What We Are Living For

They say the attitude of successful person are their integrity, they treasure, they are always grateful, diligent and they remain honest. This are traits people don't notice and don't talk about.

But how many people has forgotten the above. Alot of time, people told me they want to be rich. But how much money then would they consider they are rich? Have they also put in hard work?

We have came across people who did not put in effort like the rest of his peers, but yet get the promotion or pay rise.

Some say they work very hard but nothing seem to be going for them. But what do they mean when they claim they have work hard? We have seen people who run around events to events, saying they are "networking" with potential clients but after months of it, no sales came in. So is it "networking" or "partying"?

Remember your boss or manager who asked you to help with an important project for him and to be completed within a tight deadline? How many actually acknowledge your hardwork? Or worst, not even saying a word of "thank you"? But you are diligent and also grateful that they employed you in the 1st place, so does that make you more successful than they are??

The important thing to note here - learn how to protect yourself from other people.

There are incidences of unethical & unscrupulous rich people around and how many have suffered from their act? When you act with integrity, your customers, colleagues and staff will place their trust in you. They know that you mean, what you say and that you will not let them down. Remember that it takes a lifetime to build and only a second to lose.


Having purpose, the above attitude and living in the present moment rather than regretting the past or worrying about the future need constant reminder. Whilst external things can bring us great pleasure, it seems that the pleasure can be quite temporary and leaves us wanting more, because we adapt very quickly to our new circumstances.

Remember the important essence in life and also what we are living for.
