Singh is King Movie My Point of View

2008-08-08T18:07:00.004+08:00

"Singh is King" is a Hindi film starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. About 75% of the movie was shot in Australia, around the Gold Coast region and Brisbane using an Australian production team (Instinct India).

Akshay Kumar plays Happy Singh. He's truly a King at heart - brave, compassionate, noble and helpful. But he's an equally flawed human - gullible, foolhardy and accident - prone. Circumstances often overwhelm him and his efforts to do good almost always have the opposite effect. In fact, each time he sets out to help somebody, his entire village shudders at the prospect of impending disaster, when they send him on a mission that's seemingly impossible, they underestimate his ability to not just overcome the odds but also transform those he encounters on a journey that takes him halfway across the world.

Its a story about Happy Singh, a Punjabi Sikh. He is very mischievous and gets involved in a number of disastrous situations, so the villagers plan to send him to Australia to bring back his fellow villager, Lucky Singh. It is then revealed that Lucky is an underworld Don in Australia. Then, in an accident, Happy saves Lucky but still Lucky becomes paralysed. Hence, Happy becomes the new king of the Australian Underworld.

Here is my take on this movie. First you need to know I've not seen it yet but I've read alot of reviews on this movie.

The storyline is similar to “Jo Bole So Nihaal”. Thats just fine but the question arises what this storyline has to do with the title “Singh is King” and a Sikh hero. It simply shows that the Sikh element was roped in to cash on to the Punjabi people (not only Sikhs) living all over the globe. The first half of the movie does has its moments but not in the required quantity. The second half dips down with unwanted love triangle plot and the viewer is left asking for more.

Personally I think the whole movie is very dis-respectful to the Sikh community and portray Sikhs unfavorably (a guy with turban and no beard) to the movie's patrons. There are many scenes which I question the message it sends to young sikh kids but some people will argue its only a movie and no point making a big who-haah about it.

Akshay Kumar did apologized to the Sikh community for certain parts of the film where Sikhs were not portrayed respectfully, he said "If I've made a mistake, lord forgive me and I will try to rectify my mistake," and the filmmaker Vipul said "We wanted to make sure that the community is happy with the film, that is why we went up to them and showed the film to them. There are some changes they expected us to make and we have done that,"

So at then end, I think this movie is very disappointing but should be entertaining . You can bet to see young Sikh kids and teens running around singing the theme song "Singh is King" everywhere. Maybe some good will come out of this movie...who knows.

Thinking of Upgrading my mobile to Nokia E71

2008-08-08T17:47:00.004+08:00

I fell in love with this beautiful mobile phone The Nokia E71 is awesome, its just the right size and has WLan and Bluetooth. They made it easy for the owner to read their emails on the phone its self. Thats just perfect for me because I cant live without my emails. I get about 200 emails daily and I have to reply at least 20% of them on a daily basis. With this phone, I can reply my emails while having my morning cup of coffee. Its just cool and the price is right too. Its about RM1999 original and AP goes for RM1500.

I'm Leaving to Australia in October for Good!

2008-07-09T22:03:00.002+08:00

My Australian PR just got approved!

They have given me about 6 months to get my ass over there but me and my family have decided to leave on end of October. Actually we already set a date, I will fly off on the 25th of October 2008.

Selamat Tinggal Malaysia ... ha ha

Hardy my brother is already living in Melbourne, Australia, so I will join him there. He is living with my uncle's home but when I get there, we will get our own place. I really dont know what I will do there but most probably continue my Online Business and I always love Coffee and I think I want to invest in a CAFE in Melbourne town or a near a Student Community town in Melbourne.

Looks like my destiny and future is in Australia. I feel excited and grateful for the PR status but I'm feeling a little worried as well because of Starting all over again and need to learn everything all over again.

People say its good I get to leave Malaysia since it looks like Malaysia is heading to more racial issues and all. But I've always felt the grass is greener at the neighbor's yard is just an illusion, as much as Australia is better then Malaysia, its not a perfect country and living in Australia is not as easy as people think it is....however no matter where we end up, its up to us to really make it and not where we are that makes a difference.

Anyways I've not told anyone yet about my PR status only because I dont want to advertise it, thats just lame. The only vanity plug is here on this blog. I'll only tell people who ask me directly. If I have my way I'll love just to slip away to Australia without anyone knowing off it. I dont want to make a big deal about it.

BlueHyppo TMnet Free Wordpress Blogs

2008-07-02T13:21:00.004+08:00

A friend asked me to check out Bluehyppo TMnet free blog system. It seems they are using wordpress Multi-user platform. So I registered my self to check out their blog services.

Well the first thing I found is the registration process is flawed. It wont directly create for you a blog, you need to get an account with bluehyppo portal and then get back to HyppoBlogger and create a blog.

The blog is powered by WORDPRESS MULTI-USER so looks good at the admin however I really dont like the theme selection they have. Overall its an ok blogging site. You may want to check it out yourself.

Is Your Life On Cruise Control?

2008-04-27T18:46:00.003+08:00

Here is something I wrote couple of years back, I figured I publish it on this blog.

What do you really want?

I got an interesting answer to that question. A lot of us have our life on cruise control. Don’t you sometimes feels where did January and February went? It just seem like yesterday I was celebrating New years with your friends and family.

If have a normal life which I assume you have one. You most probably start your day getting up around 6am and rushing through your breakfast, only to get to work on time. The rest of the day you spend your time slogging in your job and that’s not a bad thing some people like slogging. By the time you get back home, its probably around 6:30pm or 7:00pm. You are tired, cranky and just want to relax and enjoy a moment of peace. You will probably spend a maximum of only 3 hours with your family before its time to sleep for the next day.

And the next day is the same thing, over and over again. You will always be working for something. First is to make enough money to get married, then its to make enough money for a new house and car. When you get all of that you’ll start working to ensure you have a better life with your new family. Later the miracle of kids come into your life and you are so happy that you forget you have to work twice harder to support your kids, wife, home and car. There is always some excuse to get your self slogging again.

By the time you come to the time when you can just relax and enjoy your life you find you don’t have the energy and jest you used to have.

There is nothing wrong with Cruise Controlled life. Some people prefer it and stand by it as the only way. For me I want something different.

I was once told a story of a man that was the richest in his land but he was never always the richest. He started working when he was 18 years of age and work. He never really like his job but he kept working, then he got married but he never really like his wife. He choose her because it was convenient and he felt he can live with her. He kept working and working. Later his kids came into this world and the only thing he loved in his life was his kids. He kept working. By the time his kids grew up and started working them self he finally became rich but he kept working because the only thing he knew to do. When it came time to leave this world, at his death bed he looked deep into his wife and said his last few words. They were “ I wish I spend the gift of life on things that brought me joy"

Just like that man I don’t want to spend this gift of life on things that don’t bring me joy. I want to experience my life’s joy. I want to know that when its my time to leave this world, I would have spent a meaningful and purposeful life and experience everything I wanted. I want to marry the women that can love me and I will not settle for anything less till I find her even if it means going to the ends of the world. I will not settle for less! I want to see and meet different people and cultures. I want to know the world! My life starts at 28 and I wont settle for less even if it means going against the social norm.

I am taking my life out of cruise control and really start driving it to really enjoy the journey for the first time.

Here is the disclaimer, I am not saying that having your life on cruise control is something bad. If you are currently living that life or going to start living that life and you prefer to be safe rather then having an adventure with your life. I recommend you don’t start worrying because you are on the right path. There are some restless souls out there like me who believes in adventures and experiencing life. We are not so different for you, we too are looking to be safe but our security is in the unknown, in the adventure, in the ability to do what we want with life rather then let social norms limit us. All I am doing here is bring to you a different perspective and if you jive with it, please do something about it or you will never enjoy your life.

So Is your life in cruise control?

Im on Facebook!

2008-03-28T17:38:00.003+08:00

I must admit embrassingly I did not know how to use Facebook, I didnt even have a facebook profile until early this year. It is so different from Friendster. Better late then never, I finally got my very own facebook profile.

I got used to it after spending some time on it. I found that facebook can be quite addictive once you get a hang of it.

When I started I had no idea whats a application and what to actual do with them. There are some really awesome application you can add to your facebook profile.

I do still get annoyed when "my friends" keep pimping weird and annoying applications to add to my profile. If one has lots of free time to burn, then facebook will just right for them.

I've created my profile, a Fan page for SNSM, a group page for Fellowship Camp and a group page for Malaysian United Sikh Students. I'm learning more cool stuff on facebook, in the future I will be adding more pages for my Business and my products.

