How to read faster and better

     The author of this book, Franklin Agardy 

is to acknowledge the great reading dynamics

creator, Evelyn Wood. She has created a 

reading method that can help many to read
faster, understand better, remember longer,
learn speedier and think sharper. Here, I
would like to share the essence of this book
that helps me to improve my reading skills.
     First, you have to know your reading speed.
Here is a link to know your reading speed at
words per minute. Those interested to know more,
click here. There are rating in this link as well.
For those who can read more than 600 words
per minute, congratulations. :D
     There are several reading habits that slow a
person reading.
1. You speak each word to yourselves while
reading.
2. You read only one word at a time
3. You backtrack - reread
     So, in order to improve. Break those habits.
Try to read without speaking the words to your-
self and try to read more than one word at a
time. How? Very simple, you just need to start
practicing by using you index finger as pacer
when you read. Use the index finger to glide
through every line you read. Practice by gliding
faster each time you read until you reach a level
that you do not need the finger anymore as you
have built in yourselves a invisible pointer.
     However, by just pointing and read is not
good enough in helping you to understand what
you read. Every books, articles even news have
a title. From the title, set an intention of what you
want to know, what you expect to learn, what are
the data or facts that you need. How? Set an idea
which normally you can get from the title. Then ask
a few simple "how, what, when, who and why
questions. This will help you in finding the answers
as you read through the paragraph. This method is
also useful in helping you to recall what you have
read as well.  (By the way, this is not a good reading
method for novel, story or fiction book, I have to
be honest will you all just like the book is telling me)
     You all must be curious why I blog in such
a method like what is printed in the newspaper.
Evelyn Wood invented this "eye movement cut"
pattern is to aid in reading. Now it has become
the printing standard of all newspaper.
     This is just a very brief summary from the
book. There are too many details in this book
that can really help and guide you in your reading
skills. I am here to share some simple tricks that
can help people to improve in a short period of
time. If you really want to know more, click the

The Secret

I've been wanting to read this book long ago. It's really a great book to read through and I would just summarize what they have in the book. All thanks to my sister for borrowing me this fabulous book.
There are total 10 chapters in this book. Something special of this book from the others is one main author Rhonda Byrne in the book and there are 29 contributors!

Chapter 1: The Secret Revealed
1. The great secret of life is the law of attraction.
2. The law of attraction says like attracts like, so when you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you.
3. Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughts have a frequency. As you think thoughts, they are sent out to the universe, and they magnetically attract all like things that are the same frequency. Everything sent out returns to the source -you.
4. You are like a human transmission tower, transmitting a frequency with your thoughts. if you want to change anything in your life, change the frequency by changing your thoughts.
5. Your current thoughts are creating your future life. What you think about the most or focus on the most will appear as your life.
6. Your thoughts become things.

Chapter 2: The Secret Made Simple
1. The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial as the law of gravity.
2. Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts.
3. To know what you're thinking, ask yourself how you are feeling. Emotions are valuable tools that instantly tell us what we are thinking.
4. It is impossible to feel bad and at the same time have good thoughts.
5. Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you immediately what frequency you are on. When you feel bad, you are on the frequency of drawing more bad things. When you feel good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you.
6. Secret shifters, such as pleasant memories, nature, or your favourite music can change your feelings and shift your frequency in an instant.
7. The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing.

Chapter 3: How To Use The Secret
1. Like Aladdin's Genie, the law of attraction grants our every command.
2. The creative process helps you create what you want in 3 simple steps: ask, believe, and receive.
3. Asking the universe for what you want is your opportunity to get clear about what you want. As you get clear in your mind, you have asked.
4. Believing involves acting, speaking, and thinking as though you have already received what you've asked for. When you emit the frequency of having received it, the law of attraction moves people events, and circumstances for you to receive.
5. Receiving involves feeling the way you will feel once tour desire has manifested. Feeling good now puts you on the frequency of what you want.
6. To lose weight, don't focus on "losing weight." Instead, focus on your perfect weight. Feel the feelings of your perfect weight, and you will summon it to you.
7. It takes no time for the universe to manifest what you want. It is as easy to manifest one dollar as it is to manifest one million dollars.
8. Starting with something small, like a cup of coffee or parking spaces, is an easy way to experience the law of attraction in action. Powerfully intend to attract something small. As you experience the power you have to attract, you will move on to creating much bigger things.
9. Create your day in advance by thinking the way you want it to go, and you will create your life intentionally.

