31 OCT daily celebration: the PRICE of this BLOG... and GRATEFULNESS

GRATEFULNESS.. ALL THIS TIME

dr wang, for your dedication in furthering generations of business leaders in accounting, i'll not fail you.

prof gary chan, for your love of the law, and your willingness to teach me the essential fundamentals of what governs peace and stability in the business world, thank you.

mr tom estad, beauty and simplicity in the business language was what i was always have been gunning for as a poly grad, because i believe that the world is practical and no one has time to read A grade literatures.

prof ma kheng min, thank you for teaching me the importance and essential existence of a leader and the synergy in a team. teamwork not only for goals, but for the ultimate feeling of satisfaction through success and accomplishment, not found in a one-man-show.


for the people who has faith in me, for the kids i love, for my loved ones, for God:

i shall not default on my deadlines anymore,
until and unless something of possibly more importance arises.

117 blog posts in 60 days. is that passion or what? didnt exactl realize it though i took note. awesome!

in the past two months, i have dwelt in the deep recesses of my mind, revisiting my past, my beliefs and values. I've done some hardcore re-wiring to them and gain control of my emotions to my advantage.

and you, the reader, have the fortune of reading most of what flowed through my mind.

thanks to NLP, i'm now a much more powerful being than before. linking that to God, i've always mentally and emotionally limited myself to who i truely can be. i believe NLP is essentially needed to remind this world once again of how much they can truly do with what they ALREADY NATURALLY have: one of it being the incredible brain; the centre of our emotions, beliefs, and values. from which we link it to our spirit's willpower and cenre of consciousness.

the PRICE paid is not cheap in itself, but seen in the light of what i've set my destiny to be, it truly is small. of course the pain is there, and the consequences impactful on my SMU dream.

got my results back today for BLAW

D+

felt bad, felt horrible of course. prob the old me would contemplate suicide, haha.
i take this like a man, and i'm responsible for it 100%. i was still incubating much fear whilst thinking about revising it. afraid i wouldn't understand, afraid the amount of information would be too much for me. and instead of doing something about it, i chose to let it dominate me.

this is the consequence of not meeting a deadline, and i paid for it in full. i've gone past my deadlines many many times, not giving my organiser the respect it deserves.

additionally, i have defaulted on my financial accounting homework. more than 10 weeks to be sure. much regret, stress and worry passed through my mind.

i can go on but i'll cut off now.

I'll never lose to a bunch of people who blames everything on fate, the environment, other people and other crap! -Lenz

the human WILLPOWER

"your faith, then, does not rest on human wisdom but on God's power" -1 cor 2:1-5


i strongly have begun to believe, that the willpower of human, the force which brings many successful people to where they are, the belief that they can, is not based on human logic, worldly facts or some proven science. it is simply from their heart.


it all starts from the question: "do you believe you can? are you willing to do whatever it takes?"


and the biggest motivation from that is this: LOVE. for what they do, for who they are doing it for.

not from logical human wisdom then, but on the natural strong willpower of the human being, created by God. feeling ah, feeling.. u know what i mean?

the PURPOSE of my DECLARATION

although I made the declaration to the guys in my email the other time, I couldn't yet pinpoint why I wanted to be study in a Uni and be its Valedictorian and be a billionaire. I mean, why should I need a degree if I already have a diploma with merit, and I've already decided to be an independent businessman? And why do I need all this money for if I'm not really going to use all of it? Surely an expensive house or car would be in the millions at most right?

Then in mass today, I finally thought it through and linked it back to my mission in Life. A toddler in front of me in the arms of her guardian connected my cause of action.

I'm not here for a resume, I'm not here to train as an impressive employee. I'm not here to train to be a entrepreneur or a budding businessman. What I'm really here for and excites me everyday is that I can get to learn about things relevant to building a business and being a better thinking and thoughtful person. And that's not the main point.

When I looked into the eyes of the toddler, I reminded myself that I didn't want another child in this country, or in any other school of this world, to suffer in studying, like I did when I was younger. I can't bear to see another child having such great stress and difficulty in studying, when learning is really so fun and easy and the brain was MADE to learn.

To cut things short, where I got the simple logic from is Tony Buzan. He believes that learning can really be interesting and fun, and after reading through his strategies for studying, I couldn’t agree more. I wanna advocate his strategies throughout Singapore's system first. And the position of Valedictorian will get people to listen to me, easier and better.

As for an eventual billionaire, I understand that money is the inevitably the resource of my power to change the world. I've decided that my mission in life is to bring down the man-made disaster of the third-world countries: Poverty. No child born into this world should be deprived of the basic needs, and they should be focusing on their education instead of struggling for that meal everyday by working at their young age.

So, I'm studying for the urban kids and working for the poor children. Haha. Love, protect and help them I guess. After al, my Lord said to love my neighbour as myself. No way I'm gonna let my son starve and be under so much unnecessary stress from doing what the human being was made to do: learning.

Protection from God

Many of us, christians and non alike, believe that protection from God means being 'protected' and unharmed by the bad things of this world: the lousy emotions, failures, poverty, setbacks, regrets, uncertainty etc.

However, what He is truly protecting us from when we step out in his FAITH and LOVE, he's telling us that EVERYTHING will eventually be all right when we stand AMONGST the challenging circumstances and results. We just gotta trust Him by clearing all our fears aside.

Quote of the Day

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit."
-- Aristotle

Taking from that...

"The bestowment of Summa Cum Laude is a mark of consistence excellence in learning, everyday of your life. It does not mark an end acheivement in education."

- Lenz

the PURPOSE of obtaining GPA 4.0 consistently:

Which would you rather be?

A: Professional Consistent Excellent Long time Mon-Sun 24/7 (& last minute) Super-stressed Mugger who makes his way to GPA 4.0 consistently?

or..

B: Professional Consistent Excellent Life-long Learner & Applicant who makes his way to GPA 4.0 always? Someone who loves to learn what he is studying truly and has a consistent strategy to go about it?

28 OCT daily celebration: Pre-determined Fate? No Way!

[Accomplishment]

• Established my reasons for wearing my Blazer:
• A physical anchor to remain as cool and calm as a cucumber in spite of ANY problems and make use of my greatest gift from God to think of an effective strategy to solve it: aka Zhuge Liang's fan
• A message to the people around me to be proud of their own self-worth and not be shy/afraid to adorn it with the things that would bring out their powerful character.
• Made a more powerful Declaration to the people I love and wanna to be proud to. For if the people I love are proud of me, they'll have AFFIRMATION with my existence AFTER their ACKNOWLEDGE, faith, trust and support in me.
  

