Arthur Ashe adalah petenis kulit hitam dari Amerika yang memenangkan tiga gelar juara Grand Slam; US Open (1968), Australia Open (1970), dan Wimbledon (1975).

Pada tahun 1979 ia terkena serangan jantung yang mengharuskannya menjalani operasi bypass. Setelah dua kali operasi, bukannya sembuh ia malah harus menghadapi kenyataan pahit, terinfeksi HIV melalui transfusi darah yang ia terima.

Seorang pengemarnya menulis surat kepadanya,"Mengapa Tuhan memilihmu untuk menderita penyakit itu?"

Ashe menjawab,"Di dunia ini ada 50 juta anak yang ingin bermain tenis,

diantaranya 5 juta orang yang bisa belajar bermain tenis,

500 ribu orang belajar menjadi pemain tenis profesional,

50 ribu datang ke arena untuk bertanding,

5000 mencapai turnamen grandslam,

50 orang berhasil sampai ke Wimbeldon,

empat orang di semifinal, dua orang berlaga di final.

Dan ketika saya mengangkat trofi Wimbledon, saya tidak pernah bertanya kepada Tuhan,

"Mengapa saya?", Jadi ketika sekarang saya dalam kesakitan, tidak seharusnya juga saya bertanya kepada Tuhan,

"Mengapa saya?"

Sadar atau tidak, kerap kali kita merasa hanya pantas menerima hal-hal baik dalam hidup ini; kesuksesan, karier yang mulus, kesehatan. Ketika yang kita terima justru sebaliknya; penyakit, kesulitan, kegagalan, kita menganggap Tuhan tidak adil. Sehingga kita merasa berhak untuk menggugat Tuhan.

Tetapi tidak demikian. Ia berbeda dengan kebanyakan orang. Itulah cerminan hidup beriman; tetap teguh dalam pengharapan, ada pun bila beban hidup yang menekan berat.

Ketika menerima sesuatu yang buruk, ingatlah saat - saat ketika kita menerima yang baik...

"Winning horse doesn't know why it runs the race. It runs because of beats & pain. Life is a race, God is your rider.
So if u are in a pain, then think, God wants You to win"

Recap:

* The Wealthy Are Generous - summon a wealth of joy and
abundance into your life today by practicing a simple act of
giving.

============================================================

Repetition is the mother of mastery, which is why we'd like
to share with you the 8 Secrets to Success top motivational
gurus like Brian Tracy, Dr Wayne Dyer all agree upon, so you
too can turn your dreams into reality.

1. Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life – In a society
where people blame everything from their parents to the government
for failure, successful people are those who don't buy into this
mentality or succumb to the "victim" thinking succeed. To blame
something or somebody outside yourself is saying they have
control of your life and not you. Someone else's opinion of
you doesn't have to become your reality.

*My Success Mantra*

I am responsible for the results in my life.
I choose to live above the line.
I learn from all experiences that come my way.
I constantly get out of my comfort zone and take action towards
my dreams.
I operate with utmost integrity and add value to others.
I possess the winning attitude at all times.
I am a source of inspiration for people around me.

I am grateful because...
my life is filled with opportunities, love and abundance.

What was your experience after saying your mantra out loud?
Have you noticed anything interesting that's happened in your
life since? Do share with us. We'd love to know your feedback.

The Wealthy Are Generous.

Many people think that the reason rich people have so much money
is because they are selfish and like to keep all their money to
themselves. While this may be true in some cases, there are
actually many more individuals who are wealthy because they know
how to give. Excellent examples of extremely wealthy individuals
who generously contribute their money towards worthy causes are
Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc.

While highly successful people do state hard work, perseverance
and other well-known traits as reasons for their success, they
also know that the reason why they are able to achieve and
accumulate such an abundance of wealth and happiness in their
lives is because they are aware of a simple principle in life -
You receive what you give.

You receive what you give is such a simple and basic principal
taught in the early years of our life that

* The questions you ask yourself NOW will affect your results
in the future.

============================================================


Did you take a few minutes to examine the questions and thoughts
in your mind? How differently did you feel as you changed the
questions you choose to ask yourself? Sharing is having more,
so share with us the insights you've gained from
this simple exercise to deepen your learning.

When we first went through the exercise, it surprised us to know
that we had thoughts like 'Life is a struggle' and 'I'm not good
enough' in our head. But being aware of those disempowering
thoughts gave us the opportunity to re-think those thoughts and
choose new ideas, thoughts and questions, which we firmly believe
have contributed greatly to our success and abundance.

As a gift, we'd like to share with you a mantra we use ourselves
so that you too can use it to bring positive change into your life.


*My Success Mantra*

My friend, what do you say to yourself each time you see
that beautiful dream car? A person who chooses to remain poor
would say: "I can't afford to buy that car." The person
who chooses to find ways to create wealth would say: "What can
I do to own that car?" Unless you ask yourself the questions
that will lead you to find ways and means to make money, so that
you can afford to buy whatever you desire, your thinking process
on how to make money automatically shuts down and your dreams
will always be just out of reach.

The poor are constantly looking for better ways to spend their
money. They will invest their time looking for ways to save
money instead of using their time to look for places to invest
their money, where they can get the best returns on their
investment. Instead of always asking themselves: "How do I
save money?" the rich ask themselves: "How can I create more
money?"

