Organic Vs Vegetarian

Is there any difference between Organice & Vegetarian meals?

On Tuesday, uponn the invitation by my friend, I went to Kuchai Lama for an organic lunch. We were served Organic Bento Set.

Before we started our meal, Beini wanted us to first eat the dragon fruit. Then follow by the soup (the soup is made of carrot, sweet corn, aiyo, forgot liao), after which we were to eat the salad, a little bit sour due to the plum sause. Quite appetising. Lastly were we to eat the main course which consisted of brown rice, bean curd with white sesame topping, fucuk with cabbage and a piece of sweet potato.

According to Beini, the owner of the shop found that they are cases of cancer patients recovered after following organic food decided to learn from a Taiwan Sifu and opened up the shop using all her savings.

Today is the 1st day of Month Seven which is equivalent to Hungry Ghost Month. I went for vegetarian food. Very kiasi, ok... Ha ha..

On the wall of the restaurant, there is a little writing about why the prices of food is increasing in cost due to pigs also eat our food. That's why it increases the demand of food and therefore the price also increases as a consequence. We should stop eating meat to make the food more affordable so that less children died of starvation. Aiyo. Also true lah.... Amitabha...

While eating, I suddenly remembered what Beini told me about how cancer patients recovered after on organic food. Then I also heard many people told me that some monks themselves are down with cancer. By the way, these monks are the top ranking in the temple. There must be the food the made them sick. Hmnn......

Looking at the ingredients of Vegetarian food, I find that there is no balance of diet. We were served artificial meat like char siu, siu ngo, fish, etc. Some of these are made of preservatives, colouring, msg etc, I heard. These ingredients itself is not healthy. I am not a nutritionist nor a chef, but I am learning to improve on my health. This is just my personal opinion. It might not be right. If you have any comment just update me ok....

Leadership

What is Leadership? Why is Leadership important?

A leader is one with a clear mission. He leads others to achieve a noble objective. Is everyone has a leadership in them? Should we lead our own lives?

I have been thinking hard about leadership. Robert Kiyosaki in Conspiracy of the Rich stated, "One way to be a great leader is to keep learning and keep accepting feedback from your team - even if it's not feedback you like".

In the house, we need to lead our family members. In the school, we need to lead our school mates. In a Company, we need to lead our employees. In the country, we need to lead our nations.

So, what is my mission. Rich Dad's mission is to elevate the financial well-being of humanity. At first I do not quite blend into the mission. Last night I started to feel it : -What is required of a Leader.

When Rich Dad was on military duty during the Vietnam War, his mission is to bring back his team members alive.

Therefore, I found out that as a leader, I need to lead the family to financial freedom. In a Company, I need to lead the employees to a profitable company so that they can have job and financial security. I am responsible for everyone who believes in me..... it also means that I have to take very well care of myself. Many people depends on me.....

Then I started to ponder about my mission. Since my first business will be in Food Business, I want to delight and spoil my customer healthily but economically.

Connie do not like the word I chose "spoil". What do you think? To me, spoil means customers can eat what they want cause they know the food is healthy or it should not do much harm. For example, I will use garbage enzyme to pre-soak my vegetables to reduce pesticide or other chemical if any. This will make the vegetables taste better. Eventually lead to healthier lifestyle, hopefully, though not guarantee.

Marriage

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

Got this email from a friend.... Excellent...

Those who are still single may learn something from here.
Those who are already married may take it as a guideline to improve your marriage...

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?"
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"

Here's the answer.


EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... Because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.

But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, could drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work,a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you.
You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labor of love."

Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.
Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable. .. you can "make" love.
Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.

Remember this always:

"God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go."

So, spent your lifetime finding out the loveable things about your spouse so that you could LOVE your spouse everyday in every way in an EVERLASTING marriage. That is why granpa's love to your granma seems so PURE.
Remember, you are with the "RIGHT" person. If not, you wouldn't have wanted to marry your spouse in the first place.

No more questions!!!

Life Learning

Every day, we are learning lots of things. Whether we notice it or not.

Yesterday, little Dash asked me "What Have You Learned Today?"

It was noon already, I cannot recall what I have learned that day. So I told him, I have not learned anything but I like your question. The greatest learning of the day was to ask this question every day, every moment....

Recently, I am learning a lot. From Buddihism to Business management to Financial management to Relationship management to Investment Management. It's like Buddha trying to find out why there is Birth, Aging, Sickness & Death. All these are inter-related. In business we have to have integrity and value, besides knowledge and skills.

If one wants to end death, there should not be anymore Birth.

If one wants to end poverty, there should not be anymore ..... poor thinking!

Your mindset must be tuned to another channel. The millionaire channel. How the rich thinks in a different way....

Rich Dad in his Conspiracy of the Rich written, change your question, that will change your life.

For example, " How can I get started when I don't have any money? "
Change it to " What do I have to know about raising money?"

In business, many do not know how to get customers. Phil Town in his book, Rule # 1 said it is so simple " Find out what they want, Go and get it & Give it to them " You are in business. Simple.

Leaning, learning. I am learning.... And I am applying what I have learnt and the good news is "It works!" ....

Rich VS Wealthy

Rich dad has this one famous line. A person can be rich but he might not be wealthy.
What's the difference...

A 14 year old teen once told me she doesn't want to be rich (In mandarin, she mean she doesn't want to have money). I was surprised. I asked why?

She told me even if you have RM2.00, you have money but that's not enough. Hmn.... intelligent kid.

A person who has RM1 million with a monthly expense of RM100,000 will have a 10-month wealth. Is that wealthy?

Well, the 10-month wealth will not last him a life time. The millionaire has a problem?

If the millionaire has a passive income of RM100,000 a month will probably solve his problem.

But what is passive income? Passive income is income streams that keep coming to you even if you don't want it. Cool? Passive income do not require our labour to produce it. Yes, we might need to set it up though. We can work hard to set it up once and enjoy the fruits for the rest of our lives. Isn't it good.

The next question is, is that possible?

Think of how aeroplanes transport people around the world. Think of how people landed on the moon.

To create passive income, we need to accumulate assets that can produce passive income. So what are the assets that generate passive income?

Business

What is the most critical factor in business?

While most of them tell me it's money or capital, is it true?

How about people? Management? Product? What else? Marketing, Branding,




Well, my mentor said it is SALES....

Why? It is sales that keep a Company afloat. Think again...

When you have sales, you have money. When you have money, you have everything else.

What do you think?

Education

When my friend asked me to vote for English in teaching Science & Maths in Malaysia. A lot of things came into my mind.

What do parents want? They want their children to have good/comfortable/luxury life? If so what's the impact of English or mother tounge being tought in Science & Maths? Will the learning of Science & Maths in English guarantee that the children know how to make lots of money in future?

Should we revisit our education system or should we focus on the medium?

Hmnn....

All parents, how has our education system affected us? Are you a millionaire? Do you earn a lot to support your lifestyle? Can you retire comfortably? With confident?

Do you want your children to go through what you are going through now?

I have learned from Rich Dad that most people have to worry about

1) Tax
2) Retirement
3) Debts
4) Inflation

Any of these apply to you?

So what should we do to overcome all these? Is there a solution?

Yes, there is. That's why I am changing. Yeah....
