So why do only few people ever get adored, honored, respected, reverend or loved? There must be something that makes them stand out from the crowd. After taking so long a time to observed and study successful people who earned the respect of other people, I discovered the following things that I am going to share with you below. Note however that, not everybody that is “successful” in a way earned the honor, respect, love and reverence other people. There are people who are successful in their own rights but when the pass the street, other people spit on them.  So what makes some people revered by others? Take for instance, the late Mandela of South Africa who was loved, cherished, revered, honored, respected and adored by not just South Africans but the whole world. So what really makes him different from other people? You ...

The season is here again. This is a season that goes with a lot of buying, exchange and celebrations. I am talking about Christmas. But what is this Christmas all about? Why is it so important to so many people across the globe? Why do people prepare so much for a one day event? Why do people spend so much this season? Christmas is consider by many as the birthday of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Saviour of the World! But was Jesus Christ actually born on this day? The Bible, the book of all books does not state when Jesus Christ was born. However, this day is considered or appointed as the day He was born and the celebration of his birth has been on for this long.

January 2, 2013 was a public holiday following the New Year celebration. It was a day I set aside to relax and to also put one or two things together in preparation to resume full business activities for the year.   Shortly after the morning devotion with my family, I gave an instruction that I do not want to be disturbed or receive any visitor. Immediately after my breakfast, I moved to my study room with a cup of tea and an inspirational book I received from my friend as a Christmas gift. As I was reading through the first chapter of the book, I received a text message on my phone from a friend who resigned his appointment with a bank a few months ago and traveled to London with his family in search of a job, an extract of the text message read thus: “Clem, I got to London before I realized I can become what I wanted in life right where I was without coming to London!” My heart went out for him. I was pondering over this message when I dosed off. Within a few minute...

Sir Francis Bacon once said "knowledge is power". I support his viewpoint completely. Because the pursuit of knowledge is an important ingredient for success in every endeavour in our lives.

What makes successful people different from the miserable fellows? What do the rich know that the poor people don't know? Is there really a secret that successful know that other people don't know? These are some of the questions that many people I know and some of you are still asking yourself even today. But is there really a secret that one need to know to get whatever he or she want in life? I asked myself these questions several times in the past. And as the burden of these questions began to weigh on me, I decided to do something about it by all cost. I attended seminars, workshops, church services, Jumat prayers, I read books and also seek advice from people that I considered successful. While other successful people were willing to give me little time from their schedule, others simply ignored me and consider me a pain. But when you really want something so badly, you can keep asking, seeking and knocking. No wonder, "winners never quit and quiters ...
