Book of Wise Investors

Being interested in dot com start up and dot com millionaires’/billionaires stories, especially being worth a million or more at a relatively young age fascinates me and almost anyone; one movie to watch during this period of time, other than Harry Potter will be the Social Network. The Social Network is a movie about the founding of Facebook – world’s largest social networking site and also a story about dot com billionaires. It’s like you are working in a dead end job watching movie about dot com billionaires makes you feel inspired and got some hope…

I have a friend or a few who believes in one of the Abraham religions (the one with two lines at right angles to each other), he once mentioned that English is the global language and at the same time most widely used is because someone wants as many people as possible to read the book of the religion. Superimpose this with the percentage terminology in mathematics and the various factors believed to account for success in one’s career, relationships and businesses; you are going to get an interesting picture.

Being a fan of kungfu movies, especially the profound interlinking of blocks and punches unique to Wing Chun, the obvious movie of choice for me during this period of time will be Ip Man 2 and not really Iron Man 2, though I would recommend most to simply watch both.

Another year has passed; do you lament at another forgettable year or feel satisfied at a life well live?

No one knows what 2010 holds, maybe new world order? But there ways to make it less than ordinary and an unforgettable year.…

“Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”

This verse is by the Sage of Omaha but is actually similar in words and meanings to an old Chinese saying.

Advances in science and engineering depend very much on concepts and knowledge generated by previous pioneers in the respective fields. Albert Einstein once learned Newtonian Mechanics before coming up with the ideas in General and Special theory of relativity that revolutionizes the whole of Physics.

When an inventor set out to invent a certain thing, he don’t start to go about the process…

I know this sounds similar to ask what you can do for your country and not what your country can do for you.

Most people are interested in how to become rich but this is not the first question to ask yourself if you really want to become rich. As eventually, how to do certain things is most probably figured out by other earlier people already. You only just need to research to find out them. To echo the words of Anthony Robbins, a strong enough why can bear almost any how.

Hence, the most important issue is ask yourself…

There is no doubt that all of us want to be rich, but of course rich is subjective, maybe achieving financial freedom is a more appropriate goal for each of us than simply being rich.
