Never Give Up for Success


Success is a word predominantly linked up with your Dreams, this is because if one to success in life you have to write down your dream. A dream is just a dream until it is written down. Only then does it become a goal. Wow! Hope you like to hear this, and maybe first time to know that if your dream is written down that becomes a goal.

Little further I know through the eBooks I've read that “goal” is a contract, and the same should be based less on what I want to do and certainly so on what I have promise to myself that I have to accomplish. Moreover, my readings landed me to know that true success in life can only come by not settling for mediocrity.

Then on, it put me to think and does reminded me, I should always strive to achieve and get the most out of life that I possibly can. This not just easy as statements run considering I have to push myself and give it all I've got can I then give myself a some sort of treatment for a job well done.

Climbing steps after little steps I gradually see the effect of following my goal. And the same made me think and so I reflect that success in life depends on self-discipline and not giving in at the first hurdle you come across or going into a project only halfheartedly. In my case, I keep pushing myself that little bit further which in a little while surprised me at what I am capable of achieving.

           And to be honest, which I don’t have inkling to shy on saying that I able to conquer my fear…that is the fear of publishing my name online and submitting some digital article using first person in my blog post. As I remember that publishing digital piece of writing does not necessarily mean I have to be “the absolutely best”. It simply indicates that I know more than most about a certain subject, and that I am most willing to share the knowledge and/or information with others.

I trained to share information much more on acquiring the same as my previous work classification in serving the Government of the Republic of the Philippines. Yet sharing such acquired-information passes a Classified Security Protocol in the arena of Intelligence and Security. In contrast here in the digital world where a border-less mode predominates, and you’re free to manifest your intention provided that within the bounds of law.

Inadvertently, by pushing myself little bit further, hence, my digital presence that signal my modest success. Aside from a naive assessment over the road map I undertake, the road is clear and bright and the same is achievable that I can attain my goal in due time. Simply put, I should commit to continue to study and learn not from the portals of traditional school yet through the tools of Information Age.

My readings, I consider the same as a paradigm-shift, which bumped me into the world of great people. And I allow me in to quote Napoleon Hill which he said “there is far more gold harvested from the minds of great people that can ever be unearthed from the soil. By that alone I have to stay on to my goal, stand to my toes, and focus on the job at hand.

             Among other remarks thrilled me on is the one which given by Evander Holyfied:
              “if you focus on the blows you are receiving, the only place you’ll end up is on your back. I never put much attention on the damage I was getting”. 

“I only focused on the damage I was inflicting.” “I felt the punches but I never lost my focus on the job at hand. That was to hit my opponent back …but even harder”.

           And to reflect the aforementioned remarks from the world champion that the same applies to life in general. “Try to look around and hear so many people focus on the hits coming their way. They watch the news that tells them how bad things. And they listen to their friends who are unhappy in life. To put it  this way, people focus on how many blows they are taking, when in fact, they should change their attention toward fighting back and staying on their toes”.

          I heard a lot of people in unison declaring to the effect they want to succeed in life at all cost however, finch of the flock enthusiastic to physically and actually push themselves little bit further to achieve their goals. In so observing I made to conclude that I have to think differently other than the majority are doing.

         How well you succeed is all about how bad you want the success, what it means to you, are you willing to succeed a little or are you willing to go the whole way and beyond to achieve a higher status and be outstanding?

Among other catalysts to success is the pain, the pain of poverty fueled me on to strive smarter learning new concepts and tools in the new economy.

I embarked and tune in my mind for success with that set up I find a way to overcome any obstacle just to succeed even in the most problematic circumstances. That I firmly believe and so continue to believe to the wise saying “solutions to most problems come from one source and one source alone, yourself”.

Great people in history to include successful entrepreneur in our time don’t just rely on pushing themselves. They are all winners, and you may agree with me that mentioned winners have a customized approach. Aside from they are keen with all might on their way to success.

To chart my road map to success I consider the provision to meet with temporary defeat. You know, I have to acclimatize to these unexpected happenings when they occur and refuse to succumb the quagmire of extinction. I have to take them in my march to liberty, skip around them and continue in the journey.

I quote in here a verbatim reproduction taken from an eBook I selected with a purpose from the Supreme Wealth Library, and I do believe you like it so for your information and judgment.

Here are some tips to help you remember never to settle for anything but your best no matter what the project is.
• It doesn't matter how big or small the project put your all into getting it completed
• If you think you have given it your best shot, pause and ask yourself “could I improve”
• Plan our your project but always be willing to make changes and work your way around the unexpected
• It’s OK to pause but get back into the race and carry on until you pass the winning post.

