As I have stated in my year 2010 posting that I have a personal reading goal of at least 15 books per year, this year is quite similar as I have managed to read more than the amount that I have set. However, I did not read very intensively in year 2011 compared to year 2010 as I have set priorities in other areas like taking up real estate courses and creating my new housing in Singapore site.

Personally, I start to love the library and the books as they provide a lot of useful information for me to enjoy. Recently, I watched a youtube video by Darren Hardy which my colleagues shared with me that made me ponder about how to make use of the knowledge that I have gained from the books I have read. I think I might have to start learning about taking notes like a student and implement the useful information that I have found in the books into my personal life. …..Click here to read more

Personally, year 2011 is quite an interesting year for me. I have traveled to two different countries through flight and it is my first time enjoying the airplane flight twice in a year. I am pretty happy about the two different trip as one let me see a relaxing lifestyle while the other taught me about the importance of story.

On the other hand, I managed to make a consistent 3 figures income through my internet marketing venture and when I thought everything was going on plan, the google panda update came in and my income was slapped to close to nothing left. Luckily, I do have a backup plan on mind which was to learn to become a real estate salesperson. In my heart, I knew that affiliate marketing was not something I loved to do as I did not have the passion to write those articles of the different niches. After taking the course of real estate salesperson, I realized that what I wanted to learn and do has already revealed itself. In the end, after passing the real estate salesperson exam, I decided to create a housing site with a few partners called Housing in Singapore to become an expert in this industry through the use of internet marketing (which is what I have learnt so far). …..Click here to read more

Are you comfortable with dress smart? Do you realize something about dressing smart do help in boosting our self image plus confidence through the eyes of others and even ourselves. Recently, I have started changing my way of dressing when going to work and I was astonished by the looks and questions of my colleagues in my working areas. The reason for the change of dressing was because I am actually preparing myself for my upcoming career path (Real Estate Salesperson) and I did not really inform a lot of people at my current workplace yet as I do not want to spread the words too soon until the day I am about to leave. …..Click here to read more

Recently, I watch this movie called “Coach Carter” and was pretty inspired by the belief that the coach inspired on his team members. Therefore, I decided to share with you this movie that I felt is a must to watch if you are really on your journey to success. I do learn a lot of stuff from this movie itself as personally you can learn how one person can change other people’s lives if he has the belief and persistence. There might be a lot of negativity along your journey but you must really stay persistent with your principles to let other believe that you are providing the values and help.

The following is one of the most inspirational coach carter quotes in the movie:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. 

Personally, I am in the transition of moving from a stable job income to become a real estate salesperson which would not have a basic pay as it is fully earned by commission service basis. I do feel the fear in me as there are a lot of commitment in life that I need to keep and it is a new field that I will endeavour . However, I also know that this move will bring me greater experience and challenge to become someone with more confident in myself. There are a lot of fear that I see in myself but I do believe that I will do great along the way if I stay firm with my belief that I will succeed in my journey to success. I will definitely meet more greater people in my journey and I do hope the sites I have created will provide values for people along the way. Do check out and support my housing site at Housing in Singapore. If you have a Facebook account, hope you can support my facebook page at by liking it through the following link at Housing in Singapore. Cheers.

Have you ever been inspired by someone or someone’s product? Personally, I have been inspired by Steve Jobs’s famous quotes,  speeches and even his apple products that he had introduced when he was still around. This post is a tribute towards the recent death of Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011). Thanks Steve for travelling the extra mile to make a difference in people lives by creating great product and saying inspirational words for anyone who is on the journey to success. …..Click here to read more

Recently, I have found this video on youtube that I feel that I should share it with anyone who is reading my blog. Personally, I learn quite a lot through Jim Rohn’s audio books and videos and I feel that we should really learn from him about the lessons of life.

Words from the video:

There are a half dozen things…
…that make 80% of the difference

The difference between triumphant success or bitter failure…

…lies in the degree of our commitment

..to seek out, study, and apply those half-dozen things.

Learn to be happy.

Happiness is activity with purpose

It’s love in practice

It’s both a grasp of the obvious and the mysterious.

Discipline yourself

Discipline is the most critical ingredient for success.

It’s the master key that unlocks the door to wealth and happiness…

…the glue that binds inspiration to achievement…

…the bridge between thought and accomplishment.

We must all suffer from one of two pains:
the pain of discipline
or the pain of regret

The difference is discipline weighs ounces
while regret weighs tons

Embrace change.
Unless you change how you are, you’ll always have what you’ve got.
You can change all things for the better
when you change yourself for the better.

You cannot change your destination overnight,
but you can change your direction.

