''I was surfing the net and came across this exceptional episode of 60 Minutes where they spoke to people, well kids really, whose family had lost their homes to foreclosure, and unemployment benefits ran out, losing almost everything they have, ... and having to live in a truck or a car because many of the shelters are already full.
You do not need a subprime crisis to find homeless people, people whose livelihood had been so broken up by things that happen around them. If you had not tasted hardships, you may not truly appreciate the things and people you have around you.
What is most wonderful is the attitude shown by the two kids being interviewed. Brings tears to your eyes to know some had to suffer so young. However, it is exactly that kind of attitude that I am sure will bring them success - monetary, relationships and career - in the near future. If you have kids, do your kids have that kind of attitude? Or like some, they just shrivel up into a cocoon, and blame everything around them for causing the misery ...
I am not much for positive thinking therapy or those -rah-rah rallies by super salesmen to motivate us to excel and achieve. I believe if you have the right attitude, you can climb yourself out of any rut. The attitude that you alone can change your destiny, that you alone can make things better for yourself and those around you, that you alone is enough to make sense of the world again, and that you do not have to be a super human being to do all that. Just accept what life is now, and mark out where you want to be, and pinpoint how you are going to get there.
No one is going to gloss over it all, it will be long suffering at times when we are down, but no amount of self-pity will do anyone any good.
If our kids had that kind of attitude exemplified by the two kids in 60 Minutes, you can die happy knowing that they will do well in life.''

well , of course i been throught the same thing, about 10 years ago,
i understand the feeling of that hardship,
the feeling of hunger,but do not even afford to buy a bread.
and that's why i promised myself i will work very hard to prevent myself from being into that kind of situation again, and i spend really a lot of time learn and learn and learn about finance, as i believe the knowledge of finance, is the most crucial thing in today world.
as in my motto...money is not everything, but everything is money !.
hmm, talking about money,well...thanks god for giving me the chance to learn on futures trading, it's money making trading !.
but really have to do homework and have the guts to place order...
duh...1 point = RM50. of course a lot of guts is required.
in this 3 months time, i want to set a aim on my futures account, to be at least 200 points earnings. (200 X 50 = RM10000)
well currently, i earned around 32 points :)
i strongly believe that ,the risks is greatly reduced if we were really do homework on certain investment, nothing is risk free, even FDs are exposed to inflation risks.Just that these peoples are living in denials...do not believe what behind the finance system.
duh ! especially my parents, its really hard to convince them to starts investing, until they see my return,then they starts to have a look on it..but still, do not dare to touch any risk...they do not know the facts that they are facing inflation risks everyday by placing money as in FDs ==
I'm sorry,but i really have quit going to casino,sorry to my friends that keep asking me accompany bu..i really promised myself and someone that i wont go anymore.I really take it as entertainment, and this will be my last time talking about it. :P
hmm,so far so good....well..having someone to accompany you eats,walks,shopping...haha i cant deny it,but it's really awesome and i feel really good. ^^..i'm just so darn lucky to have you :)
