7 7 Introduction Hi, my name is Ong Puay Joo, author of 99 Ultimate Beliefs. First of all, I would like to congratulate you for downloading this ebook. You now have the secrets of beliefs in front of you that transform my life and I m sure that will transform yours too. Now, you may be having this question in mind... How these beliefs possibly help me and even go to the extent of changing my entire life? In order to answer that question and show you the impact of having these belief, let me share with you my personal story... My Turning Point in Life In many people s eyes, I appeared to be a very fortunate and successful girl who grown up in a healthy family, completed studies in University, having relatively good pay job straight after I graduated. Family, Friends, Boss and colleagues also categorize me as a likeable person. People who knows me or even you, may think what else I still need to ask for. However, reality in life doesn t always appears like fairy-tales where all things seems to be so successful and happy. I do have my low points in life just like anyone else. In my early teenage days, I am a very active child who like to participate in sports such as Gymnastics and Netball as my Co-Curricular Activities. But my active lifestyle doesn t last long as during my school annual body check-up, I was told by the nurses that I might have Scoliosis. For those who do not know what Scoliosis is, it is actually the abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. This hit me greatly as Scoliosis occasionally will bring muscle aches and sharp pain in my back, which bring uncomfort to my daily activities. In order not to worsen my condition, my specialist suggested me to give up on my Gymnastic and Netball, and refrain from taking up any extreme sports. From then on, I became very introverted and feeling less confidence in myself as Scoliosis not only affects me mentally but also physically on the outside. X-ray of my spine 08

8 8 To be frank, at that point of time I do blame God why he chooses me to have this imperfection in me. I feel that my life seems meaningless as I have so many limitations in what I can do and what I like to do. My life had been down till one day, I came across a video about Nick Vujicic s life (an inspirational guy who has no limbs) still able to live a happy life and living to his fullest. This is the first video that make me have the belief that nothing is impossible in life. I started to have a change of mindset in life, thinking that why Nick Vujicic who has no limbs able to live his life to the fullest while me having a relatively healthy body have such limiting beliefs in myself. From then on, I started learning from inspiring people and gain learnings from my own pitfalls and experiences. This is where my 99 Ultimate Beliefs comes about and I start applying them whenever I encounter any difficulties or impossibilities in life. Straight after I graduated from University, I got into a relatively well paid 9am-6pm job. I had been working very hard, putting my 100% effort at work, even after office hours I still be on my phone working. My boss even commented that I seems to marry to my job. Great opportunities had been given to me due to my commitments and I had been doing very well in the company. Things starts to change during my 3rd year in the company. I realised that I had been working so hard but am I really happy doing this and would I really want to stay in the company for the rest of my life. This question kept flashing through my mind over and over again but I did not take any action as I am fearful of getting out of my comfort zone, getting the stable and well-paid salary and having great colleagues working with me. Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone At that same period, I was told that my Dad (who owns a coach business and is a bus driver himself), his driving licence had been revoked for 9-months as he violated the law of using his phone while driving. This affects greatly to my dad as well as my family as our family main stream of income comes from my dad. This actually triggers my thoughts again, wondering should I leave my job and help my dad with his company instead. Now there are two choices in front of me and I could only choose one: a well-paid stable job with good colleagues but might not be what I wanted, or being an entrepreneur helping my dad and his company which is what I wanted but may not know if it will be successful.

9 9 Over a long thought, one day I just brought up my courage and I handed my resignation letter to my boss. From that moment, I kind of have a sense of relief which I do not know why, but may be is the choice that I wanted. To be frank, making this choice is not easy and I did struggle for very long before making this decision. Even after I left the company, I still met up with my ex-colleagues as I do really missed the days working with them. ~ My wonderful ex-colleagues that I worked with for 3-years ~ As for now, after I resigned I station at home to work, helping my dad with his coach company to get more clients via online platform. I m still at the starting phase and some people commented that this business may not work and eventually I will fail and get a stable job. However in life, there are always people would give their comments, but which comments to hear and how we would react to all the comments depends on ourselves.

10 10 At the very moment when I made up my mind to help my dad, I told myself that I would give my 101% to do it and I will do it all out. I even set up my own work-desk at home ensuring I have a good working environment. ~ My working desk at home ~ From then on, I keep remind myself with the 99 beliefs whenever I encounter any issues or difficulties. Now let me share with you the secrets of my beliefs and how these beliefs change me in 5 main aspects of my life: Social, Career, Learning, Health and Spiritual. Do note that the individual belief can be used in any aspect of your life where applicable and need not be the same as mine.

11 11 The Ultimate Beliefs Social

12 12 Ultimate Belief #1: Be a Giver, not a Taker People are known to be selfish and self-centered. We will only think about ourselves and not willing to help others if there s nothing in return. However, have you ever thought if you are in the situation when you needed help and there s no one willing to help you. Isn t that sad if everyone have that belief? There s a saying: You will gain more to Give than to Take. I finally understood what this sentence means when I encountered myself at work. I used to help my colleagues whenever they came to me as I m someone who do not know how to reject people. From this self-less action, my colleagues casually praise me in front of my boss and he notices my performances. He then promoted me from an executive to a higher management role upon only working for less than a year. From this, I truly understand that we will gain more by giving more. Ultimate Belief #2: Network = Networth In life, network is relatively important as you do not know when they will become your networth. You may be wondering what does it means. Having a wide network means knowing people from different industries and someday we might need their services or they might need our services. Thus, keeping good relationships with people allows you to get good deals or even building loyalty customer-based. Upon knowing the importance of network, whenever I go for any networking sessions I will meet new people and get their name cards if possible. Occasionally, I will send them festival greetings to keep our relationship warm. By doing so, at times some of them will revert back and approach me that they wanted to give me businesses. Ultimate Belief #3: Helping Others = Helping Myself I do believe that helping others will bring good karma. Please don t get me wrong that I help people is to get good karma in return. But instead, my main motivation to help others is that whenever I am able to help people, seeing the smile on their faces makes me have a sense of happiness within me that no words can describe such feeling. Occasionally, I will volunteer myself in some voluntary work bringing Old Folks out for walks or do some activities with them. At times when time permits, I even travel all the way to Indonesia (Batam Island) to buy necessities for the Orphanages. By doing all these, I feel that the sacrifices of my time and money is worth it and is something that I enjoy doing.

13 13 ~ Pushing Old Folks for morning walk ~ ~ Orphanage at Batam with the necessities ~ Ultimate Belief #4: People are Catalysts not Barriers to Success In life, we will always be surrounded with different types of people whether be it they will be form of encouragement or they will hold us back towards our goal. All these people can be forms of motivation for us to work towards our goal as it all depends on how we see it. For me, whenever people give me comments about what I do, I will listen and think carefully see if it aligns to the direction I want to go. There are also times when people give unpleasant comments saying I will not succeed. I am sure there s always such people appear in your life too. I learnt that I can turn such comments into form of motivation, prove to them that I can do it. So I truly believe that people around us is an important element that bring us to success. Ultimate Belief #5: Don t take Things Personally We human beings are relatively sensitive when people give bad comments about what we do, taking circumstances personally and will be ended up being enslaved emotionally. When this happens, we need to calm down and put comments within an impersonal bracket thinking that they are just rejecting the idea and not me as a person. When I decided to take up the challenge of helping my dad with his coach business, some of my friends even my boss said it will definitely not work due to the current low demand in coach. However I do know that they are stating the facts and wanted to help me. Thus, I will listen to their comments and think about how to improvise it see if there s other opportunities I can tap into, which other competitors had not seen it and still have the demand. So do not ever feel that

