Hey,

I've added a Free-Kicks section where I will offer my soccer tips. Although they have never been traditionally accurate, I just hope more people will come and visit the website.

Currently, I'm reading Robert Kiyosaki's The Business School for People Who Like to Help Others. It's a very interesting book to read as it tells us more about networking and how you can change your life with ownership of networks. The book is also my Communications presentation's showpiece, so I have to finish reading it by tomorrow and then do the presentation on Thursday morning. After that, if you want to read the book, you can rent it from me for 25cents a day. The book is only 100+ pages so buying it for $20.90 (and it was just $17.90 last month! Cos Robert is coming to SG so they upped the price) is not worth it unless you want to keep it as an asset. And mind you, why am I renting the book instead of borrowing it to you is because in Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert said that an asset is something that generates income for you, which is somehow different from conventional definitions. And yeah, I'm applying it in real life now! Hahaha.

The project crunch is coming again but this time I'm feeling pretty nonchalant about it. I'm very sorry to all my teammates. It's just one of those periods where you just want to shut down and forget about deadlines. Anyway, reality doesn't allow me to slack that much, so I will just put in some effort to come out with something that just about works. Feel free to criticise me on this.

I did some thinking after the previous post regarding why I blame my inability mostly on being poor. I realised that people tend to look to rich people because they are successful. They have already done what we want to do, and that's why we look up to them. I guess this applies to school. We usually look out for the smartest person who does well, and then try to stick around him if possible, so as to do better for our results. I guess it's normal human behaviour, since animals are like that too. The strongest tend to be the leader of the group... Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Yet Robert said that if the leader of the team is also the smartest in the team, the team is doomed. That means we need not be the smartest, the strongest, nor the richest to be the leader.

I want to be a leader like what Robert describes.

But oh well, I've missed lunch and now it's time to take a break. Breaks are important for more running in the long term! Pray that I will still be running normally with the crunch!

You will succeed in your dreams, if you follow me. (Hahaha, just trying to act cool)

Regards
Jeffire