Chapter 4: Powerful Process
1. Expectation is a powerful attractive force. Expect the things you want, and don't expect the things you don't want.
2. Gratitude is a powerful process for shifting your energy and bringing more of what you want into your life. Be grateful for what you already have, and you will attract more good things.
3. Giving thanks for what you want in advance turbo-charges your desire and sends a more powerful signal out into the universe.
4. Visualization is the process of creating pictures in your mind of yourself enjoying what you want. When you visualize, you generate powerful thoughts and feelings of having it now. The law of attraction then returns that reality to you, just as you saw it in your mind.
5. To use the law of attraction to your advantage, make it a habitual way of being, not just a one-time event.
6. At the end of every day, before you go to sleep, go back through the events of the day. Any events or moments that were not what you wanted, replay them in your mind the way you wanted them to go.

Chapter 5: The Secret To Money
1. To attract money, focus on wealth. it is impossible to bring more money into your life when you focus on the lack of it.
2. It is helpful to use your imagination and make-believe you already have the money you want. Play games of having wealth and you will feel better about money; as you feel better about it, more will flow into your life.
3. Feeling happy now is the fastest way to bring money into your life.
4. Make it your intention to look at everything you like and say to yourself, "I can afford that. I can buy that." You will shift your thinking and begin to feel better about money.
5. Give money in order to bring more of it into your life. When you are generous with money and feel good about sharing it, you are saying, "I have plenty."
6. Visualize checks in the mail.
7. Tip the balance of your thoughts to wealth. Think wealth.

Chapter 6: The Secret To Relationships
1. When you want to attract a relationship, make sure your thoughts, words, actions, and surroundings don't contradict your desires.
2. Your job is you. Unless you feel yourself up first, you have nothing to give anybody.
3. Treat yourself with love and respect, and you will attract people who show you love and respect.
4. When you feel bad about yourself, you block the love and instead you attract more people and situations that will continue to make you feel bad about you.
5. Focus on the qualities you love about yourself and the law of attraction will show you more great things about you.
6. To make a relationship work, focus on what you appreciate about the other person, and not you complains. When you focus on the strengths, you will get more of them.

Chapter 7: The Secret To Health
1. The placebo effect is an example of the law of attraction in action. When a patient truly believes the tablet is a cure, he receives what he believes and is cured.
2. "Focusing on perfect health" is something we can all do within ourselves, despite what maybe happening on the outside.
3. Laughter attracts joy, releases negativity, and leads to miraculous cures.
4. Decease is held in the body by thought, by observation of the illness, and by the attention given to the illness. If you are feeling a little unwell, don't talk about it - unless you want more of it. If you listen to people talk about their illness, you add energy to their illness. Instead, change the conversation to good things, and give powerful thoughts to seeing those people in health.
5. Believes about aging are all in our mind, so release those thoughts from your consciousness. Focus on health and eternal youth.
6. Do not listen to society's messages about deceases and aging. Negative messages do not serve you.

Chapter 8: The Secret To The World
1. What you resist, you attract, because you are powerfully focused on it with emotion. To change anything, go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings.
2. You can not help the world by focusing on the negative things. As you focus on the world's negative events, you not only add to them, but you also bring more negative things into your own life.
3. Instead of focusing on the world's problems, give your attention and energy to trust, love, abundance, education, and peace.
4. We will never run out of good things, because there's more than enough to go around for everyone. Life in meant to be abundant.
5. You have the ability to tap into the unlimited supply through your thoughts and feelings and bring it into your experience.
6. Praise and bless everything in the world, and you will dissolve negativity and discord and align yourself with the highest frequency - love.

