Its time

Thanks to a really thought-provoking conversation, I am finally ready to write about how I feel instead of giving you cryptic entry after entry which you will never figure out anyway.

I'm an atheist. I do not believe in God or any forms of god. I do not believe in a higher power of any sort.

I was at these crossroads at one point in my life where I could go either way, and I honestly opened myself to it. I've been to temple a good number of times, I've talked to a million people about religion and have thought about this for more than half my life. I remember I was about 7 when I first started thinking about this concept of God and asked myself if I genuinely believed in it, as I was given the choice and knew that people either believed or didn't. I wasn't bought up in a way to believe and to be educated that there is God and I should worship Him.

The only reason I'm so closed to the concept of God now is that the period of thinking was over. At one point I could go any way, and a slight influence might have turned me from a skeptic to a hardcore believer. But it didn't. And I've had at least 8 good years of my life to think about that and it was then I made my decision. I don't believe.

I see the strength religion brings to people. Given a situation where my memory was completely erased and I had to choose between believing and not believing, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to choose to believe. I see how powerful it is and how beneficial it can be. But that doesn't make it any easier for me to believe in it.

At this point, because my mind's been so set on the fact that there is no God for me, it would take something monumental to change it. I'd admit here that finding a single flaw in my argument would be the first step towards this change. But I haven't found one yet, no matter how many times I've argued/disagreed/disputed with others. My self-confidence in most issues may be shit but this is the one thing I would lay my life upon.

And today I still await for an argument that would make me pause for even a second to doubt myself or struggle to look for an answer. I've channeled so much of my thinking on this subject and everything I have to say is at my fingertips, which is why I am this confident.

First of all, to the people who would like to give me the millions of examples of things that can't be proven by science or logic, let me stop you there. My reasoning is simple. The absence of something does not necessarily prove the presence of something else. There have only been scientific theories regarding how everything was created, and all attempts at scientific explanation are at the very least flawed. But that does not in any way prove that God was the answer to it. My logic is not that there is always a logical explanation to everything, but that you cannot conclude that God is the answer just because you couldn't find a logical explanation. Life is not a multiple choice question where you can eliminate possibilities of answers out because the possibilities are endless.

So if you are going to give me a million examples of things that haven't been explained by science, allow me to stop you there and say I'm well aware of that, I concede on the fact, but it still does not necessarily prove that God is the answer.

I used to believe. There wasn't a significant event that made me change my mind, but in a sense I sort of 'grew out' of the belief. The more I learnt about logical reasoning, the more I felt less inclined to believe in something just because I didn't have the answers I needed. There are so many things in life that would be simpler for me right now if I just believed and stopped questioning it. But I can't possibly force myself to. Not for anyone. Not even for me.

I'm close to so many people who believe in God in their own ways, and in a way I do feel really sorry for those who genuinely want me to believe because they want me to live a better life. But I feel the need to tell you all that this is my stand for now. I'd like to see the day I'm proven wrong, but I realistically don't see it happening. Ever. If you think I have a perception that's too closed and have blocked Him out, then you may be right, because I've spent too much of my life leaving myself open to it but nothing has changed in that long period of time for me to accept and believe. Thus I remain this way.

Sorry.

Art of War(Chapter 2) - 4 quadrants
4 Quadrant is where you would lead a mindset of people into positive side.
With proper presentation of 4 quadrants, one who was anti-mlm, heard of score-A, failure would initially turn positive. So please learn well :)
Please remember "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" written by Robert Kryosaki, he actually stated out 4 quadrant on how a successfull business can be done.
1st Quadrant - Employee
Result - Prospect will understand employee's life is unfavorable.
Ask your prospect how much is his salary? or allowance? Does that enough? Planning forward for next stage of life? You must come out with a number(salary), increase it, do a budget, increasing rate.
2nd Quadrant - Self employed
Result - Prospect will understand self employed isn't an appropriate choice and have to work hard to cover all administration, salary and advertisement cost in order to start generating profit. Also, in this quadrant, you may reckon which package he/she can afford.
Capital(administration cost)- Rm100k, Rm10k(6888), Rm5k(2488), Rm1k(796)
Salary(Salary expenses)
Strategy(Advertisement cost)
Summarize both 1 and 2 - work hard
Summarize both 3 and 4 - work smart
Do you want to work smart or work hard?
3rd Quadrant - Business
Result - Prospect will understand there's only one thing that can achieve their dream which is business(working as an employee or self employed will never get him/her to buy their dream car in short time). Only networking is available for student to earn a lot of money in short time.
4th Quadrant - Investment
Result - MLM(Multi Level Marketing) is a concept additional to a business(a pen you are holding is a product, but with one product, you cannot earn money, but with marketing plan, you can earn alot alot of money, thats what MLM means)
"In Malaysia, there are 700++ mlm companies, for example Amway and Cosway. Although we are MLM, but we are not doing direct sales and totally different from others, so lets carry on with the product"
If prospect is in the workforce, who has years of working experience, you may straightforward to 4th Quadrant.
If he feel insulted, use whatever it costs to stay him/her. Please remember, if a prospect meeting you, HE/SHE NEEDS MONEY!! so just say this:
"if today you come out, you are in need of money, you want to earn a lot of money in long term profit, you wan to get rid of employee life, ONLY MLM CAN HELP YOU!!!! What kind of MLM, you have to see what kind of companies, companies see what kind of product, product needs to see how far is the potential market, may you just listen to our product?" - Settled
"Speak as fast and clear as you can, so prospect has nothing to say."
p/s 1:
Congrates to our lovely Amelia Ang - first place of KMC
Congrates to our leader Adele Chow - Top income earner
Congrates to Tan Chee Lim and Lim Yong Hao for getting into top 30 star distributors of the month. You efforts will not be wasted.
p/s 2: Send your people for training, preferable English training(Sunday). To those who had attended training, send them for BLT(Bonafide Leadership Training).
p/s 3: Guys, remember, no one fails under Brandon's team. In Bonafide, we fight fight fight. Fight for our financial freedom. We must graduate with style, graduate with 6 figures in our account, drive our dream car to our graduation ceremony. In Bonafide, we trust :)
p/s 4: Coming appointments, you all have to present 4 quadrants to me. Thank you.

