I had an interesting experiences yesterday and today while trading the local index futures market (Bursa Malaysia Composite Index Futures*).
After the last drop, the local stock market had since recovered and was trading at higher levels. And it has been going up continuously the last one week. A few days back, as my partner and I were reading the charts, we noticed that there might be a chance of a pull back in the flow.
We started to trade the stocks more cautiously and we also started to “short” the index futures market. The futures market basically dictates the stock market. We observed that the futures market was having difficulty to rise and seemed to have
hit a resistance level; hence, we started to “short” the futures a bit more aggressively.
Towards yesterday evening, I was having my usual maximum “shorts” size in the futures and the market was sliding down. I was smiling to myself as my partner and I felt that we made the right decision in shorting the futures market.
Just then, something occurred to me. I was trading at my current contract maximum size for quite some time that I was feeling quite comfortable with it. My heart was telling me to increase the size. I told myself that it was about time to increase my
trading size.
Just as I increased my position, the market slid down further. It felt good as I was in tune with the market. As I continued to increase my position, I was now trading two times my usual size! Suddenly, I felt fear! Right at that time, the market rebounded a little and I got worried.
In my mind, I kept focusing on my goals and kept repeating to myself over and over again that I was feeling the fear because I was trying something “new”; that is, I am moving into a new territory that I had never ventured before!
Just as in Star Trek, “..to boldly go where no man has gone before”, the famous quote! Slowly, my nerves calmed down and I started to look at the market objectively. As it was close to the evening, most day-traders would want to close out their positions; as such the market was basically doing a mild rebound. Just as I thought, toward the close of the market, it plunged and closed at the lowest.
I was already feeling a bit jittery because I realized that I would have to hold the position until tomorrow morning to know whether I would make big money or not. Anything could happen. The US markets and the European markets could just suddenly
bounce up and the local market could open much higher.
This would translate as losses for my futures positions! If they went down, it would be good for my positions. These were the thoughts present in my mind. Just then my partner who had been quietly watching me said, “Nervous, my friend?” and laughed.
As I have written in my previous article, my partner is very experienced in the markets and to him the situation that we were in at that moment was pretty normal. By the way, he was holding a much bigger short contract positions than I was.
He said that he was happy that finally I took a bigger position and dared to take bigger risk. “It is about time, my friend”, he said. I smiled. As I continued to focus on my goals, and explained to myself again and again the need to take the risk in order to grow, and that it was a calculated risk, my jitters slowly faded away.
That night I slept peacefully. By this morning, I noticed that there was not much movement in the US markets. And when the local markets opened, it plunged about ten points. Then it held there for about fifteen minutes.
My partner started to close off his short positions and I followed suit. At this level, we were already making handsome profits. At the same time, I felt it in my heart to hold on for a while, but I decided not to push my luck too far! Just as we finished closing all our positions, the market just dived!
Ten minutes later it was THIRTY points lower! We shook our heads in disbelief! We could have easily made at least THREE times the profit if we had just held on to ourpositions for another 10 minutes! We were definitely frustrated!
After about twenty minutes, we found out that the plunge was due to the plunge in Shanghai Stock Exchange. Just then, I laughed to myself. My partner noticed and asked why the laugh. I said that I felt truly silly. Eyebrows raised, he waited for me to explain.
Here I was feeling frustrated that I could not make more money, where just yesterday, I was worried about losing. Nature has been kind enough to give me profits for the risk I took, so I should just be grateful for it!
My partner, who truly is a wise man and was calm throughout yesterday and today, simply said, “Absolute TRUTH, my friend! What is yours will be yours and what is not, will simply not be! We just keep doing our best and let God decide the returns for our efforts!”
I smiled and nodded!

Have Faith And You Will Be Rewarded!
I had an interesting conversation with one of my friends, Ramesh the other day. It was about an event that took place two days ago. Ramesh was working on a special project, over the last one week, designing brochures for one of my Personal Coaching participants.
Now, this participant of mine has tremendous potential and was naturally gifted in the field that he was passionate about. However, due to poor planning, irrelevant advice and lack of experience, he unwittingly got stuck doing something that he did
not like. It did not bring him much income and he was always cash strapped.
However, his resolve to have a change in life and pursue whathis heart yearned to do was very strong. He did his best to attend the workshops that I conducted, regularly; in fact, he repeatedly attended a few of the workshops. He would discuss
with me about the insights I gave in the seminar and I was very much aware that he did his best to practice Nature’s Laws, truthfully.