14 14 you will not have the ability to make things successful but instead sometimes it just need a tweak. Ultimate Belief #6: Forget, Forgive, Rejoice In our journey to success, we definitely need to work with people to assist us along the way even having the need to work with people we might not like. In my 3years of working life in my previous company, I learnt the importance of having good relationships with people, knowing it will definitely be good to gain more friends than having more enemies. As for me, I will make friends with people and help them whenever I can although I believe there are people in our life might not be favourable or wanted to bring us down. No matter what, I will always put myself in their shoes believing that there s always reasons behind why they do that. Forgiving people is also a kind of act to forgive oneself as you will realised that it will be harder and unhappy to hate someone rather than to forgive people in life. Ultimate Belief #7: It s Always Okay to Ask, and Always Okay to Say No All of us in this world do not have the full knowledge on how to do everything. We also tend to hold back and reserve in asking others for help when we do not know how to do it. On the other hand, when others look us up for help, most of us will find it hard to reject. In this internet era, we are very blessed as most of the answers we need can be Googled. Of course you also need to ensure that the source you find is correct and appropriate. As for some people who are lazy, they will find it easier way to get answers from people instead of finding the answers themselves on the internet. But when this happen, these people actually distracting others who are doing their things and will not be able to focus in what they are supposed to do. With that, it will really be ok to reject these people nicely and inform them that will get back to them once you down with your work. Prioritize your work. Ultimate Belief #8: By Serving Myself First, I Can Better Serve the World I always tell people that I want to do voluntary work to help others. But then I realised that I had limited ability and power to help limited people based on my current status and financial status. My boss did said once to me, if I want to help people firstly I need to help myself first.

15 15 From my boss words, I went back to think about it and I do agree to what he said. I changed my way of thinking to help myself first instead of helping others being my priority as by doing so then I could only help even more people. Ultimate Belief #9: Finding Solutions to Complaints is What Differentiate Me When something happens that doesn't turn out to be what we wanted or expected, most of us will do one thing which is to complain. But by doing so, do you think the problem will be solved after complaining? Most people choose to complain and not do anything to the problem and this actually differentiates unsuccessful people and successful people. Successful people will choose to find solutions to the problem straight away when something happens instead of complaining. I learnt that successful people actually act on it instead of just saying as there s always a saying: Words are cheap. Ultimate Belief #10: Human Relationship is Reciprocal Human behaviour towards another human reflects like a mirror image. How you treat people, people will treat back the same way most of the time. As mentioned above under Ultimate Belief #1: Be a giver, not a taker, why not we make the first mover to treat people well first. I always believe that before you expect how others need to treat you, we have to treat the person well first. People will sense it and eventually appreciate what you had done and treat you back good or even better. Ultimate Belief #11: Smiles Keep Troubles Away Smile is one of the most valuable thing in the world we human can give for FREE. Yes, is free and why is it so hard to just put a smile on our faces everyday whenever we see people. By doing so, we not only switch our minds to a positive mode seeing all the good things, people who see us will also get affected as smiles are relatively contagious. Every morning when I look into the mirror brushing my teeth, I will smile into the mirror telling myself today will be a good day. This may sound silly but it really works and you can try it yourself to see the difference. Start by smiling NOW :)

16 16 ~ Keep the smile on. ~ Ultimate Belief #12: Always Be Truthful to Others As mentioned above under Ultimate Belief #1, human beings are naturally selfish and self-centred. We tend to use people around us to get us to where we want. Stop denying that doesn t happens to you, as everyone of us including me did it unconsciously. In life, we will encounter difficulties and we will seek help from others using their knowledge and skills to solve our problems. This is relatively alright, just that we have to ensure that we doesn t take it for granted. When I required help from others, I will try asking them and I try apply the knowledge myself first instead of asking them to help me do. However, in future when they needed my help, I will

17 17 give back my 100% to help them with their issues and not having a motive behind for helping. Most importantly, you want people to be truthful to you, first you need to be truthful to others. Ultimate Belief #13: Need to be Daring to Go After What I Want In life, we people always thinking of wanting to do something. Now ask yourself is there anything you wanted to do but not yet done? I believe for most of us, the main reason for not doing is that we dare not do it as we are fearful of other factors that may happen if we do. Thus, I would say just take action and go after what you want now before you regret. When I was in high school, one of my classmate has a feeling for me and what he did was he went up the lecture hall stage, in front of about a hundred of people and he did his confession to me during lecture. I believe even before he decided to do this, his mind will have a lot of fears thinking that will we no longer be friends if I rejected him and so on. But he got his courage and took the action and now, he s my soulmate in life!

18 18 The Ultimate Beliefs Career

19 19 Ultimate Belief #14: Take Massive Action As referred to Ultimate Belief #13, as mentioned we need to overcome the fear in us, take action and work towards what we wanted. At times, we need not have to think so much as there will always be route for us to take in life whether be it is a short or longer route, but eventually we will still be able to reach where we want to be. Since my high school days, I always have a thought of helping my dad with his coach company and be an entrepreneur myself. However, I do not have the courage to do anything only until my 3rd year of service in another company when I decided to resign to help my dad. Upon choosing this route, I took massive actions such as building up the company branding on the online platform and did everything from scratch all by myself, working towards my success of being an entrepreneur. Ultimate Belief #15: Take Imperfection Action Most people always wanted to ensure things are perfect before taking action, worried that other people will have chance to give unpleasant comments on their work done. I believe you, including me do not like to receive any bad comments about our work or telling us what we should do although what they commented is right. However, there will always be no perfect situation. Thus, the initial step is to just take imperfect actions and improvise to get things going. Currently I m at the initial stage of my dad s coach business, building its brand awareness on the online platform. I had created social platforms such as Facebook and Instagram but there seems to be not much engagement. My relatives and friends also gave comments on my postings. However, I could see that I m taking imperfect actions and that make me start working towards my aim in building up the company brand awareness instead of not taking any action.

20 20 Ultimate Belief #16: Be Focus Any one of us here can get distracted easily by outside factors, and all these will hinder us from moving forward towards our goal. Along the way, there will always be other choices laid out and will seems to be very attractive. But do bear in mind that all these other choices may distract you and lead you to another route that is away from your initial goal. After I decided to help my dad in this coach business, I am prepared that I will have no salary initially, as being an entrepreneur I should be generating my own income instead. Along the route towards my goal, at times I do feel that I might need to take up some part-time jobs to get some income first to deal with my daily necessities. However, I re-emphasised the belief, telling myself no matter what I need to be focus and need to generate income from here. Ultimate Belief #17: Find My Motivation The most important required element in achieving goals is to identify the source of motivation. Most people are impatient and wanting to see results quickly. However, good results always requires hard work, efforts and time. But many of them eventually will give up even before the results are produced. Thus, it is very important for individual to find their source of motivation that will push them forward towards their goal and not to give up easily. My parents ( especially my dad ) is my main motivation wanting to be entrepreneur earning more money to provide them with good living. For most of the days, I hardly get to see my dad as he will leave house early in the morning and back home late at night. Looking at how hard he works all these years supporting the family, and due to his licence being revoked, I have the urge wanting to support him by doing my best helping him with his business.