#17 None

I don't involve myself in a lot of things for one simple reason. The impact isn't worth it, for the amount of effort I put in.

That's been my perception for so long that I even apply it to friends nowadays. I've been very close to a lot of people at many points in my life but have lost contact with pretty much all of them. I'm not blaming them. But I'm not blaming myself either. Why get emotionally affected by something that would not have actual significance to my future?

This is the way I've looked at things after a certain point in my life and that's when I became care-free about...well, just about everything in my life. No matter how down I get because of something SERIOUS, I know to learn to accept it and move on. And when something slightly short of serious happens, I brush it aside.

As a result, I give most people advice along these lines when they turn to me for help. Just forget about it. Think about the times you were embarrassed because you couldn't answer a question in class, or because you didn't do your homework and you were humiliated. Do you even remember any of those situations now? Yet, at that point, it was probably the most important thing to you and you couldn't get over it for days.

I don't know if what I'm saying is getting through to any of you but I just want to say this: Fuck it. Let life take its course and whatever happens, don't let it get in the way of your happiness.

Whether someone did something wrong or right is impossible to tell because we don't know for sure what wrong or right is. Whether someone deserves what they got is not something for us 'mortals' to decide. So let it be. Life is full of people who do the most fucked up things in the world yet succeed over everyone else; as well as great people who have hard lives and die young. Accept it. Life is unfair. Just make sure you live your life to the fullest and don't spend the whole of it whining about how lucky others have been.

I can tell you this. I quite frankly couldn't give a shit. I don't care who's right or wrong. Some people did messed up things, some people didn't. But who cares? In 5 days this will all be over and half of us will forget about the things that happened. In a few months, I won't see 99% of the people I see here everyday. And for this reason I won't hold grudges against anyone for anything that they have done because it has literally no effect on my future. That's why it's practically impossible to get on my bad side - because I don't have one.

What really remains is that we are in charge of our own lives and we're here to enjoy it and make the best out of it. Single, or poor, or in terrible health, or planning to destroy mankind, or spending your last moments choking on a bottle cap; just do what you feel you've been put on this earth for, and don't let tiny things get in the way of your happiness.

#16 Gender?

There's no such thing as gender superiority. Who you are today wasn't pre-determined by your gender. It's the easy way out to generalize and classify people's characteristics according to their gender, but it's NOT the answer.

#15 A MAN

As a man,

Know your fault, correct it and improve but NEVER admit fault! ~ 3 kingdoms (CAO CAO)

#14 Art of War

Best friend:
May straightforward to them, seek for trust, be sincere. Emphasize on friendship before getting upperhand. Best friend usually contribute alot in "Rejection list"

Primary and Secondary friend:
Ice breaking session(1 or 2 days) - put yourself in their shoes.
Friend: "hi, so what are you doing now?"
You: "nothing la, study in (uni), doing some part time job loh, earning like 500-1000 per week"
Friend: "wah so much, what job? i want i want"

"Sorry i may only be allowed to disclose further information when meeting face to face"

p/s Situation may differ and you may decide on how to remain your conversation. Always be the more superior one.

Art of presentation
Intro yourself - shake hand(confident)
Language - Mix some languages to decorate your presentation.
Relax - to make your prospect comfortable.
Body language - to make your presentation more interesting.
Ask more question - to put them in your shoes.
Give more example(make yourself ^.^) - to make your presentation understandable.
Smile and appoint some jokes - to initiate positive mindset.

Whoever of you wish to learn presentation, may call me for a session :)

Leaders/presenter behaviour:
Never judge your prospect(they can be poor, low self esteem, stingy), trust me, when it comes to money, the hunger of people will appear.
Always listen to your leader(always remember your leader will always help you for mutual benefit, leader's command is crucial).
Always help your downline(bonding, make them feel loved).
Never do presentation with more than 3 prospects, if more, bring to preview.
Whenever your leader text you, always think twice before reply. (imagine your downline said the same to you, what would you think?"
Always stand for rejections, the more it is, the more you have to prove them wrong.

Line Structure:
Leader: The one who direct you for appointments (May not be the one who brought you in)
Upline: Could be the one who brought you in, might not be your leader. Your upline is your business partner.
Downline: Ppl you brought or under you. You might not know all of them. Categorize your own team and only response to your own team and partners
Sideline: Ppl who is not related to you and do not contribute to your structure but both serving same leader or upline. May meet when called upon meeting, must respect each other.

Good Luck PEEPS.
In Bonafide, we fight.
Heybutt!!!