So you feel tired and bored eyes reading this digital piece… allow me to dwell on further expressing my emotion. Well as my opportunity appeared in conveying a sort of query that manifest on “What is really our purpose of life”, it may sound religious yet it is akin on the adage “success is a journey and not a destination”. It is about discovering our ultimate purpose and pursuing it with everything you have and everything you do”.

I inquired on what is the purpose of life; my only intention is to connect the aforementioned query with the content lesson I want to share with you. And that lesson is about never giving up, about having the courage not to quit even when you feel you have no other choice.

Some people quit in an endeavor, which also I did in the past, certainly due to failure unearthing the definite life purpose, don’t have something worth to struggle for. Fighting with a purpose in life, which is to attain success and be a blessing to others.

         My existence teaches me to find my purpose of my life, in which way I have to struggle behold and overcome the same. The same with my marriage, when times get tough, I am more committed, and more likely to seek a resolution and attach it out because I am dedicated to it.

In find, you may ask “hey Jay Tan what is that success you’re talking about”? Surely, my answer maybe irrelevant, immaterial and/or misleading in your end, as these words frequently uttered by lawyers in arguing their cases in court. However, in my very end that success I keep mentioning in this digital piece is my blog…

The existence of my blog is not an accident; I dream, aspire and acquire it. And ultimately you can know read the humble substance even if not so alluring to the eyes yet I am learning on arriving an awesome one in due time.

My Quest to Financial Literacy

        My baptism in the arena of financial literacy so to speak started sometime 4th quarter of 2011, when I got hold a book entitled 8 Secrets of Truly Rich by Bo Sanchez. On the same book I’ve learned the need to expand the so-called psychological wallet. Knowing terms such as exponential and passive income are best compared to an active one. However, aforementioned book in its totality has thought me to think differently in the perspective of utilizing material things to uplift my spiritual existence.

        Financial literacy is paramount affair for man to take while traversing and attaining the dreams of his life. I subscribed that financial literacy cannot be obtained through formal schooling. So without delay, I embarked on a journey towards financial literacy, simply means reading books that would introduce me to personal finance, growth & development.

        As said by those successful in their field of endeavors, in order for one to be in the line and ranks of triumphant fellow requires the same to read materials of value such as book and/or eBooks, listening audio. Reading materials geared towards strategies with the end view and objective to escape the rat race.

        Then on, I was lucky enough to have a neighbor, who owned numerous titles of financial and motivational books. The 1st and 2nd quarters of 2012, were then inadvertently spent readings those materials and navigated unto websites of interest. I read and re-read without entertaining that I already finished the Rich dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki to include his Cash Flow Quadrant book. Worth mentioning the book entitled The Magic of Thinking Big, and also Napoleon Hill’s books. I engrossed in obtaining significant input from readings books endowed with strategic value.

        In gradual fashion, the readings I have had naturally assimilated centering on the unity of my mind and     body, which simply means to put those reading inputs into action project/s. To say the least, a kind of business project that the system and money will in either situation handles the works all for you and me. In this juncture, my readings paid off, I convinced my dearly wife to invest at the stock market via online investment tapping Col Financial Group, Inc at www.colfinancial.com to serve as our online broker. I was then confident because my neighbor, the owner of http://www.stockmarketladder.blogspot.com invested years ago. Together with his wife, they shared on their experienced over online stock investment, and introduced the aforementioned online stock broker.

         My neighbor, Jessie & Eve provided input about peso cost averaging in stock market investment and the importance to have a mentor.  A mentor who will provide the investor in simplest terms possible on what stock and company to invest in, and will also provide alert message via email on when to sell previously owned stock and what stocks to buy in. The informal briefing led me on to the Truly Rich Club of Bro. Bo Sanchez.  

         To give meaning and effect of the readings I indulged in also with the wholehearted mentorship of http://www.stockmarektladder.blogspot.com  and with the concurrence of my dearly wife, I engaged the services of www.colfinancial.com sometime June 2012 as my online stock broker. And with the strategic input of Bo Sanchez on Strategic Averaging Method (SAM) or otherwise termed the Peso Cost Averaging through the Truly Rich Club I selected the stocks of great companies listed at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).

         Honestly, I just started with a minimum investment of P5, 000.00 which every month thereafter I invested in, which situation I became a virtual business owner. Since then, I relocated myself to generate multiple streams of income, and I preferred the passive one.

         Talking with earning passive income, my online friend and a mentor Manny Viloria, who runs www.viloria.net  shared considerable informative strategies relative on generating passive online income . You can navigate at the links provided and thereat plug-in yourself.

