25th September 2007

Dear Readers,

Today, I had a thought about my own life and how I want to live it in the near future.

MONEY




I want to have so much money that money is not an issue for me anymore.

Today I took a look at my bank account and it is in a very sorry state! It is in it's single digit and some cents now.

I'm guessing that my bank account is feeling like how I am feeling right now: "HUNGRY"

I am in the fasting month of Ramadhan and it is compulsory for adult muslims to fast. Fasting is to go with out food or water from the break of day to the dawn of night.

Not only is it just food and water, it is also about behaving more pious:
  • Watch what I say, and see, and do, and think!
I cannot have any forms of desire but the desire of obeying God's instructions.

By obeying His decrees and jurisprudence, I then lead a life or taqwa ie 'to be close to God'.

Ironically, I have not felt this hungry until today. And that I have not felt any tiredness like I've felt in past days. Perhaps this is the Compensatory System taking effect.

That if I don't feel hungry, I'll feel tired and that if I feel tired, I won't feel hungry.

I wonder if this will take over from today onwards because 1/3rd of Ramadhan is over.

Ironically too is that the pious muslim will not feel any hunger nor thirst but spiritual fullness in this Holy month.

I think I'll better meditate and reflect about this: Have I been a good Muslim?

"Money is the root of all evils!"

So says the ignorant, or should I say the poor.

Poor in mind, and soul.

To me, money is not the root of all evils but being poor is.

I believe that the term wealth or being wealthy has it's meaning warped.

It is not money that I want but it is what money can do for me.

I cannot eat money and stave off my hunger but I can buy things that I can then eat and make myself full.

Money can also give dreams and hopes come true for the poor and destitute.

TIME

I want to have so much time that I can just feel less anxious that I am running out of time to do things that is useful. Like:
  • Go on a vacation to learn about other people's culture.
  • Go on a pilgrimage to Mecca and complete my 5th religious obligation.
  • Choose to do what ever that I want because time is at hand.
TIME & MONEY

I believe that this is the quintessential need for any man, and woman, and child of this century that once they have enough or abundance of this, they are "free".

Of course, there is another thing that is very important: mindset.

[Mindset = Akhlak?]

What is good if a person has abundant time & money but don't know how to value it and then squander it away.

Easy come, easy go.

Just like the "heroes" of our generation who was once a 'zero' and then became a 'hero' and then back to 'zero' again.

They are the Mike Tyson.

I would prefer to have my zero-to-hero and still remaining a hero because he/she has found himself and found the right purpose of living their life.

They are the Sylvester Stallone. (aka Rocky Balboa)



I want to be the next zero-to-hero man and I want to become someone that my child will look up to me and say: "You are the best father in the world!"

I bet that if I were to hear this one day, I can simply cry out my tears of joy!

Onwards, towards SUCCESS!

A!

What should my Blog site be about?

Dear Readers,

I'm on this crossroad sort of thing and am now stuck about what my blog site should be about?

Should I be specific and just blog about my main focus right now?

Or shall I just blog whatever just comes into my mind?

Hmmm......

I am not a new blogger as I had a few 'publications' from Multiply, Friendster, another Blog-site, etc.

I have just recently decided to start a new one specifically aliefhamdani.blogspot.com because I was thinking about starting a journal-like blog that will record my daily activities whilst I move ever closer to my goal.

Hmmm......


Making money from the internet is what is on my mind nowadays.

I believe that a lot of people who reads blogs of this type DOES think about money everyday isn't it?

And that we just want to find that "MAGIC BULLET" that will enable us to get our millions quickly and effectively.

Is there such a "MAGIC BULLET"?

Maybe.... it depends.

I heard from T. Harv Eker who wrote the Secrets of the Millionaire Mind said in his audio recording:

"Rich people: When they find an opportunity will 'Ready + Shoot + Aim'. Whereas poor people will often 'Ready + Aim + Shoot'."

Interesting philosophy especially when one would think that a bullet is a piece of lead that will only move in a particular direction and is near impossible to GUIDE it once it leaves the gun.

Unless of course that one is using a complex missile system like the TOMAHAWK then it would me 'Read + Shoot + Aim'!

My reasonable mind tells me that what poor people usually gets us a bullet. Perhaps a bullet is too expensive for them so they have only a rock to hit their target.

Hmmm......

Of course, I am now suddenly inspired to post something like why rich people are more effective as compared to poor people.

Well, I believe that this will be my blog for aliefhamdani.blogspot.com :

How I made a DECISION to use the tools available to me via a computer connected to the internet and how I make an income that is VERY comfortable to me.

To put it S.M.A.R.T.-ly: (
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely)

I want to make $10,000.00 per month from my Internet based business by the end of year 2007 based on a business model that someone has done before.

So. Here we GO!!!

My First Posting

My first posting in word form.

Earlier it was a picture and I thought that since it is going to be my Blog, why not put my face so that people can see who Alief Hamdani is.

Actually, I placed my picture on the Posting is because I wanted to use it for my own profile.

Didn't work. How typical.....

So I was resorted to spend a good amount of time to figure out how Blogger helps people who are not so tech savvy or should I say Blogger savvy to get their own personal picture up onto their Profile.

Very frustrating.

The fact is that I am not an inexperience blogger and that I have been on the Internet for decades.

Before using Blogger, I was using Multiply and before that, Friendster and I would say that they are easier to use than Blogger.

BUT.... I decided to use Blogger because of the potential of me earning some kind of income from it.

I'm not sure if that qualify as a good reason to use Blogger or not.

I was contemplating using Wordpress because I bought this product Wordpress Adsense System 1.2 from Gobala Krishnan and it sort of guarantees an income if I were to follow it 'religiously'.

Hmmmmm......

So now my personal 'battle' is Blogger vs Wordpress.

Anyways, this is my second posting and that I am doing this just to get a hang of it.

I have used Blogger before and you can read them at alief72.blogspot.com

Some of you may ask then why a new Blog?

Because this Blog is supposed to be a little more well planned and more serious and MORE focused on what I am about to embark till the end of this year.

It is going to be content rich and serious and like most things that I have planned to do, skewed sometimes to areas that may not be relevant.

That's me anyway....

My third posting may be the really SERIOUS one.

Cheers!
