How do you measure Success?

Unlike distant, length, height, Success is does not come with a standard measurement system. There isn't any universally known measurement unit which can tell how successful a person, project or company is doing.

I can confidently say that it is everyone dream to be successfully in life. From the time when we learn how to walk till the day we retire, success is bound to be in every corner of our lifes. But how do we actually measure success?

So I decided to conduct a small little survey with several close friends of mine.

Here is the question thrown to at my respondents, In your own opinion, How do you measure success?

Now you can buy the World. Can you afford it ?

How many times have you ever think and say to yourself I could run this country better if i was given the chance? I would like to own and run Malaysia, Australia or maybe the UK? It may seems impossible and people around you may also think that you are insane, Hitler wannabe, and maybe day dreaming.

Modern Technology and Globalisation finally made it possible for you to own any country of your choice, provided you have enough legal tender notes to burn.

Ladies and Gentleman, without further ado, I would like to present to you "THE WORLD". Yes you heard it right, THE WORLD. So what is the world? The World is the latest property development conceptualise by H.H General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown of Dubai. So what is THE WORLD? Well its a development project which rebuild the world, but in a smaller scale, a total of 300 island will be build to resemble countries and continents, and the final product will resemble the world map.

Claimed to be the world's most innovative real estate development, every single country and island will be put on sale. So if you have the tough of buying Australia and turning the whole country into a resort with Asian theme, its entirely up to you as long as you have the financial baking to do so.

The World, comes with 4 pre-planned Island Typology, namely Low Density, High Density, Resort and Commercial. It also comes with hubs and transportation service such as water taxi. now how is that for a change, traffic jam at sea.. The World also comes with complete with a high tech water, power and sewage system.

With this new development, you can travel THE WORLD in less than a day. Now that's globalisation.

Welcome to the rich man's world. Wish I could afford to buy the cheapest Island though.

So would you buy a piece of property at THE WORLD if you had the money? and which country would you like to buy ?

Being Wealthy isn't just a dream.

Wealth to many of us is merely a dream, something that is impossible to obtain. It's never easy to accumulate a substantial amount of wealth to be consider wealthy. If you have read of stories like those of Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, Tan Sri Robert Kuok, Lee Kah Shing, and other tycoon around, these great enterpreneurs did not inherit their wealth. They are fine example of rags to riches. Its through sheer hardship that they experienced in their early days which makes them what they are today. It's never easy to accumulate wealth sufficient enough to match Robert Kuok networth, or at least to lead a live of financial freedom.

Recent survey show that its not difficult to accumulate wealth but preserving it is one of the toughies act. The Chinese has always believe that wealth never last more than 3 generation. This is especially true in most Chinese family, were the first generation may have accumulated a total wealth of RM10million, divided it equally to 3 of its children. Thus each son/daughter will inherit RM3.333 million each. Assuming that each of the 3 sons/daughters have their own family and further divided the wealth inherited into 3 portion equally, thus each portion will have exactly RM1.111 million(Note that this is already the 3rd generation). If the same were to be repeated, the those in the fourth generation will inherit RM370,000 each portion. This means that the 4th generation will no longer be a millionaire when they inherit the wealth. The scenarios were made with the assumption that inflation is ZERO and each generation does not spend the wealth they inherit. Assuming that the money were to be kept at a license financial institution, either through conventional saving account or fix deposit, with a current FD rate of 3.7% per annum, while inflation is well above 3.8%, the amount of money inherit actually shrink by 0.1% per annum.

Thus the actually amount pass on to the fourth generation might be well below RM200k only. With the growing number of people joining the million dollar club and billion dollar club, the rich and famous are beginning to worry on how they could preserved their wealth and avoid shrinking of wealth for the future generation. Well unless you have a pot of gold which constantly generate wealth like Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong's casino which help generate wealth daily at a unimaginable rate, you should be cracking your head, thinking of how you could ensure that your future generation life a wealth life like you do.

Ok so its all boiled down to wealth preservation. For the rich, wealth preservation comes in many form. Money are usually put intro different investment basket to reduce risk. Properties, Bond, FD, Saving, Stocks, Mutual Fund(Unit Trust) are some of the optional investment vehicle which not only help preserved their wealth but grow it over time too. However please take note that in an investment there will be risk attached with it.The high the return the high the risk and vice versa. For the poor like you and me, we only live on our monthly wage which is bearly sufficient as the cost of living esclate faster than our wage increment. However with prudent wealth management and right mentality you one day join the elite community. I'm not taking about lottery, or gambling in the casino where you can turn into an overnight millionaire but how to make your money work harder than you, and work for you even when you are sleeping or having a game of golf with an old pal.

Kindly take note that I'm not in anyway promoting or associated with any person, product, investment tools used to illustrated my point in the article above. Please make your wise decision with your own intellectual mind and decide whats best for yourself.

Want to be a millionaire? Why not aim higher and be a multi-millionaire instead? Well stay tune as I am gonna unleash a series of write up not only for your reading pleasure but to be practice as well.

U-Turn, What a scary invention?

Have you ever been stop at a road block? Have you ever given a bribe when stop just so that you will be let off without much trouble?

Ive not done either of it since I started driving, but I would have been in big trouble if I was stop last week. Last week I went for a gathering with some of my ex-college(Mantissa) friends, namely Juliet, Tim, Colin and Soon Lee at Mc Donalds, Center Point. I was suppose to give Soon Lee and Colin a ride home after the gathering as they were both living at TTDI. Driving out of McD, the fastest way back to TTDI make a U turn right before the former Sony HQ traffic light. While driving I saw a police road block being setup on the opposite direction thus I decided not to make a U-Turn but drive to TTDI via Damansara Utama. That was on the 20th September. Today I'm glad I made to choice not to make that U-Turn. Why ? Cause while having lunch at Equatoria Kuala Lumpur yesterday, my mum reminded me to renew my driving license, which upon checking I realised that my license has expired on the 14th of September 2007.

Shit man, thinking back, I'm so glad I have not made the U-Turn or else the chances of me getting stopped and brought to the police station will be fairly high. Today, 24th, monday, I woke up early in the morning and rush to the nearest Pos Office to renew my driving license to avoid being end up with any legal actions. Guess what, the renewal for 1 year cost me RM32.
