RRDay 1
A leader who does not listen will soon find himself with people who have nothing to say…
1. First wealth is created by the first.
2. Second, wealth is expanded by the second generation and
3. Third, it is squandered by the 3rd.
Case in point: Low family of Penang Malaysia
First gen; Businessman of mining interest
Second gen; Holdings company investing (read: invest money in companies then harvest later)
Third gen: Party boy! (per newspaper, dealt with movies, properties and luxurious places!)
Look at what money can buy!!
1. In order to be filthy rich, one has to operate on the edge or bounds of law. Found out so much about how he operates on an international level and (if true) he is indeed a genius in establishing contacts and relationships, utilizing (genuinely) over time, when the need arises. But amidst all that, he remains a very trustworthy man. A trait that all traders or businessmen need to possess. Folks our word should be our bond. PERIOD!

2. Nothing beats hard work. 15 to 16 hour days. Yes. That is how long he works in his office. From 7-11 or sun up till midnight. Everyday. Weekends included. Not sure what is his motivation. But surely, he has been able to demonstrate that one has to LOVE iwhat one does in order not to get tired doing such.
MORAL of the story: work is your friend. Like a friend, he will come to your rescue when you need it the most.
3. Success is dressed in overall not a suit. remember a time when I was a boy and one of my daily chore is to clean up my grandma/grandpas pigpen. The smell. The odor. The filth. All of it. I sucked up and just cleaned it up to my hearts content. I resent such ‘slave’ work then. But as time goes by, those ‘tasks’ made me who I am today. I know the smell since I am at the shopfloor. And as such,
MORAL of the story: roll up your sleeve and get to work:)

Day 1
Music and songs play a vital part in my being. My mood is reinforced by good music. Good music meaning top notch hits in their heydays but may span the whole gamut of rock to ballads to pop to classical.