Chapter 9: The Secret To You
1. Everything is energy. You are an energy magnet, so you electrically energize everything to you and electrically energize yourself to everything you want.
2. You are a spiritual being. You are energy, and energy can not be created or destroyed - it just changes form. Therefore, the pure essence of you has always been and always will be.
3. The universe emerges from thought. We are the creators not only of our own, destiny but also of the universe.
4. An unlimited supply of ideas is available to you. All knowledge, discoveries, and inventions are in the universal mind as possibilities, waiting for the human mind to draw them forth. You hold everything in you consciousness.
5. We are all connected, and we are all one.
6. Let go of difficulties from your past, cultural codes, and social beliefs. You are the only one that can create the life you deserve.
7. A shortcut to manifesting your desires is to see what you want as absolute fact.
8. Your power is in your thoughts, so stay aware. In other words, "remember to remember."

Chapter 10: The Secret To Life
1. You get to feel the blackboard with whatever you want.
2. The only thing you need to do is feel good now.
3. The more you use the power within you, the more power you will draw through you.
4. The time to embrace your magnificence is now.
5. We are in the midst of a glorious era. As we let go of limiting thoughts, we will experience humanity's true magnificence, in every area of creation.
6. Do what you love. If you don't know what brings you joy, ask "what is my joy?" As you commit to your joy, you will attract and avalanche of joyful things because you are radiating joy.
7. Now you have learned the knowledge of the secret, what you do with it is up to you. Whatever you choose is right. The power is all yours.

Speed Wealth

Recently, I just attended a 3 days seminar by T. Harv Eker. The Seminar name is Millionaire Mind Intensive (MMI). From there, I met my friend and she lent me a book name Speed Wealth written by T. Harv Eker. The book only consist of 70 over pages and yet contains a lot of useful information and experience shared by Mr. T. Harv Eker.

In the book Speed Wealth, the author mentioned that there are 8 important principle that lead to success in less than 3 years.
The 1st principle is to develop a speed wealth mindset. Must always position yourself to be willing to learn as the product cycle of Start, Growth, Maturation, Saturation, Decline happen so rapid.

The 2nd principle is to deliver massive value. Demand, Supply, Quality and Quantity defines your value. Demand = how much market wants it. Supply = how much readily available in elsewhere.Quality = how good your products and services. Quantity = how much you deliver your products and services. Make "cloning" of yourself as well.

The 3rd principle is Timing: choose the right business at the right time. Right vehicle at right place and right time. Model a proven winner and improve on it. It's often faster, easier to affiliate with a company that's up running than to start from scratch.

The 4th principle is to systemize. Create a business system (a repeatable process that produces a profit) that you do not work IN it.

The 5th principle is to duplicate. Duplicate to serve bigger market.

The 6th principle is to leverage. Work smart instead of work hard.
Sample of leverage:
1. start with little or no money
2. use other people's talents, skills, contacts, credibility and resources
3. fully utilizing the latest technologies to increase speed and efficiency
4. use the power of media to get millions of dollars of free publicity
5. borrowing celebrity fame for endorsement
6. selling products before you have them, or at least before you have to pay for them
7. expanding business using you customer's or supplier's money
8. getting the best people in the industry to work for you now, for almost "nothing"
9. getting more from your employees by properly training them, treating them well, giving them the space to express their true talents.
10. getting more from yourself, enhancing your business knowledge, developing your personally and increasing you stamina and energy.
11. managing your time more effectively so you do the right things instead of just do the things right.

The 7th principle is cashing out. Start with the end in mind! The 4 enviable choices:
1. keep the business, continue to hands on and make a huge income
or 2. keep the business, cash out your time be delegating the day-to-day affairs and make a huge passive income.
or 3. sell part of the business and become an instant millionaire.
or 4. create a combination of all the above.
Bear in mind that everyone thinks they can do better than you, once they take over! Deal with large successful corporations where a million or 2 is a drop in the bucket!

The 8th principle is to do it now! Practice being happy now! Practice does not make perfect, practice makes permanent. Practice whatever you want to be in future, now. Get money handle! and learn, learn, LEARN!