Based on his vibrations and the questions he asked, I could tell that he sincerely practiced Nature’s Laws! I would like to share, here, my knowledge and experiences on what an individual’s ‘vibration’ can tell about the person. My participants ask questions on various subjects during my training programs, especially questions related to goals and life, in general.
There are also some who ask questions for the sake of asking! There are some who ask questions simply to challenge my credibility! And there are those who ask questions simply to look ‘intelligent’ in front of the others in the group!
There are also some who ask questions with preconceived answers in their mind; they just want me to agree with them, and I would agree if that is the truth and of course disagree if it is false. Some ask me questions on what to do with their life, but sadly, they only listen to my suggestions and rarely take effort to practice them in their life.
When they meet me again, they would ask the same old question. I, with patience would again repeat what I said earlier, but with different examples. There were times I would not be aware of the answer for the question asked. In that case, I would truthfully admit that I did not know or I was not aware of the answer.
There are some people, though, whom I truly love to listen to their questions; to these individuals, I would happily provide suggestions and offer assistance. These people are rare; they sincerely take effort to practice Nature’s Laws, and they carry
a vibration that is ‘higher’ in nature! Their questions are different in manner, comparatively.
The reason being, these questions can only arise from those who ARE TRULY practicing Nature’s Laws. As they practice, Nature would ‘teach’ them beautiful lessons of TRUTH about life. These lessons are simply great experiences which are void of words! Only one who had threaded the path would understand.
This participant of mine I am talking about was one such person. His vibrations were growing as he practiced Nature’s Laws truthfully. The things that held him back from realizing his true potentials were proper planning, and of course finance. On
and off, my wife and I realized that he was crossing our minds rather often. We admire his resolve in practicing Nature’s Laws. As we discussed about this, my wife looked at me ‘knowingly’; I smiled and nodded and said that we would do something about it.
Then, two weeks ago, my wife arranged for an appointment for us to meet. We met. He was in tears as we offered to help him to come up with a plan and some brochures for him to set up his own business, and market his services. When I spoke of this
participant to Ramesh, he did the designs for the brochures free of charge. Eventually, we got the whole thing done in no time.
My participant was exhilarated to have the printed brochures in his hands. We went through the plans all over again, and he promised that he would do his best and update me regularly on his progress, and seek advice whenever needed. Just before
leaving, he asked me what compelled me to help him as he realized the cost of getting the business set up, marketing, design and a host of other things was quite substantial.
I smiled and said, “It is your vibrations, my friend! As you practice Nature’s Laws, you are basically being truthful. Your vibrations rise! You would naturally attract those who are on similar path. They would naturally be drawn to you and their
spiritual hearts would want to guide you, accordingly; just as my business partner, whom I did not know then, helped me when I was down and out in the beginning.
It is not I who is helping you my friend! It is just Nature doing its work. Just walk the path truthfully. What you have sown would bear fruits and you would reap the rewards of your faith in Nature!”
As he left, my thoughts were on my spiritual master who had passed on long ago, who imparted to me the intimate knowledge and experience of the workings of Nature. When I asked him why he did so, he simply answered, “Your vibrations my son. I am
bound by your love, your practice and your dedication to Nature. How, then, can I not?” I had tears in my eyes…..

Why Most People Stick To Their Bad Habbit Patterns
There are certain types of education system in the world that emphasize more on reading and gathering knowledge. Children are taught to remember facts and figures, but sadly not creative thinking. This type of education serves to develop only the memory and that is all; when the time comes to use the knowledge gained for some useful purpose, many would be lost.
Sometimes the knowledge itself can be a hindrance for the student to progress further!
For example, if the student is told that "Nothing travels faster than light!", he would just accept it blindly. He would not even entertain the idea that, "If it is true than how are we going to explore and reach the other side of this universe that spans billions of light years?".
Now, a creative mind would go further into such thoughts, and continually challenges itself to learn more and continue to improve.
However, when this idea is suggested to the memory type of student, he would just call it absurd and ridicule the student who asked the question. Although the memory student may be right at that moment, but he has unwittingly stunted himself from exploring further. This is where knowledge becomes a hindrance for a person in improving himself, and the world in general.
Creative ideas do not arise from the physical or emotional or even the intellectual body, but it comes from the spiritual body which is the source of infinite ideas!
