To be successful, look for this woman......


No man can succeed alone and no woman can be happy herself. We need each other. Just like this famous proverb says... "For every successful man, there is always a woman." And I have to add on, "For every contented woman, there ought to have a successful man behind."

I always encouraged all ladies and their men to assist each other. So who is the rightful woman who could help her man to be successful. Is simple yet is so difficult.

The woman who could support her man to excel in life, is one who could inspire him with love and afffection. The inspiration comes with constant motivation and encouragement for her man. By himself, he might easily give up his desire and dreams. By himself, frustration could lead him to failure. By himself, he could not see the inner thought. By himself, most obstacles and problems could be difficult to solve. The beauty of the woman he loves is different. Cause the charm and tenderness of love from this special woman could brighten an upset mind, and the sweet and inspiring words could motivate his desire to move again. No other person is willing to offer this assistance constantly, except the woman who truly loves him without condition. Yes! As I said earlier, is simple yet so difficult because where to get this special woman! And that's the reason most men find it difficult to attain success in their lives. 

For the gentlemen. In case if you have the woman now, be fair to her. Love her madly and be sincere with your love. Never take her for granted and treasure her like a diamond. Cause at the end, she would lead you to achieve success and happiness. 

BUT remember... "Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman too."

Make a decision promptly....


This simple proverb helped two of my friends last week.... "Is not wrong to make a wrong decision but it's very wrong not to make any decision."

A business friend was having sleepless nights because his business was failing. He had spent a lot of money and effort on it. His pride refused to let him to discontinue or close the operation. He thought by some connections, he might make it again. However he could not make a decision, until when he had a chance to meet up with me. I advised him with the above statement. A 'yes' or a 'no' is a decision but by not making a decision is definitely wrong. Not making a decision would depress the mind. 

Next day, this friend called me on the phone. He said he could sleep very well last night because he had finally made a decision to close his entire business. He need not have to think about it any more.

Another younger friend was facing another problem. He was living in anxiety because he darn not approach a girl he likes. He has known this girl for a couple of weeks through another good friend. He knows her phone number and yet was afraid to call her. He wanted to invite her for an outing, but was shy and afraid to date her. In silence he kept thinking over her. With encouragement I offered my simple proverb to this timid man. If you don't make a decision to call her, you won't know whether she likes you too. 

A week later, when I saw him again, I could see his face was smiling. Reason... He had finally decided to call the girl who didn't hesitate to accept his date willingly. 

So, the next time if you ever face any problems, please remember this quote.. "Is not wrong to make a wrong decision but it's very wrong not to make any decision."

Why Condoms are Packed 3, 6, 12 to a Box.......


Sunday laugh....


A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year old son. They
happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks,
"What are these, Dad?"

To which the man matter-of-factly replies,
"Those are called condoms, son.... Men use them to have safe sex."

"Oh, I see," replied the boy pensively. "Yes, I've heard of  that in health class at school."

He looks over the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks,
"Why are there 3 in this package?"

The dad replies, "Those are for high school boys. One for Friday,
one for Saturday, and one for Sunday."

"Cool!" says the boy.He notices a 6 pack and asks,
"Then who are these for?"

"Those are for college men." the dad answers.
"Two for Friday, two for Saturday, and two for Sunday."

"WOW!" exclaimed the boy, "then who uses THESE?" he asks,
picking up a 12 pack.

With a sigh, the dad replied
"Those are for married men. One for January, one for February, one for 
March......."

The boy shot back, "Then I am not going to get married!!!!"

The New Hat..................



I LOVE THIS WOMAN
An elderly lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship
holding her hat tight so that it would not blow away in the wind.
A gentleman approached her and said,
"Pardon me, madam..
I do not intend to be forward but did you know that your dress
is blowing up in this high wind?"
 
"Yes, I know," said the lady.
"I need both my hands
to hold onto this hat."
 
"But madam, you must know that you are not wearing any panties
and your privates are exposed!" said the gentleman in earnest.
 
The woman looked down, then back up at the man
and replied, "Sir, anything you see down there is 75 years old.
I just bought this hat yesterday!"

You can laugh ah?
My question to you now... is
What happened if the woman isn't 75 but a sweet 21 years young lady?
 Like this one?

You guess she holds the top or the bottom??
Please don't be afraid to tell your thought!

Amazing how your values change as you age!

Simplicity of life...........


Sharing wisdom with an old friend, Chakra, we talked about Simplicity of Life.

When one is poor, to live simple and humble is easy because you have no choice. With low income and no saving, you have to live within your means. Not when one is rich and successful! Imagine when you are loaded with the thousands or the millions of cash in hand, and yet be satisfied with the old car you have be driving for years. All your rich friends are staying in the luxurious and expensive homes but you are contented with the old house which you own before you got rich. Definitely not easy! Because being rich and successful, the pride and self esteem will naturally tempt you to spend more. But if you could still live simple and humble, when you are wealthy, then you are truly classified as the most elite class of all.

Listen through your heart.......


By coincidence I met Omprakash today on the street. I hadn't seen him for quite awhile, a handsome young man of 27 I admired. Looking at his eyes, I could see he wasn't at ease and I strongly believe something must be disturbing him. Though he was on the run then, he was quick to seek my opinion for a problem that was in his mind.

He is working with a current company for 5 years, and he intends to quit because a business venture is waiting for him. He wasn't sure when to submit his resignation, today, end of the month or later!! He asked for my suggestion.

This was what I told him... Work with your heart. The heart could always tell  what you like. Is only the mind that disturb the emotion all the time. The heart says 'yes' but the surrounding and the friends gave you different thoughts and ideas, which in turn might influence your mind. If the heart tells what you love and like to do, don't listen to others. Follow your heart because the heart is always pure and sincere, whereas the mind could be corrupted. Once you have decided what your passion is, be brave to make the decision and work on it. To be successful, one has to be brave and courageous, including making prompt decisions. Is not wrong to make a wrong decision but not making any decision is wrong. After all no one could be prefect, but if you allow yourself to be brave and follow your heart to make those rightful decisions, you would eventually be successful in life. If you love that business venture, be brave to make up your mind today. 

Omprakash was enlightened. He said, "Thank you Robert. I will gave my resignation today. You are almost like A God sent messenger." 

Yes! Angel comes in many form.

Mother has the secret weapon........


To think back my younger days, I remember as father to my three children, I was the most wanted in the family. I was the master of the home because I was the bread winner. I captured more attention than their mother. For whatever they wanted as children, as a responsible dad I didn't fail not to give to the kids. When they were little kids, I bought them toys. I took them to holidays and pampered them with gifts and clothing. When they were schooling, all their fees and pocket money were well taken care by me. They took me as a Santa Claus right up to their oversea studies. I had a lot of value those days, because they needed money from me. 

What about now? A bit sad because they no longer take me as a great Santa Claus any more. All my children are working and in turn they have to take care of their families. Whereas today, their mother steals the limelight and attraction from me. You know why? Because she knows the taste bugs of all her children, including those grand little brothers and sister too. Though she has no money to be given, but she understands and knows exactly what food and meals to be served and cooked for them. So even the children could be working far, they are always too eager to be with the mother. They know mother's food is always the best. And for me, I had nothing to offer to them now. So the best way to stay connected with my children is be their friends. 

A warning to the younger mothers of today. Please learn to cook as a mother. Otherwise later in life, you might have no secret weapon to hold the family together. I have two daughters in law who are professionals who do not know how to cook. I wonder what would be the outcome in another 15 years from today, when all their children have grown up. Well! That's not my responsibility any more. 

Specially for all mothers - "Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever."
