My Vision - Passive Income

A Sunday in Aug 2011

2011-08-29T01:07:00.003+08:00

It was a fine Sunday. I woke up at 8am this Sunday. I learned my Chinese spelling before going out for my lunch with my family. After lunch, I came home to have my nap. 5 hours later, I woke up. My family and I went to the beach with Uncle Leo's family. The beach at East Coast park was very windy. I enjoyed sitting on the mat. Then at about 7pm, we went for our dinner at Lion City Arnold Fried Chicken. The queue was very long. When its our turn, we rush to go in. I enjoyed the food very much.

A day at Primary 2.

It was recess time, our English Teacher brought us to the canteen.
Some of us went to the library. The library was very cold, I was only allow to borrow two books.
After borrowing my books, I went to the canteen for my food.
Suddenly it started to rain. As I was sitting on the table near the outdoor, I could feel a little rain.
I quickly ate my food. I went up the hall and sat down on the floor reading my books.
I saw lots of students running into their classes. Some of them were caught by Teacher because they were running and it is dangerous to run when the floor is wet.

My Day Helping Max by Attila Tan, 8 yrs old 2011

I helped Max with his spelling after dinner today.
From today onwards, I will read a book to him and if he does not know the word, I will give him spelling.
I will get a easy book first, than everyday I will give his a harder and harder book to read.
I enjoy helping him with his word. He sometime also got angry with me and I hate it.

Interesting way of looking at Happiness and life.

2010-01-02T16:04:00.001+08:00

One day, the young lion asked his mom: "Mom, where is the happiness?"
Mom replied: "It's on your tail."
So the young lion keeps on chasing after his tail. But after a whole day of trying, he failed to get the happiness that was on his tail.
Then he told his mom about this, his mom smiled and said: "Son, you don't really need to chase after your happiness, as long as you keep going and moving forward, your happiness will always be with you."

You can't decide the length of life, but you can control how you want to live it.
You can't control the weather, but you can control your mood.
You can't change your look, but you can smile.
You can't control others, but you can control yourself.
You can't foresee tomorrow, but you can utilize today wisely.
You can't win everything, but you can try your very best to achieve that.

Money and Life...

Most of us make money at the expense of our Health,
then we try to restore our health by spending more money...

We live as if we are never going to die,
and we die as if we never lived....

Dying for....

2009-12-28T10:49:00.002+08:00

First, I was dying to finish my high school and start college.
And then, I was dying to finish college and start working.
Then I was dying to marry and have children.
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough.,
so I could go back to work.
But then, I was dying to retire.
And Now, I am dying.....
And Suddenly, I realized...
I forgot to live...

Pls don't let this happen to you.
Appreciate your current situation and Enjoy each day...

... old friend.

Some time ago, at the Seattle Olympics, nine athletes, all mentally or physically challenged, were standing on the start line for the 100 m race.

The gun fired and the race began. Not everyone was running, but everyone wanted to participate and win.
They ran in threes, a boy tripped and fell, did a few somersaults and started crying.
The other eight heard him crying.
They slowed down and looked behind them.
They stopped and came back… All of them…

A girl with Down’s Syndrome sat down next to him, hugged him and asked, “Feeling better now?”Then, all nine walked shoulder to shoulder to the finish line.

The whole crowd stood up and applauded. And the applause lasted a very long time…

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:"

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ''In five years, will this matter?".
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

Law of the Garbage Truck - unknown writer

2009-08-03T14:15:00.000+08:00

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!

The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent of how you take it!

Never Work Again by T Harv Eker

2009-07-03T14:30:00.004+08:00

I earn a massive passive income.
I earn more than enough passive income to pay for my disired lifestyle.
I set up vehicles and systems to work instead of me.
I get paid based on the value I provide, without my labour.
I love making money while I sleep, play or am on vocation.
The less I work, the more I earn.
Excellent passive income opportunites always come my way.
I appreciate all the free time and money I have.
I am financially free, I work because I choose to, not because I have to.
I never have to work again.

Two Choices - must read

2009-01-13T16:17:00.002+08:00

What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway.
My question is: Would you have made the same choice?
At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one ofthe students delivered a speech thatwould never be forgotten by all whoattended.
After extolling the schooland its dedicated staff, he offereda question:'When not interfered with byoutside influences, everything naturedoes, is done with perfection.Yet my son, Shay, cannot learnthings as other children do. He cannot understand thingsas other children do.Where is the natural order of things in my son?'The audience was stilled by thequery.
The father continued.'I believe that when a child like Shay,who was mentally and physicallydisabled comes into t! he world,an opportunity to realize true humannature presents itself, and it comesin the way other people treat that child.'Then he told the following story:

Shay and I had walked past a parkwhere some boys Shay knew wereplaying baseball. Shay asked,'Do you think they'll let me play?'I knew that most of the boys wouldnot want someone like Shayon their team, but as a father Ialso understood that if my son wereallowed to play, it would give him amuch-needed sense of belonging andsome confidence to be accepted byothers in spite of his handicaps..
I approached one of the boys on thefield and asked (not expecting much)if Shay could play. The boy lookedaround for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can beon our team and we'll try to put himin to bat in the ninth inning.

'Shay struggled over to the team'sbench and, with a broad smile, puton a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.
In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field,grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.
Now, with two outs and the basesloaded, the potential winning run wason base and Shay was scheduledto be next at bat.At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?
Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team as putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ballin softly so Shay could at leastmake contact.
The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.The pitcher again took a few stepsforward to toss the ball softly towards Shay.As the pitch came in, Shay swungat the ball and hit a slow groundball right back to the pitcher.The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the softgrounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.
Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw theball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates.
Everyone from the stands and bothteams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!'Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base.He scampered down the baseline,wide-eyed and startled.
Everyone yelled, 'Run to second,run to second!'Catching his ! breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball . the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.
Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'
As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay,run home! Run home!'Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, a nd was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won thegame for his team'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face,'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.
Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy,and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day.....

Where is Hell when there is Heaven....unknow source.

2008-12-11T13:26:00.000+08:00

A holy man was having a conversation with God one day and said, ‘God, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.'
God led the holy man to two doors.
He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.
In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished.
They were holding spoons with very long handles, that were strapped to their arms and each found it impossible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.
But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
God said, 'You have seen Hell.'
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one.
There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water.
The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, 'I don't understand.'
It is simple,' said God. 'It requires but one skill.
You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves.'

Try messing with children

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.
The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'
The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.'
The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.'
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.'

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?'
Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong a! nd make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.'
The littl e girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, 'Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?'

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead.'

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.'
'Yes,' the class said..
'Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?'
A little fellow shouted, 'Cause your feet ain't empty.'

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
'Take only ONE . God is watching.'
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.'
