She said the condition is sell it within 3 months period. If not, she'll open for to the rest of agents. What's the ridiculous condition.

Work Hard at Work Smart

Here are 3 quick and easy ways to help you work hard at working smart everyday. If you take the time to make these tips a habit, you’ll find yourself achieving your goals much quicker.


1. Work hard at being more adaptable to changes.


Remember that every change that comes your way gives you an opportunity to move ahead of those that won’t or can’t adapt to sudden change. In life they say the only guarantees are death and taxes. I would like to add a third item and that is CHANGE. Try to be the first to learn and adapt to new changes in your industry, in new technologies and new techniques.


2. Work hard at looking for shortcuts in everything you do.


Always be alert to easier more efficient ways of doing your routine task. Can you cut out, reduce, speed-up or combine steps - without sacrificing effectiveness? Don’t fall in the habit of doing routine task with a routine attitude. Stay alert to the possibility of doing it in a different way. Think outside the box if it can save you time, money or frustration .


3. Work hard at thinking ahead as much as possible.


The best chess players always think one move ahead. You should always try to do the same. Prepare yourself mentally before you act physically. This alone will help you avoid wasting time and making costly mistakes. The best athletes establish the habit of anticipating there next move ahead of time. The best quarterbacks know what they’ll do if they’re primary receiver falls down.


It is my hope that these 3 tips will inspire you to think of more ways you can work hard at working smart. The benefits and satisfaction will be well worth your time and effort.

Blaming Not Learning

As leadership expert, an author of Rich Dad & Poor Dad has addressed this statement on the new publishing book, I found very amazing that this is can be considers the best statement for current employees. Among of our colleagues, we always can listen their blaming and pin-point somebody fault although they think they know and done correctly most of time.

I can still remember a few words from one of local speaker stressed that, "when you use your fingers point somebody because of their fault, the real is you have finger point on yourself with 3 fingers." How do your judge someone you ever do not know? I only noticed that there is no wrong or right, but indeed it is only good or bad. I mean here when someone has made mistakes, it also need to view the pictures either they is a good solution to solve or there is maybe some solution can figure out, it doesn't mean the mistakes can't be overcome. Doesn't it sound logic and clearer pictures?

For me, I can see the problems are the challenges to myself. I'll treat it as learning paths. Nobody can teach you the lesson unless you must admit and learn your mistakes and also you must ensure you are not repeat your mistakes again. Never ever blame somebody while you have not learn at all. The best option is learn from their mistakes, regardless whatever mistakes has been made, it is still a cycle of learning for moving forward to have good undertaking in near future.

Are you still Dreaming?

Have you ever dream to work when it is the weekend? I personally had this kind of experience. It's pretty fun when the person who next to you wake up the bed during the weekend, he or she will tell you, "please wake up. Time to work". And then, he/she will realise that TODAY IS A SUNDAY after their refresh their mind.

Does he/she sound hardworking? We should learn from the good example. Does it sound interesting to know who's the person of this story? I perhaps do not tell you the truth. I wish you can understand my reason. I think many of us have experience some of sort of crazy and funky funny actions while you are lay on the bed. Honestly speaking, it was my first and ever experience. I feel very funny. I even laugh when I still mid of sleep. I guess this is not funny story to you. For me, it does.

After she realized that she had done something out of her expectation, she's keep laughing non-stop. So do I. I know she feel shameful for what she has done. I know she having much pressure of her daily tasks in the office. She share with me that everyday she is tighten with many tasks which reasonable to finish but you must concentrate what you have doing. She used done the mistakes but she indeed learned the value lesson. I have confidence she always can overcome the stress no matter how heavy of the tasks and responsibilities.

Last but not least, she is always my "superwoman".

They think, They Know

When I highlighted this theme, I can guess everyone of us maybe know something and probably not everything. Are you sure you know something that I even don't know? Perhaps it does.

I had the great lesson last weekend when I was visiting an exhibition about the Home Decoration Fair in famous shopping complex in klang Valley. In that event itself, it also organized a seminar for the public awareness. It was such common to me. The seminar indeed was difference especially they were not only create awareness but they used taught and shared the knowledge to public. It was cost free. Anyone can attend.

For me, it pretty sound weird when only a small group of people was sitting at the beginning, after a moment all visitors were attracted by the speaker whom from one of the recognize property mastery firm in the country. He used to be a student of the successful property investor in the market. She calls Renesial Leong. She succeed when the first property has been brought her with nett margin RM70.00 only. But she now own with property worth more than 20 million throughout the world(expected more or less).

The most attractive information caught my attention was the topic called, "They think, They Know"... he has addressed a number of value inputs to us. The summary of the seminar was, they have conducted survey that the investor always thinks they know more than what the other investor does not alert and aware, but they still manage having huge lost with a number of properties without large profit margin at the end. Why does it happen? It's totally unrealistic, isn't it? They failure. Failure with using wrong strategies investment. They Think, They Know....