[Magic Moments]

• Enlightened by the life lessons God wanted to teach me:
• Henry Park Primary
• Outcome: Went to Gan Eng Seng instead of favored SJI
  
• To know that true human goodness, unconditional love, original talent and utmost intelligence are not found only in 'good' schools. It is found EVERYWHERE, even in the 'lowest' of them (*cough* Ping Yi, Adam)
• Gan Eng Seng
• Outcome: obtained 38 points for Prelims and 18 for O's
• Lenz is a man who dared to face failure in the face and went to do something to quench his fear once and for all. Instead of accommodating to my fate as a 'good student' and study IN FEAR to avoid facing failure in grades, I disregarded something which I had great difficulty in terms of concentration, interest and LOVE.
• And as Tony Buzan said, such people are LEADERS! haha, a complete turnaround of my anchored emotions everytime I though of the event.
• Stated actions not recommended for current secondary students
• Ngee Ann Polytechnic
• Overcomed with deep emotions that it is very DIFFICULT for a poly student to enter a U and exceed 'bright' JC students (RJC, HCJC, NJC, etc), I was surrounded and almost led to the belief and giving up that I could only work after graduation and be like 'most' of the students, not being able to attend the U.
  
• Fed up with what Life was feeding and how it was supporting me, I wanted to defy all odds and make it to the top of the Polytechnic to enter the U. Hell, now that I think about it, it took me a hack lot of effort (with the wrong strategy) more than a JC student to come to SMU.
• Instinctively uncovered the power to believe in myself inspite of all opposing cirsumstances; places and people. The power to ENABLE me to CHANGE MY FATE.
• Although beaten time and again in my own terms (less than 90% in assessments and not being the best in modules), I feedbacked to myself the reasons for that and discovered most of the time it was due to a fault on my part (not anyone or anything else). Weak cause, weak effect ya?
• Although beaten, in eash semester I would keep thinking of how I would excel this term and be the best in my tests and presentations.
• Although beaten, I BELIEVED in eventual VICTORY (at the end of 3 years), I kept thinking of the NEXT MOVE.
  
• A person will DEFY and DEFEAT life's DEFYING circumstances with hard work FROM Love. Hell, there's no such thing as predetermined fate! We do not have to follow the "unopposing" flow of life! Past X=X Future!
• If you think its impossible, then don't do anything!
• Singapore Management University
• I'll be the ULTIMATE LIVING TESTIMONY that learning can be absolutely fun and easy, with the right STRATEGY TO LEARN!
• I'm not here for a resume, I'm not here to train as an impressive employee. I'm not here to train to be a entrepreneur or a budding businessman.
  
• I'm here because I simply LOVE to LEARN, to EXCHANGE IDEAS TO INTEGRATE into my system and FORMULATE more POWERFUL IDEAS (business, personal, etc) and BELIEFS (reasons and principles guiding the truth and facts). And I LOVE to ATTAIN ACCOMPLISHMENTS to AFFIRM my COMPETENCY, ABILITIES & BELIEFS as a GIFTED STUDENT! ( 'see! I can do it! follow me if you wanna!')
  
• I'm here in SMU to EXCHANGE IDEAS with the intelligent and the wise (professors and like-minded students), to learn the TECHNIQUES to MANAGE businesses and GROW as a THOUGHTFUL ( & ETHICAL) GLOBAL CITIZEN, to care not only for myself and my close ones, but truly for the people I love in this World: every living human being.
• To realize the power of "I Can"
  
• You all just WATCH!
• For that studying kid who deserves to love learning.
  
• LENZ Groups: multi-billion dollar company
  
• PROTECT IMPORTANT FRIENDS CHERISH
• Friends strangers haven't met > EVERYONE in this WORLD!
• For that poor child who deserves to live and learn the about the beautiful world God made for us to live in.
  

[Lessons]

In the past two days, I've felt two sudden intense feelings that was focused tightly on my goal to be the best.

In the Rolex Awards, hearing the speakers say so much of what I ALREADY KNEW and are INSPIRED BY, I wanted to cry so much. It was because even until this point in time, after POE I, two days of POE II and meetings with my NLP friends, I STILL have been HANGING on to my FEAR of imminent FAILURE.

Let go, Lenz, let go. All your fears, all your doubts. Let your Love for Learning, your Love for the People of this World, clear these away. Take action for you Love to do now. All for Love. Period.

When I talked to Shujia, a cute Chinese girl, and found out how easy accounting to her was, what with her high score and last-minute revision and study, I asked myself: "If she can do it so easily, then what about me with my powerful study strategy?" I suddenly felt a shot of confidence and a little regret about cherishing another limiting belief: that FA would be DIFFICULT.

LET GO of this rope of FEAR which has left you hanging in the air of UNCERTAINTY for so long, and DIVE into the deep pool of LOVE, LIFE & DISCOVERY: GOD'S GIFT in all MEN.

Rasengan!

Zhuge Liang & NLP: hahahaha!

as a kid, i've always been wondering why Zhuge liang loved carrying a fan around. in recent years i believed there should be some simple fundamental reason which would be as consistent as the deep frequency which with he carried the feather fan. as a stretegist, as a thinker, i believed that he had to be composed and calm throughout the day to be formulating on his toes the best strategy for the situation demanded.

in other words, he had to be in a CONSTANT PEAK STATE to be carrying out his goals successfully. he had to be in CONTROL of his EMOTIONS. his fan was a simple physical way of doing that!

learning from the great strategist, and becoming one myself, i believe that to help the world consistently, i have to be in control of my emotions and keep the IDEAL state at its peak in the right situation. studying? relaxed, composed and ready to absorb all that's in front. reading? high tempo music for speeeeeeddy reading! trading? all warmed up with the current status of the market and focused and ready to know what to do next, and take action! strategizing? calm and composed also, like a cooling fan would give you!

tales of him waving his fan to summon the elements to destroy his enemies is probably how he put his effective strategies into action while being in a constant peak state helped by his fan, which many thought had mysterious uses. our emotions truly affect us greatly.

don't wait to do something to feel good; feel good first.

thank you zhuge liang for your fan, its a great gift!

"According to a folk tale, young Zhuge Liang is just as emotional as us youths. So his wife made him the feather fan so that he can hide his emotions by shielding his face as well as soothe his emotions and anger etc when things get awry. Overtime, Zhuge Liang became an expert in hiding his thoughts and feelings (keeping a straight face) but he always carried the fan around because his wife made it for him..."

tell our kids! learning: the power to leverage

Learning
primary, secondary, high school, polytechnic, university, masters, courses, options trading, NLP, yada yada..