The best thing about facebook I feel is the flexibility of it. You can do almost anything to your facebook profile, page or group. If you can't find an application to do what you want, you could always pay someone to code it for you. The viral effect of creating a application and sharing it on facebook is awesome. One of my internet marketing buddy, tested the viral effect of facebook and within days he had 200,000 people using his application on facebook. This is wonderful in the world of online marketing because we need to reach out to as many people as possible to sell our products.

New Look For the Blog

2008-03-27T20:05:00.002+08:00

The last I wrote anything on this blog was like ages ago. Dont you find most bloggers tend to say that. Well Im guilty of not updating my blog, sue me! I've been busy and I have the right to do that. Its my time.

While I cant promise I'll start posting regularly, I can however pledge that this blog will be up and alive for at least another couple of years. Or until I get married and my wife tells me all of this blogging is silly territory.

I've been adding quite a number of random videos to this blog and not much from my personal life. That will change as I will focus more on the personal stuff but remember I am still a very private person.

I changed the gloomy template I had before to this simple and easy template. I am strong believer of 'Keeping it Simple'. No fancy stuff here, just me and my view on life.

I've gotta go do more busy stuff now, so enjoy and why not visit my Facebook profile. I have been spending some time on facebook and I think its awesome. Check out my profile here

This december I'll be helping SNSM and the Samelan media crew with their blog. I'll more on the technical side of things by helping them run a wordpress blog instead of writing articles. Make sure you check it out and remember to leave a comment while you're there.

Some time in December 2007, some 1500 participants and sewadars from around the globe will come together in a small town in Malaysia called Klang. It will be the time of the year when we all recharge ourselves with the Guru's message.

www.snsm.org.my/samelan2007

This is a global event which is eagerly awaited by Sikhs from around the globe. It is about time we reveal to you the key to a successful Samelan. The first Samelan was held at the sea-side town of Port Dickson in 1963 and has been running successfully for the past 43 years. Almost every Sikh in Malaysia has been a part of the Samelan one way or another. It is time we reveal the key of a successful Samelan. Something special has been arranged for the global audience who are unable to attend the Samelan on a daily basis and for Sikhs around the global who cannot attend the Samelan. It will be our very own daily live coverage from ground zero.

www.snsm.org.my/samelan2007

We have a small team of 4 sewadars who have pledged to give up their 1 week of Samelan for this cause. We will be updating the daily activities of the Samelan with loads of pictures and hopefully videos. Our main objective is to reach a global audience on the work done by the Malaysian community for the Malaysian youths by using Samelans as a tool.

www.snsm.org.my/samelan2007

We plan to go one step further by also providing events leading up to the Samelans. The 7 days programme in the Samelan, require a minimum 70 days of planning which is usually unseen by the Sangat. We plan to shed some light on the planning process and also the days after the Samelan. Please visit the website regularly to know more about the Samelan!!! See you on the BLOG!!!

25 tips toward boosting your confidence and self-esteem.

2007-08-15T00:49:00.000+08:00

1. Love Yourself:
This can take a bit of practice and looks really funny, but try it, it works. When you wake up, give yourself a great big hug. Do the same when it’s time for sleep. You’ve heard this said a million times before: “How can you expect others to love you if you don't love yourself?” It’s true. Practice the morning and evening hugs for 2 weeks, maybe 3 weeks if you're the stubborn type, and you’ll see how well it works.

2. Look in the mirror:
Every time you pass a mirror, look into it and flash your biggest and best smile at yourself. It might feel strange at first, but eventually it’ll make you feel brilliant about yourself. Tell yourself “Looking good!” or “Wow, I love me!” or similar phrases often enough to actually start believing it.

3. Do things that make you feel good:
This can be anything from listening to music, trekking in the Andes, doing some volunteer work or even just taking a shower. Anything that gives you a positive feeling about yourself works for this one.

4. Listen to YOU:
Face it. Nobody knows you better than you know yourself, no matter how many people try to tell you differently. So if your body, mind or gut is telling you something, then take notice of it, and don't worry about what other people may possibly have to say about it.

5. Talk to YOU:
In times of stress, take a time-out break. Wander into your own mind and have a conversation with yourself about anything at all. Tell yourself how lucky you are to be you, and praise yourself for every good and positive thing you can attribute to yourself.

6. Remove negatives:
If anything feels like it’s dragging you down, get rid of it. If it’s clutter, tidy up, if it’s a friend full of negativity explain nicely that you don’t really feel up to talking right now.

7. Surround with positives:
Surround yourself with things that bring out good feelings in you. Examples could be things such as happy, upbeat friends, a nice new picture, a new car, an old comfy blanket, candles, pictures of your family, your girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse etc.

8. Rumours Die:
Did you hear something about somebody who said something about somebody else? Drop it! Rumours are nasty, horrible things that will only bring you down. Best way to kill a rumour? Ignore it!

9. Total Honesty:
Be totally honest with yourself at all times. If there’s something you don't like, admit it. If there’s something you don’t want to do “right now” and it isn’t necessary for health and safety reasons then just don’t do it until you feel like it.

Same goes for the positive aspects. If there’s something you want to do, and it’s not hurting anybody, then go ahead and do it. If you start feeling great about yourself for no apparent reason admit it and enjoy the feeling.

10. Responsibility
Take full responsibility for your own actions. Don't shove the blame for anything over onto someone or something else. We all make choices in our lives, and once we take responsibility for those choices we tend to choose better for ourselves.

Once we start to choose better, we feel better and things start falling into place. On the other hand, don't take over someone else’s responsibilities just because you feel “you have to”.

11. Pretend:
If you feel unsafe, unsure or nervous then go inside yourself and pretend you’re a hot-shot lawyer, actor, actress, singer or whatever you need to be. Make believe you’re presenting yourself as that person would until you feel better. Trust me, you WILL feel better, and eventually have no need to be anything but yourself.

12. Keep Trying:
If you’re trying to do something but don't get it right first time round, then try again, and again, and again, constantly learning from your mistakes until you get it right. When you finally DO get it right, you’ll feel wonderful about it.

13. Credit where credit is due:
If you’ve done something really good, and people compliment you on it, accept the compliments with thanks! Understand that they’re complimenting because they really ARE impressed with what you’ve done.

Believe in you and give yourself a pat on the back. (Although physically it would probably be easier to just give yourself a round of applause).

14. Stand Tall:
Standing up straight will ALWAYS make you feel better about yourself than slouching does. Stand with your feet slightly apart, suck in your tummy and behind, broaden your shoulders and straighten your neck. It’s an amazingly quick confidence boost.

15. Say Hello:
Make it a rule to say hi to at least one person you don't know EVERY day. Give them the smile you flash at yourself in the mirror, the biggest and best one you can find. They’ll smile back automatically, and they’ll walk away with a little extra confidence boost thanks to you.

People look their best when they smile, and they also feel better by smiling too! This ultimately means you get a confidence boost too, for making someone else feel good about themselves.

16. Never Say Never....Ever:
If you think something can’t be done, then you'll end up proving yourself right eventually. So never say never, just keep plugging along until it works for you. If other people are telling you it can’t be done, you're going to feel such immense satisfaction at actually doing it that your confidence will soar.

17. Get Active:
Don't sit around the house just doing nothing. Get up, go out, cycling, walking, exercising, anything that might invigorate your brain. A lively brain full of thoughts will help you gain confidence.

18. “Happy Foods”:
Happy foods, such as chocolate, strawberries, lemons, ice-cream etc will increase the serotonin levels in your brain, leading to an increased feeling of happiness.

Feeling happy is a natural confidence boost. So go on, enjoy your food! (in moderation, of course).

19. Face Your Fear:
Is there something you are afraid of? Face it full on. Doing something scary and overcoming the fear is a fantastic way to boost your confidence. So go on, jump out of that plane (with a parachute of course), drive that car, speak in front of a large crowd, ask for a promotion, or whatever it is that scares you. You'll feel absolutely brilliant once it’s done.

20. Willpower:
Create a goal that you really want to reach. Possibly something like weight loss before a certain time, giving up smoking or having a certain amount of money in the bank within so many months etc. Take baby steps, and use your willpower until you succeed at reaching your goal.

It will be really hard, as will power can be very elusive at times, but keep going and don't give up. Once you have reached that first goal by using your willpower you will have the confidence to create new goals AND reach them.

21. Ask questions:
Any time you find yourself worrying about something you haven’t done, or something you think you should have done, ask yourself positive questions. Instead of thinking “I’m terrible for missing my friend’s birthday” think “What can I do to make my friend feel special?”

Or, instead of “Why can’t I ever seem to do things on time?” change it to “What can I change to better manage my time” Creating positive questions will release the negative energies which have a tendency to pull down your self confidence.

22. Learn:
Accept that not everything works out the way we plan it. Decide to accept any mistakes and rejections as part of a learning curve that we all need to go through.

