The Journey of Soul~

this is undeniably one of the best video i'd seen to advice on life.

it doesn't matter you don't know what you should do with your life.

you'll be there far too soon before you even know you are at the end.

do something crazy or even stupid or those that scares yourself everyday to remind yourself you're alive.

no guilt, no regrets.

stretch. dance. sing. express.

balance.

Logical

You are a rare kind. You are the type to take ideas and turn them into something productive. You are intelligent and able to take your thoughts and turn them into success. Your personality type allows you to think ahead, fast, which in turn allows you to stay one step ahead of your peers. The ideal thing for your personality type is to be self employed,an inventor, or something in the computer field. You have the ability to stand on your own two feet and build something successful. You work really well on your own.

another cool site i happen to cross is cooler~

check out what the The Power of Intention, by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer laid out interestingly.

"Dr. Dyer suggests that there is only one thing you can do with your life, “since you came into this life with nothing and you’ll leave with nothing.: You can give it away.” When we serve–when we give away to others, to the planet, and to Source–in a way that is authentically detached from outcomes, we feel “on purpose.”

As Dr. Dyer says, “Your purpose is not as much about what you do as it is about how you feel.” Extending kindness beyond our own boundaries connects us to our Source. When we do this, it makes us feel happy and content, a signal to us that we are doing the right thing."

answers come to you when you seek them.

Teacher.. Consultant? somebody significant??? or just live a subsistence life? or just do what i feel good doing and enjoy life in a balanced manner?

dad says i'm not ambitious anymore..

a somewhat high profiled executive teased me for not knowing exactly my field well before research into..

a concerned senior executive believes academic is still academic and no matter how much you pursued in it, it might not serve the real purpose..


let me tell you what i care about.

i care about building real leaders who are passionate and energetic in pursuing what they believe in despite the odds. i care about giving raw talents some pointers, courage, relentless supports and faith in the steps to be taken to live what they dream of in the lonely nights when they doubt their own abilities to make a difference despite holding firmly to that belief so vivid in their minds.

life is not about working to conform. life is not about surviving just to please and blend in! we all have something very unique to our genetic composition, gifts of talents, experiences both real and unreal to the world out there that is waiting for the right time to express its provoking thoughts or findings! you don't need to live 40 years to be in the higher ranks just to prove that you are now senior and you can lead the rest! that's not necessary! we are all talented in something, but we dare not take the risk to counter the odds and say firmly to those who doubt our abilities and speak right in their face I CAN BUILD MY VERY OWN PATH AND JOURNEY DIFFERENT FROM THE REST!

sometimes we have a dream, a dream larger than our own life. and the burning desire to see it happen.. and yet we don't know where to start and where to get the support we need to make it real.. be it fear of rejection or the sarcasm we are bound to in a world of hypocrites. yet we continue building hopes and living in our vivid dreams that tells a more idealistic world than the one we live in, all because our subconscious minds tell us that is more believable and desirable. be it living in denial and with little vitality or self-deception, we live with half or less vitality we should be..

there's so much the world needs to explore that is still nowhere in progress because we failed to tap into the resources of those that we find different from us. failing to acknowledge the combined resources from clash of few different worlds of minds. failing to embrace provoking findings that might deny our fundamental principles or beliefs for years we've lived.

gosh mental breakdown. too many interruptions amidst the thinking process.. we shall continue this another time. blesses and stay true to your beliefs and dreams. we need dreamers to make the world a better place to live in. ^^


i'm a nobody. i just want to be a genuine teacher.

Legal Avenues for Sports Clubs to Financially Prospher

Credits to an inspiring concern by a senior executive in the manner of a challenge, my mind now has a task he wishes to attend to.

Gone were the days of glory to the All Sports Theme Family Getaway Vacation Clubs which were at high demands when people would fight for the membership just to get associated and affiliated. Well not to ignore the fact that there were those who joined the clubs for the pure interest of sports hobbies. What about the rest? They joined for curiosity and with a quest in mind, "what's in it for me?"

So, was it purely a trend during those days that they captured the market? What were the catch that once sprung up the industry and got so many players into the industry and now witnessing little to no progress to perhaps even dying of gradually?

Well i'm definitely not expert in this but i would hope to channel some thoughts if it gets people thinking. It's fun doing this.

Scenario number one, there are too many substitutes and competition in the current market.

What do sports clubs offer? They usually brand themselves amongst the best family getaways.

What other services offer similar experiences?

Almost all entertainment and service industries offer similar packages. Be it cinemas, dining restaurants, shopping complexes, vacation clubs, spas and reflexology or massages or healing therapies, cyber cafes, cafes or the all-free parks, occasional events of all sorts, even housing estates, etc.

So what makes the All Sports Theme Clubs outrank the rest?

What is your niche?

What makes people choose you over the rest of their alternatives?

Would a makeover of your strategy from (eg: "The Best Family Getaway") be better off if you were to reposition your services in niche terms such as (eg: "For the Sports Enthusiasts", "where fitness lifestyle is never compromised", "The Real Outdoors", "Sports Come First", "Family Moments in Action", etc)?

Well let's not drill into challenging the Founder's belief, stick with the Best Family Getaway and instead focus on bringing the real bucks in. How do my All Theme Sports Club or Family Vacation Club earn more money in a legalized manner? Be it long term and also short term!

Are we working on it together now?

Tell me what's in your mind now.

Which are the Clubs you know of that appear successful?

How do you define their success? Is it financially they are sound and progressing better steadily? Is it the ever active presence of its members? Is it the high density of user members? Is it the high demand for association or affiliation? Is it the club's reputation and popularity in the public? Is it the happening events they often have? Or is it as simple as how you feel about the worth of your investment in it as a member? Has your membership investment appreciated way beyond the competition?

