A New Year..A New Start

Actually it all started in December last year.Praise to Allah I finally manage to get a permanent job and of all the companies I  have applied to,went for interview,I ended up in a technology based company,to be more precise,a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner.Imagine that,someone who have been out of a job for quite a long time,have very minimum knowledge about technology,at least from my job managing my own company I do  know about IT,but we mainly do hardware.... to be able to work in a technology based company!

Never give up trying and praying..that is what I've been doing,and I thank Allah for this opportunity,for his blessing.Now I have to work hard to prove that I can deliver,have to learn a lot of things along the way.I remember reading somewhere,What you can think of,you can achieve..and I certainly agree.Why?Because if we can think or imagine about something,it is within our reach and capabilities,it is just up to us to try and achieve it.

I started of as a business development executive,that is what I apply for,and that is the position I was offered.But after the first month I realized that I can give much more,at least I thought and believe I can.So after a discussion with my boss,actually it was more a heart to heart talk,he agreed on what I propose.On 2nd January I was officially appointed as the Operation Manager.I have to go through a 3 month probation period,yet only after my first month I've been promoted!That is why I'm saying,if you can think of something,and try to achieve it,you can actually do it.

As human,we seldom fault our self if something goes bad,but we always want to be credited if something good happen.Try to change,sometimes it is good to reflect and learn from the mistake we make.If we can't even admit to our mistake,how are we going to learn from it?

This my 2nd week in my 2nd month working in a new place,but there is so many thing that I have learn,and so many things that I want to do.I pray that I will be given the strength to fulfil all the task and responsibility given to me and at the same time manage to give something extra when and where necessary.

I used to read a lot about Internet Marketing and I still do,in IM,you will always hear the terms,You have to give first before you can ever get anything,and believe me,it is true.So try to give,rather than wait for someone to give you something.

Always believe,always try..never give up.I really thank Allah for what I have now.Other people went into 2009 with uncertainty,some lost their jobs,some lost their businesses,but I got a job,a good job with a good pay after going through a lot of hardship.Life is like a wheel,sometimes you are at the top,sometimes,out of the blue,you come tumbling down.Like what Forrest Gump said..Life is like a box of chocolate,you'll never know what you're goin' to get inside..

Happy New Year..may 2009 ends up brighter than what most people predict..it is just prediction,no one can really tell except ALLAH.

Basic Instinct.

We all need money.We need it daily,for rent,bills,foods,clothes,school,tuition,medical and lots of other things.We will certainly try to look for opportunities that can help supplement what we already have,to have a better life,to have something extra in case of emergency,or maybe go for a vacation,but the point is we always look for making money opportunity.Who doesn't.

I think about 10 years ago,there was a craze here,about an easy way to make money.It is a Pyramid Scheme,you join,get as many downline,you earn money,lots of money.It is kind of a viral marketing,because words about it spread very fast,and lots of people started to join.In the end,most people ended up poorer than when they started,losing lots of money,some even lose money that they save for education,or to buy a new house.How sad.

Then in the last 3 or 4 years ago,even until now,a new scheme surface,this time it is Scratch N Win.You scratch a ticket,won a luxury car,but to get it you have to pay certain amount of cash,get some lousy electrical product that worth only 1/4 of what you paid,or less,wait forever to get your car,went to check,the office is closed.The best thing to do is lodge a police report,but will you get your money back?To make thing worst,the police told you you're not the first one.

I just wonder what similarity this story has with all those OPPORTUNITY you see everywhere on the Internet.Are they for real?OK..they have testimonials,screen shot of payment received,and it does show a large amount of cash,those sports cars,even luxury boats!If people can fake a photo,very easily with all this latest technology,is it possible all that is fake to?I just wonder.

I always trust my instinct,and when I see one of this site,I always have this feeling that it is all scam,so it never manage to attract my attention,or make me feel intrigue or whatever.I'm in quite a difficult position now,and I do need some cash,but even so,this sort of thing just never make sense to me,but some people do believe,and sadly,they lose their hard earned money just because they wanted to make some extra cash.I'm not saying all there is out there is scam,maybe there are some genuine one,it is up to you to choose,if you choose the right one,good for you,if not..

Believing there is a way to earn money without doing nothing is I think the most ridiculous thing ever.If there is such possibility,I think people won't be wasting time writing blogs,setting up websites to make business,even bother to go to work,because we can all just stay at home,watch TV,and doing nothing.No complains about fuel price,hey we can even help save earth,because nobody needs to drive to go to work anymore.Then again..this is only my opinion.

You have to trust your instinct.Other than trusting my instinct to keep away from this easy money thing,I always trust my instinct even about blogging,if I feel something is not right,I won't do it,even though it is the most popular thing among bloggers,or even recommended by top and seasoned bloggers.I may sound stupid,but that is just me,that is how I do things and believe me,my instinct have help me a lot and the most important thing is,I believe instinct is God's way of showing the right path.

