Li Ka-Shing Teaches you how to survive

http://mirror.e27.co/li-ka-shing-teaches-buy-car-house-5-years/

1.) No matter how much you earn, always remember to divide it into five parts proportionately - living expenses, socializing, education, holiday and investment. Suppose your monthly income is only RMB 2,000, you can live well. I can help you put money into five sets of funds. The first $600, second $400, third $300, fourth $200, fifth $500.

2.) Being able to smile when being slightly misunderstood is good upbringing. When you’re wronged and you smile with calmness, it is generosity. When you’re being taken advantage of and you can smile, you’re being open-minded. When you are helpless and you can do a philosophical smile, you’re in a calm state. When you’re in distress and you can laugh out loud, you’re being generous. When you’re looked down and you can calmly smile, you’re being confident. When you’re being jilted in relationships and you can smile it off, you’re being suave.

Plant vs Zombies - Pogo Party

This mini game from plant vs zombies is pretty challenging due to two reasons:

  1. Not enough time to gather enough sunlight to plant powerful weapon. The only cheaper options are either cabbage-pult(cabbage shooter) or kernel-pult(corn shooter).
  2. Magnet-shroom must be planted early to deal with properly.

The solution I found to be effective is to plan Magnet-shroom early (in the front) in a straight line in the middle so that vaulting zombies can be knocked off its pogo stick early so that cabbage shooter can attack it earlier and more effective.

Appropriate usage of pumpkin and cherry bomb is also useful.

Bad Investment Choice, IQ Can Be Trained Up!!

Refer to 'Billionaire willing to pay RM100K for young, high IQ and fair ovum donor'

You can train up good IQ, no need to look for it. But it will require time, just like building up your muscle.

IQ is just a state of mind, it is how you think and react.

High EQ people are passionate people, because their thinking are based on feelings.

High IQ people are the opposite.

One way to train up your IQ is to play computer strategy games.

Why ?

Because it will put you into training ground for the following scenario.
  • Forces one to solve a specific problem within a short period of time.
  • Forces one to solve a problem before you get up.
  • Forces one to think about strategies and solutions to problems on the spot.
  • Forces one to think within the scope of the problem.
  • Trains one to stay focus.
  • Trains one to be more patience.
  • Trains one to not to give up until you find a solution
  • Trains one to be innovative (in certain ways).
  • Trains one to think about best practices.
It is just like going to the gym.

Author/physician Shigeaki Hinohara On Longer Life

His diets:

For breakfast I drink coffee, a glass of milk and some orange juice with a tablespoon of olive oil in it. Olive oil is great for the arteries and keeps my skin healthy. Lunch is milk and a few cookies, or nothing when I am too busy to eat. I never get hungry because I focus on my work. Dinner is veggies, a bit of fish and rice, and, twice a week, 100 grams of lean meat.

His Schedules:

My schedule book is already full until 2014, with lectures and my usual hospital work. In 2016 I'll have some fun, though: I plan to attend the Tokyo Olympics!

On Materialistic:

Remember: You don't know when your number is up, and you can't take it with you to the next place.

His Advises:
  • There is no need to ever retire, but if one must, it should be a lot later than 65.
  • Share what you know.
  • To stay healthy, always take the stairs and carry your own stuff.
  • Science alone can't cure or help people

Plant vs Zombies : Survival: Endless (Hard) Tips:

  • Snorkel zombies - Use walnut on lily pad.
  • Digger zombies - can't pass through potatoe mines. Use pumpkin to protect all plants in case digger zombies managed to pass through the front defense.
  • Zomboni is effectively dealt with using spikeweed.
  • Gargantuar is most effectively dealt with using freezing techniques; freezing melon or freeze shroom(use multiple to freeze them so that shooting pea at the left side can shoot them while they are immobilized). Secondly effective using spikeweed (which will slow them down while they are trying to demolish the spikeweed).


The maximum number of flags I have achieved is 22 flags.

NKF - The Hidden Dangers of Salt

Many Malaysian adults, particularly with a family history of hypertension coupled with job stress have been diagnosed with hypertension. Having high blood pressure increases the risk of heart and blood vessel disease or what is called cardiovascular risk. Hypertension is also one of the major causes of chronic kidney disease.


If diagnosed with hypertension, managing your blood pressure by maintaining a healthy body weight and making good food and lifestyle choices in addition to medication, is critical to preventing the complications of hypertension. The major lifestyle change that a hypertensive should make is to restrict salt in the diet.