Slowly, a child's intellectual body, emotional body and physical body are programmed with all sorts of stuff as the child grows up. Good stuff, bad stuff, fuzzy stuff, and so on. The child who is a grown up now views the world with a totally different perception than it actually is.
When a child is born, it is like a white florescent light. But, as time goes on, it is wrapped in different colored plastic wrappers. Eventually when it is covered with many of these colored wrappers, the light won’t shine forth anymore.
It would now be enveloped in darkness also known as ignorance. This is where the person losses touch with his spirit. Thus, the will power diminish, the person becomes directionless and starts flowing with the rest of the crowd.
People refuse to change for the better because they are simply ignorant of the fact that they are connected to this awesome and infinite power called the spiritual body! They are simply not aware! They may have read about it or have been told of it, but they have no inkling at all of what it is because most people have corrupted physical, emotional and intellectual bodies that cloud the spiritual body.
In the physical body, they subject it to abuse; for example no proper diet, excessive drinking (alcohol), smoking and so on. In the emotional body, feelings like sadness, sorrow, disappointment, jealousy, anger, will conquer it. In the intellectual body, the false assumption of already possessing all the knowledge will be there, and the thought of knowing better than everybody else further cloud the spiritual body.
If a person have been living his habit patterns for 20, 30 or 40 years; to expect a motivation training program to turn them around in a day or two is almost impossible.
Why I say "almost" impossible is because I have seen a few people who changed immediately and the changes lasted. However, most would go back to their old ways in a very short time!

Whatever The Mind Can Conceive And Believe, It Can Achieve
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve!”, said Napolean Hill, whom is considered by many as the father of motivation and awareness in America in the 1900s. The above powerful caption is embedded firmly in my heart; I strongly believe in the caption as I have experienced it many times over throughout my life.
Yesterday, the above statement came to my mind again. It all started with a particular personal coaching session on 25th February 2007, then the first gathering of the above talented group on 27th February 2007, and a rehearsal on the 5th March 2007. Amazing, isn’t it? In just two weeks, they managed to organize, work together and conduct this fairly complicated preview. Kudos to you guys! I am truly proud of all of you!
Prior to this, there were doubts among the team members; whether anyone would attend the preview, whether they were prepared to handle a large group, whether their power point presentation would be ready, whether the attending crowd would be impressed by their presentation, and so on.
As I listened to their concerns, I smiled as it brought back memories of me, back in the days when I first started conducting my seminars. I remember having sleepless nights before any important presentation; the constant worries whether I had prepared accordingly, whether my audience would like my presentation, etc.
One of the team members asked, “How do you manage to look so confident that we will be able to pull it off?”. I answered, “…just like a farmer who has planted the seeds, and then watch them grow into trees producing fruits”. He blinked, expecting an explanation. I said that any farmer worth his salt knows that preparations prior to planting the seed, planting the seed and taking care of it during its growth in the early stages are the most important stages in the growth of the plant. What is meant by taking care here is weeding, fertilizing and of course watering.
Similarly, most of the team members have gone through a long process of preparation; learning and applying Nature’s Laws truthfully, setting goals (planting seed) and now slowly heading towards achieving the goals. They constantly focus on the goals, always check and correct their negative thoughts (for example doubts) into positive thoughts and associate themselves with positive-minded people. This is likened to clearing the weeds in the ground where the seed is growing, and then fertilizing, followed by watering.
As such, since I know that each one of the team members has been rehearsing, of course I am confident that they will be able to carry it through. He nodded gesturing that he understood.
Just as I had anticipated, the whole presentation went well. However, the team had other problems to worry about on that day, the ‘pleasant’ kind that one would not mind having! Due to the unexpected large crowd, they needed more chairs and they were also short handed when they were bombarded with too many enquiries from the crowd.
Later, I reminded the team not to get too excited as they have just begun and they have yet to achieve their goals. The presentation was just their first step towards achieving greater goals in their lives.
Always remember Napolean Hill’s powerful caption, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve!”.

Learn To Listen To Nature
When the markets opened this morning, I observed that the stocks that I had studied and planned to buy, opened very much higher than their closing prices. Since I could not do much with the stocks, I thought I would just trade the futures which were much more volatile.
Just as I was thinking so, my fellow trader cum friend looked at me and told me to forget what was on my mind; as if he could read my mind! I asked him what he meant, and he laughed saying that the futures screen was malfunctioning and the prices were delayed for half an hour.