Without mistakes, you can’t learn from your own experiences. Remember, experience builds confidence, so always learn as much as you can.

23. List:
Write a list of every single thing you're good at, anything from clipping the dog’s toenails to putting up a shelf. Take the time to sit and actually think about what you ARE good at and add them all to the list. You'll be surprised at how many things you end up jotting down, no matter how minor or trivial they may seem at the time.

Whenever you have a spare 5 minutes, or if you're feeling a little low, take the list out of your pocket and read it. This is a great little way to give yourself a nice confidence boost.

24: Help out:
There are lots of ways to help others, and feeling useful and helpful are great ways of building your confidence. Just make sure you do things because you WANT to do them. You could call a good friend who may be down at the moment-even take them out for coffee, you will brighten both your days, or you could possibly help out at an old folks home or similar. Knowing that people appreciate your help will boost your confidence for sure.

25: Show the way:
Think of the one thing you do best of all. Think long and hard about this one. Thought of something? Now, find a discussion group or similar related to that topic and spread your wisdom by answering questions, offering advice or help to anybody needing it. If you can’t find a group, you could even start one yourself.

People will look up to you and that will give you all the more reason to feel confident about yourself.

Secrets Of Internet Millionaires By Stuart Tan

2007-07-25T20:32:00.000+08:00

I wanted to post this review on this book a few months back. My friend and mentor from Singapore, Stuart Tan published a new book on Internet Marketing.

This book is the perfect step by step manual which covers almost everything someone needs to start an Internet business. Its just right for people who don’t know anything about Internet Marketing to discover what it really involves.

Its written in a simple conversational style and easy to read. Stuart lays out a simple blueprint while making sure he defines all the important parts in internet marketing.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to venture into internet marketing. Its available in MPH for about RM50 I believe.

Oh by the way, Stuart mention me in this book. He acknowledge me (jag Senghera) and another Malaysia marketer (Gobala Krishnan) on our contribution in the Asia and Malaysian internet marketing community. This is the first time ever anybody acknowledge me publically…I’d say I did feel good about it but soon I got back to reality and didn’t really make a big deal about it. I mean, its flattering to be acknowledge for one’s contribution but I really would love to be more successful at my ventures.

Go get the book and really start learning how you too can make money from the internet today.

Next Few Months On This Blog

2007-07-24T21:26:00.001+08:00

I know I've not been blogging much this year, I've been getting ready for a major change thats going to happen to me next coming year. So for this few months before my birthday on the 13th of december I will just post some videos and pictures on this blog. I dont see much of written post for this blog in the future.

Currently I've been posting a series of videos on Sant Niranjan Singh. There are in total 16 videos on him giving a katha in Titiwangsa Gurdwara. I would say he was the one who actually infused the Sikhi sense (or spiritual hunger) in my family. I remember he came once to our home in Titiwangsa, some how even though there were challenges but everything turned out to be really fine with my family and me. I guess it really makes a difference being close to a bless soul, something do rub off. So I am featuring these videos as a tribute to him. Without him, I dont think me and my family will be so much into religion or spiritual in any sense.

Sometimes you will find some other videos here, I will try to do some of my own. I will be launching my professional blog www.JagSengheraLive.com soon, that blog will be about my work and business (on Online Marketing) and I will be launching www.SikhiBlogger.com, remember the project I talked about on creating a free blogging platform for Sikh bloggers? Well everything seems to be ready with this project, its only waiting for me to make a commitment on doing something for sewa instead of making money from it. Hopefully everything will go live in September this year.

From the earlier post you know I've been working on SNSM.org.my lately, this project is almost complete together with my www.GuruDuitMalaysia.com subscription website. On the 1st of August 2007 both website will be live on the net.

Dr. Joe Vitale - Introduction to The Missing Secret

2007-07-24T20:59:00.001+08:00

Dr. Joe Vitale was one of the expert in the movie "The Secret". Recently he published a book titled "Zero Limits" which shows you how to "get clear". Get Clear - means clearing all the blocking energies that is preventing you to get to the ZERO STATE (or in Sikhi we would say removing all ego) I would urge you to get his latest book, you wont regret it.

I love you.

We hope that this latest upgrade of SNSM will last for the next couple of years till another major update will be perform. We hope our users will love the new additions and modifications on snsm online.

Guilty of Not Updating My Blog

2007-05-25T18:09:00.001+08:00

I am Guilty!

Yes I am, I've neglected this blog because suddenly I've become more busy they I ever was. I've been running against time to launch 2 online products in May but I only manage to launch one. The second e-book that I was suppose to launch was an e-book I wrote on how Malaysian can make US $100 daily from the internet without involving themselves in MLM's, pyramid schemes and any of those other scheme's online.

The e-book is titled "Guru Duit Malaysia" the url is http://www.guruduitmalaysia.com if you go to that site right now, there is nothing there yet because I have not launch the e-book yet. I am looking to launch on the 15th of Jun 2007. Wish me luck.

Largest Blog Comment Chain World Record Attempt

2007-04-10T17:16:00.000+08:00

Check out this Blog, this guy is going to make a new world record by having the largest blog comment ever. He is looking to make about 2000 comments on his post

http://blog.payperpost.com/2007/04/largest-blog-comment-chain-world-record.html

This is the first attempt to set a record for the worlds longest blog comment chain for the Guinness Book of World Records. There is no prior record of anything like this that I was able to find. The first people I heard from didn't even know what a blog is so it could be challenging to get this accepted. The most comments I have ever seen on a single blog post is about 350, I am shooting for 2,000 "unique human generated comments of 25 words or more each generated within 1 week of the original post." for this first attempt. The author (that's me) cannot contribute more than 10 percent of total posts. Have you ever gone for a world record or thought about going for a world record? If so what was it and were you able to make it official?

$100/Day Part 2

2007-04-05T23:46:00.000+08:00

Here is an update. The challenge was to make $100 a day from the internet with a start up of $0.

Here is what I realize while doing this challenge, first it takes lots of hard work to do the techniques I about to share with you. If you dont like writing then you cant use this technique. It requires you to write a lot.

Next I realize it wont be easy to withdraw the money you have made from the internet. I will be showing you a way that will make money in your paypal account. Paypal is like a virtual bank account. Its pretty good and people have been using it in ebay successfully. The only drawback with paypal is we Malaysian are not allowed to withdraw out from our paypal account. This is thanks to Malaysia still having the highest Credit Card fraud cases in the world.

As for now you dont have to worry about this little setback because I have a work around for it. I'll share it in one of the latter post.

The method I will be describing to you will require you to sign up to a online company that pays you for your articles or content you submit to them. They will usually pay around $3 - $20 per article. The interesting part of this company is they not only except your articles, they will except videos, photos and audio recording to mention a few. One issue with this company is they only pay content producers with a valid USA address.

The work around for this will be when you are signing up for the service you will have to put in a USA address in your profile. Dont worry this is not wrong, everybody from UK and around the world is doing the same thing, remember to sign up with a USA address.

The company name is Associated content. I've listed all the steps in a Squidoo lens at

http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-make-100-a-day/

because you can then tell your friends about this strategy and direct them to this lens. It looks more professional too.

I've so far written 7 articles and posted to associated content, they will take 7 days to review the articles and pay me. The idea here is even if you dont submit 3 - 4 articles daily and only submitting 1 article daily will still make you money. Let say you get paid the minimum of $3 for each article and you submitted 20 articles per month (taking saturday and sunday off) you will stand to make USD$90/mth. This is around RM350/mth. Its not a lot but you still got some extra cash in your pocket.

In the next post I will discuss on how to register with associated content and get paid higher for your articles. After I've done that I will write a post on paypal and how you can register and withdraw from paypal.

For now you can take a look at the complete steps for making $100 a day at

What Lies Behind The Secret Movie

2007-04-05T16:34:00.000+08:00

Most of you have watched the Secret Movie. The movie is about the law of attraction and about how to get stuff by just having happy thoughts about it. When I first watched it I thought to my self it sounds like positive thinking to me, nothing new here.The Law of Attraction itself is real.

Why is it real because I have experienced it in my life and it works but the arguments and explanations put forward in The Secret are alternately unscientific, mystical, nonsensical or just plain wrong.

If you look at it again its just the old adage of “Think of Stuff – get stuff” Nothing in the movie “the secret” is new. The real secret of this movie is how the producers used clever re-marketing of Nothing New wrapped in a chocolatey-warm fuzzy shell. So you will be extremely happy when you buy it.

Everybody got excited about the movie. Heck even I did when it was launch early last year. The question I have for you is this. For those who have seen the movie should now know what the secret is and since you know what the secret is, why don’t you have a Ferrari parked in your garage right now?