Plant vs Zombies: Survival: Roof (Hard) Tips:

Refer to Plant vs Zombies: Survival: Fog (Hard) Tips

1. To fight with zomboni, winter melon is not good enough. Need to use pea shooter with fire. Place it at the right side (where the roof is flat).

2. Do not use kernel pult (not much point). Use cabbage pult at first, later change all to winter melon.

3. Place cactus at the right side of the roof (where the root is flat), otherwise, it can't shoot properly. And also you need to plant one cactus per lane in order to shoot down balloon zombies properly. Thus, it would be a better idea to use blover altogether (more effective).

Plant vs Zombies: Survival: Fog (Hard) Tips

  • The challenge is not enough energy (can't have double sun flower).
  • Have to use garlic (when one lane is weaken) and ice-shroom (very effective as last resort when your front line of defense is weaken and also effective to deal with large invasions).
  • Biggest threat is catapult zombies. Have to use 'umbrella leaf'. Plant two of it near to the edge and to the pool.
  • Have to use pumpkin to protect all plants, including the energy shroom.
  • Another threat is the 'digger zombie'.To deal with this,plant 4 magnets at the land lanes (one on each lane). Without the digger, it cannot penetrate the ground. Once the digger has been absorbed by the magnet, it will be forced out of the ground.
  • Plant two cattails at the edge of the pool (left side) to deal with balloon zombies, zombies thrown into the edge and also as backup for other lanes)
  • Use a combination of corn and repeater on a single lane. The corn is able to slow down zombies when butter is thrown, this will be your advantage.
  • The most effective way of dealing with Gargantuar is using ice-shroom and corn (which throws out butter) to slow it down while the shooting pea (with fire) shoots it from behind.
  • Plant two lanterns near the right side of the pool to clear the fog.

Just Bought A Brand New MW829BK

I wanted to a shoe which is 2+1 or 3+1, means it can be suitable for the following:

1.) Walking

2.) Casual

3.) Semi formal

In other words, I am looking for something which is almost all-in-one and lasting.

My experience told me that having good shoes is important, especially if you need to walk a lot, it can save your energy (do not get unnecessary fatigues) and make you walk faster (with the same amount of load).

And to be able to work with semi formal, I need it to be in all black color.

Thus, instead of getting a real leather shoe, I thought why not get something from the sports manufacturer ?

I have shortlisted a few from the Internet, but seems like online browsing does not blend well with real touch.


Eventually, I settled for New Balance MW829BK. The original price is RM 339.00 with 30%, I got it with RM 240++

I went to the shop at The Gardens (3rd Floor).

Trust me, it is a good deal. A good way to save money.

Now with this new shoe, I have no worries if I need to walk day long with pubic transport, or jump into my car for some business events.

Plant vs Zombies - Survival - Pool (Hard)

Tips:

The biggest challenge is at the pool's lanes with threats coming from Dolphin Rider Zombie which will jump into the water and emerge at the second plant out of water. If you do not manage this properly, you will end up losing the pool's defense.

To do this properly, make use of pumpkin to protect the plant.


Another tips is to try to make use of double headed sunflower to give you double energy and save spaces.

The third tips is to always put a shooting plant at the last plant at the edge of the house. This is so that the last defense will always be something that is shooting the zombie in case of those jumping zombies or those which can dig the floor and penetrate your front line of defense.

When you are sick and tired and fed-up and stressed-up #2

Previously, we have seen that When you are sick and tired and fed-up and stressed-up.. , the solution is not to continue with your work and go on to learn new things.

But what about if you have to keep going for the day, you can't stop doing your work,you can't take leave, what should you do ?

The solution is to think about living each day as your last day, then you will get some form of rejuvenation.

You will start to appreciate existing moment.

Doing Business, Need Help ?

The keyword is 'Having Controls'

The best thing about having your own business or being entrepreneur is that you have control of everything.

Ultimately, the goal is to make more money. (This is something that I've always forgotten)

Thus, you must not react according to your feelings. (This is something that I've always forgotten)

You can earn any money any time the next minute onwards.

It is the license to make money, you must remember this. If you are under employment, you do not have the license.

The idea is to have the ability to survive on a very thin basis (just enough) and then once you can do that, proceed to make money further. If you can't do that, do not proceed.