Outcome
Enlighten our children the ways to

1. survive in this world
2. analyse facts for useful applications in jobs and life
3. further the horizons of knowledge and wisdom of Man > apply > better life (e.g. inventions)
   

Purpose

by enlightening our children with the wonderful knowledge Man has discovered himself over the years to make his Life more purposeful and useful with regards to the people around him and his environment, we have cut down their need to learn to survive in this world independently by hundreds of years!

the essence of Man's discoveries and inventions (e.g. languages, machines, arts, etc) has been compressed into books and organised courses so that students may understand the World better in a short period of time! this is the leveraging power of schools!

"I embark on huge projects to acheive my dreams (x years), I make mistakes (+ x years!), I tried upteen times (++ x years!), I finally discover (+++ x years), I organise & fine-tune into books (++++ x years!)

I teach & you learn the essense of my discovery to be on par with my level and standard of thinking (X weeks/days!?!?).

Time difference to be WHERE I AM = XX YEARS - XX weeks/daysXXX YEARS!!"

e.g. if i took 6 years to learn english, do u think it took 6 years to invent this system to communicate and make it acceptable worldwide (almost)? no way!

**if we can share with children the wonderful meaning of this, that they are saving hundreds of thousands of hundreds to reach a level of great understanding, then surely they'll understand the power of leveraging on te success if past men. what this means is that they'll have a much better understanding of WHY they're learning and studying! they're indulging in one of the greatest POWERS on Earth everyday since young!

Action

Teaching our children and students the essence of the great discoveries of the truth, analysis of facts and principles of the world which took its pioneers years to achieve (english, chinese, math, science, speed reading, economics, anything!) in a matter of weeks!

Measure of success in comprehension

Grades (A+ to F) through-

1. Comprehension & understanding
2. Retention & recall
   
3. Analyse, appreciate & criticise
4. Application into useful ways
5. Communicate a variety of ideas

Kids shouldn't be REMINDED of what grades they should strive for; it is ONLY a MEASURE. Non-empowering (using fear of failure and painful emotions) e.g.:
1. why dont you get an A? an A is very important for your future!!! study to get A's!!
2. see? u so fat! u gain xx kg of fats! can u not be so fat?

Instead, remind them about WHY they are studying, and HOW they are making use of one of the greatest POWERS on mother earth: LEARNING to LEVERAGE on the past successes of Mankind and saving tons of hard work, effort and precious time in the process, where they can invest instead to further the course, "make it better" (e.g. research, development), to make it useful for the good of other men (e.g. engineering), or simply spread the goodness of it (e.g. teaching!)

empowering e.g.:
1. u r learning what took some people hundreds of years to discover! its important to study these necessary items (even if you dont like) because these subjects are what we need to survive in this world (e.g. if you don't learn english, forget about being able to play your video games! you won't be able to read and understand them! [specific relevant examples])

2. not being fat gives you... (remind of advantages, short and long-term benefits). how people who have leveraged on Health led awesome lives.

a reply to an email about my poly-uni choice

exemptions and and express route were not the deciding part of my consideration. they were just bonuses to me. my main objective was to be groomed to be the best businessman in terms of marketing and as an entrepreneur. i wanted to learn to be an analyst and strategist in my personal and professional field of work.

initially, i simply wanted the best education that money could afford: an education in the US. of course, money was the problem and subsequently i was contemplating for a scholarship. however, i knew that i would have to spend half of my time there working to earn my bread, butter and returning my school fees. same goes to Australia; although i would study there for 2 years (at best), i have to pay quite a hefty sum and still work a PT job to earn my daily wages.

my goal was to be groomed as a businss leader in SMU, to work AND LEARN on my job, and not just a part-time job, specifically, to start my own business here (was really excited to learn the S'pore is the EASIEST place to start businesses from Biz Times). figured starting a biz overseas would be troublesome as I wasn't so well-integrated there as comapred to my home country.

ultimately, i figured that it doesnt matter where you study, how many exmeptions i can have or which route is the fastest. the question is: ' which school has the resources and training i can leverage on to give me the best training as a professional and personal leader; to analyse and create strategies not only for businesses but also for personal challenges?'

an intensive 1-2 year course in SIM will probably bring me to a level of a specialised business executive.

the well-rounded education from Ngee Ann poly taught me the importance of learning more than my professional field. though the task of handling less is tempting, i dare say its all a matter of time management and my absolute love of learning something new everyday.

24 OCT daily celebration: i'm not lonely, the lord is with me

upon waking up today, i found myself hugging my bolster tightly. i was excited to get out of bed to go play my favourite things and learn new stuff today, but something held me back.

i hugged the bolster tighter and sunk in my pillow to feel its warmth.

i realized that i missed hugging someone i love. its been a while. i used to hug and kiss my mom every night. kissing someone you love must be a really magical feeling, kinda forgot how it feels. i have truly missed feeling the warmth of being loved by another being. especially the physical bit.

looking at the person i love, smiling from her (ok him too!) heart, knowing that she's all right, also keeps my heart warm.

we were born in love, warm love. we were bred and grown in warm love and as adults need to be kept in warm love too!

i think pornstars and adulterers are really lonely people, having to have casual sex so much to keep giving themselves the temporary feeling of escaping from loneliness. the cash is just an excuse.

thus, presently as an independent bachelor, i have yet to find that special someone whom i can love and feel especially loved to.

so by right, not being able to hug, kiss, feel the warm touch and see the warm smile of someone i love would tear me apart everyday right?

the fact is that the loneliness has been trampling all over my life, keeping me from my exciting work and objectives everyday, distracting me from what i truly love. all this while, since NS, i've indulged in short-term pleasures like sleeping excessively, masturbation and excessive shows to get escape only to feel it again a short time later.

thus, instead of following my study and work plan today, i've decided to sacrifice today's time resource for that to deal with this once and for all, otherwise my life will be taken over by giving in to lust and wasting time to small temporary pleasures.

i wanted to connect loneliness to my purpose in striving to be a billionaire Valedictorian. i was reminded by naruto and dr chiang that the most powerful poeple in this world did not attain their wealth today because they wanted it for themselves, but for one thing: LOVE. for the things we love, for the people we love.

i understand partially that Warren Buffet truly loved investing, which brought him his success, but i'm sure he wanted to gain all the wealth for someone. probably as he has revealed that he intended to donate $30 billion to help in health area for the poor. (hah! i'm gonna donate more than that! and i'm gonna make sure my $ is used the right way!)

