365 Days of Gratitude - Day 54

My partner suggested we fast track our company growth! Surprised that he suggested it. Maybe the universe works in wonderful ways!

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 53

Got off my ass and did something else for myself. I am happy to have achieved this. May this opportunity grow!

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 52

A day spent by myself fixing up my pc and a night spent with my love. Thank you universe. Also, an opportunity for the house of our dream came up and it is cheap. I need to be able to afford it !

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 51

Getting my system up and running. I am grateful to be able to do this :) it will help my customer and me.

Thursday, August 12, 2010

Wow it has been 50 days. I am glad and happy that I am still moving on and staying faithful.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 49

I must learn to finish what I have quickly before jumping on the next train. Stop wasting time! :) Grateful to have learnt this lesson.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 48

Went to work refreshed. Hopefully I will get the printing opportunity. I am grateful either way.

Monday, August 9, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 47

A day of rest and I am grateful for it :)

Sunday, August 8, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 46

Collected potential customer's contact last night. More I see more I know the opportunity is solid.

Thank you once again.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 45

While working on one opportunity, one must not ignore the other opportunities out there.

I am very grateful for all the opportunities I have received and will work my hardest to grab hold of all of them.

Friday, August 6, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 44

Hmmm .. the opportunity from before seems good. Other opportunities that needs what it provides seems to be around and waiting to come in. Maybe option 1 is needed to test it all out before jumping into option 3.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 43

On that deal. I now have 3 options,

1st option is just a normal dealer. Less risk, maybe more return, more control but less protection.

2nd option is being a contractual agent. low risk and more protection for less control and return

3rd option is partnership. definitely less control but more protection. better long term.

:) Glad to have been able to receive this opportunity.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 42

The one from a different city is really interesting but is it a competitive thinking? On one hand he is fighting on price. On the other hand, his product is good and cheap. It will definitely change how the market works. Is that good? In any case, thanks to the universe for allowing such an opportunity to find me.

Monday, August 2, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 41

The opportunity from a different city came today. I mentioned it in an earlier post but now it has come. I feel that this is a huge opportunity and I am very thankful for it. The prices are just too low for this not to be anything but a profitable business. Amazing. Thanks again.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 40

Today my back feels much better and I feel much more relaxed. I am grateful for a relaxing day.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 39

The pressure is still not off. But I am thankful that the an installation went without any major problems today. My back still hurts though and now I have a sore throat to boot.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 38

Launch Day!
I am very grateful for tons of reasons today. First of all, everything went on smoothly enough. Secondly, opportunities were abundant. Met new people and caught up with some people that I have not seen in a while. Thirdly thanks for my gf who is really caring :)

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 37

Wow .. really busy so here is to make up for it all.

One more day before launch. Rushing to make sure everything is done on time. My back started to hurt. I am thankful for my partner for being there and being responsible.

Thursday, July 29, 2010

Health

Must also be grateful that our health is good. Health is just as important as wealth. Each helps us to achieve the other.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 36

Closer and closer the due date cometh.

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 35

Busy now . getting ready for launch. Due date closer.

Thank you.

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 34

Very busy day. I'm actually thankful for that. More busy days to come!

Gratitude is so important. I have a friend, who now finally has a job after a long time without one, but chooses to constantly bitch about his new job. I can see what Wallace Wattles meant by :

Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of gratitude. Having received one gift from God, they cut the wires which connect them with Him by failing to make acknowledgment.


The negativity that exudes from my friend can be felt by me who wasn't the one giving him this gift. Makes me wonder what the giver of the gift feels.

Therefore ladies and gentleman, let us always be grateful.

Sunday, July 25, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 33

Today, the opportunity come and chase me. Its an old one, and I did send him the quotation but he didn't receive it and called me to ask me to resend. Imagine that... I should be more proactive and chase my contacts instead of the other way around. I'm still glad that he called me. Thank you. He also pointed me to some other possibilities :D

Also I got a design for a different opportunity :D and it looks great! Yes thank you.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 32

Saw what a big million dollar house looks like on the inside today. And I actually didn't like it that much. If it were mine, it will look different. I will think of what mine would look like and post it up soon. Still thankful for the opportunity to see how other people live.