21 21 Ultimate Belief #18: I am in Charge of My Life Every human beings on Earth have the responsibilities to take charge of own life. Different individuals will take different routes looking for the reason and purpose to live in this world. We do not live in the shadow of others even our parents. Thus, we need to be responsible in taking charge of our own life and live to the fullest. People around me tend to give comments that I should stay-put with my high-paid job. But it seems that they are sub-consciously controlling my life though they say is for my own good. In the past, I do not know which path I want to take and what is my goal in life. Thus, I will follow blindly on what people tell me. However, when I grew older, gradually I find the purpose of my life wanting to be an entrepreneur, earn more money and give parents good living. Hence, I resigned to help my dad in his company, fully take charge of my own life. I believe that once you know your purpose of life, you will also be able to take charge of your own life confidently! Ultimate Belief #19: Opportunities are Everywhere No matter which industries you are in, there will always be opportunities everywhere just that most of us might not have identify them out yet. Great opportunities usually appear when there s problems and not easily discovered by people as most of us focuses mainly on the problems instead of identifying what opportunities there will be. For my dad s coach business, my dad and I could see there s a drastic drop of business in the tourism sector. Thus, I know we need to explore other sectors such as Corporates or Community Centres. It s just requires some creativity, thinking out of the box and not do things that others commonly will do. It s also important that we need to look for opportunities and not magnifying the problems. Ultimate Belief #20: I don t need the Approval of Others to Succeed We are responsible for our own success and where we want to be all depends on the choices we made and actions we took. We need not get the approval of others which route to take in life as every individual have own responsibilities to choose and we will move towards the direction on the choice we made. People do gave me comments that it will not work out for my dad s business. However, I do see that there s still opportunities I can tap into, expanding to outside the tourism sector. I followed closely to my heart and take actions towards my goal, not getting influenced by what others say.

22 22 Ultimate Belief #21: Challenges can Turn into Opportunities Human Beings always magnifies the challenges and focuses on that. However, when there s challengers, opportunities are actually there, just need us to discover. Most of the time, we just need to twig a little on our perspective of looking at things, thinking out of the box and we will discover things that are out of the norms. When I know about the news my dad s licence being revoked, all my family members were very worried. However, this actually allows me to have a more firm decision on helping my dad, thinking that this might be a great opportunity for me to be an entrepreneur if not i will keep delay in my decisions. Ultimate Belief #22: Hard Work & Perseverance Will Be Rewarded Results will produce when having the right effort and time being put in doing something. Many people doesn t have the patience to persevere through and do not put in 100% of the effort in doing things. The more things you do, the more results you will get and you will be able to get paid off for all your efforts and time put in. I intended to tap into the community centres sector for my dad s business and collate the list of all 103 centres and them individually. On a daily basis, I will send out 20 s and check if there s any revert. To my surprise, I finally gotten one reply from one community centre after sending out 60 s and that s what I mean by hard work do pay off.

23 23 Ultimate Belief #23: Rejection & Failure is Our Vitamins to Success It is important to review on what had done when someone rejected your idea. Many of the times, people tend to give up when there s rejection or failure. However, these are actually the vitamins to our success as from all the rejections and failure, we will be able to learn and improvise our idea to make things better and make it work. I tried tapping into Facebook for my dad s business. However, there are no engagement and even not much impressions for my post. Thus, I did a review on my actions and I realized that my posting might lean towards the tourism segment which is very competitive. Thus, I fine-tune my posting that are more suitable for community centres and corporates needs. Ultimate Belief #24: Everything will Turn Out All Right There will always be choices for us to choose in life. Every choices made will lead us to different routes and destinations, but it will definitely bring us to somewhere. So just take the route you wish to take and you will not regret for choosing the route you don t like. Between a well paid stable job and being an entrepreneur helping my dad, I chosen to help my dad. To be frank, I do not know what will the outcome be and do not know if the business able to work out. But I do know I just need to take the steps working towards my goal, even if is a longer route to take, I will feel the accomplishment in my career and having no regrets in life. Ultimate Belief #25: Be Bold to Take Risk in Life There s a saying: The biggest risk in life is to take no risk. This statement sound a little profound, but it has meaning behind it. When we do not dare to take any risk, we are actually staying in our comfort zone and not trying something else that we are fearful of, but might be good for us than our current status. For me, I chosen to take the risk of leaving my stable salaried job and assist my dad with his company. This is a huge risk I took as I do not know if my dad s business able to succeed. Furthermore, I know that I need to take this risk if not I will never step out of my comfort zone, and not knowing if I could be an entrepreneur too. Life is short, so live to the fullest and be bold to take risk and do what you wanted to do.

24 24 Ultimate Belief #26: Don't Change Goal, Change the Plan of Action Having a goal in life is pretty awesome as you will feel meaningful and having the purpose to work for everyday. However, when things doesn t go the expected way, most of us will turn away and change our initial goal. By doing so, all the efforts that had been put in will all gone to drain. Thus, instead of changing the goal, think of ways to change the plan of doing. Things will eventually turn out successful. For the past one month after I assist my dad in this company, there s no result in bringing in more clients. At the same time, people around me ask me to stop this and do something else. However, I chose to continue with this battle as this is my choice and I need to be responsible for my own action. Instead of changing my goal in assisting my dad, I tried to target other group of customers such as the Community Centre people. There s engagement and replies and it seems to work better than before. Ultimate Belief #27: Future is Based on the Decisions I make today There s always a saying: Future is in our hands. Our future greatly depends on what we choose to do today and it will lead us to the route depending on the path we choose. Thus, we can make choices that will lead us to where we want to be. I always wanted to be an entrepreneur but I chose to enter into small-medium enterprise first after I graduated as to learn as much things as possible from there. On my 3rd year of work, then I only made up my mind as I truly know what I wanted and knowing that if I choose to stay in the company, my dream of being an entrepreneur will always be a dream. Ultimate Belief #28: Waiting for Pay Cheque Why Not Giving My Own Pay Cheque Most people wait for their pay cheques every month, doing jobs that they are not happy with. This is pretty sad as we human seems to be working for money and not using money to work for us. Furthermore, instead of letting others determine our pay, why not we decide on our own pay. Having this belief, I eventually have the thought of wanting to be an entrepreneur and as I believe that no one in the company is indispensable only the boss. Furthermore, I will also have a sense of accomplishment to produce my own cheque.

25 25 Ultimate Belief #29: Work must be Prioritized There will always be lots of work for us to do and it is important to prioritize them according to the importance. As many of us not able to do multi-tasking and things that were done at the same time may not be of good standards. During my 3 years of working experience in my previous company, every day my boss even other colleagues will come to me giving me tons of work to do. All of us only have 24hrs per day and it will only be workable if I could prioritize all the work. I will use some productive application such as Trello to help me prioritize my work according to the importance and urgency of the tasks. ~ Prioritizing work using Trello ~ Ultimate Belief #30: Success Takes Time, Efforts and Sacrifices Majority of people tend to see fabulous outcome of successful people who achieved good results in life. However, many do not know the scene behind each success where there are lots of sacrifices and efforts being put in by those people. This is also known as The Iceberg Theory of Success.