i have always known that the Lord is with me. so, y can't i feel the warmth from Him, and instead have to resort to hugging my pillow and masturbating?

the answer lies in my purpose for what i'm doing how. in ngee ann, all the ADs i got was for myself. i was so focused on breaking the belief that i wasn't one of the people who couldn't enter the U that i forgot about my existing loneliness: i missed my mom.

the few actions i took was to go to her house on weekends and even then, was focused on my video games to escape uselessly from school stress. i called her sometimes and visited her office but i didn't do anything to strive for what i really wanted: to live with her.

i allowed my fear of my dad not supporting me financially and the silly inconvienience that my school was far away from Woodlands. so what? to spend time with someone i can relate to is so much more worth it than to stay in an apartment not being able to speak heart-to-heart with someone i know (thank goodness for kevin the brat to release some of my stress sometimes).

now, cos' of the goodness of animes, cartoons and dr chiang, i finally understand today about the purpose for Power. if i strive it for myself, then i wouldnt be motivated so much into doing it cos' frankly, i think my life is pretty stable now. i have options trading and a genius mind to start a slew of business. but the purpose of my entering SMU is to fulfil a promise i made to my mom as a child, and my wanting to be the Valedictorian is to add a huge chunk of success to my credibility. i wanna prove to myself, then to the world there in Life, there is really nothing to be stressed about! many many times, its because we have done something wrong in our daily routine that causes us all the needless stress.

the two most important things i feel right now are these: teaching students the strategy of learning "HOW TO LEARN" before they are thrown all kinds of subjects, and daily motivation and time management.

if i become successful preaching these areas, then no one will ever have to say that studying is difficult and boring, and no one will say that they're too busy for their loved ones for their work, ever again.

so first, i'll have to take on the name of VALEDICTORIAN: to protect the people i love in this World from having to be ignorant about the wonderful resources that they have: the brain (esp. our learning capability, power of completion and emotional states). to protect our future by teaching the children, the students of tomorrow, the strategy to learn, so never will they say that learning is difficult, stressful and boring. learning can be so easy and fun. i don't believe that no one loves to learn about something they like.

'sides, learning is what keeps the brain tickin till old age. look at some of te active elderly.

the things i believe, value and do today will be a direct example of how my sons and daughters are going to live by. if i live by pornography, then so will my son, and i have no reason to stop him, for i couldn't do it myself. if i live by the Bible's values and a strong learning strategy, then quite possibly i can share with him my deepest beliefs and values.

the things i learnt from NLP, the things i learnt from anthony, adam, dr chiang and stuart.

and by 25, i'll strive to be a millionaire, so that i'll never have to worry about not being ablt to meet my basic needs and minimal wants. and my wife and children will never have to. they can focus on the things they truly love to do.

and one day, the kids in poverty will be able to focus on their education and future, and their mothers will need to be worrying about whether their children's homework has been done by them.

time to return to my exciting world of learning and earning tomorrow! oh er.., 0312 hrs now, hehe..

I-ke-ze!

today's been an awesome day.

the PURPOSE of MY BLOG

my blog is for the people who are in NEED to help for direction in their lives. i wanna help them understand the natural awesome POWERS GOD has given to us. it is ALREADY in us and all we need to do is believe in our own powers. if i can do it, anyone can.

of cos, in the first place, you gotta create a need to want to change first. or, if you're just interested or curious...

"He spent time with those society cast aside, and was often criticized by the Sadducees and Pharisees for His habit of hanging out with the "scum of society." His reply was that the healthy had no need of a physician, but the sick did [Matthew 9:12]. Jesus knew that His breath would be wasted on the religious and people of "good standing," but that the poor, the sick, and the sinful were starving for the healing touch of His hand. For the look of pure love in His eyes. They wanted to know the Truth, to experience the outstretched hand of forgiveness the religious leaders would never think of extending to them. Jesus never thought of society's outcasts as worthless, but as important members of the family of God."

The Secret to Movie Making

Incorporate politics, debatable ethics and love in any movie not necessary focused on a subject of interest of the majority, and you have a winner. People love to watch these subjects and values being fought for in movies (e.g. since they fear too much to do it themselves.)

e.g. The Prestige. I wasn't interested in magic or that kinda fake stuff, but appreciated the passion that the characters had in the art and how they fought for what they love in their different ways and value system.

wanna-be directors, u listening?

Belief in Eventual Victory

"Although beaten, he believed in victory, and kept thinking
of a next move.

The power to believe in yourself. That will become the power to change fate.

He knows that, and he knows it instinctively."

Examiner @ Chunnin Exam

Protect!

"You live only once.
You do not have to go the hard way.
You can live how you want, and die as you want.
But...
Do not forget to protect those important to you, no matter what path you choose.
Those you accept, beleive and love from your heart.

Do you have people like that?"

San Dai Hokage no Kohona

Masturbation: Taboo? Protest against me! Agree with me!

Shall tackle the taboo subject that amazingly no one speaks about in society but affects much more than half of us.

I speak from the essential bible quote BUT when you think about it, its perfectly logical:

"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed ADULTERY with her in his heart." Matt 5:28

Q: Would you like your spouse be thinking about having sex with another person? NO right?

When people debate about whether sexual acts like masturbation and self-gratification are 'all right', I ask:

Q: When you perform the act, what are you thinking of?

Lenz's A: Mickey Mouse? Teddy bears? Your nagging boss? Cookies and cream? No, right? You'll probably be thinking about the pretty girl you met today or a fantastic looking modelon the Net.

It is least likely the person will be thinking about his own spouse or the girl (yet married to him) he 'truly loves'. Why? Because it is a fact that living in a secular world, wheter we like it or not, we have been conditioned by the immense business marketing forces that beautiful women have to be of a physical standard to be ad models.

After all, why choose to put them up if not to attract right? There are countless retorts against this point after time but the intent of the businesses have always been the same: to use women to attract and hold attention (men to lust, and women to envy). Being enlightened by the intent of the ads, we can CHOOSE not to be emotionally moved by them in this way.

The very mental act of engaging in an intimate act with a woman NOT YOUR SPOUSE has already made you BEGIN to indulge in LUST MENTALLY. Continuing to indulge in it will only lead to SELFISH PHYSICAL actions like self-gratification (an action in the 'least expense ' of another for now) or in the worse case actually approaching the woman for an eventual sex act, or 'one-night stand'.

Hmm.. beautiful girl i wanna share a night with? Or a woman with fragile feelings like me?

It all BEGINS in the MIND: are you thinking of an intimate act with another woman other than your own spouse?

