Ordinary People Meets Extraordinary People

In your mind, you'll think that how to evaluate between ordinary people with extraordinary people. Don't get me wrong, I just give one good example. The ordinary people who usually are neutral person, no high expectation in their current living, always thoughts setback is their failure, never ever discover the risk, and the most important that they are work for living. At the end of the day, they make sure their pay check is credited to cover all expenses. On the other hand, an extraordinary people who considers dare to take high risk to discover something they think it is worth, to show someone must value their present, treat failure as their great motivator, expect more than they have now, and always searching for golden opportunities to be successful person. I believe that the explanation will be giving more bigger pictures.

I don't mean that the extraordinary people should be either richest person or the millionaire and billionaires. I am trying to stress that their thoughts maybe one step ahead, old saying goes "Prepare an umbrella before raining day"where the ordinary is having neutral thoughts. Thus so far, what are the different between ordinary and extraordinary people? An ordinary people can say they have a great ordinary dad, they learn from their dad through traditionally financial education and perspective of career paths. Ordinary dad advises their children during their school time must study hard when graduated must be get one stable job. He does not encourages to discover for start off the business. Extraordinary dad often said, during school time, they taught you with basic and general education, you must always think out of the box. Setback is not failure, you must make more mistakes to learn the lesson until you can be succeed. Never giving up when you had yet only encountered a few times of failure. Impossible means " I'M POSSIBLE.", rich tycoon quoted.

Set The Bar High - Make People "Ooh" & "Aah"

Could be sounds very familiar to you? I read a brief intro on the Donald trump books, "The trump 101, ways for success..", I deeply love this book very much. Can you just imagine that a guy who read this book in bookstore for whole entire great afternoon, hence he's not even put down this book until finished it. That was Me! How gorgeous of the content to implicate the 101 ways of success in our live. The statement above only one of the topic in the book to stress that we are must set the goal high, we should expect more than we aim for it. We can make people "ooh" &"aah", it's incredible and amazing contents inside to highlight the belief of successful entrepreneur to create miracles when he thinks his has own dreams. Let's makes something never ever happened.

Focus yourself on what you should thinking now. If you are thinking something your interest and enjoy, you are on right track for success. I would consider when we are doing something with our own interest, I firmly to say we are happy on what we are doing. Every people may not be understand the rules of life that we should achieve our living on what we are enjoy to do it instead we do it because of we do it. As leadership expert said, don't even pursue a career that others suggest or insist in right for you. At the end of the day, we achieve nothing worth for living. You should set your bars high...let's create unbelievable action against your negative thoughts.

Failure Is Not An Option


Many of us had thought that when we are doing one thing without putting their effort to achieve excellent results, aren't you? Most of us are believed this world never have free lunch. Why is this happen to them? They choose failure is an option. They have plenty of excuses to face the reality and without taking action to do it well, or else it shall be as what they thought in mind.  As I shared with some great articles in the past, I had been trying to stress that winners never ever quit and of course in reserve a quitters never win. Either the statement is right or wrong, or you choose you can't, you deserve to choose. You're right.

"Failure is not an option." Today post is most likely is taking about why majority of people choose failure is an option. It is all about a belief in their mind. They lack of confidence to adapt something changes in their lives. They are living in the comfort zone. Apart from that, they use to change nothing when they are also alerted that the economy is booming and fast-forward development all over in the country. They are likely act as conservative minded. When they were young, they have been told by their beloved parent to follow as what they done was correct. The different education background could be affected their behavior and thoughts. As leadership expert, Robert Kiyosaki often said, "If you follow your poor perspectives, they often tell you, you must focused your academic literacy, after that you get the good job. However, he said the rich often said, apart from academic focused, you must learn how to manage your financial. Let's the money works for you instead of you work for money." As you can see, they are having different thoughts. I should tell you now, our thoughts shape in our lives.

What you are doing, the power of our thoughts may never be measured or appreciated, but it became obvious to me as a young boy that there was value and power in being aware of my thoughts and how I expressed myself. I also noticed that in order to success you should understand on what you're interested to do, and do it now. Don't do it for money. It will strongly caused you destroy what you are dream for, your goals which you ever achieved if your don pursue it. Now we should know how to adopt something new without giving a statement to say, "failure is my option. I choose to failure." Never, never, never give up - Donald Trump as said. We should think big, dream big to ensure we are living in wealthy and healthy on our personal financially.