I have been reading self-help books ever since I was 15 years old. Every self help book I’ve read until today has claimed to make me rich or successful if I bought and read their books. I don’t think I am rich or either successful because of these books. I am getting there but neither these books, seminars nor ‘the secret’ movie helped. These kinds of books, movies or seminars are just hype. And The Secret is just all hype too.

So what is the real secret of the secret movie? Its about working your ass off getting what you want. If you just do what is preached in the movie you will be a dreamer and nothing more then a dreamer. Go build a hundreds vision boards and look at them daily for a year and you still wont be anywhere else if you don’t back it up with action on your part.

In everything we do in this world requires effort. Period!

You want to loose weight then go an exercise and eat right. No positive thinking will make you thin. You want to get good grades then go study smart and hard. No positive thinking will get you all A’s. You want to be rich then go work 16 hours a day in your own business, invest, save until you get rich.

Thinking it won’t make it! Working it will.

Visualization, meditation and positive thinking will help you stay the course but it will never bring you what you want. Opportunities my friend are not given they are taken!

The real secret of the secret is the concept that everything in this world is energy which is vibrating at different frequency. Keep this in mind because every thing you do has a frequency and energy. Both your thoughts and actions have energy. Having a certain energy radiating from your thoughts and having completely opposite energy radiating from your action is incongruent. The Universe (like its said in the secret movie) will only give you something if the whole you is congruently at one frequency.

There is a this line in gurbani which says “Meditating while not meditating”, “Ajapa jappe” which means that the whole you is about meditating on God that while when you are not meditating your being is still in vibrationally meditating on God. Does this make sense to you?

All of this mean your thoughts and your actions must match. And my friend this is the only real secret of the secret movie.

That’s why I make money while I sleep because I work 16 hours a day making sure I get paid every day in US dollars while I sleep. Its not because I found a way to make money without doing work, You don’t get anything in life for free! Period!

So if you want something and desire it so much then not only think about it, visualize on it and meditate on it. Act on it too. Do what it takes to get it. Focus your entire being on it. Napoleon Hill said in his book, you need to be obsessed with success to gain success. Make it your obsession so your entire being is shouting to the universe I want my desire and I guarantee you will get it.

Internet Marketing Seminar at Sabha House

2007-04-05T14:58:00.000+08:00

I have been thinking of this for a while. I just dont seem to find the time to organise something like this. But I am wondering, If I do something like this in sabha house, would there be people who are interested in it? Off course its going to be free.

I can show you how to make USD$20 - USD100 in a day from the internet. But I am having second toughts about this because someone told me that no body there in sabha or any of the sikh youth will ever consider this something worthwhile. They dont even believe you can make money from the internet on the first place. Maybe my friend who told me this might be right.

I am still thinking about it. Maybe I'll convince the Jathedar to give some talk time in the next fellowship camp in lookout point in ampang end of this April.

Do you think I should do this?

The USD$100 a Day Challenge

2007-04-02T11:49:00.000+08:00

A couple of days back I met up with old friends in Cheras for the Vaisakhi pro gramme organised by Sikh Naujawan Sabha Malaysia. One of the best part of this event is me catching up with old friends who have become too busy to meet up socially.

I met this one friend of mine who I've not met for ages. We talked and started to catch up with old times. The conversation led to "what you are doing these days" and I told him, I have my own internet publishing business and I am making in USD every month.

He didnt believe me. I think it just the Asian mentality but he thought it was like those MLM businesses out there where everyone works really hard and no one gets rich. I tried convincing him this was different and someone could really make money from the Internet the legal way.

I told him I will show him how it is done step by step. He took what I said and turn around and gave me a challenge which I accepted.

The challenge is,

To make USD$100 per day within a period of 60 days marketing on the internet with a startup capitol of USD$0

While I started my internet marketing venture with at least USD1000 of capitol to get an edge however its possible to start with nothing and make money from the internet it just requires more work.

Since I will be doing this and recording all the details on this blog, I recommend you to join me in this challenge. I am calling this series of post "BUM MARKETING' after the famous online marketing technique that shook the internet marketing world last year. I will describe everything step-by-step so that you too can take this opportunity to make some money.

The challenge started yesterday on the 1st of April 2007 and ends at Jun 2007.

Tomorrow I'll post my one of the first steps how someone without out money can start making USD100 per day within 60Days.

Stay tune for that.

Heroes: Save the Cheerleader, Save the World

2007-03-27T20:54:00.000+08:00

The new tv series "Heroes" is just awesome. I was in India when it stated showing in Malaysia. However I did not miss anything because India is 1 episode faster then Malaysia.

The initial slogan was "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World", The slogan is catchy and honestly irritating at times.

The thing that makes Heroes so interesting to watch, is the fact that the characters are so likeable and that each one is so unique.

This show is about a few people around the world who realize that they have some supernatural powers. Some of them have been living with their powers for awhile, and choose to hide them, and some of them are just realizing it for the first time.

In each episode they get closer together, finding each other and realizing that there is a bigger force that is pulling them together. At first to "Save the Cheerleader" and now to "Save the World".

Heroes brings together both the qualities of childhood fantasies.

Who hasn't ever thought about flying?

Who hasn't wished they could be invisible?

Who hasn't pictured them a Hero, wanting to save the world?

I think that Heroes will continue to do well and will soar in ratings. Wednesday have become my "Heroes Night" and I hope your too.

Digital Camera - Canon EOS400D/ EOS Rebel Xti Review

2007-03-27T16:34:00.000+08:00

This is a best digital camera for a newbie photography hobbyist like me. The design of this digital camera is compact and not so bulky like the other more professional canon eos series. Its much lighter, however comes with a small grip.

Here are some of the features of this digital camera;

10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor with improved microlens array, fill factor and lower noise
EOS Integrated Cleaning System

Nine point Auto Focus sensor (same as EOS 30D) with F2.8 support

Continuous shooting burst up to 27 JPEG and 10 RAW images

Single large, bright, 2.5" LCD monitor with 160° viewing angles (horizontal and vertical)

Camera settings and adjustment on LCD monitor

Proximity sensor below viewfinder eyepiece to disable the LCD during composition

New viewfinder view includes 9 AF points as well as EOS 30D style status bar

Picture Styles, larger range of image parameter adjustment (same as EOS 30D)

Improved user interface

Image magnification available in record review

Histogram available as brightness (Luminance) or RGB (Red, Green, Blue)

Three settings for long exposure noise reduction (adds Auto option)

Auto rotation with three options (not recorded, record don't rotate, record and rotate)

Additional custom functions (magnified view in record review, LCD display at power on)

Up to 9999 images per folder on storage card

Automatic storage of setting adjustments (no longer requires a press of the SET button)

Improved print / share / direct print features

And its cheap.

I know some of the stuff in the feature list you have never heard before but trust me when I say this is one cool digital camera. I am making plans to get it however going through the process of decided the glasses (lenses), extra batteries, and all the other stuff is irritating. Its going to cost me around RM8,000 - RM10,000 to get the complete set.

I wonder why I need to spend that much on a camera. On the other hand I think its time for me to take this photography stuff more seriously. I am waiting because I am hoping for the prices to come down a little.

How To Find Idiots

2007-03-27T08:27:00.000+08:00

I was doing some research on a white paper I am writing. So one of the keyword I was searching for was "united states idiots" and to my suprise the first result in google for that keyword is President of the United States - George W. Bush.

Try it out for yourself. Go to google and type "united states idiots" and see what the results you get. I even tried "united states idiot" and got the George W.Bush on the 3rd listing.

I have nothing against the United State of America but I found this really funny, an American site like Google will rank their President No1 for "United States idiots".

What The Movie 300 Can Teach You About Business Management

2007-03-26T00:28:00.000+08:00

This article can be found at http://entrepreneur.com/management/article176006.html

This is a reprint...

When the movie 300 recently debuted, making more than $70 million during its opening weekend despite having no big-name actors, Hollywood was stunned. Many people have speculated that what attracted the audience was the over-the-top violence, the naked women and the special effects.

Maybe that helped--a little. But director Zack Snyder's film about Spartans bludgeoning Persian soldiers in a fight to the finish is also a business parable.

No, seriously. If you squint a little--and you probably will during some of the beheading scenes--the story resembles what an entrepreneur often faces when competing against a big corporation. It also offers some insight into what it takes to be an effective leader, inspire employees and create a recognizable brand. And, yes, this film can be ugly, but that's sometimes the nature of the business world.

Business Lesson No. 1: Your CEO needs to be a strong leader.