Yes? Do something about it before it does something to you! You have the power to dominate your lust!

The perfect answer to the way to look at 'sexy, hot' women:

"Jesus calls us to look with love. Men in a church are to "treat ... younger women as sisters, with absolute purity" (1 Timothy 5:2). The reason brothers don't usually lust for their sisters is because they care for them as people. Their relationship goes beyond the physical exterior to the real person who has longings and disappointments, a girl with potential and hope and pain. We love our sisters as people. That is what it is all about.

Job said, "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl" (Job 31:1). How then can I look at her? As a sister. As a wonderful and fragile human being. As a person whom God loves. If I can train my eyes to see as God sees with the love with which God loves, it is hard to look with lust."

Doubts? Ask me!

I'm A Man Who'll Never Take Back My Words! Thats My Way of Living!

I'm going to take on the name of Valedictorian for sure.
Because being the Valedictorian is my dream.

And the PURPOSE of it all, right now as I see it, is to PROTECT the FREEDOM for our future generations to LOVE what they DO EVERYDAY.

Every child should LOVE to study, not fear it.

Kids

"Kids think everything is EASY.
That's why they feel NO SHAME in having stupid DREAMS.
Thats why they DON"T GIVE UP"

The Secret

The Secret for Sucess between knowing and executing strictly and faithfully a theoretical proven Strategycomes from our emotional states, which originates from our beliefs and values about the outcome and purpose of the Strategy.

Strategy <-> Emotional States <-> Success

ES Make Up: Internal Representation + Physiology

Unlimited Fuel for Empowerment: Powerful, Aligned (Beliefs + Values)

Beliefs; your commitment: Do you believe whole-heartedly in this Strategy?

Value; your Power: Why MUST you use this strategy? Why must you achieve this outcome? Who is it for? Your loved ones? Yourself?

My Question Is:

Can you reach the Peak Focused Emotional State to being you through your dreams?

The Miracle of Life

Many atimes, besides learning techniques and strategies form already successful people, we can actually INSTANTLY FORMULATE an EFFECTIVE STRATEGY (HOW?) of our own when we ALIGN our EMPOWERING EMOTIONAL STATE, BELIEFS, VALUES, OUTCOME (GOAL), and PURPOSE (WHY?) to want to DESIRE enough (e.g. urgent or desperate situation). The strategy from this is not to wait for the ideal situation or people to come to remind us, but to take control of our emotional states and drive ourselves everyday to our goals armed with the peak states.

ULTIMATE SUCCESS FORMULA TO INSTANTLY CREATE AN EFFECTIVE STRATEGY:

• EMPOWERING EMOTIONAL STATE + BELIEFS +VALUES + OUTCOME (GOAL) + PURPOSE (WHY?) = ABSOLUTE POWER TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING
  

The current Knowledge and Wisdom in your mental arsenal will act as valuable resources from where you can extract from and combine vital bits and pieces of it to form an effective strategy.

Extra Note: if it appears you're short on time in your current strategy to achieve something, effectively changing a part / or all of your strategy will dinimish the emotion of failure, because the result gotten will be entirely different. You will also be enlightened on the meaning behind your 'failure' and the purpose of the 'new' strategy.

Established My Way of the Word to the World: My Dreams

Magic Moments

Lessons from my Role Model - Naruto:

• Enlightened by the Power of Focus
• Enlightened by the Pleasure of Pain
• Enlightened by Naruto's Commitment to Absolute Success: The Guts to never Give Up.
• Reminded of the 'untamed' (by man), awesome powerful beliefs of kids:
  
• everything is easy
• living on big dreams
• never giving up

• Defeated the thought of masturbation @ its source.
  

2 Absolute Forms of Power

Lenz:

The human's ability to Focus and Commit, having the guts to never give up, to the things he love extracts natural power from himself to excel everyday and accomplish 'impossible' tasks.

Pain

Lenz:

Physical, Mental, Emotional Pain is the way of the brain and body communicating to the Mind that they are going through a PROCESS of CHANGE to ACHEIVE something the Mind has allocated it to do.

It most probably means you are on thr right track! (unless the pain is excruciating..., then you probably did it the wrong way)

Change involves pain. If you are on teh right track, you'll most likely feel it. After the Pain, comes Enlightenment and Power...

Purpose of Goals, Dreams and Purpose: Metaphor

Human beings have a strong tendancy to complete things. Imagine an incomplete circle. Would you say its a wierd shape (somehow it looks like a circle) or a circle (even though its incomplete)?

With goals, dreams and a unfulfiled purpose in mind, we are like creating an empty flask. Our emotions can give us the most empowering motivation and states to 'fill' the flask by accomplising our everyday short-term goals, eventually reaching the brim and fulfiling its 'destiny': being filled.

Simple? Understand and apply, and you'll have the most powerful ability on Earth: using your powerful emotions to fill up empty flasks: your flasks, your dreams.

Further step: imagine how the flask (your dream) is useful: creating value in your life and giving you success, accmomplishment and satisfaction. This will give you excitement in yearning to fill teh flask.

Short term pleasures vs visionary dreams

If we don't take action steps to pursue our most exciting dreams, our short term pleasures, pains and demands from other people will take over our lives. And we'll be living as people reacting to life and circumstances, not living a life of our own design.

Daily Inspiration

So many of us are caught up in the act of making a living instead of designing a life.

-Tony Robbins

my gift to you.

a gift i received the moment i released myself from the stress and pressure of studying in wanting to redefine it:

We live and die by emotions.

You'll never do things you don't love.
Your inner desire for the things you love will always exist somewhere in your heart.

God's purpose for us in this?

Perhaps, to show us the greatest power in Heaven:

L o v e.

For the people we love.
For all things we love.

for that which unconditionally flows from our heart to our entire being. that which gives us unrivalled energy, enthusiasm and curiosity:

L e a r n i n g

What do you love to do? Learn all about it. show it to the World. change the World with it.

everyday love affair

Everyday life is about living a life you love.

doing it.
talking about it.
breathing it.
eating it.
drinking it.
day-dreaming about it.
praying about it.
sleeping on it.
s**t on it.
thinking about it.
indulging in it.

: Lenz

A Snake Sheds its Skin

Does a snake who sheds its skin return to it?

Does a follower of Jesus turns his back after meeting adversities?

Does a changed man return to his old self?

Does the new Lenz miss his old self?

Do you let the little voices of the Past pull you back from your dreams?

"No, it can't be done" "Its impossible" "No one as done it before" "You'll fail, again"

Let these little voices die off, drive them from your sub-conscious.

