Happiness lies within your heart. Let go of all negative thoughts and look deep into your heart. There you will find a message: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT. 

1. Change your thought process. If you catch yourself thinking that things aren’t going to work out, then think again. Remember that most things work out better than you fear - so imagine that your fears are ungrounded and that success is ahead. Rather than thinking of the problems and getting desperate, imagine the best outcome and then work out what you need to do to make that happen. Follow your "inner guidance system." If the thoughts you are thinking are not giving you a good feeling, then think about something else that will make you feel good in that moment. Monitor your thoughts consistently throughout the day. Sometimes this may not be as easy as you think if you are stuck in a "negative" train of thought and your brain chemicals are getting fired up and forming an "anxiety or anger" pathway. Anxiety, fear and anger patterns can be interrupted by focusing on doing a math problem, counting backwards, counting in odd numbers, doing a sudoku puzzle, etc. - this will dissipate the rush of chemicals that are making you feel bad. Immediately then go back to picturing scenes/remembering things/imagining, planning stuff that makes you feel good
2. Volunteer and learn to be a giver. It is possible giving time and resources to others who need them will contribute more to your happiness and positive outlook on life than most anything else. The key to successful family relationships is sacrificing time for others. Give of your time to your spouse and give yourself up for him/her. Devote time and resources to your children and recognize they are your most valuable worldly asset. The happiest days of our lives, when we really dig down deep, is when we see the smile on the face of a child who has nothing and you have given them something of immense value to them such as reading them a book, it means you love them enough to give of your time. Serve at a rescue mission and you will learn the meaning of "I cried because I had no shoes and then I saw a man who had no legs." Give and it will be given unto you. Isn’t it true the happiest people we know are typically the ones who for some foolish reason are always ready to give you the clothes off of their back? And frequently it is true that the most discontented people are the ones who are selfish, demanding, and inconsiderate of others. So form the habit of being a Big Giver and you will know one of the secrets to successful happy living
3. See the world for what it really is. You have friends and family that love you. Learn How to be thankful. Think of all the things you have to be happy about. Relax, calm down, take things slower. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears. We cannot change the past, but we can enjoy today, and look to the future. But if we are prepared to take credit for the past and accept that everything that happened in our life, good and bad, has made us the person we are - the battle is half won
4. Lighten up. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Stress can cause many mental, physical, and spiritual problems in your life. One of the major causes of stress is worrying about things that are out of your control. Learn to recognize these things and if you can truly do nothing about them, then just let them go. Take time to laugh at yourself and the situations you find yourself in. Laughter is a powerful, positive medicine and the calmer and more peaceful you can take things, the happier your life will be
5. Be yourself. You can’t please everybody. Don’t let criticism worry you. Don’t compare yourself to other people – at work or in your personal life. In the first place, no one knows what other people are going through. More importantly, when you compare yourself to other people, you always tend to see yourself on the "short end". So this is never a good or helpful thing for you to do. One way to get in touch with yourself is through journaling. The goal is to open up completely to yourself and learn to be your best friend by knowing that the truth (to yourself) will set you free from fear! Practice self-acceptance no matter what. Never do something you’re not comfortable with. You’ll respect yourself for sticking to your guns, and that self-respect will make you happy
6. Develop a strong relationship with your family. That includes trust. If you are in an abusive family, you must find a way to stop the abuse that may include separation. If you want a stronger relationship with your family, you’re going to need to be honest with them. Tell your family about your life and don’t insult them - it hurts them just as much as it hurts you to be insulted
7. Choose the right companion. Get involved with activities that reflect who you are, and get to know people who like the things you do. Don’t rule out the Internet as a place to find a significant other, just get to know them over the phone or through a few months of emails before agreeing to a meeting in person
8. Choose your friends carefully. Nearly everyone needs someone who cares for them and treats them well. If you have friends who are treating you badly, then ditch them and find friends that do care about you. If you can’t find any friends like that in your current circumstances, then look elsewhere. If you’re feeling sad, there’s nothing like going out with your friends to make you feel better. Surround yourself with friends who are positive, encouraging, and helpful. We all need this continuing, positive encouragement to make solid positive progress in life.
9. Keep learning. Whether it is a new hobby or a new dance, just keep learning something that interests you. Just find a new interest and go for it!! It will give you something to keep you occupied, and a new outlook on life.

 

There you go. I belived we all should cherish all the moment we had. I hope you guys are in happy mood.

Don’t let things ruins your life

Cheers

How to start off the year 2008 with a proper financial planning? Here’s a shocking statistic. Only 4 out of every 10 Malaysians have life insurance. If you are among the 6 who run the risk of living everyday unprotected, the first thing to do this coming new year is to get a life insurance policy for your complete peace of mind.

