Lets play… The Game Of Life!

Life is like a game. The objective of life is to win it.
There are many levels in life. Each level has its own boss and difficulty level. These are obstacles in life. Our job is to defeat the boss.
Whenever we get stuck in a level, its time to sought help from others. This can be in the form of getting tips of friends who have already passed the level or working together to pass a particular level.

There are many levels. It could be Family Level 1, Friends Level 2, Love Level 3 or Business level 48. Each time we pass a level, we will move on to the next. Sometimes in order to pass a certain level, we need to pass levels from different categories first. Sometimes, we have to revisit earlier levels to re-learn things we forget.

Like all games, the purpose of games is entertainment or enjoyment. Thats why, we must always enjoy the game of life. Don’t get too frustrated over one level. Revisit older levels and remind yourself of your previous achievements. Even if you can’t pass level 10 of Career, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be proud that you are at much higher levels of other categories.

I play the Game Of Life to win.

So… do you wanna play?

Challenge, Inspiration, Life Lessons

My official birthday post. This year has been a roller coaster ride for me compared to the last. It’s a whole different ball game we’re playing. What am I talking about? The transition from a student into a worker. A kid into an adult. A boy into a man. Within the short few months since I started work, I can say i’ve been through many ups and downs, all which has helped me grow into a better person in all aspects of life, as well as help me realize my true self even more.

Career

After coming back from UK, i bummed for a few months before starting work in mid November. Believe me, if I knew what i know now, I would have “bummed” for even longer. Peer pressure drew me into applying for my job, as the thought of finally getting to deal with patients after a gruelling 4 years of study was very enticing, not to mention the ‘cool factor’ of being a healthcare professional. So I came into work and realized everything I learnt was practically useless in the pharmacy. No hands on experience. But of course i’m exaggerating abit. Deep down inside we are applying our clinical knowledge to our practice day by day.

In March 2009, I decided that I wanted to quit my job as a pharmacist. Once again, I was influenced by all the people around me doing great things at their age – Khailee, Khaisiung, Edmund to name a few. I felt that my talent and skills can be better utilized not inside a hospital. Furthermore, i’m privelledged to be surrounded by these intelligent individuals. I have all the resources, mentorship and drive to do something more. That drove me to do Internet Marketing as shown by my Home Biz Blog. Thank goodness I have been quite savvy with technology since I was a little kid. I picked up things that took my eldest brother 3 years to learn thanks to his guidance. Ever since, I have been devouring books -online and offline, educating myself in order to acquire the skills to quit my job. Life has been super exciting for me especially after work, where I get to focus on my Internet Business.

Recently, my attention has been slightly drawn away to more interesting prospects. The prospect of starting my own company with a grant of 150k. This has been my biggest challenge yet – Working nights away to acquiring the grant, sacrificing my sleep, healthy lifestyle etc. But in order to succeed you have to pay a price. And i’m willing to go all the way to achieve my dreams.

Health
Ever since coming to Muar, my healthy lifestyle which I adopted has massively detiorated. due to factors such as the trouble of cooking, shopping for healthy food etc and lack of time, not to mention the tiredness and how easy it is to get a quick meal in Muar at a cheap price.  I still try and cover back by implementing insane 20 minute workouts which have been proven for fat burning. But i no longer hit the gym, go for jogs/runs or boil my food. This is the sacrifice I made for my career. At least for now until I get back to KL. When I get back KL, i’m going to buy lots of workout equipment and practice different workout routines I love to experiment.

Relationships

I’ve established a greater bond with my family members. Especially my brothers, after going for the 3-day Millionaire Mind Intensive. I think we all have something in common now haha. My parents have been very supportive of my plans and I am very grateful for it. My friends are going through the same journey as I am. We are all re-discovering ourselves, constantly growing, taking risks, stepping out of our comfort zones As for romance – I believe that I have alot more to learn throughout the way to becoming a better person and a better lover. Co-workers, i am glad that in general, the people here in Muar are very nice and although they might not share the same ideals as me, I can always count on their endless support and cheerful smiles to brighten up my day and also to make life much easier in the hospital. Sure there’sa fair share of ups and downs, but we learn and grow from it

Self-Actualization

I still have a long way to go. Lots to learn, lots of mistakes to make, lots of tears of sorrow and joy to share. Lots to grow. But in any case, I will face whatever challenges life brings me and I will grow stronger to overcome these problems with ease.

So that’s a quick overview about my year. Perfect for those who wish to catchup with me.

Challenge, Happy Birthday, Inspiration

The coming week is going to be insane. But yet I feel super excited now despite working during the weekend (offline and online )

Anyway, here are my goals for the coming week(s):

1) Apply for MDEC Pre-seed Grant

2)Build my business plan for the grant by researching up in the hospital, talking to bosses etc.

3) ***TOP SECRET***

4) Own the Pertandingan Mencipta Logo Jabatan Farmasi

5) Make the most mind-blowing CPE Session this coming thursday

6) Start creating my paid product

Sounds super hectic doesn’t it ? But i’m not deterred one bit. In fact, i’m more fired up than ever! I just finished reading The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and I must say the book really re-enforced the stuff I learnt at the seminar. I shall commit to re-reading it every month! And guys, I think i just found the secret to staying motivated. The secret is to constantly step out from your comfort zone. How? Just look at the list of things I have to do this week. It started with 2 damnit. The key is to keep challenging myself with more and more tasks to keep me on my toes. I can’t wait to see the results!

Excitedly,

Khai

Challenge, Inspiration

My parents have voiced their concerns to me via email about the challenge i am pursuing. To be honest, when I decided to announce this challenge, I expected mixed responses from my family, friends and even other like minded internet marketers. Some have been encouraging while others have sneered at me. This has not deterred me one bit as I am open to all forms of criticism and encouragement. For those who support me, you have my thanks. =)

My family has all reason to worry about my sudden intentions. for 22 years, they have fed, sheltered and paid for my education – all the way until I proudly hold my Pharmacy Scroll among the Glasgow Winds. For that, mum and dad, I will never be able to repay your debt. No words can express my gratitude for all that you have given me.

I have sent an email to my parents clarifying that I am not giving up my degree nor do i intend on letting them down. I am taking this challenge because I have a dream. I believe that people should be able to pursue their passions freely and live life to their full potential. I believe that people should seize every oppurtunity to work towards a happier and more fulfilling life.

I’ve got nothing to lose, only time. Speaking about time, i’m typing this blog post while waiting for wordpress to load. The internet connection here is horrible – but just a minor setback.
