Nature At Work (Part 2)
By The Uneducated One
Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
From a deeper aspect, one must always learn to reflect on
oneself in a totally truthful manner. As per the Law of Cause
and Effect, if something negative is happening to you at the
present moment, then be aware that, it is actually the ‘effect’
of a ‘cause’ that you are responsible for in the past. The
‘cause’ can also be on going where the ‘effect’ is the current
continuous negative RESULT you are experiencing in life.
Nature At Work (Part 1)

I was at my usual Friday meetings with my advance group
participants. Two of my participants, husband and wife, who were
also in both my advance group and Personal Coaching sessions,
shared with me an incident that took place the previous day.
Fear
By The Uneducated One
I just received a call from one of my Personal Coaching
participants. A few days ago, one of the condominiums that he
was marketing his services to, agreed to allow him to give
preview to the residents, on his services. And today is the big
day. The chances are very high for him to secure a good number
of customers in this preview; he discovered that those attending
the preview are highly interested in his services.
Marketing My Books
By The Uneducated One
Two days ago, 26th March 2007, I received a call from two of my
participants who showed interest in marketing my three books;
‘Awareness Series: Book 1: The Seven Basic Laws of Nature’,
‘Awareness Series: Book 2: Living The Truth – Volume 1’, and the
Bahasa Malaysia (Malay Language) book ‘Siri Kesedaran: Koleksi
Artikel Kesedaran Diri’ (translated as Awareness Series: Self
Awareness Articles Collection).
Time And Space (Part 4)
By The Uneducated One
Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
‘Time’ and ‘space’ work in harmony ONLY with those who have
RESPECT for them; otherwise one’s life would be in utter chaos.
In reality, when you are in chaos, you would be clueless when
nothing seems to be moving even though you have worked really
hard. Your work would never seem to finish and there would be
constant criticizing over your work from people involved. You
are always short of time and have hardly any space to do the
things that you want to do! Well, some of you may actually be
undergoing this right this moment!
Time And Space (Part 3)

Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
There are some unscrupulous developers who do not do proper
studies, and simply clear out forests, massively, to build large
number of properties. They do not take the responsibility to
research on the environmental impact; whether there is a need
for such a big property project, whether there is genuine demand
for it, or whether they have enough financing to complete the
project.

As one disregard or disrespect the entity “timeâ€, in this case
spending quality time with the family, the entity “time†too
would ensure that lesser time is allotted to you when come to
spending time with your family.
Time And Space (Part 1)

This morning I conducted a workshop on “Time Managementâ€. I
spoke extensively on “timeâ€; since time is an important entity
in one’s life, it is only proper that it be accorded with utter
respect.
A Pleasant Week Indeed
By The Uneducated One
It was Friday morning and I was not really into stock trading.
My mind was on the events that had been taking place throughout
the week. And this brought a smile to my face. It all started
last Sunday 18th March 2007. I conducted a workshop on
“Enhancing Relationships†for my 2006 public program
participants; it was their 8th workshop.
Conversation With My Barber (Part 6)
By The Uneducated One
Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
Again I repeated to Mr. Arasu, “Yes my friend! It has to start
with you first.†He asked me how. I said that he could start by
improving his business. Mr. Arasu is an excellent barber. He may
not have the latest hairstyles or he may not own a high profile
shop to attract customers, but his customers always walk out his
shop satisfied. The star attraction of his shop is none other
than himself!
Conversation With My Barber (Part 5)
By The Uneducated One
Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
My father had always wanted me to be a doctor! Even now, after
so many years, and considering all that I have accomplished, I
still feel that deep in him he would have preferred that I be a
doctor. It is just my gut feeling, anyway. Many years ago when I
was in high school, I chose to continue my Form Six in science
stream in view of my curiosity with regards to Solar System,
Nature and the Universe in general. The other reason for
choosing science was because of my father.
Conversation With My Barber (Part 4)

Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
The son wanted to be a cook, and the father, who is my friend,
was dead against it! I laughed; I asked my friend what was wrong
in being a cook. His immediate reaction was, “Not you too! What
is wrong with you people? Why can’t my son just be an Engineer
or a Doctor? I have the money to pay for his studies!â€
Conversation With My Barber (Part 3)

Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
Then on a serious note, I said, “It is utterly important that,
before a student decides what to do with his or her life, the
student talks to someone with relevant experience to guide him
or her. Now, this matter should be taken seriously. One wrong
advice can simply destroy a student’s life!â€. Mr. Arasu nodded
in agreement.
Conversation With My Barber (Part 2)

After we had our laugh, I continued with my explanation. “It is
extremely important to become aware that each and everyone of us
have a specific purpose to be here on this planet, just as all
other existences. Each one of us is unique and special. As such,
it is only proper that the growth of a person follows the basic
pattern plan of his or her life and NOT a general pattern! Let
me give some examples.â€
Conversation With My Barber (Part 1)