Also I got the sample for an opportunity today! Thank you!

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 31

This was a good day as well.

Got another opportunity today, well sort of. First my partner mentioned the possibility of selling tshirts at a local fair. So I contacted a friend whom I knew was participating in that fair and we had tea. Not only was the idea possible I found out that joining the fair is actually not expensive. 3 weeks at the fair can make you some money! Thank you! New opportunities comes to me easily now.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 30

Catch up posts :) Been slacking. Sorry.

This day was more of a celebration. My special someone's birthday. We had a wonderful time and was lucky to be treated to a free lunch. Thank you.

Now I do see the riches coming in. The cheques have arrived from the mail. Thank you. Thank you. There will be a lot more to come :D

Friday, July 16, 2010

I am grateful for meeting 3 nice people. The first two I will be working closely with in the future. I am glad to have met them. They are a cheerful lot.

The third has a lot of stories. Whether there are true or not is not important. The important thing is the happiness that is spread.

Thank you.

Thursday, July 15, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 22

Oh dear me.. another late post. Keep on forgetting to post in the morning.. maybe I should change my posting time.

Another opportunity came by, although this one isn't the best in the world I am still grateful. The opportunity is something similar to what Paul the Octopus does.

Another plus for the day is these videos. Watch them in order.

Don't you just love internet memes.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 21

Been posting later than usual. Sorry about that.

First of all, I want to thank my father and his friend for helping me out when my car battery was flat. I left the light on what can I say. But everything went smoothly after the car started.

I also managed to follow up on a couple of issues that was on the back burner.

I'm thankful that everything worked out well.

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 20

Let me do a bit of sharing today.

Invictus - William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


Hope this gives you all motivation!

I'm grateful to have reached this far. Now let me go further!

Monday, July 12, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 19

Watched the World Cup Final . Spain won. Would have preferred it if Holland won it but oh well cest la vie. It's not important.

What is important is the continuing belief that I will succeed. I already started to compile what I want, putting them in my life, using them already :) Thank you for giving me those things that I want!

Was also thinking about other opportunities out there. High margin, small non-perishable item. I want to know more about those.

Thank you once again.

Sunday, July 11, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 18

I give thanks for my family, my gf, and my friends. What a wonderful week this has been. Here is to more. Cheers.

Saturday, July 10, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 17

Finishing off what I have to do. I'm grateful for that. Means I have received opportunities. Also thankful to have received an opportunity from a very old customer. One of the first. Viva la Universe.

Friday, July 9, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 16

Another two opportunities appeared. One was for my partner and one for me. Both are from ex colleagues. Both are regarding educational institutes. Coincidence? I think not. Thank you!

Thursday, July 8, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 15

Wow it has been 2 weeks since I started posting? Cool.

Today I am grateful that some people are not as price sensitive as I thought. I'm also glad that I have not given up.

Here is a quote from a mentor.

It's a day when I have to share my very favourite quotation from Thomas Edison - "If everybody did what they were capable of doing, they would astound themselves!" For a man who made 10,000 attempts to get the light bulb right, how many times have you really tried????? you want the answer, in a recent study it was found that most people try at the most 7 times to be successful then give up!


Also I had my wisdom tooth pulled out. It gave me a searing pain when I was having my morning tea. I rushed to the dentist and she recommended to extract the tooth. Which I did. 4 tugs it took. Less painful than I thought it would be. Thanks for being not so painful.

Wednesday, July 7, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 14

My brother proposed another opportunity. Again thank you. But this particular one was even more iffy than the previous one. What shall I do?

Before I forget, I should also give gratitude for those opportunity that has materialized into an actual job for me. Thank you.

Monday, July 5, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 13

Today a few opportunities sprang up but sort of quietly. If you didn't pay attention it would have been gone.

