Pick a choice! Eat, sleep or holiday...which one you choose first? Some might select to eat first, especially those who have heavy appetite and love eating more than anything else. I have three sons, my first son prefers to eat first and sleep later. Without a full stomach, he finds difficult to rest. I am different, I rather like to sleep first and eat later. I love sleeping but just that, time does not allow me to rest too long. They said...as you grow older you sleep lesser. Not me! Without seven hours of solid sleep, the following day won't be a pleasant one.

Are you stingy?
A SYT asked, "Robert! You are a successful man and must be super rich?" I said,"N0! I am successful in my career but I am not rich because I am not stingy enough."

His face tells so much about him!!
There were a group of us having fun and laughter while killing our time in a gathering. All the young friends were too keen to learn something from me. Looking at their faces, I could see them happy and enjoying themselves. I could also identify those who were in love by looking deep into their eyes. Because, I believe the heart has a pathway that links to the eyes. When your heart is in love, your eyes have the romantic grow. Most of them there had loves in their eyes, few were still seeking for it and one was out of love.. so sad for this unwanted love bird.

How to love my man to love me faithfully.
I was in Singapore when I met Shirley from the Philippine again. She was still emotional over her husband's death two years ago. Most of the time she visits her only daughter who is married to my brother-in-law, a Singaporean. Over the nite with the family, I had a chance to learn some extraordinary romance from this great lady I so admire.

Your taste in life is shown by the woman you love.
Over a lunch with another wise old man, he said... a refine man who is successful and knowledgeable, got to be completed with a polish class lady, he loves. Any man might claim to be perfect with all the ideal qualities of a person, is shown with the company of the woman he deeply in love with. If he is educated, his lady would be understanding. If he understands life, his woman of choice is definitely kind and passionate. If he is considerate himself, his mate would equally be romantic and loving. If he is humble, his partner would be gentle and soft. If he knows how to appreciate the beauty of the Universe, his soul mate will have the beauty of the heart, seen thought the eyes and spoken with words of sweetness.

Hug a tree for energy!
Do u feel down, not wanted, no love, no energy, no inspiration? Try hugging a tree. Rinnie is one friend I just got to know. She is pretty and intelligence but because of a bad marriage broke up, she isn't ready to fall in love so fast again. She is handling two jobs a day and need to care for her four years old daughter as well. By the time she goes home late, she would be dead tired and exhausted. She cries to have a man who could love her sincerely but being a strong headed lady, she chooses to be independence for the time being. I asked her how she could overcome the need for love. She said...."I hug tree whenever I am down!!!"
Estimated Time: - Thirty Minutes Instructions
1. To really experience a tree, Hug it!!!
2. Just hug it for fifteen minutes or more and feel the flow of life energy in the tree, in yourself, and between you and the tree's.
3. You should be aware of what you are feeling in your body while you are hugging the tree. Let your awareness flow up and down through your body as you are doing this exercise. *Remember, the life energy can feel the same as sexual energy.
4. Keep hugging until you feel a difference in your energy. Note what the difference in feeling is.
5. Turn your back to the tree and lean against until you feel the energy shift. Be aware of how the shift feels.
6. Thank the tree and leave an offering.

Laws of attraction.
Steph was a strong producer when she first started selling life insurance eight years ago. Money was the prime mover then. She easily got excited in all sales promotions and was always the top in her agency. However the last two years were bad for her. She had lost her personal drive, her attitude was negative and she is in a nut shell currently. During her last agency meeting, when every agent was to project their goals setting, she felt so shameful as not being able to bring herself up. All her colleagues were dreaming to have expensive cars, homes, holidays and more but our poor girl was crying in her heart. Christ was criticizing her old Korean car and John was boosting his pride of his expensive office. They did not know, they were killing their colleague who had lost her self esteem in selling.