26 26 ~ The Iceberg Theory of Success ~ After I took over the responsibility of operating my dad s company, I knew that there will be sacrifices need to be made. For the past 2 months, I had been spending lots of time doing researches and building up social platforms, waking up early morning daily and sleep late at night. I even sacrifices my time with my friends as I am unable to meet them up so often as compared to the previous time. Now ask yourself, are you ready to make those sacrifices to make it a success in your life? Ultimate Belief #31: I Fail only When I Stop Trying Most of the times, it requires many trials and errors before getting the right formula to produce good results. Just like the well-known light bulb inventor, Thomas Edison who failed 1,000 times before successfully invented the long lasting light bulb and he commented that he did not fail 1,000 times but instead the light bulb was invented with 1,000 steps. Without his persistence in trying, we will not have lights in all our homes now. I applied this belief in my career as an entrepreneur. I had been trying ways to improvise my posting on the social platform, testing out see what content most people wish to see and see when is the best time to do posting and so on. I believe I will not fail if I don t stop trying.

27 27 Ultimate Belief #32: Life Begins at the End of Our Comfort Zone Are you staying within your comfort zone feeling that is alright and you feel comfortable being in this status quo? Stop that as it will destroy your life. One day, you might find yourself unable to keep up with the fast changing world and other people will seems to overtake you with their updated skills. Leave our comfort zone and do things that we normally will not do, allow us to grow as a person and push us to our ultimate limit which we might not even know we could. During my 3rd year of service in my previous company, I realized that I m just like most people running in the rat race waiting for monthly pay cheque. Thus, I decided to quit my job and get out of my comfort zone, switching from an employee mindset to an employer mindset. Ultimate Belief #33: Just Do It Human beings naturally like to think too much before making a choice. Think before making a choice is right, however over thinking may stop you from moving towards your goal. Over thinking are unreal situations which may happen, but those situation might not even happen. So just like what Nike s slogan stated: Just Do It. As mentioned, I would like to be an entrepreneur and previously I do like to overthink too just like other people, worrying that I might not be successful. However, having this belief in mind, I handed my resignation letter over to my boss and I took action towards being an entrepreneur and not to worry about my action. Ultimate Belief #34: Need to be Conscious of Every Decision Made As mentioned in Ultimate Belief #27, future all depends on the choice made today. Thus, every decision made need to be very conscious about what will happen and where it will bring us to, ensuring decision made will bring towards the goal and not away from the goal. Whenever there s needed to make any decision on what to do on social platform, I will ensure that the decision made will help me boost the brand awareness of the company and get more client. Thus, after having the conscious of what is needed to do, I tried posting places that caters for company team building, as our target market is towards the corporate segment.

28 28 Ultimate Belief #35: Big Goals are Achievable by Breaking into Smaller Goals Do you have big dreams but you don t dare to dream about it? You might think that big goals are hard to achieve and don t even dare to think about it. However, big goals are really achievable when you break them into smaller goals and you will find it much easier to reach those big goals. As a young entrepreneur, I aim to earn my first million dollars by the age of 30 years old. But based on my current situation, I even have the difficulty to hit $1k per month profit. Thus, I tried to break down my first million dollars goal into monthly goals or even weekly goals and I find it to be more achievable. Meantime, I will also feel more motivated as being able to reach my small goals and having the sense of accomplishment. Ultimate Belief #36: Do What I Am Enjoy Doing Having a dream job is what every individual would wish for in the career aspect of life. One of the main element of a dream job is to do a job that you enjoy and having the passion to do it. Eventually, the job will not seen as a job but instead a passion to make it a success. Whenever you enjoy what you are doing, you will do well and will make it successful no matter what it takes. In the past, I am like anyone of you running in a rat race, keep working just for monthly pay cheque but doesn t feel the real joy in working. Thus, I decided to make my dream job become real and ensuring that I will make it a success. So, what about yourself, have you found your dream job? Ultimate Belief #37: Focus on Being Productive, Not Busy Are you in the same group with people needed to work over-time everyday? If you are, please get out of that group as soon as possible as it is not a very healthy lifestyle to be in. Working overtime not only will exhaust your energy, you will be buried yourself with all the workload and soon you will be like a zombie working without a soul. So, aim to work effectively by getting no distractions during work. I always tend to work over-time, finding myself very unproductive when I was in my previous company as during work there s always other distractions where colleagues will come to me for help and so on. However, after I stayed at home helping my dad with the company, I was more productive and tend to have more progression at as compared to previous times.

29 29 Ultimate Belief #38: Attitude = Altitude Attitude is one of the important element required to be successful. Attitude includes looking things positively and willing to put in extra effort to get results. However, many people do not wish to put in effort and wish for good results to just happen. But this will not work as results will only pay off when people have the right attitude towards work. I believe in hardwork and not taking short cuts in career as we need to set up the foundation in order to maintain the stability of the business. Thus, everyday I will put in my 100% attitude working on the coach business, setting up social platforms one by one by myself and I believe one day people will engagement me via the social platforms, getting in profit for the company. Ultimate Belief #39: Knowledge is Power Knowledge is something that human need to have in order to survive in the world. Without knowledge, many things will be unknown to you and you might be doing the wrong things and going the wrong way. The power of knowledge allows you to solve difficulties and people will see you differently when you uses your knowledge to help them solve their problems. Occasionally, I will attend courses and seminars to improve my knowledge on the online business and see how I can apply those knowledge in my dad s company, making it to be digitize that caters to the current market. Ultimate Belief #40: Attitude + Motivation + Discipline = Success As mentioned under Ultimate Belief #38, attitude is an element required towards success. However, attitude alone doesn t bring you to success as it also requires motivation and discipline. Success is having the right attitude, having the source of motivation to allow you to pull through all obstacles and being discipline to ensure all the things are done as plan. Having these 3 factors, you will be able to make it for sure! Everyday I will set morning alarm to wake myself up to ensure I start working on a scheduled timing and not slack my way through, although i m working from work. Furthermore, I always have the positive perspective on the coach business thinking that it will definitely work. Lastly, whenever I feel tired or wanting to give up I will refer back to my Ultimate Belief # 17, remind myself what s my main motivation to work hard towards my goal ensuring it is a must to make it a success.

30 30 Ultimate Belief #41: Good to Have an Idol in Life Do you have an idol in life? Im referring to someone who you adore and wants to be like him or her in real life apart from singers or superstars. Having someone whom you wanted to be like is pretty good as you will aim to be like the person and do what the person usually will do so as to reach to the point just like them. By doing that, you will have a guide on how to do it and what you should do, creating a clear path in life. In my life, I regard my aunt as my role model as she s not only successful in career, she also have a great family of her own and able to cook delicious meal for the family. Having her as my idol allows me to know what I want to achieve in life and where I m aiming to be like as a person. At times, I will ask her for advice on what I should do and how I can be like her. ~ My Aunt, My Idol ~ ~ Home Cook Food Prepared by My Aunt ~ Ultimate Belief #42: Make Declaration and Take Action When you wanted to ensure you will complete the task, make declaration and tell as many people as possible what you wanted to do. Such declarations is a form of witnesses and also a push factor to ensure the task is completed. Of course, actions need to be taken to ensure declaration made is not just empty words. After I decided to resign from my previous company, I had been updating my friends my next