All this making money opportunity is created by people who takes advantage of people dreams to be rich.They created the hype,when people start to believe,they created something saying it is the most powerful product to help make your dream come true.They don't have anything to sell,don't have any product,they are only selling dreams and promises,promise to make you rich.You are actually helping them make more money,helping them get rich.Like a pyramid scheme,who benefit the most from it?The people who started it.

Listen to your heart..follow your hear heart.Mind can easily be manipulated in lots of way.Don't always believe in what you see,what you hear,it isn't always the truth.

Care For Some Interesting Facts?

Fact No.1

Google tops the place for search among Internet users for April 2008.Results of comScore April shows that share of searches for the top 5 search engines are :

1. Google Sites - 61.6%
2. Yahoo! Sites - 20.4%
3. Microsoft Sites - 9.1%
4. AOL - 4.6%
5. Ask Network - 4.3%

Even if Microsoft do manage to buy Yahoo! the combined search results for both is still less than Google.

Fact No.2

A study by Pew Internet & American Life reveals that people are not using the Internet as we assumed they would.By taking the results of music purchases for example:

• 83% still discovered new music by way of radio broadcast.
• 64% discovered new music through conversation with friends/family/co-worker.
• 56% found it by going to various online tools like artist website and listening to it on streams.

And we thought Internet is the way of life for most people.

Fact No.3

17 years old Alex Phillips a.k.a The MySpace Kid faces charges of child pornography as well as defamation and sexual exploitation of a child.

The Reason - His girlfriend broke up with him,he was hurt,really hurt and because of feeling hurt and angry,he posted nude pictures of his ex to his MySpace gallery and if that is not enough,he added captions to the pictures like "Yo!U see how big her hole is!Its from me!"

Police give him a chance to take down those pictures,but according to investigators,his response was "F*** that!I am keeping them up".

A few things that we can learn.

• Girls,don't ever let your boyfriend take your picture or videos in the nude or while having sex.
• People do lots of stupid thing in anger.
• People do lots of stupid thing when in love.
  
• When you're given a chance to undo your mistake,take it.

When you're in love,everything is beautiful,but when it ends,it can turn out to be a disaster!Love is beautiful,it cannot be forced and confusing sex for love is a big mistake.Sex is sex,people can have sex even with people they don't love,it is lust.Love is to appreciate,to be kind,to be gentle,to be caring,to be responsible.

Let Me Make This Clear.

First of all,this is my personal blog,so I will write whatever I want to write,whatever I think I want to write,whatever I find interesting to write,whatever I feel are related to me in whatever way it might possibly be..but..I try not to offend anybody,anyone.If you by chance find my blog and feels that it is not what it is suppose to be..well..I'm sorry,there are all sorts of personal blog out there and you can't expect each one of it to be the same,writing about your family,your separation,how you got dumped or whatever.The meaning personal is what the writer think is personal to him/her,things happening in his/her life,things that interest him/her.In my personal blog I will write about myself(Maybe sometimes later you will know about me),about my interest and that includes blogging,Man Utd,Ferrari and my observation of all sorts of people in this World Wide Web.

I have two other blogs,one where I share my view on what Internet Marketing and Making Money is all about(Most of it are scams if you asked me)and the other one where I share tips and interesting fact about blogging.I can't write what I feel personally on both blog,it won't be nice and certainly unprofessional,that is why I started this blog,where I can write what ever I want,what ever opinion that I have regarding those two topics and other things that interest me.I don't think it is wrong because this is my blog.I won't be sharing tips or that sorts of thing though,just maybe sometimes writing about my dissatisfaction about something or my thoughts about some issue.

I feel really glad that I manage to let that off my chest..so I hope there will be no further misunderstanding on what this blog is about.There will certainly be a variety of posting here in this blog because of the variety of interest that I have but I certainly don't want this blog to be too much of everything,it won't be good,covering whatever topic that you think will be your readers interest.I will write about things that I feel will give some insight about who I am,and something that we all can relate to,probably to make our life better,or just so that we could be someone better.

I'm only human,and as a human I tend to make mistake.I try not to keep on making the same mistake,try to be nice to everyone close to me,or someone I don't even know.I love to help others and I always remember what someone once asked me..When is the best time to help others?I simply answer,when we can afford to because I thought that seems to be the obvious answer.He said no..the best time to help others is when you are having difficulties of your own.I always think about the truth to his answer,and after living the most difficult part of my life for the past 4 years until now,I know it is true.I manage to help a lot of people in some way or the other,and by doing that,somebody else help me in ways that I never thought of.

I will tell my story and I'm sure you'll be surprise when you get to read my whole story,how I live by doing nothing for 4 years..yes..4 years.Till then..take care.Hope you enjoy reading my post and will continue to read my blog.To all those who feels that my blog is nothing but a random blog,I apologize for wasting your time.
