11 Golden Rules To Live By - (repost)

1.) Live Within Your Means
In order to be truly independent, it's imperative to live within your means. Your freedom is limited by owing money to anyone, whether it's a credit card company or a family member, so set yourself up for an unrestricted life by saving for the things you want and spending with a plan.

2.) Work Hard
Your job and the salary you command are your biggest assets in building wealth. Do your best at work and take the steps to make yourself indispensable to set yourself up for the highest level of success.

3.) Research Before You Act
Whether you're comparing travel package and a la carte prices for a vacation or looking up a company to see if it's legitimate, research is almost always worth your time.

4.) Avoid Buyer's Remorse
Feeling guilty just doesn't sit well. Avoid buyer's remorse by asking yourself these questions before making a purchase: Do I love it? How often would I wear or use it? Can I afford it? Could I find it cheaper somewhere else?

5.) Avoid Saver's Remorse
There is such a thing as being too thrifty for your own good. What's the point of squirreling away so much cash if you can't splurge occasionally on yourself and others? Include an amount of discretionary money into your budget to spend on things that you might not desperately need, but would make you smile.

6.) Strive For Happiness
Finding a job that makes you happy most of the time is possible, and it's worth taking risks to discover what fulfills you. If for one reason or another you're stuck in a position that isn't ideal, at least strive to end your day with something that does make you happy.

7.) Go For Quality, Not Quantity
Stuffing your closet with items that will fall apart in three months is a silly way to spend your hard earned cash. Buy a smaller quantity of things that are made to last, and you'll be the owner of higher quality items that look and feel like they're worth your money.

8.) Face Your Weaknesses Head-On
We're not perfect, but admitting that you have weaknesses and doing your best to improve will allow you to continue growing. Invest time in yourself to be the most well-rounded person you can be.


9.) Save For the Predictable and the Unexpected
We're all going to face retirement someday, and the best time to save for it is now. The golden years are inevitable. On the other hand, we also need to be prepared for the unexpected, like job loss or a medical emergency, so that we can remain in control of our finances even when other things aren't going our way.

10.) Negotiate
Doors aren't closed until you hear the word no. Negotiating things like salary and benefits can get you ahead of the game, and all you need is the confidence to ask.

11.) Set Goals on Top of Goals
Cap the feeling that you're going through the motions by revising your goals when you've accomplished your old ones. Whether it's saving for a vacation to a place you've always wanted to visit or considering the next step in your career, there's always something to keep you moving and motivated.

Now We’re Talking

Ocotber 9, 2009

The realization of a five-year old dream has finally begun. Realtime! Bigtime!

The pressure is on, for real. I’ve been ecstatic since I accepted the task given to me by the boss. Although I don’t know where to begin but the amazing thing is I’m very much looking forward to it optimistically. It is like I know I’m going to accomplish it without reservations. Now we’re talking.

I know I can do it; all I’ve got to do is finish it rightfully on time. I guess it is time to give little efforts in erasing my previous habits in doing my work. I know this may sound stupidly annoying, I’m getting annoyed myself.

Day of Exhaustion

October 7, 2009
From 9-10 PM


Just arrived from work and I really felt the exhaustion of the day’s work. Guess what I did the whole day: sat in front of the computer terminal and browse the internet the whole day. Who would have thought that sitting the whole day a tiresome work? Nobody, nobody but me.

Now that I’m back to my favorite green monoblock chair and still infront of my computer, I’ve no energy left to do my stuff. All I want is to play some desktop games or watch an episode of “Chuck”.

Haiiizzzt… But then again, I have to work on a prototype Employees’ Record System for another deadline. Maybe a few minutes of Hamster or Platypus and I will be back rolling again. And I’ve got a game tomorrow. Basketball that is, waah… Crazy, really crazy.

Back to my workstation again! See yah next upload. Got some few pics to upload also.

Change of Views

It is been a long time since I look at this keyboard and notice how the letters and numbers will be my refuge in another little misfit.

Oh dear, now that I read back those lines, I could not even remembered my last article. Seems like I’m the same as ever. Nothing has changed, nothing is changing, and nothing will change. This is me, and as I see myself now, I’m not destined to do great things. As I’m thinking the next words for this article, I cruise a little journey back to memory lane, wherein I categorized myself as a dreamer and as a future achiever. But all is gone and few little ingenuity was left from those unlimited pit of dreams.

How my life turned a BIG U-Turn this way, I don’t know. In a matter of few months, I may make or break my life. Together with it, my dreams, my little prayers, my goals and even the relationship I have with the people I love.

Isn’t it strange? When a time in your life would come that you have never expected, and then you don’t know what to do or handle everything. I wish I could adapt. Because that is what humans do, adapt to the situation, make the best out of it and learn from those mistakes. And hope to God darn well that you will never make the same mistakes all over again.

I noticed as of late that my views of life have changed. From the disapprovingly pessimistic person to an overly eager optimist, I have gradually transformed. I don’t like it and as always will try a little harder to become what I want to be myself ideally. But then of course, there will be a lot to be done. There is no stopping it now.

As I end this article I would share a little saying from a dear friend of mine, Bill Cosby (ASA).

”I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody”.

It seems like that saying had been the missing link to my current situation. I’m pleaser but it brought nothing good to my life.
