here's my simplest take

1. Break your own delusions
-realize the past or future is not important anymore, focus on current steps to go where you want and you have to firmly believe it (even though your current self will not allow you to do so)
-You can hope the result(s) of whatever you're doing, but if you too focused on that, your present moment quality will drop and eventually you may not get what you desired.

2. Reduce greeds of life
-you can yearn for all the success like money, fame and women. But always observe yourself whether you get carried away by the intoxication of these impermanent factor(s)

3 You are already good enough since you're born
**this one is very hard to believe since everybody around you including your own parents told you ain't good enough. Don't believe their bullshit, find your own strengths and embrace weakness along the trial and errors.

4) if you have worries in current moment, focus back on your six senses
-Eyes
-Ears
-Nose
-Mouth
-Body
-Will

These are the receptors that engineer your initial thoughts
refine and cleanse that one thought as possible because it will create the following cause and effects

Sekian.

If you don't know whom you're
then it doesn't matter much who you meet
cause these people don't even recognize you in long term
what it matters is how we able to perform in various situations

Oh that is not true. The moment you go up to them and stay humble yourself - they can tell that you are genuine and will be willing to share. Many successful people are not selfish

1) Take opportunities whenever it arises.
2) Accept uncertainty. There is a form of risk of the unknown that comes by trying to be successful, yet this is the price of being world-class or going far...
3) Health is wealth... This doesn't mean you have to spend a lot to improve your lifestyle, but moreso to exercise regularly... It can mean running, or going out to exercise by walking more, or doing plain ol' calisthenics...

Having that said, I always challenge the Malaysian status quo... As you may have already know, Randstad released a data centred to our country being the most toxic to work in Asia-Pacific... Which spells volume how bad our emotional behaviour is at work.. Mainly because we consume food whenever we are stressed out instead of exercising....

I work for an Australian public-listed MNC for the time-being (I job hop every few years) and I can tell you in full honest truth that their population and professionalism far exceed ours, and it's released by their Bureau of Statistics that their people work out day-in and day-out... They are way healthier than us by a margin...

Source: abs.gov(dot)au/statistics/health/health-conditions-and-risks/physical-activity/latest-release

4) Journal down and focus on yourself... No matter the conditions, do what others do not, and do not listen to others.... You have to fail, and go through trial and error by your tabulation of data to know what is right and wrong...

5) Never make emotional decisions... Take risks / business opportunities based on what you see and know through facts, and it is okay to be slow... Be meticulous in your research to increase your chances of making money (if that is your form of success)...

6) Be consistent... And consistency doesn't mean having the same output daily... It means showing up no matter how you feel to perform your tasks... Whether at your worst of days, or the mediocre ones, you are showing up and putting effort to change...

7) No need to fear nor stress out...

4) the issue is most people will over calculate their input vs the rewards they will be getting. Hence their logics will generate the anxiety frustration etc cause a lot of times the results will not match with our expectations. This is part of delusion

5) there are a lot of youngsters want to make fast money being ah long or a scammer. He or she maybe enticed by the temporary of the note figure but in the long run it will manifest a dark force inside their subconscious mind. These people can be highly calculative and ruthless as well

People do not understand that they have to go through trials and tribulation to be successful... It is a learning curve; your learning curve... Much like how to drive safely in the long-run...

Do you know when customers walk in the door to visit your shop?

Does a sailor know when the sails would be good?

Can you predict where the market will go?

Anyone who says yes are scam artists...

No matter how logical you can be, no matter how much you assess, there is always a form of uncertainty as a risk... And this is what separates very successful business people and spot market traders...

Anyhow, if you are good at something ----- whether mobile games, art, acting, card games, pc gaming, car-maintaining, etc, go far and just do your best... that's all that matters..

I know a school mate in politics, who will know him. But I don't see any value in doing so. Others might but not me

indeed, showing up everyday and doing the so called "boring" task that makes our dopamine deteriorating. The nature has separated the mass from the best.

8) Be an obsessive....

9) Have less distraction...

10) Go all-in... This aligns with both 8. and 9... Going all-in is a function that you are ready to immerse yourself into a leap of faith... By going all-in, you will try every single possibilities in order to try and go as far as you can... And going all-in can only be achieve if you have controlled risk (don't put yourself in financial / mental / physical jeopardy), and where you do not have other forms of distractions in life...

Distraction can mean flirting with women...

It can mean wasting your time on hobbies that don't yield much...

It can mean cutting down on other forms of entertainment/pastimes, which is a big killer by procrastinating...

When Honda started his automotive business, he went all-in into automotive... He didn't sell roti canais, candy on the sidelines and all that... Which is why diversification is an institutional bank / smart money concept to sell the average folks...

11) Be technical in a field... And really be good at it... Only when you know the ins and outs of the field will you transcend to have a competitive edge... It offers you a continuous unique selling proposition / selling point that keeps you ahead of your competitors... A continuous USP because people may copy you eventually, but you need to maintain to stay ahead of the game... This aligns with being an obsessive...

These are all the tips I apply... Cheers to become successful equally...

Yes hence there’s seriously zero benefit in knowing someone.
