My Life, Your Story.

Have you ever wonder where one's ability in earning the S sign and 2 strokes come from?

With due respect to smarties or scholars who became high fliers in industries of their expertise/arena after years of education. I admire that after all their mugging of school work and massive splurges on traditional education, their earning abilities can reach to about 2 -5 times higher than a normal graduate.

But i am impressed and far more curious of people whom of the same age as us, earning 10 or 20 times higher, and to stretch it further, have a much lower education than me. No kidding. Really 10 times higher than my monthly paid salary now.

These people seem to have endless creativity power within themselves to create wealth. & more than just creativity, they have that 天不怕，地不怕, never-say-die attitude that we often seen lacking ESPECIALLY in a typical Singaporean. Or if they don't know something, they make sure they go out there and get that information, or make a friend whom can teach them.

Recently i heard about a friend's friend who is a big lavish spender. When i first heard about him, i don't have a good impression learning how he splurges money like water. But i caught something else later. The reason WHY he can spent money in such a way is because he HAS that capability to EARN that money in the first place.

He wasn't born with a silver spoon, & yet using his own means, can earn that sort of money that support his lavish lifestyle. He is constantly thinking of how to earn more money so that he can spend more (sounds kind of extreme). Basically, his brain works like his very own asset, to support liabilities that he loves to have. He definitely has something we all can learn from..

An agent once told me - There are only 2 ways to be rich. Either 1) maximize your earnings or 2) be defensive over your spending. Sadly most of us try our best to be 2), but yet we still can't really call ourselves rich/financially free (to do the things we love/dream to do).

That friend's friend has proven to be absolutely 1), which again sadly most of us can't seem to attain it. That's why we live a mediocre life. And we start to persuade ourselves to be 'contented' with the present, coz that makes us feel better. But often, that's self denial.

I believe what Pastor said. That we are meant to live in abundance, not in lack. When we are blessed, than we can then start to bless others as well. We can't give others what we don't have. If i wish to me a missionary for example, i must have lots of money first that can support my trips and works so that i do not have to pathetically depend on others through funds-raising, right?

There's a saying that says.... the more you study, the 'squarer' you will think. Graduates are often scorned at how we can't think out-of-the-box, or provide clever solutions to problems. Wells... haha i hate to admit, but there are indeed some truths in it. And i shall continue more another day....... it's 11:51pm now, and my eyes & fingers are failing me.... *yawn* Nitez!
