Come to this picture when someone say 'you can place a bid' followed by 'i maybe accept or maybe reject' when asked by another person ," Can i place a bid on this player". This conversation was striked when we are playing online game, Football Manager 2007. Somehow i was furious with this kind of business ethics. I was educated and self-taught by with various of books, opinions and real-life stories.
If i hear a statement associated with a word namely 'Maybe', i will not make any move or buy. Similiarly, when a stock from a certain company is screaming a word in front of my face and it say 'Maybe go up or maybe go down', the tirst thing i will do is not to buy this stock until it confirm its position. It is where i will do like this as a future investor.
I adovcate good ethics to do business or deal with your friends/humans nicely. Don't be bastard putting a knife at someone just because someone pissed you off. My principle is if someone make me upset or fed up, i will not use any effort to make this someone to fed up as well akin to one silly analogy 'You beat me, i beat you back'. It is bloody idoit game. I think we can do better than that. It is to be gentleman and try to settle the difference amicably. It will help your reputation greatly and with good ethic, a lot of people will look up on you. Subsequently, some of them may want to do business with you because they know that you are the kind who can make the deal possible in the honest way.
It illustrate how people can be afford to be two faced people. One face is to be friendly with friends because they benefit you and the other face is to be hostile if they don't benefit you. Gabriel's action tell it all. I always want myself as one face person. Regardless of whether i have benefit or not, i still entertain every person i see equally. At the same time i do not wish to bring any pain to anyone and which is why i am quiet person.
Should you negligent or slack on the certain matter, it will be unlucky if such decision go against you stripping your options u already made in the result of getting the things in 100%. You are liable for having 'maybe' mindset/mentality.
If you hear me saying 'maybe' in the first place, it is where i am going to spend research on all possible options. If i still have this 'maybe' mindset/mentality, i will not do anything which mean it leave me to explore other things rather than focusing on this thing.
People may be wondering why i rate so badly on Adam Khoo's book about investing. It is written in local content that Singaporeans can understand. What i am not impressed is uncertainity aura all over the pages. You can see the charts and yet it tell you to watch the chart. Should the line break the resistence level, it is when you invest. The biggest question is that which company you should invest on especially when there are more than 1000 companies in SGX. Therefore it is poorly written compared to other books i read. It is waste of money to buy one. Whenever i go border browsing business section, i spot a lady holding a few books, one of them is the book written by Adam Khoo about investment while she was further looking for any interesting investment book. When i was reading an investment book in the border, i saw a young man who browse the adam khoo book about investment quickly for a 10 minutes and put it back. Tsk tsk tsk,i think Adam Khoo with his success(i don't know how great they are) should give educational advise for free. I loathe people like him using them for business opportunity. I support professors who give views on certain topics on seminar which may cost you few dollars. There is a set of rule for ethics. You may not understand my eccentric character and you are free to buy Adam Khoo's motivational services. I do read Napolean Hill book which is also self-motivational but the difference Adam Khoo and him is that Napoleon spend more than 20 years researching on rich men unlike Adam Khoo selling his successful method.
I cite this example as one of 3 famous cautions from Macroeconomics. I believe it is the case of 'the fallacy of composition' for Adam Khoo's service on education.(Only those who study Economics will know what the fallacy of composition is)
Suliana
So far, in my blog, i have wrote two delication blog entry on two persons. Today i am making the third one. So far i am quite impressed and happy to gain knowledge that i may not know from Suliana. Best of all, i get the chance to talk favourite topics like Economics, Finance and all kind. I don't need to talk crap like 'i got versace jean worth $500' or 'i went to France'.
Well, it is ok to talk crap. I still want to hang around people who are smarter than me and behave better than me. When Warren Buffet and Munger were asked by young boy aged around 14 or 15 years old how to be succesful person, Buffett said that you need to work together with people who are smarter than you and behave better than you.
Exactly, Suliana and i are on similiar footing in intelligence. Best of all she behave reasonably well. I still want to hear her opinions and develop my new theory as well as improve my current theories. I believe that a lot of great people have their own set of theories.
I am happy to know her through Vishal. She is a great friend.
