2/3 of 2011 gonez.... what have you achieved??

ahsun: =)

Ask yourself this question, 2011 has already left with only 4 months to go.... what have you done? Are you doing things that are bringing you closer towards your goal or drifting further away from what you want? Are you taking the necessary steps to make contact, talk to people whom you want to know, meet up with old friends, talk to your family, tell someone about your dreams and goals, making things happen???

Life is that simple actually, it's either you are driven by things that you want(PULL), or driven by things or circumstances that you do not want(PUSH)... it's all about balance isn't it...

Come Oct 26th, i'll be heading to shanghai for company trip for 4 days 3 night with manulife. It's a kind of appreciation for the hard work being put in during the past 8 months... but the game is not over yet, we must always aim higher and for the unexpected, which others didnt thought that you could do it;

" Tell yourself you can do it or not, either way you're right!!! "

Something that i learned during my ups and downs in this business; Staying positive might not bring you the results that you want, but staying negative will definitely kill off all opportunities and results that u strive to achieve. Hence, i always take things lightly as i truly believe in the things that i do for others. Just like luck, others always blame it on luck, whether good or bad, but eventually it boils down to 2 things; preparation and opportunity, as i believe that luck is merely preparation meeting opportunity, as we need to be always prepared for chances when it comes, grab it and woohoo!!!

Still alot of things to be achieved, and recently there're also good news within the down days as well;

1. HDB finally approved my Housing Loan for my yishun flat, *phew... now can relaxed a bit and wait for signing of lease to arrive and pick a good day to sign!!! Hahaha

2. I struck TOTO.... so heng

3. Things like looking brighter in work and personal life

4. Building more networks around me

5. Going for my graduation photo taking with family this coming weekend!!!

6. Achieved my 30% tier of bonus for august!! hoooray!!!!

It's always good to share good news with friends who are still reading my blog, i thank you guys for the support; nevertheless, let's work hard towards the end of the year before 2012 comes and achieve all our goals and dreams together!!

Jiayou!!! Quoting from one of the greatest motivator Paul. J Meyer, he said that:

"If you don't have discipline, you have NOTHING!" Work hard and aim high!! =)

" Dreams & Goals Are Outside of Comfort Zone.... Break it!!! "

Updates about me...

ahsun: =)

Have been working non stop since the end of Chinese New Year.... with all the new challenges for the year, i can't help but look back and review what have i done right or wrong, i'm glad i did that no just for work, but for friends as well, relationships, communications, family, and also for myself.

For work, things are starting to move on and i'm more independent to do things in a logical way, helping existing clients achieve the kind of financial planning that they need, planning something within their budget and helping people around me; family, friends, mere acquittances to fulfill what they need.... I'm appreciate the fact that i'm in such a position to help people realize what kind of financial planning they had done and what adjustments are needed for them at the moment, it's always difficult to convince people but it's a challenge.... i truly believe; "As long as you're sincere enough, people will sense/see/feel the effort put in to help them."

For friends, i can say that although i know more people as day passes by, all of us only need 2 to 3 true friends who will tell u upfront if your face is dirty or so; i have been connecting to friends on a much more personal level than before and i appreciate and thankful for this arrangement, i'm able to know my friends better and also know the way i communicate with the people around me, it's amazing to become very observant and to spot out patterns from it.

For family wise, after moving out from yishun, i truly understand the kinds of feeling how my parents feel for me; like for example, my mum will actually tell me to eat at home even though she knows sometimes i'm busy to go home, hence i make an effort to go home at least once per week, to see my cute niece and nephews.... and also my parents and siblings... I have also made a huge effort to organize outings(which i'm quite pro at now) to go for a short genting trip in end june, i hope it can be a huge success to: 1. know my relatives better, 2. Not just meetup with relatives only on CNY, it's a limiting belief and it should be discarded, 3. Bring my parents overseas!! (*Althought my dad needs to work, hence only my mum can go with me) I totally believe that the sole purpose of this trip will drive me to achieve the results that i want....

For me, ahsun, i managed to convince myself that i deserve a rewarding career and the kinds of success that i defined as attaining most of my personal goals; Learning NLP, making it to the top production agents, Consistent activities for my business, Learning how to invest and use my $$$ to put into work, buying my car by end of this year. All these are achievable only if i feel that i deserve them;

- I finish my NLP Practitioner Course

- I'm generating more activities for my biz

- I'm going to attend investing course in options trading this coming aug(Excited!!!!)

