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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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. 
  3. Say No to Dreaming. Dreaming is having dreams with no timeline and action plan, a dream is a dream with timeline and action plan. 
  4. 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'.  
  5. 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.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
