our salaries goes to paying the instalments or rentals for our houses. Property prices in urban Malaysia are sky-high. There is no proper rent-control system in place.

> Lastly, the cost of education for our children. For those who do not make it to the public universities despite having sterling results, they are subject to astronomical fees for private college education. Why can’t the Government give subsidies to help us in this area?

In conclusion, the Government does not know what we have to go through daily.

DEMOTIVATED~

*copied this from the star online*

~ let's just HOPE the government is WISE enough to STEP UP actions to sort this stuffs out~

i seriously donno why our petrol is so expensive as we are one of the petrol producing country,

cars are taxed till sky high !! haha.. expensive sial ~

Day trip to Afamosa with friends

Yesterday was a pretty boring day..
me and two of the friends went to shopping mall to stalk girls??

they were very into girls now.. maybe its because a year plus in MFA is the reason why.. haha
i guess i am not as desperate as them..

historical place..
i remember during form3, i joined the school trip and pn teo was with me and friends..
i really miss those time.. if i not mistaken yew wei was there with me.. long time friend.. since standard 1..
reason of climbing up the hill is because one of the friend damm noob.. living as a malaysian for 19 years but never know his TANAH DARAHKU stuffs.. so drag him up there and explain err little bit here and there.. haha..