Another important question the rich always ask is: "How do I
leverage?" A successful entrepreneur will look for ways to do
more with less in their business. The rich know that it is
impossible for them to be an expert at everything, so they allow
themselves to leverage on other people's resources, ideas,
contacts and expertise to reach their business and investment
goals.

Kebanyakan manusia cukup puas
hanya dengan... 

Lahir - Hidup - dan lalu meninggal.

Hingga akhirnya yang tertinggal hanya
tiga baris di batu nisannya :

Si X, lahir tanggal sekian, dan meninggal
tanggal sekian!

Inginkah anda menjalani hidup apa
adanya seperti itu?

Seperti apa anda mengukir sejarah?

After grading your leadership skills, are you feeling very happy
with your results or do you feel there is room for improvement?

First of all, we want you to know this: Do not worry if you've
given yourself a low score. When Wendy first went through this
little exercise, she thought to herself: "I don't think I'll
ever, ever, ever make it to become an entrepreneur. Never."

She told herself this: "I've never ever done this, I've never
done that. I've never build a team before, I've never been a
leader." (Especially when you use your own money, it's
different. As an employee, you can use your company's money to
hire other people. But when you are an entrepreneur using your
own resources, it's a totally different ballgame.) So Wendy

Let us ask you a question: "Are You A Leader?"

If you say yes, Congratulations! If you say no, subconsciously,
you're telling yourself you are a follower. And if you tell
yourself you are a follower, what type of results do you think
you will have? Exactly. Follower results. Are you ok with that?

By: Wendy & Jerome


What does it takes to turn small amounts of money into BIG
AMOUNTS OF MONEY? Would you like to know how? Ok. Very good.

By the way, are you one of those people who are
very good at turning big amounts of money to small amounts of
money? (It's ok. We used to be very good at that as well.)

So, we've learned that if you really want to create and grow
great amounts of wealth, you need to learn what it takes to
grow small amounts of money to big amounts of money. And the
way to do that is this:

Have you ever come across this statistic, perhaps you've read
it somewhere before?

=> Statistics show that up to 95% of businesses fail within the
first 5 years.

Does it look scary? It does! But we want you to
think deeper. Why? Why is the number so big? Where is the
failure rate so high? Do you know why the failure rate for
businesses is so high?

Have you ever desired to be a millionaire?

If your answer is yes, ask yourself this next question:
=> Would You Pay Yourself A Million Dollars For What You're
Doing Now?

If you wouldn't, then likely, becoming a millionaire will
always be a dream.

And this is the question that really woke us up as well. We
asked ourselves: "What must I learn?" and "What must I BECOME
in order for me to generate my million?"

We can tell you that whatever we're doing now, is to secure our
financial future for the rest of our lives. So it's important
that you start to plan.

It's surprising, but up to 85% of Singaporeans live paycheck
to paycheck. Meaning, this month's salary is used to pay for
last month's bills. There are some people who are fortunate to
have enough money to re-invest, but the majority of people
don't plan for their future till it's way too late.

The reason we want to share this is because we want you to
start thinking about creating your life.

Because, the fact is that if you are not the one
creating your life, someone else is creating it for you.

Before it gets too late, start to do something.

1) Decide where you want to go , what you want to do or who you
   want to be.

2) Assess where you are right now.

3) Discover what you need to do in order to get from here to
   there.

Don't just let other people tell you what to do with your
life. Create your destiny for Yourself.

You can definitely have better control over your life.


You can create your life exactly the way you want it.

In our running of our recruitment company, CareerExpress, day in
day out, we receive tons of resumes. We've also worked with
multi-national companies and government bodies and we know the
trend. The trend is this:

A shorter and shorter 'Employee Life-Cycle'.

Have you heard of product life-cycle? Are you hearing this -
the employee life-cycle for the first time?

So what is the employee life-cycle about?

For those of you who started work in the 1960s and 1970s, you
would have probably experienced a lot more opportunities as an
employee. You would have probably seen your salary increase
steadily as the economy grew. And at the same time, property
prices also grew as quickly. Is it the same case nowadays?

Do you know what is affecting economies all over the world
today?

Globalisation.

One of the effects we've seen in Singapore is that the Singapore
Government has been actively promoting entrepreneurship in the
recent years.

Do you know what is going on? Why does globalization have such a
big impact on our lives? It's Competition.

We're going to share with some things that you may not have come
across. Have you heard of the term 'Free Agent Nation'?

If you haven't, there's a book called 'Free Agent Nation' by
Daniel H. Pink, and it says that the whole world is moving
towards working for ourselves.

Let me ask you, in developed countries right now,
Are we seeing more and more companies outsourcing their
departments?
Are we seeing more companies hiring contract staff?
(Contract staff meaning that if after half, one or two years,
if I no longer need your service, I can legally say goodbye to you.)

Well, the people who are contract staff, they are

To us, business is like a sport. Business is like a what? Sport.
Why? Because you can choose to pick up and learn a sport, and once
you know the sport, it's impossible for you to not know the
sport anymore. Is that true? So it's the same
thing for business. If we can start off our first business with
