Not an easy way to do business

Working for someone or a company, and get paid is what most people would do. But, if you are adventurous enough to decide that you should run your own business, in reality, a crazy idea!

Most people has this impression that as long as you are doing something you are good in, running your own business is not a problem. NOT TRUE!

In fact, I have seen many who started shops selling stuffs they like, e.g. frozen yogurt, candies, toys, novelty gadgets, they don't really make money or perhaps just made enough to cover their rents. According to statistics, many entrepreneurs failed within a year of their start of businesses.  It's really not easy to run a business.

If you are really interested, you may try e-commerce by working on an online shop selling stuffs. No, it's not easy as well, you need to have a lot of patience and guts to run one. Let's hope you will be successful.

How To Get Over Shyness - The One Mistake Most Shy People Make

Do you really want to know how to overcome shyness? Are you prepared to forget everything you thought you knew about being less shy and replace it with the truth? Then read on.

The one biggest mistake I see shy people making is being controlled by their emotions. Nearly all shy people make this basic mistake.

If you avoid people who make you feel shy, then you are being controlled by your emotions.

If you avoid public speaking because it makes you feel anxious, you are being controlled by your emotions.

If you don't do something just because it makes you feel nervous or afraid, then you are being controlled by your emotions.

I hate to repeat myself, but this is an absolutely essential point. In order to get over your shyness, you have to become less controlled by your emotions. This doesn't mean to suppress your emotions, it simply means to act in spite of them. Mark Twain was the one who said "Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting in spite of it."

That is the ability you need to build if you want to overcome your shyness. You have to have the ability to act in spite of feeling a certain emotion. This means that if you feel afraid to do something, you do it anyway. Act in spite of fear.

If you raise your hand in class even though it makes you nervous, you are acting in spite of fear.

If you talk to people even though they make you feel shy, then you're no longer being controlled by your emotions.

If you talk to groups and make public presentations, then you are the one in charge now, not your fear.

Once you start acting in spite of fear, you will become more relaxed and easygoing in situations which used to make you nervous and shy. When you stop avoiding your fears, you allow your mind to desensitize to them. In psychology, this is also called habituation.

This approach is very common for therapists to use on someone with social anxiety. In cognitive-behavioral therapy, the "behavioral" part is acting in spite of fear. Of course, many shy people can't or are not able to simply "face their fears."

This is why changes to your thinking are also a necessary part of getting over shyness. That's the cognitive part of cognitive-behavioral therapy.

If you want to learn proven strategies and techniques for overcoming shyness that go far beyond "face your fears" and "what's the worst that can happen ", then click to check out howto overcome shyness.

Super Busy Month!

First, two new system implementations were approved by the Customer. Then, little that I realised that there was another two more in the RFI and design stage.

The first two implementations, one is for the migration of SharePoint system from one DC to another, virtualisation, then the new systems are to run Windows Server 2016 and SharePoint 2016. We hit an issue with one of the UAT server, a MS SQL DB VM, not sure what happened, when the Veritas Netbackup Enterprise Client's image was backing up the DB via the ESXi, it failed after running a few minutes.  The team tried to fix the issue, but to no solution. In the end, we had to reinstall the whole server.

The other implementation has something to do with Big Data Analytics, the system is to process huge TB chunks of data. Software from Microstrategy, Cloudera and Talend were used. At this time, it was still being setup. Due to the inexperience of the team, external consultants have to be brought in.

Coming soon, the other two still in the discussion stage, an upgrade of the existing system and the other is for the enhancement of the existing system as well. These new implementations would keep us busy for the next 4-6 months.

Want to make some passive income, the easy and legal way?

Yes, it's possible to make money from the Internet which I found out recently just by doing surveys!

A month ago, I found out about this interesting money making opportunity from a colleague. I tried it and really, it works! I do felt skeptical at first, more of a distrust, thinking that this can't be real. Then, I thought, I have nothing much to lose, why not try it?