I asked him how he knew what was on my mind, and he said that it was the same thought he had when he came in the morning. Although madly frustrated, we both still had our laugh. Not being able to do much, I sat on my chair feeling a little down to have missed a great chance of making huge profits in the volatile market.
Then it struck me, “What Is Nature Trying To Tell Me?” I am in a situation where virtually there was nothing I can do with regards to trading even though the opportunities were phenomenal. What was it that I was missing?
Nature, through its marvelous laws, guides individuals towards achieving the goals they set for themselves, and eventually to fulfilling the very reason they are here on this planet.
Unfortunately, our inability to understand its infinite wisdom causes us to go through the various emotions ranging from negative, that is disappointment, frustration, anger etc, and to a certain extent overly positive emotions.
As I was thinking of the above, I left the office and headed home. My fellow traders tried the best to convince me to stay and trade, even though they themselves were not sure what to do! However, I made up my mind to listen to Nature, and figure out what it was telling me by shutting the doors of trading momentarily on me. On the way home, it struck me!
Recently, my good friend and long time participant of my training program Steven Fu, launched my first e-book (together with a recording of one of my seminars and also an audio-book of the same) to be marketed internationally.
This way, I would be able to reach out to more people and it would cost far less for anyone to acquire the book. My intention here is to share with people the practical workings of Nature’s Laws on a day-to-day aspect, rather than just concentrating on the philosophical aspect.
However, my home country, Malaysia, is not in the third party merchant’s list of countries allowed to buy the e-book from. Please don’t ask me why, but these are the rules set by the payment gateway services we are using. Thus, my participants and non-participants who seriously want to purchase the product do not have an opportunity to do so! I never gave it much thought until now.
Just as I was thinking of this intensely, Madam Gomathi of Mutiara Power Packed Training Programs, called me. Her company markets and organizes training programs and seminars that I conduct in Malaysia. She also handles the marketing of my books in the country. She said that we should come up with the same e-book concept for Malaysia!
So, she started to search for a local payment gateway that will be able to accommodate my local market. Some were simply too expensive and the others did not have additional services that we needed.
Finally, after securing one, she got together with our web page designers and started working on it. We are now looking into the legal aspects of doing the internet based sales, locally. I will keep you guys updated on it.
Although I was very busy with the above project, I was frequently updated by my futures broker and fellow traders on the condition of the financial markets. It turned out that the market movements were so volatile that most traders encountered more losses than gains.
I am not really a brilliant trader, just average. My personal opinion after looking at the recent charts, the chances are I would have lost more if I had been in the game in the last few days!
I am just glad that I listened to NATURE…..

Begin Your Day On The Right Foot
I cannot stress enough the importance of starting your day on the right thought. Why? Because that very first thought would determine how the rest of your day is going to be.
Imagine waking up with a thought like "oh no…I don't have money to pay for the bills", or "my boss is going to pick on me again today"....what you are doing is sending out negative thought vibrations that in turn, attracts the same; The Law Of Vibration And Attraction is at work here, and you can be sure the negative vibrations will come storming back at you like clock work.
On the other hand, if you choose to begin your first thoughts of the day with positive and healthy once you can be sure to be filled with the same.
Now from the above example, instead of saying "oh no…I don't have money to pay for the bills", or "my boss is going to pick on me again today", you can say "how can I pay the bills, what can I do" and "I am going to have a jolly time today at work and everybody is happy and healthy".
Do it with a positive feeling as if you are actually going through that.
It's best to begin the day with a thought of gratitude, it could be something simple, for example, I always begin my day by saying; "Thank you nature for giving me another day to experience life, thank you for all the blessing you have given me and for all the blessings I am now receiving".
And by beginning the day, I mean the first thing when you open your eyes.
Most importantly express your gratitude with true feelings, not mumbling the words just for the sake of saying them, no…no...it doesn't work like that. You must feel it at every atom of your body until you get 'Goosebumps' all over. I often get tears well my eyes when I do it. Tears of joy or tears of gratitude you may say.
End your day by also expressing gratitude, gratitude to those who had shared their experiences with you that day, whether it's a good experience or bad one. Thank every one of them, because you are the cause of every effect you are getting or have gotten (The Law Of Cause And Effect) and ask yourself what have you learnt from them.
Try it, practice it and over time you'll see changes in your life, I guarantee it. What have you got to lose?
To Your Success.
