Be Significant

Mother Theresa and people like her are all significant. They made a difference to the lives of those around them. It is great to earn a lot of money, but it is more significant to made a difference to the people around you and make their lives better with your presence here on this earth. Steve Jobs make a difference to our lives by creating the iPhone, iPod, etc. and made our lives better with technology and smart phones. Bill Gates created Windows operating system and Microsoft Office applications that make businesses run seamlessly. We need to be grateful for such contributions from these people who made a significant difference to our lives. Let's hope Hillary Clinton become successful in becoming Madam President of the United States in the next presidential election and make a significant difference to the lives of women.

Making Money on My Own

I have a full time employment to work in a home office. At the same time, whenever I am free, I will scout around for work to earn a little extra from the internet. This is like milking the internet which has been my cash cow since years ago. Just the other day, I got an offer for USD 30 to place a link on my other web site for a year and it is quite lucrative since I don't have to write anything but just link to the pre-written article on the web site. It is possible to make money from the internet but you have to be diligent to look around for opportunities daily. I try to earn both linear income and passive income.

Linear income is you work for 1 hour and get paid once for the hour's work while passive income is you work once but get paid repeatedly and hence rich people have multiple streams of passive income. Property rental, fixed deposit interests, dividend stocks, etc are all passive income that you should consider. They are not difficult to earn and you can make a lot of money by diversifying your sources of income. Make hay while the sun shines.

Uncle passed away

My aunt's hubby, or 'ah tiau' has passed away on Monday night. He's in his late seventies and this shouldn't have happened had the doctors at the General Hospital been more reactive and attended to his illness immediately. On Sunday night, he complained of pain in his right chest and every 2 to 3 months, he has blood test done and everything was normal. But on that day, they discovered that he has anemia and low blood pressure. Well, due to the incompetency of the doctors at GH, he could not be saved on time and passed on. My aunt, naturally was very disheartened that a simple symptom like this could cause death due to delay. Had they been rich or have insurance covered, they would have gone to a private hospital where care is more personalized and professional. I remember the good times we spent together when I was young and my uncle was the one who arranged with his nephew pilot to have me seated in the cock pit en route to Singapore for my junior college scholarship studies. I could not attend the funeral tomorrow but I wish him divine mercy and grace.

Making Money is Fun

I am still gainfully employed with the same company for the last 9 years. Making money is certainly fun with this employer where I get a chance to work from home. Plus the fact that I am most productive when working all alone in a home office with no disturbance from office colleagues. This is the ideal job for me. It is also my longest employment that I will never seek greener pastures elsewhere. I love this job as it is easy to accomplish albeit with many work at times. The employer is also my good friend and we get along just fine. I can also take power naps in between work when I am tired. I could not ask for more and will try my utmost best to work for as long as possible so that the company is profitable at all times or 90% of the time. God has indeed blessed me with a dream job to work in a home office that is equipped with multi-functional printer, scanner, copier, fax machine and a digital camera.

Working from Home Means the World to Me

I have just updated the company web site with completed projects as references including the profile. Took me the whole of yesterday, working non-stop to get this done with. Indeed, working from home means the world to me. I am happy to say that I earn a comfortable salary just doing the things I love in a home office. I also get to take power naps in between work. Being trained in IT, I can work efficiently with the computer softwares and the internet. It is noteworthy to say that I have reached the millionaire status in net worth, simply by accumulating my savings month by month ever since I am a partner in this business in 2004. I have complete freedom to do as I like and work conscientiously every day. If needed, I can just fire up the computer to work at night as well. This partnership is a win-win basis for everyone involved including our blue-collar workers.

Stayed at Mandarin Oriental Hotel

I just came back from a 1 night stay at Mandarin Oriental Hotel in KLCC. As we are members of the Elite Club, we get 50% discount off the room rate with free upgrade to a park view room. We also used the voucher for a free buffet lunch at Mosaic Restaurant in Mandarin Oriental. We also took the opportunity to watch Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra entitled 18th Century Evocations featuring music by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, etc. The dress code was smart casual and they have relaxed it a bit from long sleeve formal batik. No shorts, slippers, sports shoes are allowed. It was an enjoyable experience on the whole. It makes working hard more meaningful when we are able to spend a little now and then while taking a break from work.