King Leonidas is as resilient as they come, in both the film and the actual historical battle that took place in 480 B.C. between 300 soldiers of Sparta, Greece and the Persian army. Although Leonidas is a warrior, he treats his family and friends as equals. His wife, the queen, is a partner, and he's smart enough to solicit her advice when it comes to business matters. He also spends quality time with his six-year-old son, teaching him the business (i.e., showing the little bugger how to fight).

But when Leonidas suits up and goes to his day job--vanquishing bloodthirsty enemies with his spear and shield--he's focused on what's best for the business and his employees; in this case, the kingdom and his soldiers

Sure, his competitor, King Xerxes, through messengers he sends to Sparta, makes some powerful arguments for combining the smaller organization with the larger corporation known as Persia. For instance, if the merger goes through, Leonidas would be allowed to live, and his employees wouldn't have to see their families enslaved or worry about getting their limbs hacked off. But while Leonidas appears to mull the offer over, he's concerned that his people's way of life (think office culture) and his freedom to make independent decisions won't be allowed to thrive.

He firmly declines the deal by spearing and then throwing a bunch of Persian yes-men into what appears to be a bottomless pit.

Leonidas next prepares to stop the growing threat of a hostile takeover. He seeks approval from some grotesque oracles (his board of directors) to take 10,000 Spartan soldiers to fight off the Persian army, but he is rebuffed. And so, like all good entrepreneurs, Leonidas finds a loophole. He informs fellow Spartan colleagues that he's taking a walk, bringing 300 of his top-flight employees as body guards, and goes off to complete his business plan--to fight the Persians at the narrow cliffs of Thermopylae and frighten the immense army into fleeing.

Business Lesson No. 2: Train your employees and foster a culture that promotes loyalty.

The Spartans had a grim but effective process for making sure their society only contained healthy children. (If you don't already know what that process was, you probably don't want to). To put it mildly, their organization only accepted the best and brightest employees, who were trained and molded into effective killing machines. It sounds gruesome, but it's handy when your business involves protecting your community from a foe that aims to crush you.

Arguably, loyalty may be the most important aspect of a successful team. At one point in the battle, Leonidas and Xerxes meet up. The Persian ruler tries to reason with his foe, asking how Leonidas can possibly defeat him when "I would kill any of my men for victory."

"I would die for any of mine," replies Leonidas, suggesting that an employee who knows he's valued is going to fight harder for the company's survival than a miserable grunt in the firm. The king has a point. His 300 men are effective at killing what must be thousands of soldiers in the first few hours of the battle. And it's not that surprising. Xerxes literally walks all over his employees; but in Leonidas' enterprise, his staff takes ownership and pride in the company and has a stake in the firm.

Business Lesson No. 3:You need to have a strong brand.

Leonidas is no fool. He knows that his 300 men and several hundred more Athenian soldiers who tag along can't completely destroy the Persian army, which outnumbers the Spartan force at least 1,000 to one. But he figures that if the Spartans live up to their reputation by ruthlessly and efficiently killing the Persians, the enemy might flee. In other words, Leonidas saw the Spartans as a brand.

Leonidas is an early marketer, fully understanding the power of words and images. When Leonidas and his men literally build a wall of corpses they know their enemy will see, it's an advertising message to the rest of the Persian soldiers that come their way: The Spartans are a company of men you don't want to encounter. They clearly hope the message will spread by word of mouth.

Later, the Spartan CEO tells his competitor, Xerxes, "The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, that even a god-king can bleed." And because Leonidas recognizes how important it is for the general public to understand the Spartans' unique brand of power and will, he sends a messenger back to Sparta to tell the tale of their fight. Leonidas appreciates that even if he and his 300 men don't win this particular battle, educating the public about the company will help the Spartan brand endure long after he is gone.

The brand, in fact, has endured so well that almost 2,500 years later Hollywood made a movie about this battle. If you haven't seen 300 yet, be sure to study these lessons and then go see them put to use in the movie. Do that and you may suck all the joy out of watching a blockbuster action movie--but you'll wind up with one heck of a business.

A Helping Hand or Not?

2007-03-25T17:08:00.000+08:00

For many of us, life seems full of problems. Sometimes, we may think that we are the only one to have this problem. At other times, we know that many feel the same.

Yet we may not know how to get help. We may find it difficult to talk to others about our problems. In some cultures(I mean most Malaysian), it is very difficult to admit our problems to other people!

You can tell if a friend is going through a tough time if he or she

• Avoids friends and activities.

• Talks about wanting to die.

• Can’t sleep.
• Is moody, teary or quiet.

• Starts neglecting his or her appearance.
• Appears to have no energy or no appetite.

• Expresses feelings of despair, hopelessness and helplessness.

• Tries to cut or hurt himself/ herself.
• Starts giving away personal possessions.

• Makes statements like ‘It’s my fault’ or ‘I won’t be around to face…’

What can you do to help

You can do a surprising amount with very little effort. Listening saves lives. Be there with them and be prepared to listen.

• Approach your friend and let him/ her know you have noticed.

• Ask about his/ her well-being.

• Listen to his/ her problems and feelings.

• Be accepting, do not judge.
• Be patient and gentle.• Show that you care.

• Ask openly and directly if he/ she is thinking of harming himself/ herself.

• Take threats seriously.
• Get help.

• Call BEFRIENDERS.

What you should not do

• Don’t offer empty words or reassurance.

• Don’t give up on your friends – maintain contact with the person at risk.

• Never assume that talk of suicide is simply a manipulation for attention.

• Don’t think that having previously failed an attempted suicide will prevent someone from another attempt.
• Don’t minimize your friend’s pain.

Being close to someone who is in distress can be very hard. We are also here to support you and listen to your concerns and fears.

Never give advice to someone if you are not ready to do so. It took me 11/2 years of learning to become a Life Coach and in that process I have become more uncomfortable to give out advice then I used too. I know realize that giving advice when a person is having real problems can be really life changing for that person. You either make his problems better or make it even worst. And most likely or not you will make it worst.

Here is a simple step to see if you are ready to give advices.
• Lisa is 14 and pregnant. Should she agree to have an abortion?

• Eric is 26 and HIV-positive. Should he tell his family?

• Lily is 43. Her husband has a girl friend in China. Should she leave him?

• Albert is 68, and in constant pain from cancer.

Would it be right for him to take an overdose?If you answered ‘YES’ to these questions, then never give any advice to anyone you probably do more harm then good. If you answered ‘NO’…. then you are still better off not giving advice to anyone.

But if you weren't sure, if you can listen to people tell their stories without making judgments then most likely can give out advices but be careful. We don’t want to do harm to anyone.

I would like to introduce you to Blog-4-Help. Where if one has real problems and need personal help, they can email her for more advice.

Blowing ones own Trumpet!

2007-03-23T18:51:00.000+08:00

This post is a response or rather a reaction towards this person who attack Jagjit on his blog. This is my HATE BLOG POST of the month. You can view the whole conversation here.

There is this guys/gal who is not brave enough to reveal his true identity but have the balls to attack people and excuse them or "blowing their own horns" on their blog!....Blog!.... Man get a life, the blogging world is full of people who "blow their own horns"...this is reality. Deal with it mate.

Before we proceed, lets define what "Blowing Ones Own Trumpet!" means.

Act in a boastful, self-promoting manner.

Origin
The term in its present form is 19th century. Anthony Trollope, in his work Australia and new Zealand, 1873 observed:
"In the colonies..when a gentleman sounds his own trumpet he 'blows.'"

Every blogger I know off writes about his/her self. They write about their life and according to the above definition all bloggers in the world "Blow their own Horns"

People should realise something its my blog! and Jagjits's blog is Jagjit's blog! what we write and talk about on our blogs is totally our fancy. If you are not interested in reading then go f**k off. Please don't bother commenting because you are wasting your time. We don't need people like you reading our blogs.

If you have never read the International Bloggers Manifesto before here is it,

Life is uncensored.
My blog does not capture the full me.
Judge my thoughts, but not me.
If you don't like what you see, look elsewhere.
I love talking about my life.
I love writing about other people's lives.
I will post whenever I feel like posting.
I don't have to blog every meme.
You don't have to agree with everything I say.
I egosurf Daypop, Google, and Blogdex nightly.
I share what I want to share.
Pictures of myself are not obligatory.
I visit every site in my blogroller regularly.
I won't post for the sake of posting.
I have a life outside of blogging.
I have registered my blogging tool(s).
I may criticize other bloggers, not harass them.
I have the right to revise a post.
When blogging becomes a chore, I'll quit doing it.
I've given something back to the blogging community.
If I want to complain about something, I will.
If I want to praise something, I will.
I am not the best blogger on the planet, but I'm the best blogger on my blog
I don't have to explain myself to you.

So If we "Blow Our Own Horns" and you don't like it, then go piss off. Because we will do what we want on our blogs.