         In sum, in the event you have some sort of queries vis-à-vis financial literacy, and with respect on the online stock investment, I am most willing to share input based on my actual experienced over my humble tools at http://www.barelylegalphilippines.blogspot.com and/or email me at tan.hayjie@gmail.com whereby free eBooks awaits! Remember that “the illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn”.

         Let me end by sharing with you this insight from Robert Kiyosaki's lecture on the New Rules of Money.

Resilient Rule: Read the Writing on the Wall

        In my quest to share to you best story with the end in my mind that you can harvest and /or obtain significant moral lesson in it. And so, I began thinking searching and on the best story I have to share , and the two actions I've executed produced result, hence, this story from Dr. Steve W. Price in his book “ How to Bounce When Others Break”.
X---------------------------------------------------------------------/
        Let’s start with the story of Belshazzar, from which the expression, “read the writing on the wall “originated. 

        While participating in a drunken palace feast, King Belshazzar of Babylon used sacred cups and vessels plundered from Solomon’s Temple to propose toast and sing praises to hi pagan gods. Immediately, a supernatural, floating hand wrote several words on the palace wall. 

        The king’s astronomers and magicians couldn't decode the strange script, so the king sent for Daniel, an exiled Jew, who recognized the Hebrew script and interpreted the words to mean that God had weighed the King’s transgressions and decreed his dynasty and his days on earth were coming to an end.  

         That night, Belshazzar was murdered and his kingdom divided. 

Resilient People Read---and Heed---the Warning Signs

         Let’s take a moment to look at some resilient people who bounced, while others broke, because they studied the gathering storm clouds while the masses were still wearing sunglasses.

To Bounce, You Must Act
          A similar story happened to a real-life of Gorge, who escaped from Hungary in the days following the failed 1956 Hungarian Revolution. As an 18-year =-old college freshman in Budapest, Gorge took part in the protest march and spontaneous riots that broke out in the capital city on October 23.

          He passed out flyers demanding freedom from Soviet rule and was active in making bombs to attack the hated secret police. At first the Soviets gave in to student demands, loosening their grip on Hungary and installing a president sympathetic to reforms. 

         But fearful the nascent rebellion would spread to other occupied countries in Eastern Europe, the Soviet leadership cracked down hard on the Hungarian dissidents, sending a thousand armored tanks and 30,000 troops into Budapest.

          Gorge knew his days in Hungary were numbered. At best he’d be sent to a Russian concentration camp; at worst he’d face a firing squad. He read the writing on the wall and made plans to flee the country. Recognizing that the Soviets would concentrate on securing the cities first.

          Gorge and there of his best childhood friends escaped over a rugged mountain range into Austria. Gorge worked and saved money to pay smugglers to guide his parents and younger brother through the heavily mined border to join him in Austria. 
Gorge’s family and three best buddies all eventually relocated to the United States, where they all took advantage of their new found freedom and free enterprise to open and operate successful businesses. 

           All told, 200,000 of the 10 million Hungarian citizens escaped to the West in the months following the October 23 riots. The rebels who didn't act by fleeing were put on trial. Within weeks the Soviets imprisoned 40, 000 Hungarians for treason; the 400 most visible leaders were executed by firing squad, and hundreds more “disappeared” and were never heard from again.

           Today Gorge is comfortably retired in a modern three-story home (designed by one of the childhood friends who escaped with Gorge in ’56) fronting the Intracoastal Waterway in St. Pete Beach, Florida. He‘s still active in business and active in the lives of his three children and several grandchildren.

          What About the Writing on Your Wall?

          We’re all confronted with the writing on the wall, and that writing is always personal and it never goes away until either we act on it or it acts on us.

          Take a moment to read the writing on the wall of your life. You know it’s there. If you've been ignoring it, you’re preparing yourself to break when you could be bouncing.
         
          Maybe the writing is warning you about your child’s loser buddies.

          Maybe your spouse is increasingly distant and quite.
          
          Maybe your blood pressure is inching upward toward 140…150…160…

          Maybe your “secure job” isn't so secure anymore.

          Maybe you avoid answering the phone to avoid calls from creditors.

         The question is, in our end what are we doing about the writing on our wall? Yes, it’s easy to ignore or deny the writing. And yes, it takes a bit of courage to act. But resilient people act in the face of negative news. The sooner you act, the better change you have of avoiding disaster. 

          Hope you enjoyed the story, and just only to impart this as a brotherly reminder that “you can ignore the Writing, but you can’t erase it”. 

For Your Success!
