I decided to revamp my site howtze.com in November 2023, to focus only on travel-related content - bucket lists and footprints . While it started with a strike of " Enough watering other's garden. It is time to water your own garden. ", the process reminds me of pruning bonsai . There are 2 important points to keep in mind: Clarity leads to power Knowledge is power.  Applied knowledge is real power Clarity leads to power. Quantifiable, measurable, graphical elements bring more clarity. How did it start? This has to be traced back to early 2023. I made a New Year resolution to travel overseas, as 2022 was mostly traveling to Sarawak, Borneo for business purposes (Miss Tourism International 2022). Personal resolution 2023: 1) Stay lowkey 2) Make money  3) Travel monthly  Then, the resolution (rather than simply calling it a wish) evolves: Go overseas. ✅ Go overseas every month. Go overseas every month, at least one week per trip. Go overseas every month, at least one we

迈克尔•戴尔与美国学生创业明星座谈笔录

去实践，去着手做事。如果你等待别人教你成为创业者，你就不是一个创业者。 技能可以学习。它是让你走出去做出不凡之事的驱动力和雄心。我们任何人都可以成为医生。我们任何人都可以做律师。但只有自强自立的志气——即使在困难的时刻——让我们与众不同。 如果把你置于一个有机会快速学习，并且必须学会成功的环境的话，你的学习过程就会快得惊人。 创业是一种激情，因为你心甘情愿地为创业而学习，它成了你生活的一个重要部分。如果你不喜欢创业，你就不可能成为学生创业者。 我完成工作，因为我乐在其中。它不是一项任务。 我过去，并且直到今天仍然遵循的原则是非常简单的。我擅长什么？我不擅长什么？我如何让可能是最棒的人来帮助我做我不擅长的事情？我并不想尝试亲自动手做一切事情。 在你的公司规模还小的时候，基本上一切都是未知的，你没有资本，你还年轻，会有一些唯利是图的人来为你工作。因为这时候风险与回报都相当高。 你必须建立一个面对挑战也能够发展下去的制度。也可能有一些人会做出不同的决定。他们说，我们只打算以我们人能成长的速度成长。好吧。你可能最终仍然是一家非常小的公司。你用的人不对。 如果业务增长速度超过人的成长速度，而现在是你最好的朋友在做这项工作，可他已经没有能力做好，你是要做出一个感性决定还是理性决定呢？这不是私人问题。这是业务问题。如果你雇佣朋友，你要准备好解雇他们。 我认为你必须确定你要寻求什么样的生活。 的确有挑战，但我觉得这些挑战不见得与年轻且快速取得巨大成功有必然的联系。你会受到想从你这里渔利的人们的攻击。我必须要学会保护自己不受他们的侵害。这些人中谁是我的朋友，谁只是想从我这得到好处？结果发现有很多人就是想从我这里渔利。而且，我越成功，他们想得到的东西就越多。 领导者必须乐观。这是很重要的一点，我已经学到了一些：你会发现自己处于完全无所适从的境地，而且你的手上是一堆乱麻。这时如果你不给你的属下指明前进的方向，如果你不知道路在何方，那么用不了多久你就得歇业。因为大家都依赖于你。你必须想出办法，制定计划。这就是领导的职责。 我觉得，不利用社交媒体是很荒唐的事情，因为在与客户交流和分享信息方面，社交媒体是精髓工具。你可以通过它把你的信息直接传播给大量的客户和大量的潜在用户。而且社交媒体发展极其迅猛。 内容的深度对自然搜索有很大影响。所以，如果你有深度的内容——有可能来

How You Can Survive When The Oil Price & EVERYTHING Increase But Not Your Income!!! The chart below shows the increment of petrol price since 1st May 2004 from RM1.37 per litter up all the way to RM2.70 per litter on 5th June 2008! It is an increase of RM0.78 or 40%! What does this mean to you? “Everything will become more & more expensive!” But, will you be able to earn fast enough to keep up with the escalating cost of living in Malaysia...??? We can only see the poor get poorer and the rich will only get richer and richer… But WHY??? Is there a Hope? Or… Is there anything the rich do that the poor is not doing??? If you want to become rich and richer, are you willing to do what the rich do? The rich move very fast, unlike the poor move very slow or just wait! The end result, the poor become poorer and end up paying more for their ‘life’ because they are too slow or choose not to change at all. The rich become richer because they are always become the 1st person who is willi