2007-03-22T10:38:00.000+08:00

Since I've been changing my personal style and look, I figure I better change the look and style of this blog too. Its more clean and simple with this template. I've been thinking of getting a professional custom made template built specifically for this blog but decided not to because I rather just have the ability to change my template whenever I feel like doing so.

My business blogging solution site is BlogsMy where I provide intensive education to people who are interested in making money online. Not only I'll provide the educational material, we will also give the potential customer tools to start making money immediately. One of these tools is the multi user wordpress blogs.

My programmer is currently still scripting the codes for this system. It will take him till the end of May to complete the software. When done I will have the complete rights to it. So I can duplicate it on and site with any theme.

SikhBlogger.com will be a free service. However I was thinking, to set up this kind of site will require some serious hosting and maintenance. The cost of those two things will be bomb. So I've decided while SikhBlogger.com free, each blog will have an adsense code where I will generate some income to cover up all this cost or another possible way is to use adsense profit sharing system.

It works like this. Each site will have an adsense plugin. Where the user will add in their Adsense publisher Id. The host (that me) will also put in my adsense publisher id into this plugin. Then when the user write post to generate traffic and if his traffic click on the adsense ads. We both get paid on a 50-50 basis.

Thats fair isnt it? I provide the space and platform. The user provides the content and we both benefit from it.

I have not finalize the revenue model yet, cause its still early. I have set a date to complete this project.

Its on 31st Nov 2007. The first blog will go live on this date. I am hoping this will create some shock waves in the sikh community.

An example of the type of blogs you can expect can be seen here. Try and sign up. Mess around a bit and see if you like what the features are. This sample site doesnt gives much. Because mine is being programmed by a independent person, I can add loads more features to the system.

I just recently hired a programmer to write a software which will enable a service provider to provide free wordpress blogs to its users. I am currently building a Bussiness blogging solution website. Its suppose to be launch in July.

Anyways If you dont know what is wordpress well it is like a way advance version of blogger.com You can do so much of things with wordpress blogs compared to a blogger blog. My New Art of Speaking blog is using wordpress platform.

I was thinking since in SikhiWiki listed over 200 plus bloggers and many more are not listed yet. Which means there is a huge group of sikh based blogs isn't it? Using this software I can create a service something like blogger for the sikh bloggers out there. How cool is that?

I'll call it Sikh Blogger

Ha ha interesting concept isnt it. So what is Sikh Blogger? Its a service that provides you with free wordpress blogs. And I will also help you to transfer your blog from blogger to sikh blogger. All of this will absolutely free! You will also get cool custom made themes that reflect your sikhi pride and really awesome plugins that make your blog do alsmost magically stuff.

So just imagine your blog having the URL or address of

jagdeepsingh.sikhblogger.com

jagjit.sikhblogger.com

ajit.sikhblogger.com

cool.sikhblogger.com

Iam.sikhblogger.com

Khalsa.sikhblogger.com

and so on ....

If everything works fine with my paid site, which a programmer is helping me develop soon maybe end of this year you can enjoy blogging at Sikh Blogger. Tell me what you think of this idea and should I do it?

2007-03-18T14:35:00.000+08:00

Do you dare to go bare? I do. I was planning to change my personal style, its already due for a review. I review my personal style every 7 years. This time I think Im going to go bare and shave my head bald. Some say bald is sexy, I know some women think that but I am not doing it to be sexy. I am doing it because I need a fresh look and I have not tried going bare.

Off course I’m not denying the sex appeal of a bald men. For many women, nothing is more appealing than a guy who is confident enough to bare a shaven head

I am going to try this for a couple of weeks. If it doesn’t fit me, I’ll let my hair grow back. So don’t be shock to see Jag all shaven now. Time to be sexy and find a chick… ha ha. I will put up a photograph of my head after I have shaven it. I'll have the before and after photo. I am so excited about this. I cant wait to do it, another 2 hours more and I'll be Naked on top...ha ha

How well do your site rank on the search engine?

2007-03-18T02:30:00.000+08:00

I was doing some testing on my other sites to see how well they rank compared to other web sites. Later I decided to check and see how well this site fares in the search engine as I have not done any "Search Engine Optimization" or SEO on it. I know this sounds like me blowing my own trumpet but hey its my blog and I can do anything on it even it means blowing the trumpet once a while. Anyways let see the results.

For the keyword: "Make Money Jagdeep Singh" I rank no 1 from 12,900 sites.

(click to enlarge)

For the keyword: "Jagdeep Singh Malaysia" I rank no 15 from 621 sites.

(click to enlarge)

For the keyword: "Jagdeep Singh Senghera" I rank no 2 from 25 sites.

(click to enlarge)

For the keyword: "Jagdeep Singh" I rank no 34 from 103,000 sites.

(click to enlarge)

I did check a fellow malaysian sikh blogger Jagjit's blog to see if he rank well too. And he did. The secret why both of us get high rankings is because be post on a consistent basis. So if you have a personal blog, please blog often enough. People hate seeing a blog that hasnt been updated more then a month.

Making Money Through Titan Pay Affiliate Program

2007-03-18T00:41:00.000+08:00

What is Titan Pay?
What is a company that sells a few products online for profesional webmasters and bloggers. I just recently joined thier affiliate programe. Which means if I refer a person to their site and that person buys from the site then I will get a fraction of the profit.

The products this company sells is;

The Content Club membership - I get USD$80 payout whenever someone sign up for this.

The Blog Solution - I get USD$83 commision payout for each sale.

The Content Solution - I get USD$59 commision for each sale.

Here is the best thing, as you know I am currently in the process of completing my blogging ebook titled "The Blog Traffic Professional" This ebook is targeted to professional blogger and internet marketers. The book will sell for only USD$17, this is damn cheap for Americans. Its almost the price of a single McD's meal in USA.

The idea here is to sell the ebook cheap and promote the other product in the ebook. So I make more from the backend of the book. Just imagine if I sell 100 ebooks (Of by the way I make a profit of USD$10 from each frontend sale of this ebook) and 20 people chooses to sign up for the membership site. I will then get USD$1600 for the membership site plus USD$1000 from the ebooks. That an awesome USD$ 2600 of profit.

The math is very seductive and attractive. Making this figure a reality will take some effort. The membership site cost USD$97 per month and not everybody can afford it. Thats why I have targeted my ebook "The Blog Traffic Professional" to the professional bloggers who are currently making money from their blogs.

Another strategy I recently discovered is to create short ebooks and distribute it in torrent sites and free distribution sites. In each ebook there are links to these affiliate products. This way however converts slow. Which means for every 100 people who download the ebooks only 1 will sign up for the membership site. This is ok for me because I dont fork out any cost in creating the ebooks and distributing them is even more easy.

I have my fingers cross on this one. Lets see what kind of results I can get from this strategy

God’s Master Plan for Life Is Overrated!

2007-03-17T15:40:00.000+08:00

The above graphic was drawn by a New York Artist names Hugh. Look at it and you know it makes sense. Let me summarize it for you. Click it to enlarge it.

Born
Start schooling and hating it
Start employment and hating it
Get married and start despising it.
Get children and spend all your money on him/her.
Then another kid arrives and you are getting broke.
Wife gets bored with married life and you start having issues in your marriage.
You change your job and still hates it.
Most probably fight with your wife all your life or you get divorce (Fight/Flight Syndrome).
Middle age kicks in and you go trade in your wife with a better model. (either you have an affair or marry a new wife)
You hit old age and nothing can be certain
Death

Wow, interesting isn’t it? I am not saying that everyone will follow this model but something similar. You get born, study the first part of your life, work the rest part of your life then support your family at the middle of your life and at the end of your life you start to worry what will happen to you and the next thing you know its time to leave planet earth.

You can choose this life but I am not! Enough of conforming and following the herd for me. I am choosing to be a non-conformist. I will get married at my own time. I’ll have children when I want them not when its time to have them. I will live my life first before I live other people’s life.

There is nothing much I can say about this. I have chosen.

Want to Make Money Online But Don’t Know Internet Marketing?

2007-03-16T17:49:00.000+08:00

I know a lot of you are interested in knowing how to make money from the internet. Let me make this clear here, its not easy money. You really have to work to get the income. I know most of you don’t know internet marketing and have very little knowledge in the technical part of this business. Don’t worry I have here few tips on how to make money online even if you don’t know internet marketing.

Freelance Writing

If you can write articles and books. If you are good in your English then I suggest you look into www.elance.com This site is for freelance writers. If there is an internet marketer looking for some content on his site he will go to this site and hire a freelancer to write for him. The articles is about 500 - 800 words and will usually fetch $5 - $8 each. The internet marketers will ask a freelancer to write 10 – 20 articles at one time. That’s already around $80(RM300 something). To make a real income you need to secure around 10 – 15 article writing jobs on elance.

