George is one of the oldest people I come to know in the network marketing business. He is at least 85 this year, though he looks like in his late sixties. He is always neat and presentable, wearing a tie and a jacket in most circumstances. He is well groomed. His grey hair adds a degree of charisma to his gentleness. He is confident, and never lacks a smile. He is sincere and friendly. Everyone coming across him would agree that he is full of life. He is energetic and happy.
He is never shy to share his story. He openly admits that he is very fortunate to have run into the network marketing (or MLM) business some seven years ago. The passive income is good but to him, what counts the most is the personal development side of the business. Like most of us, he said, he has never come to know so many good books, tapes, and other materials on health, wealth, life, abundance mindset, and success principles, etc. He has definitely reached a higher level of enlightenment.
The learning puts a focus back on one’s own self. The value lies in “making your life better by making other’s life better”. We learn that virtually everything can be possible, only if we dare to dream and make things happen. We learn to see a glass as half full instead of half empty. A lot of these things, unfortunately, are not taught in schools.
In a changing world, the degree of success depends on the speed we learn.
What has motivated George so much is the new found belief that he sees a greater value in himself. He knows that he can enhance his value by investing more between his two ears, and be able to add better value to others.
Learning completes life. If such knowledge can be so meaningful even to an 85-year-old,
what greater benefits would it draw to the younger age groups?
Live Life, Junius.

I had the privilege of listening to a speech by Arthur Yap of Penang over the weekend and since then the word Change has been ringing over my mind. “Change! Change! Change! Change, la….”, he said. Now this seed of Change is growing inside my head, thanks to Arthur. By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed his speech, his passion and humour, though sometimes I don’t understand the parts in Bahasa Malaysia.
Change is a powerful word, no question about it. For decades, the word “Think” has been dominating the business world, to the credit of IBM’s successful branding, which is equally empowering. However, if I have to choose one now, I would prefer Change because it implies action.
I don’t know if you would agree with me on this one. Sometimes, we’re sort of getting to a state where we feel comfortable and lose the impetus to run the extra miles. At this stage, things generally come to a plateau, not going down but not going up either. The mind might be on holiday. And, suddenly we find something which we can focus and take on new heights. I think this time I have found it.
It is not just Change. It is Change, Change, Change, Change, Change, la…..
It is interesting how the mindset can so easily be tuned (if you want it to) and start to show in the ways you do things. Because of the word, I have in so many times, deliberately chosen to do things differently and the feeling is nice. I know that I am the reason for what I become.
If you are in the kind of plateau I describe, or the mind about to finish its holiday, why not try this word. Say it so many times to yourself, say it out loudly, in front of the mirror or what, and see if it works.