Why You Need Life Insurance

Contrary to popular belief that you don’t need life insurance if you don’t have dependents, the exact opposite is true. Life insurance is the important first step in any sound financial plan. With the various riders to life insurance policies, they not only cover death but also accident, permanent disabilities, illnesses and hospitalization. Before you even begin anything, you and your loved ones must be protected against untoward incidents. Your ability to earn income, not your house or car, is your greatest asset. Issit yours insured?

How does Life Insurance fit into your Financial Plan.

Financial planning isn’t just about saving money and investing for retirement. Saving and investing is only a small part of a more complex long-term financial strategy. It is not complete without the element of protection. Nobody plans for any mishaps. However, what you need is to have a contigency plan to prepare for the thunderstorms in life

When the breadwinner of a family dies, it is also a financially challenging phase, with added expenses arising from the funeral proceedings. Life insurance which is payable upon the insured’s demise helps the deceased’s loved ones to continues living with financial peace of mind. Without life insurance, the family’s financial plan will collapse and sadly come to an abrupt end. Even if you’re single with no dependents, the riders in an insurance policy can cover you against accidents, disabilities, illnesses and hospitalization.

The types of life insurance policies available in the market are term insurance, whole life, investment linked products, endowment, life annuity plans, mortgage reducing term (MRTA), supplementary riders which are attached to basic insurance plans and medical/health insurance plan. Each type has its own merits and help to protect you and your loved ones in the event of accidents, illnesses, disabilities and death. The ones you need would depend on your personal situation and requirements.

Starting Off Early with Life Insurance

If you don’t already have a life insurance policy, it’s crucial to start now. Here’s why :

• You will only be protected once the policy comes into effect.
• You can accumulate more for your retirement if you start early for policies with cash values
• The premium rates become higher the older you are. Start early to enjoy lower rates.
• Likewise, take on a life insurance policy when you’re still healthy to enjoy lower rates.
• Life insurer have an age limitmfor those they cover. Don’t procrastinate until you are of an uninsurable age

Buy Life Insurance For Your Children Too

Lif insurance is not just for you. Financially savvy parents buy insurance for the children from the moment they are born. It’s good to start as early as possible as the young enjoy the lowest rates. By the time they reach 21, their policies would have accumulated a tidy sum. This way, you’re carrying the legacy by helping your children protect their own children. Your children can add on to the policy to suit their needs when they grow older.

Confucius said: " A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". Financial planning wisdom states : "The first step in your journey to financial freedom is life insurance." Ignore life insurance at your own peril

It’s a never endless battle. For me, it is depends on your likings. I have both adsense and nuffnang on my blog. Which one give me more profits? Of course I would say Adsense as it give me more money.

Why is that ?

First of all, Adsense for content. The ads will be chosen based on my contents. Statistically, the ads which is expensive is more likely to be advertise on my blog. Therefore increasing my profit per click and per impression. On daily basis, my adsense generates profit worth $USD8 per day with over 20 clicks. I know its not a huge clicks, but for a new blog with not many traffics it can be considered as okay. For your information, my blog haven’t been list in google or yahoo directory yet, but I already submitted to the search engine and hoping my traffic will be increase by then. I’ve done some research on adsense and most higher paying ads comes from forex & food company. Most of the time my effective cost-per-thousand impressions (eCPM) are around $180 -$300. So for those who wants to get higher eCPM, you can always blog on this two topic ( forex or food ).

How bout Nuffnang?

At the moment, my nuffnang revenue is not doing so well. I have it on my blog maybe because its look good. By the way, most of the nuffnang advertise are low paying ads. This maybe due to the company is still new. I might give nuffnang a try for the time being. Hopefully, the money will flowing into my nuffnang account . Anyway, I’ve noticed some weird stuff in my nuffnang analytics. I think it doesn’t show the right number there everytime i see it as the numbers are always different from the one google showed me. Hmm..weird indeed

As for now, I’m counting the days for my blog to be listed. Hopefully, more traffic will be coming in.

If you guys have someting to share regarding this entry, Please. Don’t hesitate to give me some comments.

I believed many of you guys have difficulties to view some of your videos. This is because you don’t have relevant video codecs in your computer. Before that, I’ll explain what is Video Codecs is all about?

As found in the wikipedia, a video codec is a device or software that enables video compression and/or decompression for digital video.

A common problem when an end user wants to watch a video stream encoded with a specific codec is that if the exact codec is not present and properly installed on the user’s machine, the video won’t play (or won’t play optimally).

Windows XP SP2 itself only has a very limited number of video and audio codecs installed; other than Microsoft formats, Intel Indeo is the only available .avi Codec that is installed per default. All other codecs, such as DivX, Xvid or Theora, must be installed manually.

Below are the list of the available/default codecs after a Windows XP Installation

NOTE: Not all of the supported codecs are installed by default. These codecs will be downloadable when you play content that requires the codec.

As you can see some of the codecs are not in the list up there. To make it easy for you guys, I’ve have compiled some of the codecs that are widely used. You can download them by visiting the download link I’ve listed down. Enjoy.