Another way is to write ebooks. I got my first ebook written on elance.com and I paid the lady who wrote the book $600 for it. Its was only 60 pages long and took her a week to write it. Just imagine securing 3 or 4 of these kinds of projects. You’ll get around $2400 (RM8000 something) in a month. So if you are a good writer, look into this option.

Creating Videos.

This is a fun option. Places like youtube and other video sharing sites are beginning to share their revenues with video uploaders. If you upload an interesting video and get many people viewing the video then you get paid a fraction of the revenue generated from the video.

The fun part comes in because you can do the really silly videos and make money with it. Try this out it looks really promising.

Selling Photographs online

Here is the secret of photographers. You can sell your photographs online. If you have a fair amount of photography skills then head down to www.istockphoto.com and upload your photos there. I am not sure about how the revenue is shared but it is a worth while option to look into.

Remember that your photos don’t need to be really good. However you need to upload good quality photos. These photos are used for various reasons and being aware of your target market will be beneficial. Go for the web designers since they need photo’s for the sites they are working on.

Don’t ever send your family photo’s and hope to make money from it. Trust me no body wants to buy your family photos.

I’ve listed a few options here but there are so much more you can do online and you don’t even need to know all these internet marketing stuff. Just spend some time looking at some opportunities over the net and you will be surprise how there is online.

Where Is All The Videos From India?

2007-03-16T17:44:00.000+08:00

Between me and my brother, hardy we have taken around 5 hours of worth of videos in India. I took video from the digital camera, which save the short clips in MOV files. I don’t know how to edit this video format. I tried it with “Microsoft Movie Maker” and it didn’t accept the MOV files. The only software that can edit these files is “iMovie” from Apple. However that software can’t be used with Windows yet. So I wont be uploading these short clips up.

The video’s Hardy took with a Sony Digital Video Camera, which burn directly into DVD format on a 30min DVD disk. We were able to transfer the files into our laptops. All of these files are in DVD format, which I have no experience in. We are trying to combine all of them into one DVD. I however can convert these DVD files into MPG and edit them with “Microsoft Movie Maker”. So maybe in the next coming weeks I will edit one or two and upload them to youtube.

I thinking of uploading videos on the gurdwaras we went and one of we having fun in India. Stay tune for these videos.

Sketching Potraits at my free time

2007-03-15T13:14:00.000+08:00

I've just recently taken up a new hobby. Its sketching portraits. I was really impress with a street artist that was sketching the a girl's face in Sunway Lagoon. I never really explore arts in my life before. When I was young, I was pushed more towards studying and get good grades. I remember the only thing I painted was of an abstract geometric art that the art teacher gave as a homework. She said I was good with colors. I used to love playing with colors those times.

But after the once instant of artistry on my part, I dont remember having actively involved with art at all. Only recently I took up digital imaging with photoshop and open up the more creative side of me.

I saw this guy sketch the girl face in about 15minutes. He was only using a pencil and the result was amazing. I was really impressed. I was thinking about this guy and how he does this stuff and about pencil sketching in general for the past few days. Its said if you have something on your mind thats bothering you, then meditate on it and you will find an answer. So I did and the answer I got was "Why Not Do It and See How Good You Are At It"

Yesterday night, I spend more then 1 hour sketching my eye out on paper. The result for a first time attempt that most people think that only gifted people can do is really encouraging. I just cant get over the fact that its soo life like. I took me 1 hour just sketching a small part of the face. I didnt even do both of the eyes, I just did one. However this first sketch is really encourage me to accept sketching as something in my life. I will keep on doing it till I master this art.

The below is the sketch I did. I didnt know what setting to put my scanner to, so I got this result. It doesnt really shoe the shading that well. The original one is way better. Let me know how is it. Did you like it?

I shut my eyes in order to see. - Paul Gauguin

My Ideas on Being Romantic and really mushy with your gf

2007-03-13T20:13:00.000+08:00

These ideas here are taken straight from my experience with have some of my ex-gf. I know most chick think I am bit shy and reserve. I choose the people I talk to and become close to. I am guilty on this. I can’t deny who I am. When I become comfortable with someone and really open up to them, they wont even recognize me. Most of my gf’s find me a different person after they get to know me rather then when I was courting them (hopefully a more attractive person). Maybe because I never really allow other people to get close and be intimate with myself. And when I do allow someone to get close, they often get shocked because I tend to break their set perceptions about me.

Anyways back to the romantic ideas here. Since I was in India on Valentine day and missed it here in Malaysia. I decided to redeem my self with a post-valentine day article. Hey its valentine everyday for me mate…all I need is someone to celebrate valentine’s with.

Idea 1

If your Gf is staying away from you, somewhere like JB for instant and you are here in KL or if your GF is going away traveling or something for a while. You tell her you are really worried about her and you must really express this. Tell her that you have to arrange a bodyguard for her. Play around with her and crack a few jokes on getting a bodyguard for her. And when she least expect it you take out a small teddy bear and give it to her. Tell her that it will be her bodyguard. Make this moment something sweet. Trust me if you do this, she will love you even more.

Idea 2

I’ve used this before successfully. Girls just love to be surprised by their bf’s. The best way to surprised her is to leave her small romantic notes that she will find when least expected. You can leave notes in her mobile phone or capture a short video of you saying something romantic on her mobile. Sooner or later she will find this video and love you for it. Another way is to write romantic notes in the book she is reading. Choose to write these notes at a page she have not read. The best is at the middle of the book because people rarely read to the end. Leave romantic notes in her purse. Leave romantic notes on her organizer or diary. Anywhere she least expect it to be. Don’t over do this, you risk appearing a desperado. Do it sparingly. Its really effective, don’t believe me and try it for yourself. See how she much more excited she gets when she finds one of these notes.

Idea 3

This one is a bit dangerous. You know most guys when they want to get romantic they will send their gf’s roses or flowers at her workplace isn’t it? Well this is too common. It works but doesn’t really give one the impact he is looking for. I came up with this wild idea when one of my female workmate got flowers delivered to her at our office. At that moment when she got it, I was thinking “Get original mate…flowers how boring! If it was me, I’ll get a huge big card draw out 'I love You Always - Jag' inside a big red heart with a small cartoon figure of me and my gf (Im not talking about the big greeting cards, Iam talking about Hand drawing the card) and mail to her working place so she receive it in the middle of a busy day” Wow, just imagine getting that at your workplace. Not that’s what I call romance…too bad I don’t have the guts to do it. Well got to wait for the next gf to try this one out.

Idea 4

This is my favorite. Be attentive to your gf. Remember what she likes and loves. Notice what she often orders in the mamak stall. Notice her for haven sake! If you have spend more then a week with a girl you like and don’t know what she likes, You are a nut! What you can do is to ask her friends (a little dangerous) or her family (preferably her mom, if you dare) or play “What I missed most from my childhood game”.

In this game both of you take turn telling each other what you really missed most from your childhood. Note down everything she likes or misses. One thing I need to clarify since Im speaking to men here. If she says she misses having ice-cream while ridding a swing, then don’t forget to ask her what is the flavour! Get the details. Remember the details. Its only special to her if its chocolate and not vanilla. Get it?

There was once, when I, my gf (name not disclosed for my protection, If she finds out I wrote about our relationship on this blog she will kill me! I don’t want to die just yet. I still have a couple more gf’s to experience before I get married… :P) and her friend were shopping in brickfield for depawali clothes. We passed by an Indian sweet shop. She asked for a certain sweet but they didn’t have it in the shop. When I asked her what kind of sweet it was, I notice she got really excited explaining the sweet to me. So what did I do? I remembered the name of that particular sweet (I cant remember what is the name of the sweet now since that was like ages ago.) Almost a month went by then one day while we were having lunch at “Nirvana’s” in bangsar with her sisters, I excused my self and went to a North Indian restaurant nearby and asked for that particular sweet. They had it, I bought it and by the time I got back to the table, she was almost finishing her lunch. I gave her the sweet and she just exploded with joy. The experience for her was awesome because at first she was dumbfounded as how I knew she like that particular sweet and when I explain to her how. She was surprise that I even remember after 1 month a conversation that she had forgotten. She loved me for it until the day I dumped her. (Hey shit happens..) nothing personal.

So listen up guys. Notice your gf. Period! Remember the details and do stuff like this. She will love you for it. Especially Punjabi girls, since most of them have a false conception that Punjabi guys aren’t romantic. Pull one of these on punjaban and she will melt in your hands.

Money Is An Illusion!

