I should start charging for my posts...

Why?

Because my friend actually referenced one of my blog entries, "I think you can't..." to serve as inspiration for her friend.

=))

Anyway, to all the teachers I know...

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!

Think

We all have different thinking, and we also differ in the extent to which we rack our brains and kill our brain cells.

Some of us think too much (yes think too much), some are lazy to think, some do not think, some think they do not need to think, and some do not think they need to think.

Sometimes you think for yourself, sometimes you think for others.. depending on how much you put others before yourself.

What do I think?

I think Man is forced by circumstances. When our backs are against the wall, we have no other way but to move forward. And when we have only one route out, there can only be one outcome.

The power of the mind is incredible, if you know how to maximize your potential.

Thinking is hard.

And at 535am, it gets even harder.

I really should..

...be sleeping already because I wanted to go to the office early tomorrow but since I am in the mood to write, screw sleep for now.

I have quite a few things to write about so, pardon me if they are totally unrelated to one another. I just wanna write it down before I get hit by writer's block.

As I wrote in my previous entry a few days back, I am currently in a stage of limbo because the Big G so kindly decided to ban me altogether. As a result, I am now forced to diversify and am now picking up things that are totally new to me. And because I know shit about this new ground, I can't really go full speed ahead.

Knowing myself, I am someone who takes pretty high risks and can be quite impatient when it comes to getting results. (But recently, I realized there might be someone who knows myself better than I do.)

So because of this impatience, I can sometimes find myself making losses in the hundreds or thousands a day. Ouch ouch! And because this is just a number I see on the screen, sometimes I do not feel the pain immediately. That is when it gets really scary because I could continue making the same mistakes again and again if I don't learn fast enough.

Affiliate marketing is the business of spending money to make money, or at least according to me. I could be mentioning revenues of huge figures throughout, but the expenses are very high too. Net profit, and not revenue, is what matters ultimately in the end.

I mentioned before in one of my earlier posts that even though I was having it good back then, I felt there was still something lacking. I thought about it, and I think I've got the answer to that -

Someone to share my joy with.

Yes there is my family, and they definitely can share the joy with me. They are the ones who have always been around, and are the ones who would derive delight in my success for sure.

But, what was sorely lacking is a person whom I could talk about what I'm doing, and someone who would understand it too.

You know sometimes you can work your socks off and still feel energized because you've got a partner? It could be a working partner, or even a soul mate, as long as it's someone who understands what you're doing, it just makes work that much more enjoyable, and maybe bearable in some instances.

Call it synergy, call it company, but that was what I think was absent then and still is now.

Okay I feel better now after writing it out.

Hang in there! A little pain and sacrifice in the short run in exchange for something that will make it worth the while in the long run.

Second thought.

Today, I had a chat with someone whom I've not talked to in like a good few months. Someone whom I've always had a soft spot for. (I just googled 'soft spot' and I realize there could be a few definitions). And while the chat wasn't exactly long, I'm pretty happy to hear that things seem to be going well for her now.

Third thought.

Happy day Mr. X! Stop being emo and start living life again. I know it's hard to get out of it, but if you're the one who's refusing to move, you will never get out. Often the best advice is always the harshest, and if it seems that we are the bad guys, so be it.

Okay that's a total of 3 posts in a night. Ahh so much writing has made me feel hungry again, even though I had mee bandung a few hours ago. Haha.

Have a good week ahead everyone!

You Think, Therefore You Are

I was browsing through the list of subscribed blogs on my RSS reader when I came across this interesting entry, The Thermostat & The Hole.

Some excerpts:

Being an affiliate marketer you might be experiencing some of these thoughts yourself. Shocked, excited, and or anxious and nervous that it won’t last so you are spending it like a little kid in a candy shop – scooping up all the candy you can carry home. Who can blame you? It’s new and it feels good to show off in front of your buddy what you have created for yourself.

Back to the lottery winners who in a short amount of time go right back to an empty bank account. I now know that the reason this happens is that what is believed in our unconscious is what will determine our circumstance.

Additionally what is also interesting is that in spite of the money and any new found bling -we might find that we feel empty inside. You hear about it all the time someone buys a hot new car and has a fab new apartment and yet they still don’t feel good about themselves. So they keep numbing out either with shopping, food, drink, drugs and/or sex.

I felt there were a few points in the entry that I could actually relate to, and hence the purpose of me posting it here.

Let me know if there is anything at all in the entry that you can relate to as well (even if its the numbing with sex part). =)

It's a fad, Swee

"I know you too well, that's why I say it will be a fad."

I almost flipped when I heard that from my friend, after I told him I went to work at my office that day.

Someone pass me a knife.
