First 3 Scrolls from Ancient Syria

The first 3 scrolls from "The Greatest Salesman in the World" book by Og Mandino
Scroll Number 1: Today I Shall Begin a New Life
  1. Failure is man’s inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be
  2. The difference between those who fail and those who succeed lies in their habits
  3. I shall form good habits and become their slave
  4. An act becomes easy through constant repetition
Scroll number 2: I will Greet this day with Love in my heart
  1. I will remain no more a peddler in the marketplace
  2. My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains they may suspect; yet my love will melt all hearts
  3. Love is my weapon to open the hearts of men, love is also my shield
  4. When I confront each whom I meet, I address him and say in silence and to myself, “I love you”
  5. Most of all, I will love myself and love all mankind
  6. With love I will increase my sales a hundredfold and become a great salesman
Scroll number 3: I will persist until I succeed
  1. I am a Lion and I refuse to talk, walk or sleep with the sheep
  2. Always I will take another step. Because the prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not the beginning
  3. I will remove from my vocal such words as quit, cannot, impossible, unworkable, hopeless and failure
  4. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head
  5. Each failure to sell will increase my chance for success at the next attempt
  6. Each obstacle I will consider as a mere detour to my goal and a challenge to my profession
  7. I will persist. I will win

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...
