The other day, we were talking about the magnitude and velocity of change. That reminds me of a story I heard of some years back.
This happened to a native tribe somewhere in South America. For generations, the tribe people had been suffering from some kind of strange illness and people were dying at very young age.
A team of scientists and medical professionals were sent to check out. They soon discovered that the cause of the illness / disease was due to the infestation of particular insects living inside the walls of the clay homes. They advised the tribe people to either
a/ destroy the insects with a pesticide, or
b/ demolish the infested clay homes and rebuild, or
c/ move to a new location away from the threat of these insects.
Otherwise, they would continue to be the victim of the infestation and premature deaths.
To everybody’s surprise, the tribe people chose NOT to do anything. They would rather take the easy way out by doing nothing!
The reality is full of similar stories. We call it the “average people syndrome”. Typically, they procrastinate, defer action, and like to think that whatever problem happening around is more someone else’s. They don’t want to think too far. Change is a frightening word.
Despite all this, sometimes what these people need is a little push at the right time, and they are well and truly on their way to own back their life. It is a gratifying experience.
Live Life, Junius.

Arriving at the magic number 10 in the posts here, I think it is time to count the beans so to speak, and consolidate my thoughts in order to move on from this point.
As I find out, blogging can be quite time consuming particularly if you want to explore the nuts and bolts that come with it. One would have to weigh up what is put in and what is expected to come out of it. I set certain expectations when I decided to enter blogging. The said expectations or purposes become even stronger since the day 1. I feel a sense of mission to continue. I hope to add value.
I want to document my reasons here so that whenever I look at this post, it would be a handy reminder to keep me in focus.
Firstly, it is about making awareness on the importance of a holistic life (more on it next time). When our road map becomes clearer, life changes for the better.
Secondly, it is the notion of “owning back our life”, more so for people who think they cannot get away from being enslaved to the boss or even their own business. It is great if we can help people think even a little bit more outside the traditional box and not following a world of sheer conformity. Life can be as beautiful as you make it happen. And, on that road, there is no failure.
Thirdly, I like the internet world because of its people power, and knowledge power. Running this blog is a good learning opportunity for me. Through improving on ourselves as a person, we can improve the world around us.
Lastly but not the least, I want to experience first hand the passive income potential that is so much talked about on internet marketing.
p.s. this post was written during my flight from KL to Sydney. The picture here was a convenient pick from the window. God always surprises us with so many beautiful things, if only we have a moment to discover.
