I think you have heard it before, and it’s a totally opposite of ‘ignorance is bliss’. The subject is a powerful phrase because we as human will try to avoid being hurt as much as we can. And definitely when you don’t know , it will hurt you .
Just the other day when I was fined because of ‘I don’t know’. I parked my car at a place that I don’t know, what happened? I got a ticket..
Went to a new place, got into a bar, took a glance at a woman, and because of I don’t know, I got whacked..
So, what else that I don’t know will hurt? Plenty of them, so how do we handle the situation of I don’t know? .. Ask around, look at signs, better still study ahead before visit a certain place. Ask your friends, do anything to ‘know’ so that it won’t hurt you.
So, becareful when we use the term ‘Ignorance is bliss’ because ‘Not knowing hurts’

Well, I just listened to Jim Rohn CD just now, and what really triggered me to write this is when he was teaching the power of the words. And I really didn’t realised how good is it until Jim told many that the words can affect people if you got it wrong. But when you got it right, it works wonder.
Take a look of this example. If you see your spouse, or your son or daughter whom are in worry of something, trying to solve things, and imagine 2 phrases of sentence that made all the differences.
The 1st one is, if you ask them ‘ what’s wrong with you? ‘, so this words are powerful and it will affect their mood, what do you think they would respond? Surely, or mostly, they will say ‘Nothing’ or some other word that won’t resolve the problem.
But if the 2nd phrase is ‘ what’s troubling you? ‘ now, this is more power in the persuasion for them to tell you the problem. I think mostly, if you ask the right words with the right tone, they will tell you the problem and you can help them and things would go really well.
Such a simple idea from Jim, and it can make the whole world of a difference. Remember the right words with right tone, you can make a big difference.
P/S: the CD I was listened too is called Jim Rohn – The Weekend Seminar

Wow, it’s been a tiring couple of days, busy preparing for my new house. I need to paint the house, I need to clean the house, coordinate all the incoming of furnitures and accessories. And it is not done yet, seems like the whole week I will be busy on it.
But the satisfaction is there when it is slowly emerged, the dream house. This is the house that I wanted to make it come true. But it took too long to make it happen.
I bought it a year already, and the progress was so slow, until this year, I decided, it’s enough, no more procrastination. I must make it happen and shift into this new house in a week time. Then, everything is moving, and very soon I will be shifting into this new house.
Isn’t it good had I started it earlier? Well, at now I had got it almost done and make sure it’s done, it’s never too late if you start now.
