The Business of the 21st Century

The cashflow quadrant represents the different methods by which a cash income
is generated. For example, an employee earns money by holding a job and working
for someone else or a company. The self-employed are people who earn money
working for themselves, either as solo operators or through their own small business.
A business owner owns a large business (typically defined as 500 employees or more)
that generates money. Investors earn money from their various investments—in other
words, money generating more money.
E = Employee
S = Self-employed or Small-business owner
B = Business owner

Seven Cures For a Lean Purse[edit]

  1. The First Cure: Start thy purse to fattening.[15]
    Arkad advises on saving 10% of your annual income to start building up your wealth (or purse): "For every ten coins thou placest within thy purse take out for use but nine. Thy purse will start to fatten at once and its increasing weight will feel good in thy hand and bring satisfaction to they soul".[3][15]
  2. The Second Cure: Control thy expenditures.[15]
    Arkad advises against luxury expenditures that ultimately become confused as necessities: "The gold we may retain from our earnings is but the start", and, "What each of us calls our 'necessary expenses' will always grow to equal our incomes unless we protest to the contrary", and, "Confuse not the necessary expenses with thy desires".[3][15]
  3. The Third Cure: Make thy gold multiply.[15]
    Arkad advises to invest and to compound the investment return from these savings: "The earnings it will make shall build our fortunes ... Learn to make your treasure work for you. Make it your slave. Make its children and its children's children work for you".[3][15]
  4. The Fourth Cure: Guard thy treasures from loss.[15]
    Arkad advises against taking a risk of loss and investing get-rich-quick schemes: "Is it wise to be intrigued by larger earnings when thy principal may be lost? I say not. The penalty of risk is probable loss. Study carefully, before parting with thy treasure, each assurance that it may be safely reclaimed. Be not misled by thine own romantic desires to make wealth rapidly".[3][15]
  5. The Fifth Cure: Make of thy dwelling a profitable investment.[15]
    Arkad advises buying versus renting your principal residence, and using your residence to establish a business: "I recommend that every man own the roof that sheltereth him and his", and, "Nor is it beyond the ability of any well-intentioned man to own his home".[3][15]
  6. The Sixth Cure: Insure a future income.[15]
    Arkad advises on having a pension and future retirement income: "Therefore do I say that it behooves a man to make preparations for a suitable income in the days to come, when he is no longer young, and to make preparations for his family should he be no longer with them to comfort and support them".[3][15]
  7. The Seventh Cure: Increase thy ability to earn.[15]
    Arkad advises to keep developing your own skills to increase your investing wisdom and also to increase your earnings power: "The more of wisdom we know, the more we may earn", and, "That man who seeks to learn more of his craft shall be richly rewarded".[3][15]

The Five Laws of Gold[edit]

  1. The First Law of Gold. Gold cometh gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.[15]
    Arkad's advice here is very similar the First Cure, which is that saving is the start to building wealth.[2][15]
  2. The Second Law of Gold. Gold laboreth diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.[15]
    Arkad's advice here is very similar the Third Cure, which is that these savings can themselves growth and compound your wealth.[2][15]
  3. The Third Law of Gold. Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.[15]
    Arkad's advice here is similar the Fourth Cure, which is about being patient and having a long-term view.[2][15]
  4. The Fourth Law of Gold. Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.[15]
    Arkad's advice here is about investing in what you know about and understand.[2][15]
  5. The Fifth Law of Gold. Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.[15]
    Arkad's advice here is about avoiding get-rich-quick or very aggressive wealth creation strategies.[2][15]

My Journal - Life Changing Secrets from the Three Masters of Success


If you are one of those who believe that hard work and honesty, alone, will bring riches, perish the thought! It is not true!
Riches, when they come in huge quantities, are never the result of hard work! Riches come, if they come at all, in response to definite demands, based upon the application of definite principles and not by chance or luck.


Organised Planning: The Crystallisation of Desire into Action


  • everything that is created or acquired, begins in the form of desire, that desire is taken on the first lap of its journey, from the abstract to the concrete, into the workshop of the imagination, where plans for its transition are created and organised.

how to build plans which will be practical:

  • Form allies yourself with a group of as many people as you may need for the creation and carrying out of your plan, or plans for the accumulation of money-making use of the ‘Master Mind’ principle
  • Before forming your ‘Master Mind’ alliance, decide what advantages and benefits, you may offer the individual members of your group, in return for their cooperation. No one will work indefinitely without some form of compensation. No intelligent person will either request or expect another to work without adequate compensation, although this may not always be in the form of money.
  • Arrange to meet with the members of your ‘Master Mind’ group at least twice a week and more often if possible, until you have jointly perfected the necessary plan or plans for the accumulation of money.
  • Maintain perfect harmony between yourself and every member of your ‘Master Mind’ group. If you fail to carry out this instruction to the letter, you may expect to meet with failure. The ‘Master Mind’ principle cannot obtain where perfect harmony does not prevail. Keep in mind these facts:
  •   You are engaged in an undertaking of major importance to you. To be sure of           success, you must have plans that are faultless. 
  •    ​You must have the advantage of the experience experience, education, native ability and imagination of other minds. This is in harmony with the methods followed by every person who has accumulated a great fortune.