These days, i was shocked. Counting 3 unusual comments from 3 different persons, i never think much about my own ability. Miss Han, my primary school teacher roughly rate me as 'Who knows i may be president of a country or famous scientist' in front of my classmates during the lesson(In fact, i never paid atention on it until when i get older, i realise her comment when i happen to remember. Another comment come from secondary school's chemistry teacher saying that if i do not have this disability problem and spend more time on studying, i could do way way much better than all of you' in front of the class. Just few days ago, Suliana told me that our IMEC lecturer, Patrick think highly of me. Although i was there during the group discussion with him, i didn't pay attention but it brought to my mind when i remembered the other two comments. Me the next CEO??!?!? I didn't think much about it because it seem to be harmless. I really wonder whether i am really up to it.
As for now, i am spending more time on reading books and textbooks than before. I hope that i do want to fulfill those 3 comments i heard in my life. They will not put me any pressure as far as i concern. All i know is to make them proud because they thought so. I want to return my favour to them one day.
I am quite fortunate enough to experience terrible happening. Like Richard Branson, Warren Buffett, George Soros, Benjaimin Graham, Sun Bin, Zhuge Liang, they were deeply affected by horrible events. They vowed to do something. Now you see where they stand today.
Law does not protect you at all. But i do believe that justice will have long arm to catch crinimals who are not so sophisticated type. You should know that there are some crinimals who are not caught and still hiding somewhere. Good example is Osama. You should know better than that. Law will let you win if you have proper requirement to convince judge or jury in the case law basis or codifited law basis.
That is why law can't protect you all. Law is for you to know and avoid such happening. Law is created to get them to behave gentlemen.
Branson broke the civil law. Nicholas Tse also broke the law as well. i nearly got crminial record if i never behave properly when i was young. I know how they feel when they were in police station for questioning. Inside the police station, policemen set the rule on people behind the poles what they should not do. it is not even a prison at all. One day, when you happen to be in there, you will be weeping because you don't think much about people's warning/advice. It will be hitting the nail on your head where you will realise that it is really too true.
Warren Buffett went throuh horrible period known as The GreatDepression in 1930s. George Soros went through World War 2 avoiding being killed by German. Benjamin Graham worked hard enough that people can invest money in the right way based on his theory from Security Analysis. From those horrible moments and experiences for me, i will always remember them and they will serve me as deterrence and encouragement to improve myself.
She brought interesting points whenever we strike certain kind of conversation.
After watching whole 16 episodes of War Of Money, i wholeheartedly agree with few opinions from Geun Na Ra's thought. Indeed, money is made of life.
War Of Money(Korean Drama 2007)
Synopsis:
Park Shin Yang박신양 will be returning to the small screen in the comic adapted drama " War of money" . Park Shin Yang plays a ruthless private moneylender. On the other hand, Park Jin Hee plays the role Seo Joo Hee서주희 who is filled with righteousness. Seo Joo Hee서주희 is a young female head of the family who has the attraction of making men fall for her at first sight. She was to marry a divorced man to repay her family's debts when Geum Na Ra금나라 (PSY) appears at the wedding reception to collect them and ruined her plans. From then onwards, Seo Ju Young vows to take her revenge on Geum Na ra but she falls in love in the end with him instead.
Shin Dong Wook plays Ha Woo Sung who appears to look like a handsome young man with no worries in life, but he grew up in an orphanage in which he suffered in pain and have a brutal nature inside of him. He learns how to become a money lender/broker along with Geum Na Ra from the same teacher. Ha Woo Sung and Geum Na Ra are both rivals in business and for the affections/love of Seo Joo Hee.
Kim Jung Hwa will play the character "Lee Cha Yeon", a money banker/loaner. Unlike her tough/dorky/cute image that she has potrayed in the past, she'll come out very sexy in this drama.
Opinion:
It is fantastic drama that sparks my favourite interest. Although it may not tell anything what i am interested in, behind it, i see a force of power. The power i am talking about is the compound interest.
Let me bring my quote that will sum up my future life. “The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest” by Albert Einstein
After watching whole 16 episodes, it is already in my favourite drama shows list that i want to rewatch over and over again. But ending is too sudden and on top of that, another story of similiar of this show is on the way. Sigh
This show is attracted a lot of viewers in Korea. It is HIT as i expected! I am aiming to buy original dvd with english subtitle and korea dialogue right away once i see it avaiable in the market.
Rating:10/10
Bonus:1)You will find it interest how loansharks get the money back from people who borrowed 2)Good love chemistry 3)Male lead actor acting as Geum Na Ra is top class. 4)story is really very very realistic 5)the story itself is so hot that so many people will definately glue their eyes on it
