Shake Your Head to Success: Say No to these 5 things and You'll Achieve Massive Success

You've heard of Handshake to Success, but have you heard of "Headshake" to Success?

In this rapid world of instant connectivity, we have to say No instead of yes if we too want to be successful. There are 5 things that we must say No to:

Say No to Procrastination. Just do it now, and better still, do it yesterday. Napoleon Hill in his latest book "Outwitting the Devil" revealed that procrastination is the number one killer to success in this world. It doesn't matter that what you are not perfect, all it matters is that you start first and the rest will follow.
Say No to Follow the Market. Steve Jobs did not follow the market, he created the market. He also spoilt the market by giving customers more than what they asked for: instead of just a phone, he gave them an MP3, Video Player, Mini Computer, Camera, Video Camera and Photo Editor.
Say No to Dreaming. Dreaming is having dreams with no timeline and action plan, a dream is a dream with timeline and action plan.
Say No to 'I Know'. We know that what we know bring us to where we are right now, what we don't know will stop us from going forward. It's okay to not know, but it's not okay to say 'I know' and stop learning. In fact, once you say 'I know', your mind automatically shuts off and you will stop absorbing. In this modern world, it is not the fast fish eat the slow fish or the big fish eat the small fish, but the know eat the don't-know. The fastest way to say no to 'I Know' is to, learn, un-learn and re-learn what you already knew. You'll be pleasantly surprised that your knowledge will expand rapidly once you stop saying 'I know'.
Say No to Keeping Knowledge to Yourself. Spread knowledge is the biggest charity that you can do, for knowledge creates wealth and lift people out of poverty. Thomas Edison was poor but he became rich when he gained knowledge from people that so willingly shared to him. So spread this blog to all your friends as the more you spread, the more you learn. Remember, what goes around comes around.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