Read Aesop Fables again when you grow up

When we were kids, our parents and teachers used to read Aesop Fables to us. The very first one that I know of is The ants and the grasshopper. It was the first that I read. For those adults that forgotten the story, it goes like this:

THE ANTS were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime. A Grasshopper, perishing with famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food. The Ants inquired of him, "Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?" He replied, "I had not leisure enough. I passed the days in singing." They then said in derision: "If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter."

Does the story sound familiar to you all? When we were young, we learn these Aesop's short stories. During back then, these stories are cartooned. I admit, when I was young I personally enjoyed watching the pictures or cartoons more than I knowing the moral behind each stories.

There are 100 over short stories being told by Aesop. Not only kids need to read them, I think youngsters and adults now a days also need to go through the stories again, learn and practice the moral conveying behind each stories. When you are grown up, the understanding of each stories will be different from a viewing point as when you are a kid. Go through them every night like your parents use to tell you bed time stories when you are young. I believe you'll enjoy and learn at the same time.

Do go through the book by yourself and you'll learn much much more from there. This is another great book introduce by my friend, Yeow Chuan.

The Tipping Point

I would like to introduce another good book to read -  by Malcom Gladwell. Basically it means How little things can make a big difference as printed on the coverpage.

What the writting is trying to sell in this book is like sometimes, minor things that done can make changes and influence the bigger world. According to the author, there are 3 main factors that can tip the whole situation around. They are:

1. The law of the FEW. The few is basically talking about 3 types of person. They are Connectors (people who has very large contact and network), Mavens (people who is extreme knowledable and interest in many fields) and lastly Salesmen (The persuaders).
2. The Stickiness factor that will makes people stick to it like drugs!
3. The power of Context. How the environment, background, and the surcumstances can change 1 person and lead to change many others.

In my opinion, it is quite true as everything big thing start from a small point. This is widely seen in Fashion!
Eg, if a very small group of super wealthy, trendy ladies start to wear Giordano, the less wealthy will always follow the wealthier as they think they are the one who walks in front of fashion, and start buying Giordano. So the middle classs who mix with the upper middle class will be following and so on. Giordano will become a super brand and end up selling at the same price as Calvin Klein clothes.

Blue in the red ocean

Currently I am reading this book called Blue Ocean Strategy; written by W.Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne.

According to the author, red ocean means the existing market available, which is stagnant, full of competitions and lean profit. Mean while, Blue ocean means create a whole new market from the existing market, with different strategy and some times special focus group or targeting new market flavour. The blue ocean strategy will create a whole new taste for the market without competition and brings great profits.

How to create the blue ocean strategy? Just focus on 4 things; Eliminate, Reduce, Raise and Create.

Recently, I've just finished both books written by Tim Harford.
1st book is The Undercover Economics, revealing the real side of how economy works.
2nd book is The Logic of Life, unveiling how people thinking can influence the economy.

The author seems like a good friend to those freakanomics authors. Keep introducing this book. :D
Hence, i'm reading this book now.

Cashflow quadrant by Robert T. Kiyosaki

The graph above is created by Robert Kiyosaki, the author of a very famous book - Rich Dad Poor Dad. From the graph, there are 4 quadrants which play different model in the financial society. They are classified into left and right quadrant. On the left, there are E (employee) and S (Self-employed) which are the majority of the society. On the other side, there are the B (Business owner) and I (Investor) which is lesser in popularity but control most of the economy. Typically, the left quadrant works for the right and the right pay for the left in term of salary and wages.

Recently, I just finished another great books of Robert - The Cashflow Quadrant. Inside this book, Roberts further elaborate the flowing of the cash under different quadrant. Besides that, people under different side of the quadrant think differently. The left side seek for security while the right side is looking for freedom. Not only that, he also taught us to differentiate what are your liabilities and what are truely your assets. Basic steps have been taught inside the books to guide us run out of the rat race. All begins with YOU and ME.

