Men and woman want a partner who is truly on their side and someone who will respect them, regardless of the situations that may find themselves involved in from time to time. Expressing the areas of blame too often can sometimes run a mate, friend or partner off. People get weak and make bad decisions from time to time, but for an understanding partner, this is a good time to help strengthen your partner, as he or she realizes the fullness of their wrongdoings. Helping them to overcome an error of judgement will most likely prevent it from occurring again. Anything can be forgiven, as long as there are genuine concerns and agreements to leave it in the past and build upon a better present and future.
Too many men and women are challenging one another, rather than trying to build a strong relatinoship. One or the other is so self-centered that they are always speaking out on the job they have, the amount of money they are making, and certain gifts that they have given in the past. Often, the individual may have numerous expressed feelings that justify their inability to perform a non-respectful act of some kind.

Men look for the lacking element of warmth that only a caring mother can give at birth. Females look for the strong security and protection that comes from a caring father for his family and household. Male and female mates have these traits within them, and they can be brought forth with any caring desire.
Two minds working as one is a team of action that will bring many desirable results and rewards. When the initial infuuences of men remain as a leader, home provider, protector, a clever winning decision-maker, a hunter (whose aim is to find whatever is necessary to reach his goals), a planner, a sensitive and understanding gentleman, as well as a romantic lover, his spiritual blueprint will guide him into successes beyond his original imagination.
As for men, women too should realize that their job as a mate, partner, helper, romantic lover, the keeper of trust worthy secrets, organizer, a loving mother of her children, and the strong visualizer of things to come must keep her king or prince's domain comfortable and stimulating. The spirit of a woman can make her man feel like he is a superman, long before he reaches such a level. Treatment, belief, and verbal reassurance have unseen powers that can allow supernatural forces to enter any vessel or body whose mind is pleased with his helper and home front. Great ideas and enthusiasm come through the mystical minds of men who know that they are loved and entrusted to win their unforeseen battles. A little encouragement in the warm arms of a caring mate, most often brings forth little miracles that keep the team tight and tough to beat in any battle.
Life is filled with mysteries, setbacks, up and down periods, but a comforting attitude of sure confidence will make blessings manifest. Even when things aren't so great, there is always a cheerful tomorrow coming with unexpected opportunities. Every day is a great day, especially when you know that you are not alone in your battle for survival.
All good things that will bring lasting comfort in our lives take a little time to manifest it, but for those who learn the rules of patience, their days for prospering and reaping the good fruits that we truly deserve will be there as promised. Great faith and belief in your plans must be revealed in your daily attitudes in order to reel in your expectations, just as a very patient fisherman would do! Remember: - The calmness of a fruitful mind produces a warm, tender and understanding attitude.

Some good statements which I want to share with everyone;
Many people cant't foresee that all the things that are happening throughout the world are based around a few simple principles. The top three are dollars, political science, and the art of greed. When there is no money being made, there is very little focus on those areas.
When you have been paid very well to perform a believable act, your expertise becomes very highly attractive. If you are a team member and want to keep living beyond ordinary means, receiving big paychecks are for those who strive for the best in their career of this never-ending game.
This is a profession like any other, only the best need to apply. Honesty is a foreign word, which is used in a joking manner in the in-crowd of the wealthy. Fairness and really caring about one another are just tools of expression. Everyday is truly a real battle to overcome your opponents and any challenges that may threaten your work site or paid profession.
Suffering is a negative that many people dislike, and the only way to keep it away from your door is to join in the mix in the jungle of greed. After a while, in the jungle of uncaring people, money and all other material possessions take top priority over all else. Those who have learned that material possessions don't bring happiness, peace and love relationships, are seeking the supernatual powers of and unseen God by learning to walk by faith and not by things of physical sight.
Throughout history, mankind has risen into great power, just to end up destroying what it worked so desperately hard to preserve. Understanding the principles of power and how they relate to everyone and everything is very important indeed. If the lesson isn't learned here on the earth, there is no guarantee that there will ever be another real chance offered. Humans must learn to curb their anger and to control their emotions to an extent that they can prosper from their mental decisions. Building a huge building, just to destroy it soon after you have taken time to admire its creation, doesn't make logical sense. Time must be used more wisely, and the human race should strive for a solution that would keep everyone happy and content for an endless amount of time.
Ideas are mere thought impluses untill they care placed into a meaningful conclusion for the whole of humanity.