31 31 step of career which is to assist my dad with his company. Furthermore, I had been working on creating the social platform to start off with the business. Making such declaration makes me feels that I must make it a success and do it well, if not I will become a non-trustworthy person who just say only and take no action towards what I had said. Ultimate Belief #43: Overcoming Challenges Is What Makes Life Meaningful In life, there will always be challenges that hinder us from getting us to our goals. However, challenges is the aspect that allow us to improve ourselves and be better than the previous us. Without challengers, life will not be that interesting. Furthermore, if you have the ability to overcome those challengers, you will grow to be a better person, finding your life being more meaningful. During my working experience, my boss wanted me to handle a nasty customer. This is a great challenge for me as I am still very new handling with difficult customers. I had been listening to the customers and I managed to talk things out. From this incident, I realized that I also can handle difficult customers and challenges can be overcomed. Ultimate Belief #44: When One Door Closes Another Door will Open Different individuals will take different path in life, going towards where they want to go and what they want to do. In life, actually there are many choices for us to choose and different types of route we can take. When one choice doesn t turn out well, try take another route and you might find the right door that brings you to where you want to go. Most importantly, don t be discourage and persevere through. As mentioned before, my dad s coach company under the tourist sector is not doing very well but I do believe that there are other sectors I can tap into and now I m looking into the Community Centres and Corporate sectors. Who knows these sectors can be gems and not many coach companies discovered yet. Ultimate Belief #45: Must have the What s Next Mentality In this fast changing world, things are changing so quickly until what we do today might not be applicable tomorrow. Things that we do will always not be able to be perfect and always have a need to improvise. Thus, in order to keep up with the fast pace and keep our work updated, it is important to have the What s next mentality and not stop there once completed.

32 32 I tried doing posting about Singapore attractions on social platform to gain more organic viewers rather than just showing our coaches available which will make it boring to viewers. Thus, I will always review all my posting and see how I can make it better to cater to the different market. Hence, I try posting suggested places for team bonding as I wanted to target corporate groups and I can see that there s more reached after the change of topic being posted. ~ Singapore Attractions Posting ~ ~ Suggested Place for Team Bonding ~ Ultimate Belief #46: Success Is Not About How You Start, But Is How You Finish Different people have different starting point due to different backgrounds and resources each individual has. But the main thing is not about how you start, instead how each of us finish the journey reaching our goals. As mentioned under Ultimate Belief #15, we need to take imperfection action, persevere through moving towards our goals. I may start off with one-man show, needed to handle most of the administrative, marketing and sales portion of the business all by myself. Tough times won t last but tough people do, so I will persevere through and do what I can until I reaches my goal.

33 33 Ultimate Belief #47: Plan to Do and not Do Then Plan Many of us do not like to do planning before doing anything. However, planning is essential as it allows you to take calculative risks and things will be under your control not giving you unexpected challengers which you might not be able to handle it. Furthermore, by scheduling on what you want to do allows you to be more productive and not wandering around doing things that might not give you progression towards your goal. For my online posting, I scheduled the dates and contents which to be posted on social media platform. By doing so, it allows me to ensure my posting are not repeated and see if those posting are workable. ~ Scheduled Social Media Content Posting ~ Ultimate Belief #48: Question My Goals and Never Question My Worth All of us in this world has our own worth in contributing to the world. Even people who hold low income jobs also have their worth such as cleaners enabling the environment is kept clean giving us a clean place to stay in or construction workers who have the ability to construct building for us to have a home to stay. So, don t ever question your worth. Having this belief in mind, when I couldn t get any results from my business I will ask if my goals are achievable and not question my worth as I know I will be able to do it if I want to, just that I may need to change my way of doing.

34 34 Ultimate Belief #49: Consistency Cultivate Habits Habits are being cultivated through consistency. Thus, whether is good or bad habits all depends on what individual do. There is a saying, good habits need to be cultivated using 3 years but bad habits just needed 3 days. Thus, why not challenge yourself in cultivating good habits that able to bring you to the next phase of your career. Although I work from home, however I will set alarm clock everyday to wake myself up in the morning and start my scheduled task without allowing myself to have the chance to relax and lose the working momentum. Having such habits allows me to ensure my work are done on the scheduled timing and will not be lag behind. Ultimate Belief #50: 100% Effort Need to be Put In For Everything I Do Results are always reciprocal to the effort you put in. The more effort being put in, the better results you will get. But most people think otherwise, thinking that putting in some effort and hoping there will be results being produced. Instead of half-heartedly doing something, why not put in all the effort to ensure the things are being done properly and you will feel a sense of accomplishment when there s result produced. For everything that I do, I will ensure that I put in 100% effort to do it and do it properly. Just like my dad s business, since I decided to take up the challenge I started doing it from scratch such as designing of logo, namecard, social platforms all by myself and I do enjoy doing all these as I know all these are small little efforts that will contribute to my big results. ~ Logo and Name Card Designed by Myself ~

35 35 Ultimate Belief #51: Make Decision Only When My Mind is Clear Humans are emotional creature. We tend to be easily affected by things that happens around us and make decisions straight away without giving ourselves time to cool down. Most of the time, such decisions are usually made impulsively and we will regret after that. So, ensure you are not being affected by any factors before making any decision. I will always look at things from different perspectives to see if the decision I make is correct. I did mentioned above that I having difficulty making decision on whether to leave my stable well-paid job or to help my dad with his company. At that point of time, I am very sure that my mind is very clear knowing what I want before making such decision and not affected by my colleagues or boss. Ultimate Belief #52: Never Let Fear Decide My Future Do you have anything you are fearful of that hinder you from doing what you want to do? I believe most of us do, and we just let the fear live in us making us regret in our later part of life for not doing what we wish to do. Knowing that you will regret, so why not overcome the fear and just follow your heart and do what you always wanted to do. My dream is to be an entrepreneur and I always dare not choose to take this path as I am pretty comfortable with my well-paid job and need to have to worry about my monthly bills and allowance for my parents. However, I know that I will definitely regret if I never give it a try. Thus, I made up my mind and decide to leave my job, not letting my fear decide my own future. Ultimate Belief #53: Step on Other People s Shoulder to See Further We only have very limited time in life to go through and experience everything ourselves getting to know how to do things. The fastest way to know how to do is to learn from others experiences, not making the same mistakes and improvise the method. By doing so, you can use the time that had saved in experiencing and learning other things. I definitely do not have the knowledge on doing business. Thus, I learnt and get knowledge from people such as my boss and my aunt who are bosses themselves to guide me along on how to do business. By doing so, I can focus on generating more profit and need not go through the long learning process and avoid making mistakes.

36 36 Ultimate Belief #54: Always Apply What I See and Learnt Learning is a process of acquiring knowledge and act upon the knowledge learnt. Without reinforcement, learning is not completed. We can learn from people, our competitors or even other companies of other trades, see how they operate their business and apply it to our own context. Whenever I am outside doing shopping or even have a casual meet up with my friends, I tend to open up my 5 senses to see how other trade is doing and how they operate their business. From there, I will try to learn from them and apply what I learnt into my own coach business. We just need to be a little bit more creative and think out of the box see how it can be applied to your own business context. Ultimate Belief #55: Always Compliment People and Magnify Their Strengths Human beings like to be appreciated and get compliments by what they had done great. However, in real world most people like to magnify other people s weaknesses and complaint about their wrongdoings. By doing so, people who initially do good will be discouraged and will not put in 100% effort to do things since they know how well they do will not be appreciated. As referred to above Ultimate Belief #10: Human relationship is reciprocal. I wanted people to appreciate and compliment me when I do good, thus I will first compliment people on what they had done well and focuses more on their strengths than weaknesses. By doing so, I can see that the people became more appreciative and willing to put in greater effort at work to ensure they do well. Ultimate Belief #56: Have a Vision In business context, it is always very common to ask what s the business s mission and vision. Having a company vision is very important as it allows business owners to be very clear on the direction they are moving towards and work towards that vision. For my dad s coach company, I had a vision of this company being the largest coach service provider in Asia by Upon having this vision, I am very clear that online platform allows me to reach out to more people quickly as compared to the traditional way of physical marketing. Furthermore, our visions need to be specific and make sure I m pushing myself hard to meet the state goals.

