This is another words of wisdom, help others to solve their problem, you will solve your own problem. In a sense, it does make people successful by applying this.
Imagine that you want to help the poor. Say, you want to save a village , to let them have safe drinking water, to help them to have good sanitary system, etc. To solve this problem, you are thinking of making more money and donate to them. They are the motivation for you to keep striving and make more money until you can make them happy. You want to make all of them happy.
So, in the end you keep wanting to donate more money for them, for that to happen, you work hard and think of many ways to earn more money. Once you solve their problem, eventually you are rich already. Not just being rich, your reputation is darn good and many more good fortune and wealth to come to you.
Rich people do charity, the more they give, the more it return back to them and lesser tax to pay to government. By helping others, eventually and indirectly they are helping themselves.

I plucked this out from one of the Jim Rohn famous quote ‘ The birds going to have some’. What’s this exactly means? Well, often enough in life, whatever you do, there will always be obstacles lying ahead waiting to get into your way.
That’s why, when Jim told about the sowing and reaping story, he will not be missing this term. When we sow, often enough hurdles are beckoning. The first of all, we must always know that ‘The birds are going to have some’. Those seeds before it’s even settled, the birds will get some.
Jim continues his stories about how John went missing in the first meeting. So, the birds got him. Then he will tell about the 2nd hurdle, it’s about the seeds fall onto shallow ground. And the hot day caused the plant withers. Next, when the plant found it’s way to grow, the thorns choked it to death… only then… the remaining plants finally made it.
The moral of the story is, you gotta prepare for the obstacles. But Jim also said that, some of the things you have no control over, just apply the rule , for the more seeds you sow, the more of it will make it through.
Well, it’s chinese new year, and my old friend was back to celebrate the new year with his family. And we had just met up and had a chat.
His timing was right as my kids had gone to sleep, so I can go out and have a drink.
We chat a lot of things, but most importantly, I was updating about my situation and what I am doing recently. It’s good to let good friend knows about my plan.
We need to get as much encouragement as we can for what we are doing. And that’s why they are there. Well, sometimes you might got bad reaction or shall I say discouragement, but they may not mean it that way. They might just want to alert you.
Anyway, for me, it served another purpose. I let my plan loose and it’s a way I want to let my promise known to someone. So that I must and really work on it. So that, next year, back to the meeting place, and we got something accomplished.
I found this is an effective way for a 1 year goal to be achieved. You don’t want to be ridiculed by friends.
