The Mighty Mind

What the mind can think, I can deliver.

Positive begets positive
Success begets successes

If you think you are sick, you are!
The decay in your mind transmit negative ions and flood the physique; you become physically impaired and is immobilized

If you think you cannot, you can't!
You have brutalized and cannibalized your abilities to perform the moment you think you can't.

If you think the people around you do not like you, you are damned!
You have ringfenced yourself and created a barrier where no one can get near you, let alone being your friend.

If you think your superior looks down on you or are belittling you and is not giving you any chances to demonstrate your abilities, you set yourself a glass ceiling from which you are housed-in.

... the lists go on............

The problem is "YOU"
The solution is also in "You"

When it must go wrong, it will go wrong - anytime, anywhere, whatever your dreams

Give yourself a chance as no one will...
Get up with a smile, wash up and smile at the beautiful creature you see (first thing) when you look into the mirror... "Yourself"

You will notice how the radiance in you is going to outshine the desert sun!

And, from this moments on, the world smiles with you

The Magic Millions

What does a million mean to you?

A million ...

Buys you a private apartment but comes with long term commitment and burden

Drives you to work harder to double the million and bogs you down to material challenges

Gives you a 'feel good' day to daydream all that you wanted to do but have yet to start doing

Gives you immediate comfort and a sense of well-being but also sets you thinking

But ...

A million blessings will help you stay out of trouble and keep you healthy

A million well-wishers will warm your heart and give you a steely mind

A million achievable hopes will motivate you towards your goals

A million helping hands will save more people in distress and alleviate sufferings

You can have a million dollar$ which gives you material and short-term reprieve;

I prefer A Million Blessings, Well-wishers, Achievable hopes, Helping hands because these will, by extension, bring me multiples of millions with peace and harmony.

I gain something and every others gain with me

Stockmarket : Buy, Sell, Hold or I Don't Know

Like Sunrise & Sunset, the market shall flow

In February 2009, I wrote that "The markets (Asian markets - East - seem to perform better) had rebounded from their lows and the rebound is based on hope NOT confidence. Its likely that we will see the market testing the lows in the coming months as hope turns hollow."

In March 2009, when market was near the trough, I penned "For cash rich investors and those who needs to deploy their funds, its ideal to 'buy on weakness'; you will be right if you can ride out the crisis and time is on your side."

By June 2009, I chose to " test, the empirical probabilities that :

1) Sentiments dull and stockmarket moves down in, or around, a Lunar Eclipse

2) Sentiments improve and stockmarket moves up in, or around, a Solar Eclipse

Both correlation were proven to be highly correlated.

What's next?

I am only an armchair player and I derive satisfaction in seeing my postulations proven correct.

My take is :

i) The best is behind us; beware of inflation, at best, and, at worst, deflation, going forward.

ii) Between now to Nov 09, trend changes with a 'flip of a coin', that is, volatile. Nobody makes money in a stable market, except stockbrokers, albeit lesser.

iii) The winners must identify trend leaders in pharmaceuticals, natural resources, banks and publishing and gaming.

iv) For those who are game, the 'cheapies' are ideals for RTO and asset-based plays.

Its fun making money but also be ready to empty your wallets if the bets fall on hard grounds. Before I forget, to those who had made good money, spare alittle for charity and the less fortunate.

Social harmony is the stabilizer whichever way the market goes!

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. Giving properly means doing so confidently and without too much encumberments. [Buddha]

“And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. (Luke 11:9-10)

Blissfully Ignorant

Babies enjoy life without worries

Villagers live on their crops and enjoy pollution-free surrounding

Fishermen trawl their catch and bathe in the breeze

The aged worries about their next meal and health

City dwellers worry about their income flows and consistent expenses

The rich worries about their declining wealth

Quality of life starts and blooms with the basics

If we are happy with the basic, quality prevails

Frustration, greed, envy, regrets are subset of the undesirable mind

The mind is menable if we consciously pilot (it) away from the evil half

When the mind runs loose, stability and reasonableness evaporates into thin air

The conscious mind thrive if it remain blissfully ignorant