2007-01-29T13:21:00.000+08:00

Here something recieved in my inbox, its something I trully connect to and believe in. Its from "A Happy Pocket Full of Money "by David Cameron

The first step to having wealth is to know what it is. And few people know what it really is, in and of itself. What is wealth? What causes it? What causes the cause of it? Let us start with money, the world"s symbol of wealth, and then move deeper.

Money is not real.

Money is merely legal tender, a form of exchange. We use it to exchange value. It represents value.

Money is the "body" of value. It is the physical representation of value that rises and falls in ourselves, within us. Not within "things" outside of us, but within us. For without us, what can the value of a thing, such as a car, be to us? Nothing, at least not to us. In other words, it is we, the observers, that place value in things, but this value is really value in us - we give value to the material things. The material things have no "money" value in themselves - we give that to them. So, money is the external physical representation of a particular section of our internal value, within us, within you. That is why a house or a block of shares valued at $1 million today can fall to a valuation of half a million dollars tomorrow when fear is introduced into the hearts of those involved. The fear kills a portion of the internal values of the participants and that is reflected by the paper money, the "body" of value.

Here is something else: physical paper money does not e ven represent money in full. It cannot reasonably do that. By some estimates (and this varies from nation to nation), only as little as 4% of the money in the banks exists as paper cash. Imagine how much cotton, linen, pulp, and metal the world would need so as to make all the money everyone has in his or her bank accounts. Imagine how much space it would take to store all this money in paper form. If you were to stack only one million US$1 bills, it would weigh one ton and be 361 ft high. Neither does mone y exist as gold reserves any more. This is for exactly the same reason - we ran out of the reasonable ability to keep a gold standard in the 1970s.

So what does it exist as, the money that we are always talking about? Well, it is one massive illusion. It is all just numbers written on paper and computer storage devices, and assigned to people and entities such as companies and investments, or more accurately, further records! To put it in another way, for every $100 or its equivalent in any other currency, only about $4 exists as printed-paper notes or coins, while the remaining $96 exists as numbers written on papers and computers in banks and businesses and other entities. The only reason this system does not collapse is that we all believe in it. The last time people stopped believing in it in a large enough extent was just before the Depression when large numbers of people rushed to their banks to withdraw their money and found that they could not all get it. This is not what caused the Great Depression, but it in a large way accelerated it.

So, money is not real - something else is. Money is just the shadow of that other something. The first step to wealth is to know what money really is, or more accurately, what it represents. Learn not to look at the money most of the time. As you will soon see, it is very rare in a day that you should ever look at money as you know it today - the cash, the bank accounts, the costs, etc. This is merely the shadow and not the real thing. Looking at the shadow, the p hysical money, as you will soon see, is most of the time very unwise and unhealthy for you and your finances.

Look, instead, at the value within you and within people, and the flowing and exchanging of this value between people. Our internal value, is what creates money. Money is the shadow of our internal value. Develop this internal value in yourself and in others and your external money and wealth will correspondingly rise automatically, without fail.
Know this however: Money represents an aspect of a person"s internal value, but that does not mean that it represents a person"s entire internal value. That is very important. It is not about self-worth. Money only represents an aspect of that internal value that pertains to wealth. You cannot therefore say that a wealthy person has a higher self-worth and value than a poor person, but you can correctly say that in matters that relate and pertain to money, the wealthy person has a higher internal value in that aspect of value or that the person chooses to exercise a higher proportion of this internal value. This section of internal value that reflects on the outside as money, when exercised, is called Wealth Consciousness. It is available to all people equally and can be developed by and within all people equa lly. Like everything else that is important to our being alive, such as air, wealth consciousness is free to all. But you can choose to develop it or not develop it, or to exercise it or not. At any time, you can change your choice, and nothing outside of you can stop you.

You require nothing outside of yourself to increase your wealth consciousness, and therefore your money. All you need is within you right now. You may have forgotten it, but it is right there. You will now remember it. And the first step to that is to always remember that money is not real; it is the shadow of something else.

And here is another secret: Wealth consciousness is simply the expansion of your consciousness and awareness into the wealthy parts of your Self. That is why all that you need to increase your wealth consciousness is within you already. You are already wealthy, but you have been taught to choose to not experience your wealth. This insight changes everything. Like the wealthy people, you can now know how to and choose to start experiencing the wealthy you.

You have more wealth capability within you than you can possibly experience in a lifetime. You need not worry that you have reached your limit of becoming wealthy in any way or because of any condition. Neither do you need to know how to convert wealth consciousness into paper cash money - as you will see, it will happen automatically. All you need to do is expand your wealth consciousness and exercise it, act on it, be it, and the situations and opportunities for the equivalent conversion into cash money will present themselves automatically to you. None of the extremely wealthy people today could have, at the time when they were not wealthy, possibly predicted and planned the exact sequence of events that would lead to their immense wealth. They most probably had a set of goals and a plan, but any one of them will tell you that they met countless "coincidences" and opportunities that "joined the dots" for them in ways they could never have predicted. Their goals were their own doing, but the paths that led to them coming into being, and exceeding them, were amazingly intelligent yet unforeseen. You shall now see how to make them happen in your life - you may not be able to predict their sequence, but you can certainly make these "fortunate coincidences" happen to you every day of your life.

By the way, it is not only paper money that is not real. A lot of the things around you that you hold so real are really not real at all either. You are about to embark on a beautiful, empowering and liberating journey that will show you exactly what your world is in a way that you have never looked at it before. It is a journey that will open your eyes and free your wings. You are about to look "under the hood" of the Life, you are about to learn how to customize your world to your liking.

You are about to attain Wealth Consciousness. Once you do, avoiding success and wealth will become very difficult. Yes, you read that correctly. Once you have wealth consciousness, it will be very difficult for you to not have success and wealth. Success and wealth will follow you automatically wherever you go. You will not need to concern yourself with their quest, yet they will find you. You will be free to experience other aspects of life that you may not have even dreamt of before, dimensions of Self and Life that are truly amazing.

I Am Not So Expressive. Since When?

2007-01-29T12:38:00.000+08:00

I was having a chat with my coach and mentor a few days back and he asked my permission to be honest to me. So I said yes why not. He told me he always felt I am not very expressive with my expression. He finds it difficult to see the passion in me. So I took his feedback, and scope out ways to learn how to show what I really feel and be a bit more expressive. So the next time you see me all freaking out with hand gestures and facial gestures, dont get scared allrite

Here is a video on Increasing Expressiveness by Richard Bandler the father of NLP. I like the way he talks, funny and straight forward. No bullshit kind of a guy.

How You Can Spend The Whole Day Doing What You Like And Make RM6000 Every Month

2007-01-25T14:43:00.000+08:00

Not many people know what I really do to make money. For some years I was in the banking industry working in the rat race just like you. For the past 3 years I have been experimenting with internet marketing and actually making money from the internet on a part time basis.

Middle last year, I went full force and dove into really making money from the net. I generally make RM6000 on a normal month, on really good months I make RM8000 plus. The best part of this business is I have a lot of time in my hands.

Most of last year I was helping SNSM, I felt great doing sewa full time. I love being in service and helping people. The sad part is the politics which comes in play when helping an organization like SNSM. It just got to me. I cant take it anymore. To much of politics and very little sewa, so I am taking a rest and enjoying my life for a change. I am taking a vacation to India for a month and then I'll go down to Australia for a month or so.

Recently a friend ask me why don’t I work harder with the internet marketing business. My answer is simple – Life is not about working and collecting riches. For me its about enjoying it and experiencing it. I am not going to get my ass back to the rat race again. I don’t need a lot of money. I may want it but I don’t need it.

But what do I actually do? Some of you might be wondering isn’t it? Well to be as simple as possible so its not rocket science to you.

I have 2 business running on the net. One is the ebook publishing business, where I create and write books which later I sell on the internet. These books are generally priced at US47 – US$97 which comes up to around RM300 something. I sell about 2-3 books a day.

The second business is called “Affiliate Marketing” where I sell other peoples ebooks for a share of the profits. Let say a ebook sells for US97 and I usually get about 50% commission if I sell the book. That is about US$40 after fees and charges. I manage to sell 1-2 books a day doing affiliate marketing.

A sample of the book I promote, Its called “Secrets of a Self Made Millionaire” and written by one of my mentor Adam Khoo. I am promoting his product because I know him. I’ve read his book and I think it does bring value to anyone who purchase it. Heck I following his advice and I am already living free of financial worries…that proof enough for me.

So I do preety well do you think? The question remains if you want to do the same could you? Yes you can however I will take time. It took me 2 ½ years to learn this stuff and really make money on the net. I suggest you do it part time make some money and invest it back into the business. Soon you can get it running on auto pilot and start making money like I do then you will have loads of free time where you can actually start living your life.