Occasionally, I will attend courses that can help me with my dad s business. I will go for free-courses as well as paid-courses to ensure I m well equipped with various skills and knowledge, preparing myself to be an entrepreneur. ~ Certificate for Excel Course 2016 ~ ~ Certificate for Digital Marketing Course 2017 ~ Ultimate Belief #58: My Past can be Reviewed and Create Better Future Our past is something that we are unable to rewind and repeat again. But what we can do is to review on our past and learnt from our experiences, creating a better future. We can learn from our past, making our future a better one by not making the same mistakes.

39 39 In the past, I tend to be very unproductive and find it difficult to manage time which led myself needed to work overtime. After I quit my job, I tried to do planning and scheduling of my task on a planner to keep myself more productive. So, you can now create a better future by coming up with solutions to your problems that occurred in the past. ~ Planner to Schedule My Daily Tasks ~ Ultimate Belief #59: What I Learnt can be Improved and Refined Learning from others and apply in our own context may not work well as sometimes there s needed to do some fine-tuning that relates to our individual context. Even after application to our context, we can improvise the current method and improvise the method to make it works even better. From my previous company, I learnt to use Google Drive that allows files to be shared and having the ability to access and edit at anytime and anywhere. I applied the usage of Google Drive to my dad s company and I even created invoice using the Drive which my dad and myself able to have fast access to the files.

40 40 Ultimate Belief #60: Strive for Progression Not Perfection Progression is something that is needed to strive for in the learning curve. There is always things we need to learn in order to bring us to a higher level of our success. Even old people at their age still having the learning attitude to improve themselves, striving for progression in life. Perfection is not something we should strive for us perfection means that there s no room for improvement and we will remain as status quo. I always remind myself need to have the learning attitude and strive for progression in every aspect of my life. As mentioned above in Ultimate Belief #45, we always need to have the What s next mentality to ensure we are progressing and not thinking that we are already perfect and need not continue to learn. Ultimate Belief #61: Look at the Positive Side of Things There will always have different perspectives to look at things, whether is it on a positive side or a negative side depending on how the person sees. But most people tend to focus more on the negative side and all the negative thoughts will surface, making people to be negative too. Life is short, so why not focus more on the positive side and make our life happier. As my dad s company is still at the starting phase on social media, there s no income generated yet from my side and I had been spending my own savings on my daily expenses. From this, I see it positively as I believe that it will make me want to strive even harder and be focus to ensure this business will be successful, and I need not spend away my savings. Ultimate Belief #62: Do Something Different to Get Different Results Are you wishing to get different results from your peers but you are still doing the same thing as them? If you think you will get different results, forget it as doing the same thing as others will bring you the same results as like them. If you wanted to get different results, do something different and you will produce something different from them. I see most of my peers of the same age are running in the rat race, not enjoying what they are doing and waiting for your pay cheque. I do not want to be like them, thus I decided to take up the entrepreneur route and do something different from the rest of my peers. To think of it, if I continue doing the same thing as them, I won t be able to fulfil my dream of being an entrepreneur and will be stuck in the rat race like any one of my peers.

41 41 Ultimate Belief #63: Choice of Words Used Do Reflects Results The choice of words used are very powerful as they will affect your mind and action. Will you unconsciously use words like: I try or Maybe. Eliminate those words in your life now as they will affect your attitude towards your actions and eventually your results. In the past, I used to use words like I will try as I do not have the confidence to do the things successfully. However, I realised that the words I use do affects my attitude towards my actions as instead of saying I try, I said I will and I can. With that, I will ensure that I have to complete the task and make it a success not having the Try try attitude. Ultimate Belief #64: We Can Learn From Everything That Happens in Life Learning can be done anywhere anytime or even from other people. Learning is to refrain you from making mistakes and ensure you go on the right route. Even if you encounter any problems, you will be able to learn from your mistake made that lead to the issue and not making the same mistake in future. For myself, I not only learn from my own mistakes and other people, I even learn about life from dramas. You may think dramas are just acting and not real, however I realized that many of the scenes in dramas are actually very real and applicable to our daily lives. From then on, I likes to analyze dramas that I watched and learn from them see how the learnt knowledge applicable to my own life. Ultimate Belief #65: Life is Based on the 90/10 Principle The 90/10 principle states that 10% of life is made up of what happens to you and 90% of life is decided by how you react to it. Our future can be created with our own hands no matter how our life starts whether is it wealth or not wealthy, healthy or not healthy, we will still be able to be successful depending on how we react to it. As mentioned in the introduction, I had scoliosis and I may not be able to do extreme sports as it may affect my back. However, I stay positively and I started exercising to strengthen my back muscles. Instead of blaming on why I born this way, I choose to react positively and aim to do what I want to do not having any limiting beliefs.

42 42 The Ultimate Beliefs Health

43 43 Ultimate Belief #66: I Am Responsible for My Own Health Our health is all depends on what we eat and how we take good care of them. There s also a saying that your mood can affect the condition of our health. This is scientifically proven as most of us in the working world are not as healthy as those people in the past due to the amount of stress we have. So we need to ensure our health stays healthy by staying positively everyday, eating healthy food and exercise regularly. I wanted to stay healthy so that I can work towards what I want to do without my health being one of the hindering factors. I will ensure myself to stay positive everyday, go for running at least twice a week and have healthy meals. So start to concern about the status of your health and do what is required to stay healthy. Ultimate Belief #67: Choice Made will Determine My Result Results is always determined by what we choose to do. As mentioned before, there s always various choices we can choose from and which route to takes all depends on ourselves. So we are 100% responsible for our own results. I like to run at the beach, getting the fresh air and nice scenery. Along the way, there will always be two routes for me to choose see which route to run. Knowing that one route is actually longer than the other but in the end, I chose to take the longer route as I remind myself my main intention of running is to get healthy and not just run for leisure. I started my weekly run for about 2 months and I can feel that I indeed feel happier and healthier as a person.

44 44 Ultimate Belief #68: Things I Do Need to be Tracked Whatever we do, we need to track them, if not we will not know how s our progression and whether we did well. Having the habit of tracking, you will tend to aim better results the next time and soon you will see progression in what you do. Every time I went for my run, I will use my iwatch application to track my running records. With this tracking, it allows me to know the performances of my individual run, able to review them and try to push harder on myself to get better results for the next run. ~ Records of My Individual Run ~ Ultimate Belief #69: Appreciate For What I Have Being healthy and able to do what you enjoy doing is something you should be grateful for. Good health is not what everyone can wish for, so be contented and be appreciative for what you have and do what you can do now. You may not know one day your health may be deteriorated and could only think about your dream, regretting for not fulfilling them. Although I have minor imperfection spine, however I still have a relatively healthy body that allows me to walk, run and do whatever I wanna do. I do not limit my own doings and being very appreciative for what I have, get myself more healthy by going for run.