Medical insurance is important.
Quite recently, I received a call from Kua's wife. The husband was admitted to a private hospital, for treatment of his spinal stenosis. He had been staying there for almost three months, when two operations had been done on his spine. On visiting him, I was told one hundred and eighty thousand dollars had been spend, and the bills were still increasing as further treatments were needed. Upon reaching there, both husband and wife were asking whether life insurance could be purchased. I felt sad for them because four years ago, I had proposed a comprehensive medical and life plan for him, when he strongly declined the protection. He was then a fit and healthy person who believed in cash rather than on life insurance. Though I had tried hard to sell him, I had failed.

Hot & Spicy!
Over a retreat recently, our company had our yearly meeting at a hill resort. It was a successful gathering with almost five thousand participants who came from all part of the country. I had a chance to meet up with many good friends and buddies. Over the nite, we had some fun and drinks. Most of them brought along their wives or girlfriends to keep companies. It was extremely cold outside, the temperature was below 15 c*, which we considered as very cold for the Malaysian. Though I was the most senior of them all, I like to be cheeky with my friends and their spouses. During our chat, I playfully asked, "You guys must be working very hard last nite on the bed because it was cold. The better way to keep warm is to make love. How I wish my little darling is with me now!" I thought they would agree with my statement. Surprisingly, non took the advantage of the weather to make love. Rather, all of them tugged into the blankets and slept through the nite.

Woman or life?
Another naughty friend sent over this cartoon to me. While I was laughing over it, these five rules came to my mind again...."Five Rules For Men To Follow For A Happy Life:
1. Get a woman who helps at home, cooks and clean up.
2. Get a woman, who can make you smile and laugh.
3. Get a woman who you can trust and who does not lie to you.
4. Get a woman who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.
5. It is very important that these four women do no know each other".
Might not be possible for all men. Recently a male friend, Mr A was having a severe uproar with his new wife Madam F. She seemed a soft little kitten prior to her marriage, but after her birth of a new born child, she was very possessive of the husband. As he is a frequent traveller, who is always exposed to the entertainment world, he has many girlfriends all over the world. Out of carelessness, when he was sleeping in the house, his sneaky wife saw all his romantic text messages and those sexy lady pictures stored in the hand phone. Without giving him a chance to explain, the furious wife took a pistol to aim at his face, confronting who those bitches were. The above cartoon depicts the exact situation of Mr A, his wife and girlfriend. He is caught sweating.. is the sensational girlfriend more important than his disturbed wife!!!
Mr A had made a big blunder because he did not follow the last rule 5, which stated,"It is very important that these four women do not know each other". Man being man, we are always the mischievous one, making life interesting and sometimes causing pain to our loved one.
The Chinese has a proverb.."A picture is better than a thousand words". Please take this topic as a joke but is also a true fact of life.

How Loveable Are U?
How Loveable Are You? This is going to be interesting.....
Take our quiz to know
by S.K. Smith
b.A wallflower. I'm always in the wedding party. It seems like I'll never find someone to care about me. (0)
c.Relationships can be tough for me, but I'm working on that and most of the time I think there is, ultimately, a match for me. (5)
a.Frustrating sometimes, but fun! (10)
b.A chore. I hate it. (2)
c.A frantic search for a life mate. (0)
d.Fantastic. I never want to settle down. (5)
b.It's everything. If I'm not attractive, how will I meet someone? (0)
c.It's important, but not everything. My aim is to do the best I can. (10)
a.Desperate. Which is pretty much how I feel all the time. (0)
b.Nervous. I mean, I like my life, but I'd really like to be with someone. (10)
c.Nothing. Who cares? I'm fine on my own. (5)
a.True. I try not to take myself too seriously most of the time. (10)
b.True. My life, after all, is a joke. (0)
c.False. I'm embarrassed about my shortcomings, but I'm working on not being so hard on myself. (5)
d.False. What's so funny? (0)
a.Always. (10)
b.Sometimes. (5)
c.Never. (0)
a.True - absolutely. And why wouldn't I? (0)
b.True - sort of. I mean it's not long. But there are a few things I know I want. (10)
c.False - I'll take anyone. (0)
d.False - That stuff goes out the window when you fall in love. (5)
a.Open but selective. (10)
b.Ready any time any place. (5)
c.Disinterested. (2)
d.I use it to get what I want. (0)
The reason you're not succeeding in love is not that you're not loveable, it's that you don't feel good about yourself. As such, you won't attract a mate who feels good about you (or themselves!). As cliché as this sounds, no one can complete you, other than yourself! The good news is, provided you take the necessary steps to uncover some inner truths, you can change things, starting with the way you feel. It's time for some soul searching. Where do your self-doubts come from? What can you do to prove yourself wrong? It takes courage to break bad patterns, but you can do it. Only by working from the inside out, will you discover a new outcome.