“I know you had a long week. I am aware that you are tired. I
also know that you have plenty of things to do but….. PLEASE GET
A HAIRCUT!†said my wife with a “I mean it†look on her face! I
took a look at myself in the mirror and quickly nodded, agreeing
with her. I did look shabby with my hair not trimmed.
The Art Of Saving (Part 5)
By The Uneducated One
Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
Consider this. If you have a heart problem, you would seek the
advice of the best heart specialist that you can afford. You may
not know him personally. He may not even be your friend. In fact
he may be a cold and annoying person. However, you would STILL
seek his advice no matter what you feel because he IS competent
in his field! I am sure you would not seek the advice of your
neighbor or your plumber should you need a bypass surgery!
Unless, of course, your neighbor or plumber is indeed a
competent doctor or surgeon!
The Art Of Saving (Part 4)
By The Uneducated One
Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
These days, banks require investors to start with a certain
minimum amount of money to open a savings account. As such, keep
your money in a small kitty somewhere safe until you reach the
required minimum amount. Once the money is enough, open a simple
savings account and deposit your savings.

Most people “think†or plan to keep some money away for savings,
every month. In reality, it’s not as easy as it has been
‘thought’ or planned. Let me explain through an example. This
person, who is a monthly wage earner, thinks of saving money. He
first tells himself that only when he has settled all the
expenses for the month, would he set aside some money into the
save, of whatever that is left from his salary. If you had tried
this method, you would know that almost all the time you would
end up having nothing left to save! There are two major reasons
to this failure.

Some people make the mistake of borrowing money or securing
loans just to invest in financial instruments. A piece of
advice, here; never ever do that especially if you are just
starting to learn and dabble a little in the investment world.
Although this is a common thing among the well-experienced
investors in the commodities and financial markets, it is not
advisable unless one has a very sound knowledge and experience
in the markets. Even these experienced investors and traders are
extremely cautious when they trade using loans (from the bank).

Last night, my wife received a call from two of our Personal
Coaching participants. They were full of joy as they shared with
her about their first savings money that they had just banked
in; the savings was the profit from the projects, the outcome of
Personal Coaching sessions, and they had deposited this profit
into their respective savings account.
Whatever The Mind Can Conceive And Believe…..
By The Uneducated One
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve!â€,
said Napolean Hill, whom is considered by many as the father of
motivation and awareness in America in the 1900s. The above
powerful caption is embedded firmly in my heart; I strongly
believe in the caption as I have experienced it many times over
throughout my life.
A Roller Coaster Ride (Within And Without) Part 3
By The Uneducated One
Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
Through my sixth sense, the ability to think, I was becoming
aware of what was happening to me. A person basically, has four
bodies; the spiritual body, intellectual body, emotional body
and physical body (including the physical senses). My emotional
body and physical body were insanely caught up with the current
event that was taking place around me; my physical senses were
highly influenced by tremendous amount of negative inputs from
the people around me and the present event (markets plunging)
that was taking place.

Continued from yesterday’s blog…..
Not only was the market on a roller coaster ride, so were my
partner and I. There was so much of anxiety within us. My
partner has been in the markets for more than 25 years, much
longer than I. He is my mentor as far as trading is concerned.
Based on his experience in life, I take him as a man of great
wisdom.
A Roller Coaster Ride (Within And Without) Part 1
By The Uneducated One
The past two weeks, 27th February 2007 to 5th March 2007, was
like a roller coaster ride for the world financial markets. It
started off with a massive sell off in the Shanghai Stock
Exchange (SSEC) on 27th February; the SSEC index plunged more
than 9% at its worst levels! This in return rattled the rest of
the world financial markets.
Practicing Your Craft
By The Uneducated One
Today, Ganesan and Rani of Pusat Tuisyen Sri Makmur (Sri Makmur
Tuition Center), Cheong of Uetsu Enterprise (teaches Japanese
language, also a translator), Kumareswaran of Pusat Yoga Arogya
(Arogya Yoga Center) and Gengkes of Chessmaster Enterprise
(teaches chess to children and students), together with my wife
and I, met up.

He asked me what I meant by that. I related to him about Ramesh,
the graphic designer, whom I had blogged on 8th February 2007. Prior
to doing what he is doing now (which includes graphic designing,
desktop publishing, re-branding and other works related to
creative designing), he was doing everything else but what
matters most to him! He was involved in a stock broking firm, in
managing a restaurant, telemarketing, and many other trades.

This morning, I met another participant. He is a very talented
cartoonist. His ability to convert written texts into cartoons
with expressions is truly astonishing. He is currently working
as a supervisor in one of the factories. He is not in my
Personal Coaching program and I normally meet him during the
workshops I conduct for the factory he works at.
Taking Action (Part 2)

I repeated what I said earlier. Most people belong to the
category of thoughts, some to the category of words and a very
few rare individuals to the category of actions.
Taking Action (Part 1)
By The Uneducated One
After my Personal Coaching Session with Ganesan and Rani on 25th
February 2007 (blogged here), I immediately start to put our
plan into action. Firstly, I fixed a meeting with other Personal
Coaching participants involved in the plan; Kumareswaran, Cheong
and Gengkes. Kumareswaran teaches yoga (blogged here), Cheong
teaches Japanese language and Gengkes teaches chess.
