I'm gonna talk about what opportunities mean to me, my very very personal opinion, so what lies below might be offensive to some. You might not agree with me, but well, it's just my thoughts. So if you really can't accept it, take it lightly with a pinch of salt =).

It just happen to stuck my mind that deep down within each and everyone of us, therein lies a pool of opportunities. We are so shaped by the world we live IN. So much that many of us (our parents, relatives, friends, society) are trapped in that perception that a good living life is to do what everyone is doing, get a "stable" income, and live life NORMALLY.

old thinking: amount of time spent = effort = money.

My parents used to tell me to study hard else when I grow up, I'll be a rubbish collector or road sweeper. I study "hard" many hours a day, for like many years, get a degree, find a stable job, earn a fix amount of salary. I am competent, people say I am smart and capable. I now have a stable income just like everyone else, I save up for my marriage, then for my house, then for my kids, till one day I grow old and got retrenched/retired, depend on my kids and go tour around the world.

the above is what a typical ideal thinking of living life to the "fullest".

Reality :

My parents tell me to study hard for the sake of my future else I'll be a rubbish collector or road sweeper. And when I grow up I realise rubbish collectors and road sweepers earn an income too. I study "hard" many hours a day, for many years, most of the time I don't really LEARN what I am studying but just memorising hard for the sake of the exams and I finally got my degree. I found a stable job, a stable income just like everyone else. My friends started a business and are earning so much more, but well I am just being normal. I saved for my marriage, then for my house, half way through I got retrenched from my stable and I am looking for another "stable" job. I saved my money for my kids and their education, I taught them what my parents taught me. They grow up, I grow old. Now they don't want to stay with me, and refuse to provide for me. I am homeless, not to even mention about travelling the world at my age...

The example here is of course exaggerated but it's to amplify my thoughts on this. I am NOT saying that studying is wrong and useless, knowledge is indeed useful. But our focus on "studying" is wrong, exams are used to test our knowledge, not memory.

Ok, why is the topic on Opportunities yet I am now talking about our way of living? Have you ever wondered why out of so many people here in Singapore, only a small percentage are truly successful and rich? Because they dare to venture out from the box (I'd prefer to call it the sugar-coated cube).

Our society & environment (mostly our parents) locks us up in a box, that is thought to be safe. We are now living in a way that locks up our creativity, our adventurous nature, our ability to utilise our brain. It's ironic that our world is so technologically advance yet our brains aren't. Suicide cases are raising sharply by the years, depression and everything else.. Why? Is it because our society is getting too stressful? I believe that it's stressful because our capabilities are still capped as the way it was many many years ago.

Many times ideals, thoughts would surface up to your mind, for me many many business ideas, products, innovations. But we'd normally tend to push it back down. The fear of risk, the fear of failure, the fear of trying. In fact, "trying" itself is a backup to excuse ourselves from a fall-back.

So those that truly successful are those that dared to harvest those thoughts, execute out those ideals, venture out into their creativity, innovate & create.

I believe that God is a creative God, for He created so many stuffs, even to the smallest detail. And since we are CREATED in His image, we are suppose to be creative. And we are, just that we don't really realise it, and even if we do, we don't really like the idea of being creative. But our inner-being is to be creative! Thats why many have the struggle, the urge to be 'different'.

Therefore I came to the conclusion of my thinking that in us lies a pool of opportunities. The opportunity to be great, to be successful, to be rich, to be useful.

If Thomas Edison chose to be normal like people in his time, we wouldn't have stuffs like lightbulbs and electricity.

Maybe I am in no position to say this because I am currently in debt and has achieve nothing yet. But I believe that you won't know until you try. And I am still waiting for the right wind to set my ship sailing...

Dear Friends,

(click for more info)

Lately I've been reading a book my friend, Jinlong recommended to me called, "The Purpose Driven Life, What On Earth Am I Here For?" written by Rick Warren. The book has sold over 16 MILLION copies and it is the #1 best-seller in New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Publisher's Weekly.

I strongly recommend this book because:

Tells you how much GOD loves you (this one reason is already worthy for you to get the book).
Explainations about bible verses.
Cast out mis-conception in most people.
Guilds you step by step to finding your true purpose of living.
Improves your lifestyles, habits, etc..
Build up your spiritual maturity.
Change your attitude towards life.
IT CHANGES YOUR LIFE!!

This book have caused a great impact on my life!

Why?, you asked. After only being through half the book, I'm already a changed man! You need proof? What you are reading right now is the best proof.

Many people at the 1st impression from this blog would say, "oh, its another one of the money-earning blogs". Yes, I don't deny it. Its true, I've just started out and I'm trying to fund my allowance from this place, no doubt about it (and it would only be possible with support from you all).

But that is just the surface level, I do not create this blog just to earn money, earning money here is a secondary issue. The reason why I created this blog is because I felt the need to share with people out there about amazing things happening in my life.

I used to hate writing, my previous blogs were just a whole chunk of blabbers about my life. I post like mountains of wordings that doesn't make sense. My attitude towards myself and people were wrong, I self-pity and was self-centered. Pride matters everything to me. I didn't accept losing, I was a sore-loser. I don't set out to win yet I do not admit defeat.

After I submitted myself to Christ, I read the bible and I learnt alot about God (stay with me, don't flame me yet), about His teachings, the way of life. After reading this book it gives a deeper insight into Christainity life, it teachs me how to live, The steps I must take in order to find the true purposes of my existence. Everything inside is a reminder, a guild to what you should do.

The non-believers after reading this would say, "we do not believe in Christ, therefore we should not buy this book." Look at it this way, do you not buy things you do not need? Do you not buy things that do not benefit you at all? Do you not waste money on brands and worthless items? If you do, then what is spending money on something that BENEFITS you?

This book teaches all about living, the life we were created to live, the morals and attitude we should live by, and NOT simply about being a christian alone. Being a christian and not following the teachings and commandments is not being a true christian at all.

Look at all the benefits, what have you got to lose? Go through a 40-day spiritual journey with me. Don't procrastinate because it would bring you nowhere, ideas and actions just gets accumulated and thrown away somewhere at the back of the brain. Get your copy now.

Sometime ago, my elder brother Zky Dennis, proposed a business plan to me. At the time, we were sorta unready for it because it seems like just a talk-only plan. So we just put it aside and since then our lifes goes on per normal.

But few days ago, it stuck us again to go for it. We've been doing quite some research and reading, we are finally going to embark on a business journey of our own. 1900hrs today my brother and I would be attending a preview seminar by Stuart Tan. For more information about him, please visit: Internetmarketingsingapore.

Help and guidance is very much appreciated. Feel free to email us. Thank you for your support.
Wish me success.
God Bless