A QUITTER NEVER WINS – AND – A WINNER NEVER QUITS.



Desire, transformed into its monetary equivalent, through the principles laid down here, is the agency through which money is ‘made.’ Money, of itself, is nothing but inert matter. It cannot move, think or talk, but it can ‘hear’ when one who desires it, calls it to come!



THE MAJOR ATTRIBUTES OF LEADERSHIP

The following are important factors of leadership:

 1.​Unwavering courage based upon knowledge of self and of one’s occupation. No follower wishes to be dominated by a leader who lacks self-confidence and courage. Such a leader very long will dominate no intelligent follower.

2.​Self-control People, who cannot control themselves, can never control others. Self-control sets a mighty example for one’s followers, which the more intelligent will emulate. 

3.​A keen sense of justice Without a sense of fairness and justice, no leader can command and retain the respect of his or her followers. 

4.​Decision-maker People who waver in decisions, shows that they are not sur of themselves. They cannot led others successfully. 

5.​Planner The successful leader must plan the work, also work the plan. A leader, who moves by guesswork, without practical, definite plans, is comparable to a ship without a rudder. Sooner or later it will land on the rocks

6. The habit of doing more than paid for. One of the penalties of leadership is the necessity of willingness of the leaders, to do more than they require from followers. 

7.​ A pleasing personality No slovenly, careless person can become a successful leader. Leadership calls for respect. Followers will not respect leaders who do not grade high on all of the factors of a pleasing personality. 

8.​Sympathy and understanding Successful leaders must be in sympathy with their followers. Moreover, they must understand them and their problems. 

9.​Mastery of detail Successful leadership calls for mastery of details of the leader’s position.

 10.​Willingness to assume full responsibility Successful leaders must be willing to assume responsibility for the mistakes and the shortcomings of their followers. If they try to shift this responsibility, they will not remain leaders. If followers make mistakes and become incompetent,
incompetent, it is the leader who has failed. 

11.​Cooperation Successful leaders must understand and apply the principle of cooperative effort and be able to induce followers to do the same. Leadership calls for power, which calls for cooperation.

HOW TO GET THE EXACT POSITION YOU DESIRE


First Decide exactly what kind of a job you want. If the job doesn’t already exist, perhaps you can create it.

Second Choose the company or individual for whom you wish to work.

Third Study your prospective employer as to policies, personnel and chances of advancement.

Fourth By analysis of yourself, your talents and capabilities, figure what you can offer. Plan ways and means of giving advantages, services, developments, along with ideas that you believe you can successfully deliver.

Fifth Forget about ‘a job.’ Forget whether or not there is an opening. Forget the usual routine of ‘have you got a job for me?’ Concentrate on what you can give.

Sixth Once you have your plan in mind, arrange with an experienced writer to help you put it on paper in neat form, with full detail.

Seventh Present it to the proper person with authority to make the decision.

To All Married Couples and Singles Who Intend To Get Married


When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man!
That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; I had lost my heart to a lovely girl called
Dew. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, 30% shares of my company and the car. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly.
Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn’t have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did
not care so I turned over and was asleep again.
In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn’t want anything from me, but needed a month’s notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a months time and she didn’t want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.
This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.. She requested that everyday for the month’s duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy.
Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.
I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said
scornfully. My wife and I hadn’t had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy.. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don’t tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset..
I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest.. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn’t looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what
I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me; she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart.
Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head. Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it’s time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife
gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.
But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn’t noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office… jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind… I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.
She looked at me, astonished. Then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I
won’t divorce.. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn’t value the details of our lives, not because we didn’t love each other any more.. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death does us apart.
Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote:
‘I’ll carry you out every morning until death do us apart’
The small details of our lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, the property, the bank balance that matters. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse’s friend and do those little things for
each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!
If you don’t share this, nothing will happen to you, but if you do, you just might save a marriage.
Relationships are made not to exploit, not to be broken.
We teach some by what we say
We teach some more by what we do
But we teach most by what we are
You don’t get to choose how you are going to die, or when, but, you can decide how you are
going to live, here and now.

“My opinion may have changed, But not the fact that I am Right”

Relationships are made not to exploit, not to be broken.

We teach some by what we say
We teach some more by what we do
But we teach most by what we are

You don’t get to choose how you are going to die, or when, but, you can decide how you are
going to live, here and now.

critics

It is not the critic who counts ; not the man who points out how the strong man , or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood ; who strives valiantly ; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming ; but who does actually strive to do the deeds ; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions ; who spends himself in a worthy cause ; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat
