my own boss

my boss is out for about a week, and that means i am my own boss for about a week also. hehehe! i've been listening to this audio books by robert kiyosaki about financial freedom lately. his principles were very good but the disciplines of getting it done and practicing it in the real world is the main obstacle i have to hurdle. the gap between knowing and doing is just too painful to overcome...it really needs desire, decision, and discipline to get to your goals. the audio book was about the four classes of people: employees, self-employees, businessmen, and investors, and of course i belong to that first category. the main point he was driving at is that these people are so different in terms of financial intellegence, emotional intellegence, and systems intellegence in view with money. whichever category you decide to belong would determine your financial freedom. i have read also his book rich dad, poor dad which greatly influenced my thinking and as crazy as it may sound to my coworkers and friends...i decided not to become an employee for the rest of my life.

"get-rich plan"
my friend Lloyd and i were talking last week over coffee about this book by Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich). Hill was a protegee of Andrew Carnegie who was one of the richest person during his time. Andrew Carnegie's principle was to spend the first part of his life accumulating wealth and the second part giving it all away...he later then revealed some of his secrets how he did it. we keep on laughing about the idea of Hill but somehow there were good points about it. we later agreed that the money is just a tool to help other people and one should not be stucked in addiction to it. "where ur treasure is, there ur heart will be also". ,

Lloyd is slated for a mission in Cambodia in a month or two, he was telling me that if it's God's will for him to stay there then he would be willing to give up his career in the government as well. Lloyd is second in rank in the information division, we had the chance to work together before i was transferred to the Regional COmputer Unit. he is already 34, with a stable job and a very promising career, with a beautiful and loving wife, although they were not blessed with a child. in a month or two also he will probably become the new chief of their division if ever the acting chief would be approved for migration in the U.S. wow! i am so inspired and encouraged by the commitment of this guy to leave his comfort zone and do God's work. hmmmm.... ???? :-)