So, after 1 month, I found myself making a steady stream of income, well, it may not be a lot, but good for a start. Basically, you don't have to do much, just follow through and that's it!

So, if you are really interested to make some passive, click the link below.

Challenge Yourself to a New Weight Loss Goal For the Perfect Booty!

 

Setting goals is a fantastic way to motivate yourself, especially if you are looking to get a perfectly toned ass! Of course what you’re trying to achieve is a goal in itself but setting shorter goals gives you something that you can aim for in a shorter term and that then means you get the satisfaction of feeling as though you’re making progress as you tick things off of your list.

This is why ‘gamification’ works so well as a way to motivate yourself through challenges. This means turning an objective into a game that you can score yourself on. This feedback loop provides incentive and reward and helps you to measure your improvement. You can even use pictures to see your booty change week by week and keep you motivated!

The only problem? Not many people know how to set goals. Read on then and we’ll look at how setting the right goal can be the perfect tool to help you complete those challenges.

The Hallmarks of a Good Goal How can a goal be either ‘good’ or ‘bad’?

Well, a bad goal would be something that was a) out of your control and b) too distant to be useful.

This is actually what most resolutions and weight loss goals look like. If your goal is to ‘lose 30lbs in 1 year’ then your goal is both somewhat out of your control and too distant and vague. Losing 30lbs is an ambitious goal but even if you had a smaller target, you can’t guarantee you’ll ever do it. Different people respond differently to different training and that means you could work really hard for the next two years and not see any results. Most likely you’d give up long before then after becoming disheartened. Not much use!

Instead then, try a goal like this: “I will exercise three times a week for the next 8 months”. This is a goal that is now incredibly achievable because it’s so much nearer. At the same time, it’s a very binary thing that you can either complete or not – and it’s entirely down to you whether it happens. Funnily enough The 8 Week Booty Workout is 3 times a week for 8 weeks, sounds like the perfect goal to start with!

If you focus on smaller, tightly controlled goals like this, then you’ll find that you get more of a feeling of reward and that the ‘overarching’ goals take care of themselves.

What are some other goals you could set up like this? Good examples might be to not eat X for a week, or to increase your running time by 2 minutes every training session for the next 20 sessions.

Why not try downloading The 8 Week Booty Workout and make that your starter goal for the next 8 weeks? It has all the training worked out for you and even has videos to demonstrate each exercise so it couldn’t be easier. It also has the nutritional plan you’ll need to maximise your results so, not only would you look better but you will also lose weight at the same time! Make it your goal to complete the 8 weeks of workouts and nutrition and make sure you send us your before and after pictures so we can add you to our transformations wall.What are you waiting for, download it now and be proud of yourself in just 8 weeks!

Rush and Rush and Rush

This month is about rushing, as it is coming to the end of FY for most companies, they are rushing to spend off their budgets. Big ticket items like servers, storage and appliances are the most popular, and easiest to use up the money. What is in it for us?

Yes, we make more money...for the company, but we will work like mad to get the hardware in, mount and install. Usually by this time, we would have spent many overtime and weekends trying to bring the machines up. It has always been like that, never change, sometimes you are either immune or just want to cry over it. It was too much stress.

What's up in February 2019?

It's now in the month of February, and soon, we will be in March! Two months just come and go so fast, didn't quite realized it until today, when I looked at the calendar. Nothing much has changed in the last 2 months, but somehow the stock market is ramping up a bit, so, maybe it's a good time to buy some stocks. I think CyberSecurity stocks are still good and going strong, perhaps can consider to load up some. The US-NK summit in Vietnam is coming soon, let's hope something good can come out from it.

By the way, any plan where to go for this Summer?

Happy New Year 2019!

A new year, a new start! Happy new year, everyone! Have you started on a new year resolution or plan? Getting a new job, new car, new house or even getting married? I wish that everyone, whatever you do or plan to do, all the best to you. Don't give up even if you are faced with a dire or hopeless situation, there's always hope if you try! If you going into investing in stocks, do more research before you dump that money into the market, so be careful. If you are doing ecommerce, do check on the other websites what they are selling hot, don't just plunge in with advertisements without doing in deep research. Good luck to all of you, enjoy the new year!

