Personally Speaking-The Journey of Entrepreneur!!

We've heard the phrase "You can always quit anytime, so why quit now?" somehow it can be reversed to "You can start anytime, so why not start now?" and again we feel that the time is always ripe for anyone to chase their dream, as long as they put their mind to it.

According to Johnson Kho and Chia sheng Yeong (Young Entrepreneur Winner), the journey of an entrepreneur is not always a gloriuous, luxurious and confortable as the media..the movie..paints it to be. It's actually an uphill battle especially in the early stages. The most important lesson for us to know is that to remain focused on our goal and not allowing ourselves to stagnate due to the fear of commiting mistakes.

Whenever we see that we're running towards a brick wall, our brain will instinctively tell us to stop, think and find alternative routes around it. Often when we stop to think, the wall seems to get bigger and bigger, however if we just keep on running, perhaps we will find that there is enough gaps and holes for us to leverage on, enabling us to climb over it.!!

A wise man once said "Let it be said that there were not enough opportunities, but let it not be said that you didn't respond when opportunity came knocking on your door" and my friend, lets take the first step and embark on this journey together to become....Entrepreneur :)

SHOCKING!! Hidden Message In 2010 World Cup Logo !!

People talking...."If u study the logo carefully, it depicts a black man kicking the circle world cup and it is actually an eagle symbolizing the whites out of africa (the background) behind the man. If u also check properly, u will see that the eagle is not too happy to be shown the door and it's position in the logo world cup is clearly off tangent with the rest of the drawing depicts been thrown out or since it's a circle, been KICKED OUT. Now, if this is not a display of pure and unadulterated racism in the midst of an important international event, i wonder what is!!! but heyy....its just a perception anywhere!!