Actually this was from a couple of days ago, but I didn't recognise it then. My brother has led me to an opportunity. It is of something different than what I am doing but the opportunity is still there. Thank you universe and thank you bro.

Another opportunity was an innocent chat as my business partner and I went to lunch. But it seems to spark something in him and then this opportunity is handed to me. Lucky huh? Thanks!

Another is while doing some research on something else, I found a product that I may be able to sell to my clients. I'm not sure which way this will take but I have a feeling its another opportunity that has sought me out. Incredible. Thank you!

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 12

Hehe the modem decided to be grouchy again, so I posted this late.

While there was no opportunity handed to me today, I'm still thankful. Thankful that I am here healthy and positive.

Sunday, July 4, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 11

I got an interesting phone call from a friend from another city. It seems that he has received an invitation to tender for a chance to supply some software to a large company. But he has no experience selling software and installing them. So he has ask me to help him out. The universe works in mysterious ways doesn't it. Thank you.

Saturday, July 3, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 10

I am glad that a situation with a joint venture partner has been cleared. I trust that it will all work out at the end.

I am also happy and thankful to finally spend some quality time with my love.

Friday, July 2, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 9

I'm happy that I have got the new splitter for the office. No more loss of internet when a call comes in! Talking about internet, now the modem at home is also working again. Came back from the dead it did.

Yesterday another opportunity appeared before me. But this was not from a new customer. This was from a very difficult and stingy customer. I find myself filled with negative feelings and not really thankful for this opportunity. I must rid myself of these feelings and I shall do that now by giving thanks for receiving this opportunity. It may be what I need at the moment.

I shall think positively and remember my burning desire. I shall keep my dream in my heart and trust that it will be achieved.

Thursday, July 1, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 8

The opportunities shown are amazing. I have met another man, who has opened my eyes to the opportunities elsewhere. Maybe this is what is meant by wealth by creation as opposed to wealth by competition. There is a large blue ocean out there ready to be conquered. Thank you.

Wednesday, June 30, 2010

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 7

Internet at home is buggy but what happens to you is for you not against you right? Maybe the new modem will be much better.

There was another opportunity to be had. An appointment has been made. I am grateful to the Universe for that. I know things will pan out well.

Cheers.

365 Days of Gratitude - Day 6

Wow this day has turned out to be very interesting.

First of all, I am very thankful to have a business partner that is on the same wavelength as me. Not only that but we have a similar burning desire for the business that we are in.

Secondly, I've received an opportunity from Afghanistan! You heard right. And it isn't about winning the lottery there :). Not only that but the man I've met about it is such an interesting man. Seasoned traveler, published photographer and novelist. I would to give thanks for getting the chance to meet such a man. I also appreciate that he took the time to share his knowledge with me.

Finally and most importantly is the love of my life. I'm so grateful to have her in my life. Thank you.

Sunday, June 27, 2010

Meeting with a nice man

Just a quick to say thanks



Just posting my gratitude in meeting a nice man. He bringeth some opportunity. Just saying thanks first.

Monday, June 21, 2010

An epiphany

According to wikipedia, gratitude, thankfulness, or appreciation is a positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.

The book ask us to be grateful for what we have and to be grateful for what we will receive.

I was always blinded to the opportunities that lay before me. Only on certain occasion have I acknowledge the opportunity that lay before me but even more rare is myself showing any gratitude for it.

Here now I say thanks to the opportunities that have been shown to me. The feeling is definitely the same as after a kid getting present and with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes, he says thank you.

So once again. Thank you from my heart.

The Science of Getting Rich

The Science of Getting Rich is a book written by Wallace D. Wattles a century ago. Yes. 1 century. 100 years ago, 1910.

As the title states, this book is about helping you get rich. Not by giving you a million dollars but helping to develop yourself to achieving your goals.

One thing really distinguish itself to me on my first reading :
You have to believe in getting what you want.

That is why I am starting this blog. In order to help me believe.
