Business and Money Tips

Every time I hear someone saying that so and so is stupid, I cannot help but wonder: if you give this person $100, will he be stupid enough to reject it?  If a person can survive until today, how can he be stupid?   As a educator, I believe that there are no stupid people in this world, there are only people that are ignorant, deluded and unsure.   Ignorant Most people are ignorant of the important facts of life (read 'The 7 Myths of Life' at here ) due to the being brainwashed by the mass media. For example, most people still expect things to remain the same when in life nothing stays constant and everything is in a state of flux at each passing moment.   Ignorance also means knowing but not knowing how to apply , and knowing how to apply but never apply due to delusion .   When people are ignorant, we an educate them, but we cannot force them to learn, for if they learn things unwillingly, they will not apply the new learning and will remain ignorant....

It pains me to see some people that are so talented and yet they did not achieve much.  In fact they have what we called 7 Fetters of Highly Effective People.  Face the fetters and take action today to remove them and you will be on a different path.  The 7 Fetters are: Having No Goals.  Alas, this is so old-fashioned but really if you have no goals, you will just be living your life on a roller coaster - many ups and downs but you end up where you begin - no improvement at all.   Having Too 'Ambitious' (Unrealistic) Goals.  This is the opposite of Having No Goals, but is more than that. These people are unrealistic, they are going for the moon when right now they can't even swim in the Pacific Ocean. Such people are not grounded, they live in dreams and often they are impractical. Having No Friends.  No man can succeed alone and friends can be a great leverage at the right time. Some people said that it is better to have a few enemies but man...

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with a pure mind Andy happiness will follow you As your shadow, unshakable. In this world Hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law, Ancient and inexhaustible. The wind cannot overturn a mountain. Temptation cannot touch the man Who is awake, strong and humble, Who masters himself and minds the law. An un-reflecting mind is a poor roof. Passion, like the rain, floods the house. But if the roof is strong, there is shelter. Give up the old ways - Passion, enmity, folly. Know the truth and find peace, Share the way. As shared by AndyTheCoach from reading the teachings of The Buddha some 2,500 years ago.

1. Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. 2. Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Just as the candle won't be shortened, one's happiness never decreases by being shared. 3. The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly. 4. Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world. 5. If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change. 6. Let us all be thankful for this day, for we have learned a great deal; if we have not learned a great deal, then at least we learned slightly; if we did not learn slightly, then at least we did not become sick; if we did become sick, then at least we did not die. So, let us all be thankful. 7. On life's jou...

Buddhism officially came to China in 67 CE. The Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Han Ming sent special envoys to India to invite Buddhist monks to come to China to preach. Since most South-East Asia Chinese came from China, to the Chinese Buddhism is almost 2,000 years old. Buddhism in that period was regarded as an Educational System and not as a religion. Indeed in many ways Buddhism is considered as an education and not religion, primarily because Buddhism is not about faith or belief, but about seeing the world in the right way . It is about questioning everything, including the teachings of Buddhism . Only when one has wisdom can one question, thus Buddhism is an education. This is the unique thing about Buddhism as compared with other faiths, religions and schools of thoughts. Not only that, Buddhism is also about the how to live the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama who ‘founded’ the religion of Buddhism in 563 BCE in North-East India that is Nepal today.
