Sometimes I feel that this secret thing is really keep repeatiing to myself and the problem is sometimes, it’s not what I wanted it to be. This thing happened to me this morning.
What happened was, there are a series of events prior to the incident.
I told myself the other day (Monday) that I wanted to use the car (normally my wife is using it) to settle something on Friday. And I even told my friend that I was having something on Friday thus cancelling the lunch appointment while my friend responded that she will also not free on Friday noon.
What happened was I managed to settle the thing on Thursday (without needing to use the car) that I was planning to carry out on Friday.

Recently, I have done a couple of money making systems and I realized something when implementing their ideas. Whether the system is free or close to free because of it’s low price, there’s something telling you that there must be hidden agenda inside.
I found out about the adsense system that was automated, even the website creation is automated. Inside there is a control center of the system where you will fill in your affiliate ID, etc but if you really look into the code of the system, there are a lot of hidden code promoting the seller including their ID.
You see, the idea is simple, the more people use the system , the more people help promoting his affiliate that boost his income. It is in itself a brilliant idea, but I call it exploits and I am wise enough to understand the coding of the system and programs.
My advice is just to becareful with these kind of system. They are draining your effort and time while they get the benefits.

I have just come to know that Jim Rohn (the great motivational master) had passed away on 5th of Dec 2009 and I’m really sad to hear this news. I am really a great admirer of this guy as I started to learn from him to become a better man.
I listen to his motivational talk and speeches when I drive everyday, and I never get bored because he is such a humor, his voice is clear and ideas are easy to digest.
I always on the lookout for his quotes and seminars because he is really the best. I’m going to miss him, I send all my prayers to him for his safe journey in another world..
Although I am still not achieving my big dream yet, but he kicked my ass to move and take action. When I am down and result not going my way, or when I feel dejected and demoralized, I will listen to his inspirational words.
I can’t thank him enough for the precious lessons. May legendary master Jim Rohn RIP..

There’s something I would like to mention here about what happened to me the other day as a customer.
My brother in law told me to get my car check on the timing belt. He is a car sales agent and he knows a lot of this stuffs.. so I went to get it check and I was asked to replace the timing belt.
Now this workshop is a big workshop and they got many mechanics and have a reception area bigger than my house. So, what happened was, they threw me with 1 hundred and 1 things to change.
They told me besides the timing belt, I need to replace the water pump, and other items which I was not remember well as it’s quite technical for me in this area. So, I asked how much was it. They told me to wait as they went to check the items and prices.
So, after waited for a while, the lady came back to me and quote me RM1450 and she told me that the parts need to wait as they need to deliver it from factory 200km from here and need to fix another date. I told the lady that I’m not going to do with this kind of price (at that time I was concerned about the price). So, after she discussed with the mechanics, she reduced the price to RM1150. I thought to myself, what kinda of workshop is this, are they going to slaughter me on this? So, I went to call for alternatives, then they reduced the price further to 950. I told them to forget it I’m not changing the timing belt here.
I felt so uncomfortable and it’s like being cheated through the whole process.
So, I went to another workshop recommended by my father in law, and it’s pretty small but the man is very friendly and since he knows my father in law well, we helped me to check everything and I told me that every other items in the engine was fine except for the timing belt and the engine cover, so I got it replaced and fixed with just RM353. Furthermore, they did it on the spot as they got the part and I do not need to find another date.
So, there is a lesson I have learned from this experience. I think it’s very good to apply it to whatever service or things that we are selling.

Today, I received a tweet from twitter community that there is a program that can earn money by doing data entry job. The site is www.my-data-team.com and initially I thought it’s free to join, but I was wrong.
The sales pitch was really compelling. I thought it’s genuine, but instead I was asked to pay a certain amount.
It claimed that over the last time when they offer the free training, people took it for granted and misused it. It’s all BS, because if they really need us to help them to do the data entry job then we should be free to join and we should be paid, not the other way around.
So, don’t be fooled by the tempting offer, as I was almost charged my credit card for it. Lucky I did a check on the site. Please be advised.