45 45 Ultimate Belief #70: Create Good Habits to have a Better Life Good life is being created by having good habits over time. Sacrifices need to be made such as sacrificing sleeping time, time with friends having good food, etc to ensure your health is at its best. So, are you ready to cultivate good habits and creating a good life for your future? Although I station at home to work, I will still set alarm to wake myself up every morning to refrain myself from getting lazy. In addition, I will ensure myself to go for run at least twice a week to keep myself healthy. All these habits need to be cultivated over time and I believe I will feel more motivated and happier in life to have something to look towards to. ~ Running Schedules ~ Ultimate Belief #71: No Pain, No Gain There is always a saying, No pain no gain. It also applies to our bodies, in order to build muscles, we need to exercise regularly to replace damaged muscles and form new muscles.

46 46 After every exercise, you will definitely feel the sore in your body which also means your new muscles are building up. However, if you doesn t feel any pain or muscle ache it also means that you hasn t work hard enough and there won t be new muscles being formed. Having this belief in mind, I aim to run further each time to ensure my muscles tear and new muscles being build up. This not only will lead me to a healthier life but also allows me to have more confident with my body. Ultimate Belief #72: Start Now, Not Tomorrow Tomorrow is a common word many of the people will use. When there s something needed to do but people not willing to do it tend to say will do it tomorrow. However, there will always be no tomorrow as things will be drag only until the person have the will to do it. Instead of dragging it, why not start doing now today? To be frank, I m one of those people who will say tomorrow then do it. However, as mentioned in Ultimate Belief #62, we need to do something different from what we usually do to get different results. I do not wish to go back to my usual lazy self, so I got up my feet having the mindset to start my run now and not drag any further. Ultimate Belief #73: Learn to Rest and Not to Quit Quitting the task or running away when there s obstacles is always the easiest way to take. Whenever there s obstacles surfaced, most people tend to avoid them or just give up. Instead of quitting, why not learn to take a rest instead of stopping it completely. Resting also allows you to walk even further and eventually you will still be able to reach your goal, rather than giving up halfway through and not able to reach where you want to be. During my run, at some points I do feel very tired and feel like giving up. But instead of stop running immediately, I chose to slow down my pace and continue running, telling myself that I cannot stop running if I do not complete my run. Upon having this mindset, I successfully pulled through and completed my run. Ultimate Belief #74: Give No Excuses or Reasons for Not Doing Giving excuses is a form of bad habit people have when they do not know how to do or not wanting to do something. Instead of using the energy to find excuses for not doing, why not

47 47 use the energy to do it. So stop giving yourself excuses and just do it before you regret. I believe you will find the satisfaction of completing the task even more when you do something that you don t know or don t like doing it. I always scheduled my run, but unfortunately there are always some days that are rainy weathers. There s a day I woke up by my alarm clock, looking out the window I see the sky looks very dark that seems like going to rain very heavily. With such cold weather, at that moment I do have the urge to go back to sleep and hide under my blanket. However, I knew that if I do so I will cultivate this bad habit of giving myself reasons for not doing. Sun always comes after gloomy weather, I got myself ready and went for my run as scheduled once the weather turns good without giving myself excuses of skipping my run for the day. Ultimate Belief #75: Choose The Proper Way and Not Taking Shortcuts Taking shortcuts to where we want to be is always the easiest choice to take. However, shortcut methods may not give you the best results which you aiming for as compared to taking the proper way to get to your desired goal. To be true, it will always take longer time to achieve your goal but with motivation and perseverance, your goal will be very near you. Due to my scoliosis that make my physical body looks a little different from others, I aim to have a fit and tone body. Instead of doing any operations or taking slimming pills, I took the proper way of toning my body by having a healthy lifestyle such as doing exercises regularly, take in healthier food and most importantly to stay positively. Ultimate Belief #76: Success is Actually Very Near When I Feel Like Giving Up People tend to give up when they didn t manage to see any results after working for it for very long. However, when the moment you feel like giving up, most of the time your goal is just one inch away from you. Life is indeed that cruel, but results will only paid off to people who persevere through. Last time, I always have a goal to run till to the end of one side of the beach. However, whenever I reach a bend and couldn t see the route ahead and at that point of time I m really tired, so I tend to turn and run back. One day, I am really curious how it looks like at the end of the park so I push my limit and continue running when I reach the bend. Then I realized, I just need to run another 500 meters ahead and I will reach the end of the park. This really shows that we just need to persevere through a little bit more and success is actually very near us.

48 48 Ultimate Belief #77: My Body Reacts to What My Mind Thinks In the recent years medical report, stress is said to be one of the cause of activating cancerous cells in human body. Our body actually reacts to what our mind thinks. If we have positive thoughts in mind, our body will react accordingly and good cells will be produced. There are also cases where cancer patients are cured as they found that their cancerous cells seems to disappear, which what people said to be a miracle. I has been cultivating good habits and training my mind to be positive. Having the positive mindset, from my running performances I could see I seems to be more healthy as compared to the previous me. I seems to not get sick easily and I feel more energetic pursuing my goals. Ultimate Belief #78: Live Everyday to the Fullest Be blessful that you are able to wake up in the morning everyday, being able to do what you want to do. As mentioned earlier, good health is not something we can ask for. There s is also a saying, coffin is not for old people, but for dead people. This also means that people at young age might also suffer from bad health. So always be grateful to what you have and live your life to the fullest.

49 49 I am very grateful with my healthy body and still being able to do what I enjoy doing. I always remind myself that my health sooner or later will eventually deteriorate due to old age or other unexpected factors. So, everyday I live my life to the fullest by doing what I enjoy doing, achieve my daily goals and helping others. Ultimate Belief #79: Always Remember Why I Started If I Feel Like Giving Up Giving up is always the first choice most people will choose when they think that they are unable to do something. However, usually lots of efforts had already been put in before people choose to give up and those efforts will be wasted. So before making the choice to give up, why not remind yourself why you even started doing it initially and get the source of motivation back to make you continue working hard on it. I always had a aim to run the whole beach and it seems hard to achieve as usually I just managed to run half of the beach. On the day which I try to run the whole beach, half way through to be very frank I m like half dead and would like to just give up. However, I realized that I already ran ¾ of the route and it will be so wasted if I just give up. Furthermore, I kept remind myself what s my initial aim that day and indeed, I managed to push through my limits and run the whole beach successfully. ~ Goal Accomplished: Completed Running The Entire Pasir Ris Beach ~

50 50 The Ultimate Beliefs Spiritual

51 51 Ultimate Belief #80: Nothing Is Impossible, Instead I m Possible In the introduction, I mentioned that I have scoliosis and specialist suggested me not to take up extreme sports. However, over the years, I had been exercising and strengthening my back muscles and the condition of my spine doesn t seem to get worse. Thus, knowing that life is so short, I chose to do something that might seems impossible to me but but being able to do that allows me to live my life with no regret. Scuba diving is one of my to-do activity in my bucket list. Despite of my spine, I chose to fulfil my wants and go ahead to try out diving. Of course, danger is always there but I am responsible for my own safety and life, and I chose to go ahead with my dream. Even until now, I am glad that I chose to do it that time even if it seems to be impossible, but I do believe that I m possible. ~ My First Mission Impossible in Life ~ Ultimate Belief #81: Vision Board Can Help Me Achieve my Goals Do you have a vision board? Vision board is a board which you can put pictures of all the things you would like to achieve in your life. Upon having this board, it actually allows you to be very clear on what you want to achieve and when looking at this board, subconsciously will let your mind work towards all these goals. I believe that by consistently looking at the vision board allows me to think about the possibility of achieving big things, stimulating my mind to make those visions come true. To be frank, I had

52 52 not start doing my vision board as I just knew about the purpose of this board but I bought the board and listed the things I want to achieve in life ( my bucket list ), and I will input all of the list of pictures into the vision board.

