Life Saving Innovations
A friend’s email shared with us information about this great invention that saves a lot of life. It leads me to visit the website of the company who produce it. Try visit the company website and by filling a short survey, the company promise to donate one unit of either their Life-Straw or Permanet (Insecticidal Net) product to those needed in the world’s poorest countries.
Some brief introduction about the great product by the company itself:
“Half of the world’s poor suffer from waterborne disease, and nearly 6,000 people – mainly children – die from diseases contracted from unsafe drinking water every day.
LifeStraw® water purifiers have been developed as a practical way of preventing disease and saving lives, as well as achieving the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe water by the year 2015.
LifeStraw® and LifeStraw® Family are complimentary point-of-use water filters – truly unique offerings from Vestergaard Frandsen that will help people obtain safe drinking water at home and outside – paving the way to accomplishing the MDGs.”
Question About (Part of) Your Life…
I come across this questions, really serious questions that are potentially affect your financial standing for your future. If you were to think it through thoroughly, without procrastination, I believe the impact will be huge; even greater than you can imagine. Treat it seriously, do not delay it till tomorrow, it might be too late then. If you were to have bad habit of procrastination, maybe you can try to overcome it here..
1. Are you one of the 95% who are financially threatened?
2. Are you always running out of cash at month end?
3. Are you tied down with credit card debts?
4. Is your current job secured?
5. Is your business giving you a headache?
6. Are you always quarrelling because of lack of money?
7. Do you grow with your children everyday or they are cared for by someone else?
8. How often do you spend quality time with your loved ones?
9. Do you have enough savings for emergency?
10. Do you have a solid retirement plan?
11. Are you one of those 95% who are working to make the 5% rich?
12. How can you survive the global economic crisis and profit from it?
Wish that it do some help to make things better. If after all you feel that you are in good shape, I guess you are lucky enough and please don’t be hesitate to share. If not then I would suggest you to think harder on improving the situation.

Not Just Buy Longgan and Rambutan…
Do you travel along Old Klang Road? When you are near to the OUG Plaza junction, do you notice there is a pedestrian overbridge with the yellow advertisement board? Of course, I am not to promoting the yellow company. What I mean to highlight here is, just near the stair case of the overpass, is a small truck selling longan and rambutan, maybe some other local fruit. The stall keeper is an Indian old man.
This evening I passed by the truck. I did not mean to buy anything but when I saw the old man with few children around, I change my mind. I asked him how much he can make a day? He said is around RM 20, because he is renting the truck from the boss and he only earn some little commission from what he manage to sell. The more he able to sell, the more he can make. I kiddingly ask him whether can give discount if I buy longan from him. He said can but then he will be no profit to make. Of course, I don’t know whether that’s true. But the children around is real. And the weakness of the old man is true.
He even told me that after he close down the business, he need to go for another job which is security guard from 11 to 7 o’clock. Only with that he could have “enough” income for his family. I wonder, with 1K plus how he can raise his few kids? All very small, kind of primary school only.
Next time if you pass by the area around 6-9 o’clock, wish that you can just go by and buy some fruit for your family. Of course, what I want to say here is, try to be more concern and sensitive about what’s happening around you. I read an article today, what made me very worry is, Malaysian seems too ignorance about things around them. When we don’t care and don’t help people in need, who is going to care and help us when we need? Even if you are extremely SELFISH type of mentality, you have to remind yourself that “what goes around, comes around” ~one of my friend always say that.
What is Your Purpose?
It is so happen that I came across this website….
I read some of the articles, and is now continuing reading. It is pretty hard to accept that I feeling lost reading the articles, thinking what is my way out especially what is my life purpose? What is my passions? How am i going to get a break through and “Be My Best Self” and “Live My Best Life”?
I have read a lot of books, among others are self help and motivation. It is easy to know the theories but how to put it into practice? It require a lot of hard work and discipline. You can reach the level as described by anyone without first convince yourself to cultivate inside you the good habits. I have to admit that I am at the negative side of this. I always feel lazy to keep moving and therefore not much thing really got done even though I have a lot of thoughts and targets to achieve.
While thinking back, maybe what I always think is not really my passion or purpose of life. But what they are for me? I couldn’t find the answer. I really wish to, from reading the articles getting some guidance to move further and faster. I feel I am moving another small step up of changing myself because of posting this article because this is part of my commitment to myself, aka at least 1 blog a day to enrich my days and hopefully, yours.
Do you ever think for yourself? “Be Your Best Self. Live Your Best Life”.