12 days to 2019

How times flies, really looking forward to Christmas and new year holidays. Beginning this Friday, we are starting to countdown, lots of gatherings, food and drinks! So much hard work for the past 1 year, it's time to relax and cool down. Out with the unhappiness and bad things that happened, wish for the best in the coming new year.

Happy holiday, everyone! For more than 12 years of blogging, I'm still going strong, never thought I will continue to have this persistent, all the highs and lows, colleagues and friends come and go, but that didn't stop me from writing on this blog site. All my frustrations and complaints, ha ha!

Why should I still put money in the Stock Market?

This has been asked many, many times in the last few months. With the bull still running strong, there's an optimism in people that the market will still do well in the next 1 to 2 years, as long as Mr Trump is still the POTUS. Tech Stocks' prices are going highs and lows, there's no indication that the companies behind them are not doing well. With the trade war still going on, no particular stock is a definite winner, what we know is that stock price will go high if the company's earnings surge, and drop south when it isn't doing well. As I said before, Cyber Security and software cloud companies are doing quite well, but we can't say for sure the direction their stocks will go in the next 6 months time. Let's wait and see.

Trade War Brewing

Unless you have been living in a hole or high up in the mountains, you would have heard about the US-China trade war. Not only has it affected the world trades, but it caused ripples effects in the stocks markets, worldwide. Stocks prices have gone south or what pro traders called it, bearish. More significantly, Chinese stocks listed in the US stock markets suffered millions, if not billions of losses. Stocks such as BABA, JD and IQ were hit pretty badly as well. So much so that, there were news saying the big investors were running away from them, selloff. Seems this trade war no where near the end of the tunnel, no light yet. Perhaps, if you are holding some of these stocks, and had bought it at a low, low price, you may want to continue holding on to them, or sell them. Good luck trading!

How's the Stock Market Today?

Well, if you ask me, I would think it's good. Tech Stocks are going up, while others are coming down. Apple is to announce some new handphones, most probable till it's launch, it's stock will go up, till the product release, then you know what happen. IT software and security companies are still the best bet, esp. FEYE, AKAM, ORCL, AMD, SYMC, etc. some of their business fundamentals are pretty strong, look for their product long term road maps, so if you hold them for long, likely to make more money from their stocks. Companies like KO and PEP are more suitable for short term holding, these days their stock prices tend to swing, but if you notice when they go down, it's time to buy, and when they go up again, sell. So if you want to make a quick buck, go for these two stocks. I'm continuing to hunt for more value stocks, perhaps will share them at a later time. Cya...

Take One Step at A Time

The last 2 weeks saw a huge drop in share prices for some of the notable tech companies, e.g. FB, JD, IQ. I had lost money that I had earned 2 months before that. Then, what happened next was, the stocks went up again. I made a huge mistake, that is not to invest in any stocks when the companies' earning date is near. Yes, lesson learned. I was too greedy, and in the end, I paid the price! So, how will the market be in the next 2 months? I guess tech companies stocks will still move up, be careful of eCommerce companies' stocks, they tend to be very volatile, especially their options. I will just take one step at a time, so if I'm going to buy stocks, analysis one first, if the fundamentals are good, go in and look at another one next.

Trade Wars

Heard about the trade war that the US is waging on the EU and China? It has a high impact on the stock markets all over the world, from US, Europe, China and other parts of Asia. Couple of weeks back, the US stocks plunged to so low that it strike fears in all retail investors, especially those playing with Options trades. As the Fridays near, some had to sold or buy back their Options. Strangely, a day or two later, it recovered back! If you are one who bought shares in tech companies, you might want to be keep close watch on them. Not sure what bad news will come, but do be cautious. Some other stocks you may want to consider at this time are KO, MCD, PEP, etc. I think should be safe to buy and keep. Do you due diligence please.