So, always look at the positive side of things and your life will gradually change. Having this belief, I even think that my scoliosis seems to be not an issue to me now as without this spine problem, I may not go for exercise to strengthen my muscles and I will not be this healthy now. Having this positivity in me I do feel that my life seems happier and able to create a better life. Ultimate Belief #83: I can Make Tomorrow A Better Day Have you ever wonder you actually have the ability to make tomorrow a better day? Yes, don t

53 53 doubt that as we can decide on how we look at things and not being upset for what had happen today. At times, we do encounter unhappiness in life but we should look forward and not look back. Every day is a brand new day, so receive tomorrow with a positive mind and you will make tomorrow a better day. I always treat everyday as a brand new day, and I receive it with brand new feelings. I also have unhappiness incident in my life, but I let it be the past and not bringing it forward to my next day. I always tell myself that I can be upset now, but when the moment I wake up tomorrow I need to bring myself up and move forward.

All our lives are very precious and we all actually have a purpose to live in this world, helping one another to create better lives better place. I am very appreciative with what I have and having the ability to do what I enjoy doing. I always believe in giving back to the society, sharing my joy with others and to help others create happiness in their lives. As mentioned before, occasionally I will go Old Folks Home to do voluntary work and being able to give and share my joy to those grandpas and grandmas makes me think that I, as a person can also make a difference to so many people s life.

54 54 Ultimate Belief #85: Everything I Need is Within Myself We human beings have our individual shortcomings which may hinder us from achieving our goals. However, what we actually need is to identify those shortcomings and find ways to overcome them. So we can actually transform those shortcomings into becoming our strength. Thus, it linked back to ourselves again on how we look at things. I know that my own shortcoming is having issue with time management. After I managed to identify my problem, I resolve it myself by having a schedule planner to plan my task on a daily basis. Thus, whatever we need can actually be solved with our own help. Ultimate Belief #86: Always Surround Myself with Positive People, Energy & Thoughts People around us consist of positive and negative people. However, we need to choose the people to be with and be surrounded with those positive people to keep ourselves positive. Even if you are a positive person but always being surrounded by negative people, those people will eventually influence you and transform you to be like them. So, choosing the people to be with in your life will affect greatly on your future. I consider myself being a relatively positive person, however I will still choose to stay close with people who are positive and learn from those motivating people, surround myself with positive energy and positive thoughts. Ultimate Belief #87: Tough Times Don't Last, Tough People Do In life, there are always good times and bad times. There is always a saying: Good times will definitely come after experiencing tough times, so just persevere through. We should train ourselves to be tougher and having the right mindset and attitude to overcome those tough times. My life also do have ups and downs, and how I actually overcome those tough times coming to my current phase of life is to make myself a tougher person by looking at things positively when things happen. Being able to preserve through without giving up, I believe very soon good times will come in real time.

55 55 Ultimate Belief #88: Greatest Competitors is Me, Myself Most of us like to compare ourselves with other people. However, different individuals have different starting points in life due to our different birth backgrounds. Some people are born with silver spoons and they have great network and exposures to successful people to assist them, as compared to other people. Thus, instead of competing with other people, the actual greatest competitors is actually ourselves. I do not like to compete with other people as I always feel unfair and uncomfortable. Instead, I compete the Yesterday self to the Today self, see if I had made any improvement from yesterday. This might sound silly but competing oneself allows me to have consistent improvement in myself. Ultimate Belief #89: Just Pray to God When There s Nothing I Can Do There are times when we humans has no control over about things such as climate change, illness, etc. When bad things happens and there s no way we can do but to only pray to God. Though I m a free-thinker, coming from a Catholic school that does praying daily, influence me to believe in God existence. This may sound superstitious, but it may helps when there s no other choices. My grandfather was once bedridden and doctor said his life is at stake. Doctor diagnosed that there are fluid and excessive air found in his lungs and that is very dangerous for an old age of 92 years old man. At that point of time, there s nothing we can do but to pray. Miracles do really happen and I believe God do exist as my grandpa is relatively healthy now and he s able to stand and walk by his own.

56 56 Ultimate Belief #90: Musics Can Improve My life Music is one of the best creations in the world that add colours to our lives. Musics have many advantages to humans such as being able to help us reduce stress level, improve endurance and increase joy in us.

Even when I need to focus on studying or do work, musics also helps to improve my endurance of my focus level. Of course, choosing the types of music is also important as different musics will give you different feelings. If possible, get your hands down to any instruments, play some musics and you can see how it helps in improving your mood, making your life happier and more lively. Ultimate Belief #91: There s Always More Solutions to Problems Most people always see there are more problems than solutions for anything that happen. However, whenever there s a problem surface, there will definitely be solutions to solve it, just that we need to open up our mind and think out of the box. I always believe that there are always two ways to things for everything that happens. Just like human beings, there are positive people as well as negative people. So, whenever I encounter any problem, I will always have a positive mindset thinking that surely there will be solutions to solve the problem.

57 57 Ultimate Belief #92: Change My Thoughts, Changes My Life Changing of thoughts will eventually lead to changing of life. When your thoughts changes, your beliefs will change. When your beliefs change, your expectations will change. When your expectations change, your attitude will change. When your attitude changes, your behaviour will change. When your behaviour changes, your performance will change. When your performance changes, your life will change. Having this belief, I clearly understood that in order to change my life, firstly I would need to have a clear thought of what I want to do and achieve in life, get the right attitude and work towards my goals. Ultimate Belief #93: Pick Up From My Failures Failures in lives is very common in most of us. However, the most important thing is to know how to pick yourself up and learnt from your failures.

For any failures, I will pick myself up from where and fall and start again to do better the next round. Ultimate Belief #94: Life is Short, Use It Well Human life span is very short and time is the main factor that is very limited. Everyone of us have our own limit of time and unfortunately, time is non-transferrable. Thus, we need to use it wisely and do things that we enjoy doing and do things that are meaningful, living life with no regrets. Sadly, due to the increasing of stress level our society gives us, there s an increase in the number of people chose to end their lives. Life is so precious so why not give it a try to live your life to the fullest. I learnt about the precious of time. I uses my time very wisely, do things that I enjoy doing and pursue the dreams I always wanted to pursue without having any other factors distracting me. I also believe in spending time in helping others to make the world a better place.

58 58 Ultimate Belief #95: Gardening Builds Good Character Greeneries are commonly known to be good for human health, whether is it to improve eye sights or consume them for better health.

There s various news about Mothers in order to save their child from danger, they did something incredible such as carrying a vehicle up or fight with sharks. All these are seems to be human impossibilities in life but in fact, it is actually the limiting beliefs that stop us in doing. Having this belief in mind, I knew that i should not limit my own ability in doing anything. After I tried my first mission impossible which is scuba diving. The next extreme sports I would like to take up is sky diving and I had already book my flight to Sydney to accomplish my second mission impossible in life.

Hardwork and perseverance is required to put in going through all the obstacles before being able to reach destination.

In Singapore, there s a very nice trekking place where we will be able to walk above the tree top. It s called The Tree Top Walk. I went to climbed up to the tree top for about 2hrs on slippery and uneven routes before I m able to see the full view of the tree top.

61 61 hang of it. Some people may take longer time to learn and being able to get things done perfectly. But most importantly we need to have the attitude and mentality of practicing hard.
