Because there is ups and downs

Many a time, my friends will comment that I am so lucky to be my own boss. Well, I will always replied them in humble,” I ‘m  blessed”.
Actionpreneur was born in the year 2003, I couldn’t believe that it has been 6 years since. It never been an easy task. A lot of times, we were  thrown into challenging situation. And what keep us around, is picking ourselves and “Just do it” . Due to these ups and downs, we grow. It can be stressful but I learn a lot through this process. From a person who dislike cold calling to answering and communicating with the other party no matter who they are. I have grow a lot. Thank you for such a powerful experience. Thank G.S

My personal library

I have a personal library at home where it had great collection of different types of books. I can use this phrase, “You name it, and I may have it” Recently, my mum was packing the room and dug out one book titled “Great Words from Great Lives” printed in 1977 by Reader Digest. It is 32 years old. (Mum instructed me to donate it to the National Library. I changed my mind and decided to keep it) I was said it is gem among the rest.
Quoted one of the Great Words

“I who am blind can give one hint to those who see – one admonition to those who would make full use of the gift of sight: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses. Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again.” by Helen Keller.

Some may think what does it mean. To me, it means Cherish every bits and pieces that I have NOW as in the present. Be it to a simple action, feel it, do it, see it, smell it, touch it with my heart and soul.

Jumping over the moon

Last night, I came with the intention to change my broadband to Mio home. And I ended up helping my parents to handle their telecommunication contract. I had applied a Redpac contract  under my mum name for dad and Mum’s contract allow her to upgrade a new phone. And it comes with a free bluetooth earpiece.

Wow. Everything just comes in place nicely. I got a new phone for Dad -(apparently wanted to get a new handphone for a long time) The moment he entered the house, I told him about his new gadgets. His eyes were like sparkling stars. I could literally see that he was jumping over the moon. I am glad that  small  gift bring happiness to my parents.
Going back to the bluetooth earpiece, I have been wanting to get one for a long time. I didn’t expect to have it free. I am grinning from ear to ear too. My lesson learnt- When I give abundantly, I received abundantly too.

A simple thanks

Neither am I a writer nor a poet. Neither am I intelligent nor stupid. Neither am I busy nor free. So what I have in me. Just me, my heart, my soul and my mind.

I feel this is so important to see myself as a whole. No judgment and no specific preference. Just simple soul. I like it this way.

Thank you heart for still pumping actively. Thank you soul for willing to experience more things openly. Thank you mind for still actively working and thinking. Thank you for being with you for so long. mauck

Baffled

I was thinking about it for such a long time and I am baffled about the result that this boy scored. It was worse than a Primary 1 students. What really went wrong with him? He has no interest in his study? or he was  simply too lazy. Many a times, I really want to give up hope on him. But there is this amazing force to hold on me and say “NO”. What can I do to help him? This is what I have been asking? How to help him? He can’t do Maths, English and Science. Everything he did was touching the red line.

Was it because of his attitude towards study or is it because the words that most of the educators had been telling him that put him down so much that he lost his interest in study.

Angel, pls help me. Give me some guidance to help this boy.

Expectation overruled

I gained a new distinction five hours ago. That will be expectation is overruled. As well as no -looking forward for a particular day. Just realized whenever I looked forward to something, my expectation will go up. Then, it didn’t happened. And I will be very upset.

So no more looking forward to something. Just enjoy the present and let it flow. This will reduce the expectation level too.

Learned this lesson is a painful process and I will remember it. That’s what the old say. No pain, no gain.

Celebration

The beginning of year 2009 is like a roller coaster to me. My career is showing amber light to signal me to review my teaching method and many others. A lot of time, I thought of giving up the idea of what I am doing now. However, there is always a silent answer from Angels and God saying hold on there, I will help you overcome this. And guess what, the light shone on me 10 minutes ago. I received a call from one of my student’s parent saying that her child will be coming back to my class even though it will be very tiring for him. Reason is that the student like the way I teach and he understand my teaching method. By hearing this, it gave me a sudden boost in what I am doing. I will continue  what I have started and go on with my super hype drive. In addition to that, I will find more methods to deal with some issue that I have overlook.

Thanks boy for giving me this trust. And thanks to your mum for sharing it with me. Thanks Angels and God for prompting his mum to share this with me. It is indeed an antidote to my current feeling. Thanks. muack

New year with a new start

There is always a new start in life. I started a good habit today. Before ending my day, I pray for all the goodness of the day that Angels has created for me. And I ended my prayer  with the designated wake up time. I believe  this technique will work but never try it at all ever since I read from a guru’ s book. Finally, I tried it and it works.

It is really so powerful and I am happy that I took the action today.

Thank you for the awesome bright morning .

Bitterly sad

Bitterly sad is how I feel ever since the news break out for the past one week. There is no resolution at the end and it is getting worse. It affected my holiday mood. And guess what, I need to get back to working mood without a right break. I don’t care. I am going to plan for another super duper holiday.. but this country, I have to rethink about it.

Filling my soul with music

15 Nov 2.30pm to 4.30pm, I was at NYP music room to practise clarinet. Been a clarinet player back in my teens, which I had not been playing for a lonnnnnnnnnng time. Yup. It had been 15 years.  Not sure where this courage energy  formed. Somehow, it is a serious challenge for me to fulfill. The amazing part was I  able to blow some lovely notes out from the clarinet. It was so astonishing for me. I didn’t believe it in the first place. The pieces that NYP alumin had chose was amazing beautiful. Those music pieces had deeply mesmerizing me to stay on. I stayed on and decided to buy a new reed. As well as doing some homework on fingering.

I also like to thanks Wei Xiang for giving me this chance to join the band. It really cool and I am looking forward for the next practice.