Another question of importance here is, what do most other successful clubs do that ensure they prosper both in the short and longer terms?

Well they definitely market themselves well. They know what they are famous for and they stick to their fundamentals consistently and yet not forgetting their minor interests.

Who are your most prominent members? Who gets you the most per visit revenues might be important but so as critical it is in knowing who are your potential prospect-gainers! Don't forget that affiliations and associations are your best assets. If you are operating a Golf and Country Resort, you are definitely leveraging your reputation of affiliation with the big names in the corporate world but what if you have no golf courses? Can you then not use similar philosophy and bring in some potential players to get free training at your clubhouses just to draw in more crowds and enthusiasts? Well i do believe that it is more financially and spiritually rewarding to recruit newbies with unidentified talent to develop and then employ as ambassadors for your clubs. Be it big names or small as long as these are passionate sport enthusiasts who would go all out to draw more players and members who appreciate the games on their own intentions! That's when you leverage on your talent investments. Be reminded of the mushrooming of Multi Level Marketing and Direct Sales Concept. These people have the networks, the luxury of time, the capacity to influence and market through word of mouth etc. I won't detail the specifics but i do believe something could be worked out.

Where are we now?

Of course all clubs sponsor talented sport players. And yea they do try to organize as many family events as possible to get their members active and bring together their close affiliates and friends hopefully to recruit more members and prosper not just for their own financial goals but for their original founding belief of a better family getaway.

But why is it not working in the best intentions?

Well are people tired of sporting activities and entertaining another new friend or affiliated already?

Well there are so many condominiums, service apartments and resort theme housing estates nowadays that offer similar alternatives and gives the flexibility of minimal to no dress codes, the comfort of not having to drive out and schedule ahead, cozy homey feeling, and little strangers.

The question is, how can a Family Club become the best or perfect family getaway if it doesn't feel like comfy home or?

And if not, if it focuses on getting active and ever increasing membership or walk-in revenues for use or rental of its facilities, how does it communicate its facilities to the right audiences?

Does it offer its packages to the ever active students or young adults who goes after fitness or alternative lifestyles or device an efficient and effective means of marketing its occasional events to the right audience at minimal effort? The brand positioning and ambassadors work.

You might want to consider sponsoring some active student ambassadors to hold their events in your clubs and propose or sponsor them events to be held in your facilities and then hold a facilities tour for the public who could be prospects.

Aimless..

walk on the side of the roads..

kicking the rocks as he pass by them..

hands in his pockets..

fully dressed in formal..

smart..

passerbys would take a peek and look elsewhere the second he look back.

why does he look so aimless?

what is bothering him?

waited for the shuttle bus for almost quarter of an hour..

you can tell he must be..

he's observing the moving crowds in groups every now and then..

then eyes closed, into his own moments with his other world in ipod..

then his cellphone pretty sure he's watching the hours..

impatient and yet laid back the next second..

fed up he stood up and walked off..

he stopped.

the bus is here.

he walked back.. the bus stopped.. everybody walked up..

he paused awhile observing..

then he walked off..

and the sky started to drizzle..





it's the moment..

just do it..

with his ipod..

his reliable pair of walking legs..

he seemed to have found something..

what is it?

he just got to walk on..

subconscious wills..

the moments..

the shallow heartbeats..

the infrequent blinks of the eyes..

the rolling of his eye balls without a finite focus point..

the drowsy pulse rates..

the blur thoughts..

the sleepy brains..

the beauty of not knowing..

listening to the crowds..

the noises which marks the beginning of the sunny day..

everybody's talking..

but he doesn't want to listen..

what for..

unconsciously he is picking up points and rearranging his thoughts..

everybody has something to say..

everybody plays a different role at every different event or occasions..

it doesn't click..

everybody lives at least a dual life..

everybody brings at least an invisible mask outdoor..

everybody has his or her dirty little secret and a closet full of self-hallucinations or lies..

he says one thing he lives another..

he disguises others to believe he is living in the moment..

but what is that everything he owns?

what is that everything he had and experienced?

the brain's drowning into his ocean floor..

he needs a never-seen-before scene to inspire his drive for more..

it should be a weekend in bed..

and a laptop at the wee hours of the night..

to revisit the paths of the dreams..

the clash of events from both real and unreal worlds..

where is the path taking him?

it doesn't matter..

just move on..

pop he jumps into the pool of water in his mind..

what's next..

what's lying in the subconscious mind that wants so badly to be awaken..

The Deep Blue Ocean

i was a happy fish swimming with a band of fellow fish in the deep blue ocean, through the corals, weeds and stones.

until once when i was accidentally left behind.

i never moved an inch of the site i was left behind.

i strongly held on to my belief that they will come back to find me.

only to know that they never came back..

and eventually popping into a big white shark.

a big white shark who ended up not tearing me apart but offering me to hop up for a ride.

eversince which i believed in big white sharks that don’t bite.

and fellow fishes that can easily replace you with any other..

from then on, i believe in picking up lonely people on the streets and injecting life into their lives and ignoring those coming in bunches.

perhaps one day i will find one of you who knew how this felt like and have us both mutually find each other attractive and trustworthy of keeping and holding on to.

perhaps faith will bring us together..

i will wait for you..

and continue to believe in big white sharks that don’t bite.

Legend vs 1-cent Life

the late Micheal Jackson might have mysteriously passed away..

but he had lived a legend.

what about you or me?

had we lived our calling to our full potential?

it might not require the magnitude Jackson lived, as a global idol.

but at least can you define yourself in terms of the value you provide to humanity in simple terms?

Micheal Jackson entertained and inspired millions of lives by engaging in a celebrity entertainer/ icon career.

it all comes back to the ages-old question..

who am i or you and what are we destined to do?