AS of today, i'm still fighting for what i want in life because i feel that i deserve those success which i list down for myself. If you think hard enough, what you think might just come true. Therefore, always think positively and create positive outcomes from whatever event that we face!!!

Be hungry everyone!!! =)

Finally.... Here goes the Tiger... Next comes the Rabbit!!!

ahsun: =)

Chinese new year always holds a certain meaning to me.... whenever it's nearing... the feeling will somehow be "Boring" , "No mood" , "Nothing to look forward" etc.... but when it comes... things will be different.... every chinese new year is a new routine... meeting new people... planning new and fun stuffs to do.... new house visiting... new habits to cultivate and new goals.... (*get more ang pow still unchanged)

Particularly... the reunion dinner is a meal which all of my family member gathers together and dine... although we don't exchange much words... but actions... expressions and gestures says it all... our family don't like to talk things out... rather... we use actions to represent ourselves.... "Actions speaks louder than words" ... i think that's quite appropriate and one of the key characteristics within our family culture.... =)

Chinese new year for the coming rabbit year bornes different meaning to me

-> New working environment and more places to visit

-> Relatives from GF side to handle and socialize to know them better (*can also find out more how wendy was when she's young... heehee....)

-> Must start to give parents allowances for the salary i have been getting since i started work

-> New members of the family added (Ashley & Tedric), creating more lively atmosphere at home

-> Start of countdown to taiwan trip in march.... soon... i can fly off sg and embrace taiwan with both arms.... hahaha....

Alot things changes but tradition remains... so probably i will be staying back at home during the chinese new year eve to "Shou Ye", a practice whereby children tries to stay up late so that their parents can achieve longevity.... this year i'll probably get vegetarian for the first day of new year as it's been said that eating veg on new year day itself is equivalence to 3 years worth of charity? hahaha.... worth a try anyway.... heehee....

Bought mostly shirts for new year clothes as i can use them for office wear as well... haha.... bought also a new pedro shoe for myself... yes... expensive but i feel that it's worth it lar... so can splurge abit on myself after working so hard... after CNY... the real work starts... this is just warm up... so must jiayou!!!

Updates:

"Business" - Has been busy running around to do reviews, settle policy admin and clearing target.... Feb will be a super duper busy month as bonus is nearing... must jiayou to achieve it!! heehee...

"Personal" - I don't know why but lately has been feeling motivated and charged up .... already on-going for the past few days le.... i slept like 5 hrs per day.... but still managed to last till wee hrs the next day nighttime... probably is i found my purpose in life.... every steps that i take are now towards my 5 year goal.... so therefore... i'm very very focused on the results and taking massive actions to make it become reality. Already reading up some books recently.... some interesting books i bought are Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people" , "Lee Kuan Yew's Hard Truth" , "Strength Finder 2.0" & from the straits times today... i read about this book which the reporter read about named as "Predictably Irrational" .... Just feel like reading finish them by feb... i'm sure if i put my heart into it.... i will be able to achieve it.... cos i believe i can do it since i done it before in my mind.... =)

Social - Have been meeting up friends whom i never contact, really had a good time talking to them.... updated about their latest happening and also understanding their financial health... it's still the same stuffs... most people don't know or understand what they buy

PS: "Knowing what you buy for a lifetime is totally worth it than what you buy at the supermarket that you use it once and that's it. That's why i emphasize my friends to really understand and see whether the products they buy do they suit their current needs & budget? Because, ultimately, the decision lies on the consumers no matter how well the financial adviser can propose plans to potential clients."

Being in the information age, it's a massive challenge; To get things right and do the right things... people nowadays are equipped with latest information, therefore we need to be at the forefront of our line and be ever ready to learn and listen to people... Most people like to talk about themselves... so we can position ourselves to take on a listening role bah.... and listen more... boast less...that way.... u can make more friends... =)

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!! The new year brings new hope and washes away all bad luck.... irregardless in $$$$, Love Life, Friends or Career wise.... Everyone HUAT ARH!!!! =)