16 Oct_Daily Celebration

Lesson

• The upcoming 6 hours revising on my work as a good lesson to kick my butt in procrastination.
• Looking at my physical self, reminded that I haven't been keeping fit.

Magic Moments

• There ARE pretty and cute girls who are born on the same day as me! Thank you Lord!
  

Disassociated views are exciting for me!

Haha, the solution was right in front of me all this time!

When I fantasize about myself doing exciting things, I have always prefered to look at it disassociated! The evidence is right in the photographs; I feel good looking at them and thinking back about the times in a similar view! Haha, and I thought it was the other way round! No wonder I couldn't feel good!

Its just like watching myself on TV / movie theater! So engrossed! And its free! haha,

If you wanna know how to change your emos in an instant, you can find me! haha.

Cure for Excess Masturbation (for the religious guys!)

"The one thing that is more exciting than a sexual orgasm is the most exciting dream that we can have for ourselves. It keeps us up at night. Orgasms don’t "- Lenz

Know it?

Lenz:

"When you know who you are, you'll know who you're not. When you know what you want to do, you'll know what you don't want to do."

No work = No Responsibilities = Relaxed enjoyable Life?

Is the equation true?

Short-term (1 year): joy of feeling "free" to do anything you want; "released" from the World's grasp on you.

Long-term (5 years): Your skills and knowledge stays the same or becomes outdated, thus you can only do so much to help change the world into a better place. Limited.

Very long-term (10 years): You become Unneeded. Not only by the World, but your family and friends. No one needs you who cannot contribute much to the World/ country. You become an excess in other people's life. Your gf/wife do not need you. In fact, she might be pulled down into depression following someone who is 'useless' in this World. No one needs you. In fact, you are a burden to everyone. You die a lost, lonely, man who wasted his unlimited potential to idleness and sin.

Wanna enjoy a work-free life? Haha.
Key meaning in Life: What would you still do if you had $1 billion now?

Find your passion. Do it.

the past 9 weeks

the past 9 weeks have been a re-discovery of myself. my beliefs, my values, my goals, my dreams, my purpose in Life. through the power of NLP, i overhauled my basic system of thinking and decision-making. it has not been easy. Even now, i would say I'm only halfway there.

the price i've paid is from the bulk of my school work. lost about 8% from BLAW, 10% from FA, and 5% from COMMS (max). Accumulated 7 weeks of school revision, assignments and some project duties. i've also not touched much of my options trading manual, forgetting about 80% of it.
not been earning any $ either. had been doing more thinking than doing.

but now i'm ready. i'm emotionally stable and in control of my states. its not going to be easy juggling and focusing various roles everyday and striving for the best. but hey, i'm in control of my time right? and i believe adam has faced this before; in fact you might have faced this before.

the most powerful reason i've figured out why i want to be a millionaire > billionaire is this: to use my power (wisdom + knowledge + time + money) to rid this world of Poverty once and for all.

will i succeed? nobody knows. not me. but even if i do not, striving for this goal means that i'll make a freaking hole in the world, mostly occupied by the poor, needy and ignorant.

as superman saves lives with his incredible powers, i pray that my accumulated wealth and reputation over the next 13 years will be able to give every family in every third world country consistent food, shelter and medical support.


amen.

People 'grow' out of it.

I say its pure inspiration, especially to my generation onwards ('84, '85, 86', etc)

Not only that, they are a good reflection of the world we live in.

I'm reflecting more on those so-called violent, good-guy-bad-guy kinda shows.

DC heroes, MARVEL heroes, anime ninjas, samurais and robot pilots, super heroes and brilliant whiz kids.

Questions = Lazer!

Questions are the laser of human consciousness. They concentrate our focus and determine what we feel and do.

A Naturalist in Linguistic Programming

"Adriana Curtis was born without arms, but not without hands. She's proven doctors wrong by living a normal life, working as a computer technician, all while using her hands, which are attached at her shoulders.!" - Ripley's Believe It or Not

Adriana: "Can't is like a negative word. You take all the negative you have and if you change it to a positive. it'll be better for your life."

A Child's Dream

This happened after I finished my paper 'earlier' for Biz Law. The paper was ridiculously easy but I chose not to prep much for it. Last-minute procrastination. My fault. So I was just waiting for the time to be up so I wouldnt look awkward handing up the paper early (my silly unreal, belief, which showed lack of confidence).


What you see above is like a letterhead of my paper, as in most SMU papers, except in B&W. While I was reflecting on a certain regret and promising myself not do do this pathetic preparation for it again, seeing something struck me like a lightning bolt.

It was the word in the logo,

"UNIVERSITY"

I've seen it a thousands times before in my life, since a child, and before this, in the website, in pamphlets, giant ads in the paper and in the letters sent to me.

However, the fact that it appeared in B&W, simple in bold ink and laid out in all traditional exam papers. A child in me spoke out which pierced my heart.

"FINALLY"

"I've finally gone to a University! Finally finally finally! After so long! Mummy must be really proud of me!!" The kid seemed to have shouted somewhere in my heart, his voice deep and profound it impaled my body and shook my emotional system like an earthquake. Then it quieted down to a peaceful state.

I think he's ten to twelve years old, when he realized that the next ten years he was going to study was to get into some place called University of Singapore or something. I remember he thought the big place of Singapore Polytechnic was NUS. I laughed.

I realized that I've been taking things for granted expecting things to happen by itself to accommodate me. My acceptance to NUS, NTU and SMU. My prestigious scholarship. My mom, dad, grandparents and the Lord have been guiding me to this day. To this day. The hardships I've suffered led me to this day. I was too absorbed in wanting to go to the US to study that I've chided my purpose, my raison d'etre, in coming to the U. I've even chided the places I've always wanted to go to after my primary-sec studies: NUS.

[Side thought: Its not wrong that I want to go to the US to study, their open, friendly culture and all, because I've been so turned off by S'pore's: muggers, workaholics with the mediocre goal of surviving on their paychecks and seemingly content to let work take over their lives. Students and professionals alike. However, I've totally forgotten about why I wanted to enter the U in the first place.]

Its not about getting a job. Or a good job. My diploma has guaranteed that (C.O.M. ok?! haha). Its not about boosting my resume or securing the first job or whatever. Its not even about survival, cos' again my diploma has given that to me. I appreciate the fact that its an insurance for a good job, especially if its from SMU, and I do feel the security thinking about the degree paper. But that thought doesnt motivate me to study, Neither does any of the objectives above. In fact it probably stresses me and throws me off my focus and wanting to escape into pleasures like gaming and sleeping.