One great book are introduced by Robert mentioning inside his book. It's written by Napolean Hill - Think and Grow Rich. Without thinking twice, I purchased this book and add in into my collections. (My Harry Potter still have 700 pages to go (-_-") ) Two board games are introduced by him as well. The Monopoly and The Cashflow 101 created by himself. The Monopoly is easy to grab anywhere. The headache part for me is how to get The Cashflow 101 in Malaysia and Singapore.(So far only online purchase which is not wise due to shipping fee) The next question comes in when I've these 2 board games; who is willing to play with me and learn together? Haih....

PS: Cashflow 101 is easy to obtain in US! Anthony Chew, maybe I need your help :P.

The Emotional Intelligent

It's has been a busy week. Last week, my aunt and uncle from Ausie come to Singapore for a short trip and visit. Not only them, a very best friend of mine came to Singapore for job interview and short vacation as well. Lets hurray for Yeow Chuan as he just got offerer to work in Singapore.

I've been borrowing a book from him before I graduate. By accident, I did not noticed that it was all along inside my car. I kept it inside my car for years and I just couldn't finished reading this book - "The Emotional Intelligent". So, before I head back to Penang for chinese new year, I tried to complete it yet I failed to finish the whole book. After coming back to Singapore for a week, I've been a slump. I stop reading in MRT and bus. I was so lazy that week :p. Suddenly, I received a call from him again one day. (Forgot when already) He told me he is coming to Singapore for interview. That is the time where I'm so determined to return what I owed him for years and continue the rest of the chapters. Good enough I managed to complete all before he went back to Penang again.

As a summary, the book is describing our very right side of the human brain which control all the emotional and rational thinking. I found the book very interesting as it taught me how to be rational and optimistic when we are having negative emotional (example: angry, scare, anxious and many more which stimulate our body metabolism and secrete more enzyme in our body). Not only that, the book also taught me how to control and suppress all the negative emotions as all these negative emotions shorten your lifespan, according to researches.

In a nutshell, this book is teaching you on how to grow your EQ. IQ are predetermined but EQ are not. People with high IQ not necessary have high EQ, but all the success people in the world definitely have high EQ.

Train your right brain!

Recently, I've just finish reading the "The Whole New Mind" by Daniel H.Pink. This book described that people are now entering from the "Information age" to a new era which is name as the "Conceptual age".

The fast emerging of the conceptual age are due to 3As; the Abundance, Asia and Automation. Leading nations and big multinational coperate are now diverge their attentions to "right-brained thinker". The "left-brainers" are replaced by the 3 key factors and no longer in the ruling. As our understand, the left brain control our logical and sequential thinking (IQ) while the right brain rules our creativities and emotional thinking (EQ). For the past centuries, the educations have successfully trained alot of "left-brainers" but not the "right-brainers". In the past, people with high IQ are always have a good seat in the society. Only recent years, scientists found EQ which is more important then IQ are what the society is lacking of. Besides EQ, creativity, abstractness and artistically are the keys to the next civilization which is all control under our right brain.

In order to develop our right brain, the author mention 6 different steps we can pratice in our daily living. He named them as the "six senses". In brief, they are:
1. Design - to sketch pictures or drawings.
2. Story - to write sagas or short events.
3. Symphony - to listen on music or look on patterns.
4. Empathy - to be able to understand and indentify others feeling and thinking.
5. Play - to enjoy yourself through laughing or playing games (including the PC games is also healthy for building your right brain :D).

Why we want you to be rich

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Recently, I just finished a book. The title is "Why we wan you to be rich" written by Robert T.Kiyosaki and Donald Trump. It is the first time 2 best seller authors on business and finance join venture to come out another books worth reading.

This book decribes why you need to be rich and what is actually happening in our real world and the future of our world if we do not take action now. They are actually mentioning why the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. If this situation continue, the middle class would diminish in the near future.

Inside this book, it also introduce many other books worth reading. One of them is "A whole new mind" by Daniel H. Pink which is what I bought yesterday and started to read now.

The rest are:"The world is flat" by Thomas Friedman; "The dollar crisis"by Richard Duncan and; "The coming economy collapse"by Stephen Lamb

If you found these books please let me know. :P