Loves build determination.
Ah Fei has been selling life insurance for almost 8 years without much head way. Lately he worked quite closely with me, when I could understand him more. He is certainly a jovial guy, always full of cheers and humour. With his personality and intelligence, he should have done better but his mind isn't very focus on his job. He is already 35, still unmarried and rather playful in character. He is more interested to chase for sexy ladies, rather than looking for a decent woman to settle down. I noticed, the only motivation that could move him to work is through the external forces. He needs all the time, the incentives and promotions given by the company or sometimes by his agency manager. Without their inspiration and encouragement, he tends to be contented and reluctance to excel. I told him his problem...he hasn't the self determination from the inner force of himself.
Food of the thought - "We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort." - Jesse Owens

My birthday.
The sweetest day of the year I believe is one's birthday. In my 27 years of selling life insurance, I have never forgotten all my friends' birthday. Prior to me selling insurance, I was a salesman selling Hallmark Cards which is the most prestigious card in the world. I learned the important of birthday's feeling and the expression in words to make it more meaningful. Today I send all my friends' birthday cards, specially designed and worded by me personally. Not only they received these unique cards, I would not fail to call them personally to wish them the birthday on the phone. For I always believe the five senses of life are important...they saw, smelled, tasted and touched my cards to feel nice, plus the hearing of my voice, completed the satisfaction of a birthday's wish.

A guardian to my client's children.
Jeanette is a great mother who raised her three children well. Working only as a private tutor, she knew it won't be easy for her to send her deserving children for oversea studies. When they were much younger, she had reminded them that they had to study hard in the government schools, to qualify for the universities later. The children were equally intelligence to understand the mother's financial constraint. One of the elder child, Jonathan whom I had seen him grown since a baby, had just completed his senior secondary education. He did extremely well in his final examination and was awarded a Canadian scholarship to study in Canada too. I was so proud of him and felt so happy for the mother.

Can money change a person's character?
Someone was asking this question? Can money change a person's character? I am sure it can. Many years ago, over our radio's talk show, they were debating on this topic. Many were claiming they won't as religion or upbringing were the main factors which hold their dignities and self control. Out came a young lady of early thirties who was frank to speak her mind. She believed most people were bullshitting, hypocrites and were not telling the truth. Although she was a religious, homely, responsible, caring and a kind hearted person, if someone out there was prepared to pay her a million dollar and wanted her to change her character from good to the worst...she would do it. Though she had been working very hard for many years as secretary, she had never seen this much of money before. She did not mind to change her total self character, personality or whatever ways she was instructed to do so, as long as she could have those cash in hand. It was easy for others to say they won't, because...the fact was, nobody was given cash to do it in the first place. If cash was there, everything was possible and this is true fact of life.

To buy or not to buy!
Though I am a salesman who approaches and sells to others most of the time, I also allow others to prospect and try their luck on me. I was invited by a friend to meet her upper liner who were both marketing a new Biodisc products. They claimed to be fully involved and are committed to this new marketing company. I openly allowed them to present their sales to me, insisting that I had only one hour for them. In my mind, I wanted to see how they sell and to learn something new if possible.