So why did I strive to enter the U in my pri-sec-poly days?

To fulfil my 10 year old childhood dream since I was 12.
To fulfil my promise to my mom's life work of bringing me up.

Now that I've fulfiled my childhood and my mom's dream for me of entering the U, what's next?

After much contemplation, the most exciting goal I'm passionate about:

To be at the top of the 1% of students in SMU when I graduate in 2010.
The Valedictorian.

Who shall I promise this to? To make that stronger commitment not only to myself but to the people I love, respect, admire, and think alike.

Life is a ...?

Old Lenz:

Life is ............

... a struggle.
... a test.
... a sucky thingy i was born with no choice.
... a difficult thing i have to live with.
... full of problems.
... about earning $, especially when you are born into a developed country.
... a biatch!
... about facing the same old things everyday.
... hopeless.
... uncontrollable.
... about living and attempting to overcome hardships everyday.
... waking up and opening your eyes to your problems and depressive past everyday.
... reading endless text and taking endless tests and exams.

Now:

... a GAME!!

I love to win, against all the other players I see! Like my favourite video game! Haha!

Caring towards others

Ask, Because of this, how will I be able to contribute to others?

-Tony Robbins

Fear....

This broadway actor, with utmost passion fused into his words, tone and body language has impressed upon me the two most powerful words on Earth by Jesus Christ (with his outstretched hands imitation):

"Fear Not!"

Truly, my friends, do not fear of failure or rejection. For if you do not cause an action, there will be no effect. Go forth and shine in your deepest beliefs and values! Your God is with you!


Gotta read book of Luke.

The difference between JC and Poly students!!!

If there has to be a comparision between the difference in results from the JC and poly students, I have discovered one big thing:

JC students tend to take charge of their lives more; they identify what they need to do and they put into action what they plan to do. Powerful!

Poly students tend to do things by 3 ways:

1. Wait for deadlines to come, feel the pinch and incoming pain if they don't pass the subject, and do it (e.g. last minute assignments)
2. Indulge, focus on things that give us short term pleasures.
3. Wait for their lecturers and teachers to demand from them the things they need to do.

Not effective!
So the thing is, why are there JC students who don't do well, and Poly students who do extremely well?

Because if you don't learn to take charge of your life, identifying what, why and how you need to do things, then you'll switch between the two ways inconsistently. Sometimes doing well, and other times not. Inconsistent strategy, inconsistent results.

Start by taking charge of your life today!

Words of Friendship

I always used to wonder why I was so attracted to the way the Americans communicated in real life and in reel life.

Think, One Tree Hill, Smallville, Everwood and 7th Heaven.

On the other hand I was pretty distant from Asian films and tv shows, even local ones.

The Reason:

The words that the Americans use are empowering, encouraging and deep-reaching into our sub-consciousness. They comfort their friends, talk about the big things in life, their dreams, values, beliefs and ideas which come across their heads. Their intention is to show each other and remind themselves time and again how great Life can be.

That's why I have been so sub-consciously wanting to model after their speeches, their words, phrases, quotes, intentions and even body language. I want to the pillar of support and constant reminder to my friends that Life is so beautiful; they should only venture towards their dreams, examine how their present work can serve them in their life and that its more than studies and work. The values and beliefs that our country's government inevitably imposes on us doesnt have to be ours; we are different, not all of us want to be Financially Successful or be Accomplished with a financially promising degree.

That's what I love about the Americans: they talk about ideas, beliefs, values and Life itself.
I know there are those gossipers, paparazzi and what nots, and that is the beauty: you get to choose what you want to believe and lead your life with in the US!

Asians? Just seems that they are so deep into their conservative culture and they escape into other people's lives: gossiping about them, talking about how some other people annoyed them the other day...

When it comes to talking about beliefs and values, they want to say the Right Thing, some in a fear to hurt others; but thats just selling his friends out. Americans, well at least the ones I admire, speak from their heart, sometimes undeniably hurting their friends but deep down inside he knows he's doing this to help his friend to change for the better; and he helps all the way (unlike quite a number of Singaporeans I know who give up halfway because its too difficult or 'can't help him much')! Human beings exist to help one another out; thats part of our grand purpose too; to help the ignorant, the helpless and our next generation.

Thus, the new me:

Since oh so young, i've always been conditioned to speak in a certain way. Brainwashed with having to be 'Polite', I was trained to say please and thank you. However, the Asian culture of not offending another person became so strong in me that every word I say, even until now, is watched under my breath and this intense fear that the person might not 'like' me if I said something offensive. All that fear to displease someone... bleah. If he's pissed at me without finding out why I said it, then screw him.

Suddenly, after watching the 2nd episode in the 4th season of One Tree Hill, it seems so easy to speak to someone I might not know well and have not built rapport with:

Just speak the plain truth & facts, your strongest beliefs and values, in plain, simple english. The Milton model is also a brilliant way to persuade someone to change.

Just speak from your Heart, not your mind; not the "right thing", the least "offensive thing", or the "nicer thing" to please in a bid to please someone, instead of enlightening him. You Heart will tell you what to say, how to say, if you mean well.

Who Are You?

"the strongest force in the human personality is the need to remain consistent with how we define ourselves." Tony Robbins

Remember this - how we view ourselves will either take us to life on THE EDGE or can be our psychic prison (i.e. limiting us)

Questioning our limitations is what tears down the walls in life - in business, in relationships, between countries.

-Tony Robbins

"follow your heart and you'll always do the right thing."

"every world needs its hero to inspire his people to be better than they are."

Martha Kent

do what you know you have to do, Now.

"
After the accident, losing Jimmy, and Keith, what are you waiting for?

All we have is NOW, Rachel. Don't run from this."

-One Tree Hill

Looking back...

God planned for me...

...Depression so I would understand that the greatest enemy I face is Myself.

...a difficult childhood so I would be always Hungry to carry on dreaming and strive for the best that I can be.

...failures (schools, girls, work, etc) so that I can tell the average man that I have been there before and I'm back to Succeed like no man has ever done before. And if I can, they too also can. In fact, my decendents' destiny is to look at me as their role model and succeed beyond me.

...as an observer of my Life instead of a blind crowd follower so I would understand:

• the many Warnings of the World I should avoid becoming (my dad, the average Singaporean's thinking, peers' indifferent attitude towards Life, the workaholic)

• and be inspired by the few successful Examples I would become, and succeed over (Jesus, Bill Gates, Warrant Buffet, Anthony Robbins, Adam).

