23 Inspirational Quotes To Live By

Look what I got in the mail!

Lol… Actually, I received this bestselling book from Sean Maher of Da Capo Press (Perseus Books Group) in the middle of last month… while I was coaching module 2 of The Patterns Of Excellence (Yes, I have not updated on that yet… Maybe I’ll make another posting with pictures for you guys soon).

I promised to do a review of the book ASAP so now that I have the time… here’s what I have to say about “Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart - Thirty True Things You Need To Know Now” by Dr. Gordon Livingston…

At first glance, you might be fooled by the simplicity of the book cover and the slimness of the book (It’s only 168 pages!). After all, there are no fancy pictures/graphics to grab your attention… At the same time however, there’s nothing to distract you from the hard-hitting heart-felt wisdom that Livingston dishes out generously in the form of 30 steadfast truths of life and how best to live it.

Dr. Gordon Livingston, of all people, should know best… Each and every one of the 30 chapters carries the painful life lessons learned as a result of his involvement with the vietnam war, his experiences as a psychiatrist and the untimely and unexpected deaths of his 2 sons. Continue Reading »
Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart, Thirty True Things You Need To Know Now

Hey Guys,

I just received an email from Adam Khoo that he’s giving away 3 of his best selling books (in digital format) for the first 100 people who qualifies…

Adam is giving away “The Secrets Of Self-Made Millionaires“, “Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny” and one of his latest books “Secrets Of Millionaire Investors“.

All you have to do is to invest in Adam’s Patterns Of Excellence home study course today…

The offer is only valid for the 1st 100 people only… If you have always been interested in Adam’s books/courses, then now is the time to take action!

As Adam Always Tells Us in POE… “Success happens by choice, NOT by chance.”

I don’t know how fast this one will sell out… but as they say in Singapore… “Good Things Must Share!“… I have already done my part in sharing with you… the rest is up to you now…

P.S. Pl note that the site may be experiencing heavy traffic… Do be a little patient and wait for the page to load =)

A lot has happened recently… and not everything’s been really good…

Yesterday I received shocking news that Jimmy’s friend had passed away due to a car accident. I happen to know this girl as well… although we’re more of acquaintances rather than friends. At first I was in denial… I thought it was just a delayed April Fool’s joke. No… It can’t be… She’s too young… She’s only 25… It’s a prank… It’s a prank!

But no… it wasn’t a prank… Nobody would joke about stuff like that…

It’s still sinking in…

And today… today I woke up to the news that my godmother just passed away as well…

I was like … speechless.

I just took some time to regain my composure… to reflect…

Life can be so fragile… Death can happen anytime… when you least expect it. That’s why it’s so important to Live every day like you’ve never lived before… Don’t let fear stop you… because if you do… if you do… you’ll end up with regret… that you’ve never truly lived…

And that’s the worst tragedy of all…