Do not based on feelings.

You can count on luck, because that is what going to make you stand out from others.

Have to always think whether it is worth it before making any decisions.

When you are sick and tired and fed-up and stressed-up..

Do not continue with work, learn new things.

If you are in IT, you will find that it is a blessing, because there are so many new things to learn.

If you already know MSSQL 2005, check out MySQL.

If you already know JOOMLA, check out Drupal.

If you already know VB.NET, check out C++

If you already know C++, check out Java.

The list goes on.

Oh, by the way, remember to write down notes.

You will get back into momentum.

Think About What is Really Worth It

This is not about falling in love and romance.

I started off by graduating from APIIT (2002). I worked hard for my thesis project (a simulation software for taxi hunting). I am proud of it till now.

I had never thought that I will study anything related to computer because truth is, when I was younger, I really hate computers.

Ironically, I got lost (along my teenage life and messed things up) and ended up in APIIT.

I rebuilt my life in APIIT and enrolled into DF9907 and volunteered as class representative.

First year was really challenging and fun. I hadn't done any computer programming in my life and wasn't sure if I can do anything about it.

The first programming exposure was creating algorithm for Fibonaci series. I got stuck initially but I tried. Eventually, I got light about computer programming.

I started to enjoy it and spent most of first year in APIIT doing computer programming especially in the Unix lab.

The proudest moment was when I created a tic-tac-toe games with cursor using Unix COBOL. Hey, that was great you know. And I got praises from people all over.

I felt talented.

When it came second year, my confidence was crushed.

It started when I was switching from Unix based programming to Windows event based programming. I was supposed to do a client server program using VB6 Winsock and I got stuck. Somehow, the event and object-oriented thingy was confusing. I started to question my future in programming.

Even though the project was completed eventually, second year wasn't all that great.

The final year thesis was a great challenge. I really wanted to prove myself and being a risk taker, I proceed with my plans of doing a big project. I almost failed but eventually the project was a success and even the lecturer thinks that I got some stuffs to prove.

Ok, confident soared but that was a tough one.

So, landed the first job as computer programmer for a manufacturing company where me and a few guys were supposed to build the in-house ERP system. Wow! that was really ambitious you know.

If you want to know the truth, I can tell you that whatever skills you have in college will not be good enough in the real world. All of sudden, I realized that there are just so much to learn and seemed like never ending. It was that time which I began to do my own research.

By 1.5 years, I decided that I really hate computer programming and had no future for it. I felt that I was wasting time and I had to find ways to make millions.

I quit and went to sales and marketing. I did that for about 4 years and hadn't make million.

And to amaze you more, I quit sales and marketing and went back to computer programming since 2008; literally starting from scratch (but not really). It is more like a continuation.

It wasn't easy, in fact it was really tough. The first challenge was to find out where I have messed up and started fixing from there. What I mean by this is that I knew that I had to figure out where I had left out and what I didn't understand during that time and what computer programming concepts which went wrong.

Slowly and eventually(step by step, day by day), I conquered the past and master new skills.

And today, I see future in computer programming.

I am not yet famous, but I see future.

What I wanted to share here is that what kept me going was not everything about passion, it was more about worthiness.

If you are caught in such situation, you got to really think about what is worth it. For me it was basically one idea; which is if I can develop a software and sell it, I will make 100% profit. And everything is within my control. That sounds a better strategy to make millions than to sell products of others.

Furthermore, I was looking for something with accumulation effects; the longer you do, the better. And software development seemed fit.

So, when I was at a crossroad two years ago, I really suffered, lonely and unsure. But I thought about what is worth it ?

Today, I am not working as CTO of Microsoft or being a chief programmer of Google, but what I am doing is worthy to me and relevant to the industry.

When things are tough, think about worthiness and try to work around your area of interests and passions.

You have come this far, and how many more to go ?

You also need courage and a lot of it.

I will end with a quote of mine.

"I knew that I didn't choose this life, I just know what to do next." ~ Brandon Teoh.

Good luck dude.

One Needs Charisma To Compete On Top

As I am watching the match between Lin Dan and Taufik Hidayat (Thomas Cup Final 2010).

I find that charisma is not just something which will give you better edge, it is a must.

The reason is because with technology advances, people will equal in terms of physical strengths.

Without charisma, it is hard to maintain the pressure.

Check out the match.