Money Is Not That Important

If you tell me that the money is not important, something is more valuable. Could you give a good example what you are trying to tell us? Certainly, I should respect you all different point of view. The money is not that important but it is something you need it for everything in your daily life. You just imagine that you are walking down the street, something is caught your attention and you want to buy it. If you have no money, don't you think you afford or able to buy it. No money, you can't visualized when you'll achieve your dreams one day. 

For instance, we can use this good example of crisis economy since it have been occurred In western Europe especially Greece, Spain, Portugal and so forth. Luckily it is happened in Malaysia at this time. Just imagine that how many of them did lost the job? The percentage of retrenchment is getting higher. It could be more unemployment will be coming up. For those people are unlucky where being retrenchment by giant in the industry. However, would you think yourself should just stop moving on for the rest of life? Look at yourself in the mirror, tell him/her " I will never give up no matter how difficult situation right now or in near future.


For majority people, money is everything. They believe that having a lot 
of money can bring them to the satisfaction level of which they have dreamed of. That’s how powerful of money. It can control the mind of an individual. Many people because of their obsession to have more money will do anything, even if they have to transfigure people into objects to acquire what they really want. That is why in our economy today, the rich become richer, and the poor become poorer. How sad it is to know that kind of reality.
Indeed, the rest of people seems have various of perception of money. What do you think? I strongly believe the most important how you evaluate the important of money for yourself.

Money is good but loving it makes it bad. We can work hard to earn more money. We can sell our properties and our other belongings to have money in emergencies. Remember, we should work not only for the sick of money but also for the reason of giving. Money is indeed important, but it is not everything.

Positive Respond When We're Facing Tougher Questions


I have observed my colleague's product training presentation this morning. From the beginning until at the end of session, I have rated him overall performance was 6 out 10. The reason was the audience has been posted a very tougher question when almost came to the end of presentation session. Although he had responded in professional ways, perhaps the audience quite dissatified of his answers, I guessed. If I were him during this situation, I will calm down before answering the question. Nevertheless, before that i will study some of tougher questions will be handled during presentation especially the product weaknesses. Anyway, I learned a great lesson today. I should thank him indeed. This lesson was taught me that "Always prepare an umbrella before raining day". Let's ask expert how can be countered a tougher questions in life when the situation was crowded with aundiences. Let's ask our Mr. Expert about this concerns. 

1. Clarify the question first. Customers often ask 2 basic types of questions which are specific questions in features of product against competitor or issues. While others should be more general questions which you will encounter it in every single presentation that you have conducted. At this time, a challenge to the conducter shall be rephrased the questions and ask he/she to repeat the question to further explain  what he meant  before answering. This is to avoid silly mistakes an answer to a question that wasn't even asked. 

2. Show Domain Expert. In this part, when you're confidence with your product, your company and how they compare your products against your competitor, you need not fear even the toughest questions. Frame the beginning of your answer with statement that confirm your credibility like "Based on my experience working with A,B and C companies, they ultimately to compare the product or offer with market competitor. Believe difference organizational has their own matter how to work on it and promote it with difference strength of marketing strategy or I've been asked that many times over the years.

3. Use their industry words. In order to build close relationship with your customers, we require to study their personal profile whenever it is possible. Next, you have to use their words and listen to them. Listen is  better than speak. Never ever use your buzzwords during the Q&A session in presentation. 

4. Demeanor speaks volume. The most powerful response to the most difficult question isn't solely a answer you give. It's also how you say it. Regardless of the question, keep a  calm and confident demeanor. Not only that, Keep a Cheerful Smiles whatever situation you are in. Most of all, do not get defensive. Stay positive. I trust this is critical lesson. "When confronted with by someone who disagree with your opinion, it's okay to disagree without being disagreeable."

5. Prepare yourself. Always prepare yourself for every single moment that business opportunity comes to you. Some customer may not need good answer when they throw tougher question, in other words, they may test your patience on how you have react. Take a deep breathe, you should not too eager to answer or to YES to every question you are asked. Prepare your answers in advance to protect yourself from uncomfortable questions about your products, company, and competitors.