PDCA ("Plan-Do-Check-Act")
"PLAN
Establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with the specifications.
DO
Implement the processes.
CHECK
Monitor and evaluate the processes and results against objectives and Specifications and report the outcome.
ACT
Apply actions to the outcome for necessary improvement. This means reviewing all steps (Plan, Do, Check, Act) and modifying the process to improve it before its next implementation."
Now readers, try thinking how this approach can be helpful to your personal investment?
1- PLAN - Assuming I want to reach 100K hard-cold cash by FY2009, which is 20months away from now.
100K divide 20 months = 5K per month.
So how are you going to achieve this 5K per month with a single source of income??? What type of investment suits you in order to achieve compound interest rate of 10-15% per year?
2- DO
Implement action and make sure your net worth heads north over south and know the meaning of "needs" and"wants"
3- CHECK
Ensure that you are staying focus on your plan and spend at least 1 hour every to review your goals
4- ACT
Keep a positive mind frame if you are getting progress and the right result in your forecast plan, however if you are off the track along the way, do something about it to bring what is wrong to right.

Tomorrow isn't guaranteed
LIFE is fragile. Life is transient. And the unexpected departure of former colleague Eddie Toh from this world last Sunday was, for me, a much-needed reminder to take stock.
In our hectic lives, the days literally zoom past; it seems like everything is in fast-forward mode. Rarely do we have time to stop and consider what is really important to us.
It seems like just yesterday when a friend of mine, Carol, called me around 10 on a Sunday morning.
'Guess who's in front of me now,' she said.
Me: 'How would I know?'
Carol: 'Thaksin. He's having bak kut teh at Ah Sio Bak Kut Teh at
Me: 'You sure it's him? Aiya, even if it is him, he may be gone by the time I get there.'
I put down the phone. But the chance that The Business Times could score a scoop with deposed Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra while he was having bak kut teh at
Life's dichotomies
I called Eddie. Knowing the true news hound he was, I was sure he would make his way there. Furthermore, he lived in that area. About 10-15 minutes later, both of us reached Ah Sio's shop about the same time. Eddie came well prepared - with his note book, tape recorder and a barrage a questions for Mr Thaksin. Alas, he never got to ask them; the ex-PM had already finished his breakfast and gone.
To prove that he was there, my friend Carol showed us a photo she took with Mr Thaksin on her handphone. So we ended up having our brunch anyway. Eddie, then the deputy news editor of BT, subsequently got that photo published in the paper.
Although this happened more than a year ago in January 2007 (how time flies!), it is still fresh in my mind.
After that, Eddie left BT - and, alas, we managed to catch up only once for dinner and drinks.
There are a lot of dichotomies in life. Humans as a species are different from others because we can delay our gratification, which is one of the reasons we have progressed more than other animals.
Instead of eating all the food we have straight away, we save some for tomorrow. Instead of spending all that we have today, we save and invest. Instead of enjoying life to the fullest today, we study, we work. We sacrifice spending time doing things we like because we have an exam to take next month, or have a project deadline to meet next week.
We do all this in the hope that, some time in the future, we will get to enjoy the fruit of our labour.
Indeed, it is those who have the discipline to delay gratification who will be successful in life. What can a person make of his life if all he does every day is sip wine, loaf on the beach and feel high?
On the other hand, if we strive too much to keep up with the Joneses and keep on increasing the speed of the treadmill we are on, life becomes a drag.
There is no denying that some folks - a lucky few - derive pleasure from the work they do. Others, however, become too obsessed with material pursuits. As Nassim Taleb noted in his book Fooled by Randomness, the higher a person is promoted, the less of his time will belong to him.
In life, the fact is that we all have to do what we have to do so that we can do what we want to do. We have to work to survive, to indulge ourselves, to ensure we are financially secure so that we can raise a family or devote our time to some cause we believe in.
Perhaps, given the unpredictability of life, we should not feel guilty about pampering ourselves once in a while.
As Berkshire Hathaway's vice- chairman Charlie Munger said, every day you should give the best hour of the day to yourself. It can be spent with a loved one, or it can be spent exercising so you can remain fit and healthy, or it can be spent thinking about how best to manage your finances. And the rest of the time, you can do what you have to do.
But, of course, to have a goal, a target, is what keeps humans going. The key is to try to not make this an all-encompassing purpose that makes you lose sight and perspective of everything else.
One way to keep perspective is to derive pleasure and satisfaction from little achievements along life's path. For me, an article well done is something to be happy about. A dish well cooked is another reason to be satisfied.
But, ultimately, what people seem to remember most about life when they reach the end of their earthly journey is other people who travelled with them and the experiences they shared.
A dinner with a group of friends at
Since we never know what tomorrow will bring, we should make today - every day - count. So give your mum a call. Arrange that lunch with the friend you said you'd meet 'one day'. Make the first move to know a person you have been wanting to know. Buy a ticket to a concert to hear your favourite music.
And while you're at it, try some random kindness with no expectation of receiving anything in return. Make somebody's day. Because, like Eddie, we are all but passing through this world.
My regular readers will know my column is about the nitty-gritty of money, which is something we all need. But sometimes it pays to stop and think: there are plenty of other riches out there too.
Margin of safety
Keep this in mind.
