Which quadrant do you belong?

5 Chinese characters that pronounced similar/same in Cantonese

If you put people into 4 categories, depends on whether they have time or not and whether they have money or not, then some interesting insights can be seen.

First of all, what do you call those people on the top right quadrant who has lots of time and no money?

Do you want to be one of them?

Interesting.





Now, they are not bad at all if you compare to the next quadrant: people who work so hard that they have no time, yet they also do not have much money.

What do you call these people?

Interesting.  I thought slavery were abolished long time ago, why are most of the population still living in this quadrant?

Now, they are also not the worst.  Take a look at those people who run like a rat.

What do you call them?

Lastly, what do you call those people who have both the money and time to live a life they want?

Which quadrant do you want to live?  Tell us by posting in the comment area below.

An interesting question is: if most people want to live in the quadrant where there is plenty of money and free time, why do most people end up not in this quadrant?

If you look at the 5 Chinese characters which sounded almost identical in Cantonese, you see what is causing people to live in each quadrant.

In our top right quadrant, people lack clarity on what they want, why they are here, how to live a life they want.  And instead of proactively go out and search for solutions (hint: Success Playground may be a good starting point), they wait and wait.  So the Chinese character here refers to lack of clarity.

In our top left quadrant, people forget (the first character) that slavery was abolished and they have a choice to be free.  Eventually, they stopped dreaming (the second character).  And if you look at the other two characters which means "work hard", it is written as the force of a slave force (2 forces and a slave).  Got it?  If you work hard for long enough, you are a slave.  Chinese figured this out 5000 years ago.

In our bottom left quadrant, they are busy all the time.  Any bankers here?  Very few, because they are still busy making their clients (mostly people in the bottom right quadrant) wealthier.  Any big corp CEOs?  You got the point.  So the Chinese character here means "busy".

Finally, in the bottom right quadrant when people have money and time, they can't wait for another day to come and their life is full of hope (both use the character).

Now, do you have time and interest to find out more?

See you in our Success Playground.

New year resolution? Are you sick and tired of your own bullshit?

Hi my friends,

It is the beginning of another year.

Have you/are you making your new year resolution?
Or you have looked at your own b/s from past year resolutions and got sick and tired of making another one?  

In either case, here is my suggestion for your 2011.

1.  Work no more than 30 hours a week.  Ideally, do not work, only play.

2.  10x your income.

3.  Live your passion and life purpose every single hour.  That is, 168 hours a week.

4.  If 2011 is your last year in this life time, you have accomplished everything you want to accomplish in your life time.  Of course, you will have your 2012, 2013,... so all those life will be a bonus life for you.  Isn't that great?

5.  Invest in yourself so that at the end of 2011, you are a better person than who you are at the beginning of the year.  And as a result of you, the world has become a better place as well.

Sounds good?  Then go live and accomplish every one of them.

Impossible?  Then make it "I'm Possible!". 

Cheers and happy new year.

P.S.  If you are seriously curious where to start to get your 2011 a truly magical year, come to WINK Readers WINK Leaders gathering.  This is where I started to discover wealth beyond my previous imagination and now, as a contribution to the world, I am sponsoring YOU to come and experience it.  I pay for food and venue and I want NOTHING from you.