Live well.

Don’t just learn how to earn.
Learn how to live.
The good life is not an amount.
It’s an attitude,
an act,
an idea,
a discovery.

Remember always…
Life is worthwhile
if you TRY.
Try to make progress.
Try your best.

Life is worthwhile
if you GIVE.
Giving starts the receiving process.

Life is worthwhile if you PLAN.
Design your own life
or someone else will.
Let others lead small lives,
but not YOU.
Let others argue over small things,
but not YOU.
Let others cry over small hurts,
but not YOU.
Let others leave their futures
in other peoples’ hands.
but not YOU.

Personally, I am pretty delighted when I first received my results for the Singapore Real Estate Salesperson (RES) Exam as I managed to pass it with just one try. I am considered lucky as I have classmates who have taken it for a few times before passing it and some of them have not even pass it yet due to their lack of English understanding especially those older generation with their first language as Chinese. Anyway, I am going to share with you how I managed to pass the exam with just one try. I hope this post will be beneficial to those who are currently taking the RES exam as it comes from my own personal experience of taking it.

Before telling you exactly how I managed to pass the real estate salesperson exam with just one try, I have to highlight something to those who are taking my tips to prepare their res exam. Please don’t take things too hard and put the blame on me if you didn’t pass the exam after following my tips as it is really all based on your own understanding. Just remember to have faith in yourself that you will definitely make it if you put your heart into studying it. …..Click here to read more

Have you ever watched before the movie called “The Karate Kid” by Jaden Smith with Jackie Chan. It’s a really great movie with a great song sang by Justin Bieber with Jaden Smith rapping part of it. Recently, I got to hear the song “Never Say Never” again and it makes me wanted to find out more about it’s lyrics. After going through the song lyrics, I felt that I should share it with all my readers who are also on the journey to success to learn from this “Never Say Never” attitude.

Personally, I have read before quite a number of self-help materials and most of them are mentioning about persistent is a very criteria towards success in life. Therefore, I felt that this song really suits anyone who are on their own journey to success. Whenever you are feeling down, just remember to sing this song in your heart to remind yourself to never say never from giving up so easily.

I have attached the “Never Say Never” youtube video here for you to listen to the song if you have not hear it before. While listening to the song, refer to the lyrics below to get a clearer idea of what I am actually talking about above.

Never say never
Never ever, never, never ever, never ever

See I never thought that I could walk through fire
I never thought that I could take the burn
I never had the strength to take it higher
Until I reached the point of no return

And there’s just no turning back
When your heart’s under attack
Gonna give everything I have
It’s my destiny …..Click here to read more

Recently, I have been pretty self busy with my mind as there are a lot of thoughts flying through my mind. I feel a bit overwhelmed with my thoughts that really makes me feel so tired about thinking. However, I do remember hearing an idea from Tony Robbins’s material about the why and what questions that we keep on asking in our mind. The main difference between the WHY and the WHAT questions that we prompted ourselves is that one will make us become inaction and another will make us start moving and become motivated. However, make sure you are asking quality questions on yourself in order to get quality answers. Okay, let’s compare between the WHY and the WHAT questions and you will see the differences. …..Click here to read more

Recently, I got a self-thought idea about this question about whether am I giving in to myself too much. I do not know whether do you feel the same way to yourself or not but I do have this kind of feeling that I am giving in to myself too much. I do not wake up on time or finish the things that I am suppose to complete and also delay my schedule of things on hand due to other things that surface up in my life. I do not know whether are you feeling the same way as what I am feeling.

Anyway, let me ask you a question about whether will you be unhappy when your friend is taking advantage of your kindness. If you are feeling unhappy with someone or something, it is because you got your own principles and belief that something or someone should behave a certain way. Therefore, you do not tolerate the way others behave and will not give in to how they behave. However, do you treat yourself with the same principles and belief that you put onto others? Are you expecting yourself to behave the way you want others to behave? If you do expect yourself to behave in a certain way and do not wish to change your belief on yourself when unexpected things comes into place, you have to start to learn how to discipline yourselves to get more aware of your own actions and decide whether you are giving in to yourself or not.

Personally, I feel that in order to achieve what I want in my journey to success, there will definitely be a price to pay. I must not be able to easily give in so easily to my own wish when things occur in my life, I do have to stay firm to my own initially plan and follow through in order to gain the pleasure when see the fruits coming in after bearing through the hardship. Currently, I have settled down to set my definite chief aim in life after thinking through Napolean Hill’s philosophy and I will start to put things into place to fill up the blanks. Will update here again once I start to put the pieces into place. Cheers.