The first 22 years of my life was to build my character's strengths. The next 13 years will be to accumulate God's wealth here on Earth. The rest of my life after that, will be to use these wealth to enable the World's needy to stand up on their own two feets and support themselves. LKY has show me that its possible. My successuful seniors have done so, now its my turn.

Yan Loves to Eat

"The best thing I lvoe about Shang Hai is that I can eat like an emporer without having to look like one!" - Martin Yan

My Philosophy of Doing

i only do things i'm passionate about, and i'm passionate about what i'm doing. - Lenz

not passionate about something which i have to do? make it passionate! haha!

Upon waking up everyday...

... its a chance for your to make things better in your life. (Past does not equal future)

...ask yourself: how can i be a better person than yesterday?

At the end of the day:

Ask: Have I become a better person today than i was yesterday (e.g. family, my values, my beliefs, contribution to others, investments) ?

Whoosh 19 Graduation!

Power... The Sword that changes lives forever

They are heroes who were in need for Great Power, Great Strength.
To change the world to be a better place.
Fiction or non-fiction alike.

As Rasengan is to Naruto,
As Gundam Suits are to the Pilots,
As Swords are to Shinigami,
As Kung-fu is to Wong Fei Hung,
As firepower is to the military,
As Faith is to the Catholic,
As Focus is to Bruce Lee,
As NLP is to Adam Khoo,
As strategies are to Clemen Chiang,
As Love is to God,
As political power is to political leaders,

So is his Sword of Wisdom, Knowledge, Time and Money to Lenz, in this World o' his.

However, before they had the power to change the World, they had the Belief and Will of
"I Can".

I Can, so I Will.
I Can't, so I Must!

Power... The Sword that changes lives forever.
Will... The eternal source of strength that wields the incredible power.

Everyday, I seek to to sharpen my sword and brandish it with more skill, grace and effectiveness.

I-ke!

Sudden Rejection

Got a rejection from my professor @ 1107 that i cant postpone my test date.

The old me: shocked, depressed, regretful, STRESSED, dilemmatic, in a total loss at what to do.

The NOW me: All that above for 10 mins. then taking charge at 100% responsibility, and finding an alternate strategy, a solution.

gonna talk to him in his office at 1600.

Ok ok... modification on 24-hour Challenge

Under-estimation on my part.

Yet to master speed-reading, i decided to undertake the challenge. the challenge in itself is that its not feasible for me to get a good understanding from attempting to read 20+ pages of information in 2 hours.

Thus, have postponed test to Tuesday tomorrow. The strategy remains the same nonetheless.

A little regretful for the mistake made but moving on!

Deadline: 03-10-2006 1330 hrs.

"Add 2 weeks to your life"

Something that stirred up feelings about my past self:

"Some things hasve to be done perfectly, and some do not. So do not strive for perfection on little details that do not matter. People are usually paid to get results, not to be perfect."

That explains why i used to spend so much time in NP on nitty gritty details in my report and presentation slides, making a project seem to take a longer time than it should.

Of course this does not mean we should not strive for our best in our work. Allocate appropraite time i believe.

Decide. Do it. And do not waste your time on regrets or rehashing decisions, justifying bad ones or salvaging poor time investments that ought to be written off. Use the past as a guide for the future, not as an excuse for not dealing with it."

Ya, so much for regrets...

Challenge! 99% in less than 24 hours!

I give myself a once in a lifetime challenge:

What?
To obtain 99% in Business Law Mid-term Test revising in 14 hours! And you don't need to be stressed to study!

Why?
To prove that its not the amount of time you take to study a subject to SCORE, but the STRATEGY involved in studying!

How?

1. Studying in 2 to 2.5 hour blocks per chapter
2. Mind Map
3. State-shifting
4. Reading to understand the spirit of the Law
5. Reading to relate to real life cases
   
6. Reminding myself that I'm studying this subject because I want to excel in it to reach my exciting GPA Goal (32.0), and to protect my business with basic knowledge of the Law!

Stay tuned to this blog to await my results! I-ke!

*Warning*: Not to be attempted by the faint-hearted and easily stressed!

how must i change me life to feel less pain?

have been sacrificing too many things that are important to me for equally important aims.

missed 3 days of POE Module 2. gonna miss mass today.

in return, i'll get: better revision and focus in one place to design my destiny, plan my current and future financial status, and revise to get 99% for BLAW!

Modification: stick to what i have scheduled earlier, FERVENTLY.

my 1st comment after a long time! yes! euphoric!

"want a better answer in Life? ask yourself better questions!"

speaking like jesus and a NLP person

when i open my mouth to speak, these are the things i wanna acheive:

1. speak truths that bind us all (e.g. we all want to love and be loved)
2. lean on evidence and facts, not personal biased opinions/unproved gossips and rumours

Driving Race Cars and Driving Your Life!

You know the secret to making those 'impossible' turns around the sharp corners in racing?? And in Life?

The biggest mistake newbie drivers make is that they FOCUS (turning their head and looking at) on the WALL they are so FEARFUL to hit into. Thus, they drive... into the wall!

However, the biggest secret (which takes time to habitualize into, but we can all do it) is that they keep in FOCUS on the ROADWAY they wanna go to while making the turn. Thus, they drive.. around the sharp corner!

Similarly, in LIFE, instead of keeping in FOCUS the "WHAT IFs" or the TERRIBLE OUTCOMES your decisions might give you, FOCUS on your IDEAL OUTCOME!

Takes time, but if you do this, your LIFE WILL CHANGE.

want a better answer in Life? ask yourself better questions!

Thinking is nothing but the process of asking and answering questions.

i respect thinking a lot by doing that A LOT.

'+' Outcome: i have set up a stonger system of discerning choices and catering for Life's contingencies.

'-' Outcome: take too much time to cater to contingencies and ensuring my decisions are the right one! Asking myself 1001 "What if's?"! Worrying too much about fear! Indecisive! Dilematic! Distracted to short term happiness (e.g. tidying table) instead of long term goals cos' i worry about them too much!

Old: "Ya, good idea > er, what if..." X 10, 000 times
(thinking too much about how worse it can be)"

New: "Ya great idea, i can imagine how awesome this will be! > ok, shouldnt be a problem right?" > "Lets do it!"
(Seeing life AS IT IS and how better it can be!)

thinking "Positively" is not about looking at life in a denial way ("oh, the exam is easy" [whether i study or not]). its about looking at life AS IT IS and how it can be better (The exam is going to be challenging, how can i be 100% ready for it to obtain 100% marks?)

Starting TODAY, ask yourself QUESTIONS that ENABLE you, not disable you.

If YOU understand what i'm talking about here, you have learnt something invaluable.
