Exponential Growth of Money and Success
Friday, August 3rd, 2007This is quite an interesting article - Exponential Growth of Money and Success
Focus, Consistency and Patience - formula for persisting with your chosen path, and not to give up and change paths quickly whenever you hit a bump. Be focused on the big picture and your goal. Consistently do the things which you have to do to get to your destination. Have patience to go through the process. People usually give up too soon before they allow their efforts to transform into results.
Then again, be wary of the danger of target fixation. We have to be flexible and adjust our tactics as we navigate the terrain. If it is obviously a dead-end, then it is wiser to drop that approach and look for a way around the obstacle. Know when to quit and what to quit. The important thing is to maintain the momentum and keep moving forward in the direction towards your destination.

How to do more with less
Friday, July 27th, 2007
Do you catch yourself saying “I’m busy” often ?
I do. Sometimes, I set targets at the beginning of the day on what I want to accomplish for the day. However, as I get through the day, I find my attention distracted by numerous things unrelated to my targets.
An afternoon on a precious weekend can get burnt away quickly just by sitting in front of the computer, surfing mindlessly site after site. The visual stimulation of the internet world is easy to make one think that he has done much intellectual activity. But at the end of the afternoon, what has he gained, truly ?
On one of these afternoons, I came across this article by Willie Crawford on how he manages to get it all done. I think they are good tips, especially these ones which I find pretty useful.
5) Specific times for most routine tasks
6) Set time limits for many tasks.
9) Only “touch” each email once… if possible. When you open
an email, decide right then and there what needs to be done
with it and take care of it.10) Learn to say no…
11) See each project through to completion before starting
the next… Pick a project to focus on, and then work on ONLY that project
for an allocated amount of time, or until completion.14) Finally, know the value of your time. Perhaps the simplest
way to “value” your time is to set an income goal for yourself.
Ultimately, good mental discipline and self-control are the keys to personal effectiveness.

Mark Joyner - Freedom Agent
Monday, June 4th, 2007
I attended the recent World Internet Mega Summit, and Mark Joyner’s presentation made a huge impact on me. His concept of “Freedom Agent” crystallized for me the vision I have been looking for all this while.
Mark Joyner observed that as technology advances, people have more and more free time. However most of us are trapped in the slave cycle, where our main concern in life is survival. Every man in the street has genius locked inside him. Unfortunately because of our entrapment in the slave cycle, we cannot free ourselves and uncover our genius.
He made a proposition that in the future, all of us will have 100% free time. The only way we can do this is to free ourselves, the first priority being financial freedom. This is so that we can get out of the slave cycle and be entrapped no more in time and space.
To realise the proposition, it begins with us. To inspire and strive to be a freedom agent, to have full control of our time, space and destiny. After we successfully free ourselves, we can choose to engage in unifying social dynamism projects - meaningful work to benefit the less fortunate amongest us.

Expand your mind
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007
There is no way other parts of the world can be opened up for you; there is no way that you can release new things out of you, if you do not allow yourself to expand beyond where it is you are right now.
Because as you continue to do the same old things over and over again, you go through the same patterns, you have the same thinking process that you come up with the same old ideas.

Photolurking, blog streaking and cheesepodding: The new Internet addictions
Saturday, December 30th, 2006
The Internet has given birth to a quirky range of modern addictions and maladies, the British weekly New Scientist says in its Christmas issue published this Saturday.They include these:
- EGO-SURFING: When you frequently check your name and reputation on the Internet.
- BLOG STREAKING: “Revealing secrets or personal information online which for everybody’s sake would be best kept private.” - CRACKBERRY: “The curse of the modern executive: not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry, even at your grandmother’s funeral.”
- GOOGLE-STALKING: Defined as “snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates.”
- CYBERCHONDRIA: “A headache and a particular rash at the same time? Extensive online research tells you it must be cancer.”
- PHOTOLURKING: Flicking through a photo album of someone you’ve never met.
- WIKIPEDIHOLISM: Excess devotion to contributing to the online collaborative encyclopaedia, Wikipedia. (Wikipedia even has a page where you can test whether you’re an addict: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Are-You-a-Wikipediholic-Test)).
- CHEESEPODDING: Downloading of a song “so cheesy that you could cover it in plastic wrap and sell it at the deli counter.” Cheesepodders are especially vulnerable to soft-rock favourites from the 1970s. - AFP/sh
