He Got A Plan For You

I have going outstation for company business recently, particularly is to study the technology at an competitor company. It was an SME company but it worths to be mention and written in my blog.

I'm an engineer which was i feel have very strong fate with activated carbon industry. I have left my company but eventually come back to my old fac. 

I met this guy, a boss from this AC company. He told us, the company to him is a miracle and he say without these two chances to his life. He would never be what he is today. Start with some of his history as a youngster. He was born a very poor family and father past away when he was age 6 months. His mother was doing day care and all his brothers and sister have to working young of the age 12 and 14. He say, he was the lucky one manage to have chance to enjoy education up to university level. He working all the time since age 16 and will go to singapore every holidays just for part time. He utilised all his time whenever after lectures at university, teaching tuitions, shoes collectors and etc. lucky that he was born quite smart that he was some of the "no need study hard" student.

He join a carbon company for few years and started his own business when age 29 and already a multimillioaire today as his late 40.

The first chance, there was a taiwanese company with very ruined company structure and planned to sell to his ex boss. Unfortunately, the deal was not closed. One day, he talk to his colleague which his partner now about the acquisition. His partner say, why not us to take over? He began to talk to the taiwanese and rent the factory on five years basis with negotiation of five minutes in car. So he meet his first chance.

The second chance, the taiwanese who rent the factory to him was kind enough and also for his own survival tried to be agent and bring business to him. But at that time, he have completely without moneys to buy any raw materials. So he tried to utilized another cheap source which was plenty in my country with fews hundred of dollars. Of course, what he produced was a lousy product and he sell to the end user. He receives the customer complain about the quality but the application still delivers the result. Why? Because the water supply itself dont need to be filtered by activated carbon and the customer are not aware of it. This is his second chance, he made 500,000 usd on his first deal. After that, he was able to buy tonnes of proper raw materials for his manufacturing.

From his tales, I can feel his pains and hardworks when he was a youngster and i feel his decisive and strong anticipating ability now. I think his past cultured him to be what he is now. He is still active in different community and services and also church activities. 

I hope I can also meet the chance that he have met. He grabs the chance and brave enough to create from nothing, the trait that i admired the most. Although i was not born poor and do not have much society experience, i still hope i can have all the trait he have now. He was one of my learning list.

Thanks god that i see you are planning from him, through his tales i feel your presence. Amen!

Work For The Lord

Just to reflect my life as an employee. I have face conflicts and political tackling by few of colleague. In general, as I'm quite straight forward and often offend them by putting thing straight. I'm living my life serious and I put my works serious. I can't tolerate slack and laggy. More than often, I can't see changes to better from the group. I decide to pull myself out.

Until recently, working by your own is very tough and tiring. Peoples are stay aside, cross their arms and waiting you to fall. Eventually, I fall, my passion being killed. My boss can't see improvement I intend to brought up. I receives all sort of disappointment expression that i'm not a good team player. I felt despair and to reason why I must white knuckles all the way and got an unfair evaluation. I received encouragement which I read it as false encouragement, an expression and message you must work hard to make the company grow. I'm raged and disappointed, I have been working hard, I do what must be done cause as a Christianity belief, "What is right shall not be fooled". I got the thing done but they took that as granted.

I becomes pacified and lack of motivations.

I receives this message from an audio podcast where the message said, "you are not working for anonymous, you working for Lord. You are not anonymous, you represent the almighty."

I understand thoroughly that I'm a Christian, although at time, I'm looked like not in a shelter but I believe that should be a reason behind.

I'm a Christ follower and people know I'm. I represent God and this had become my motivation in my following days. "I work for God, I represent God." Lets continue to shows our Christian Way.

To All: Be it hard, but don't worry. God is watching. Keep praying for greater-you.

To My Suprise

An email from feedspot had spur some inspiration of coming out this pages.

It was an usual night with tiring work life, I received an casual email where usually I don't very pay attention on. To my surprise this email from feedspot had caught my attention where this blog had subscribed by 26 followers. Wou... my first reaction was. It was to my humble, I never advertise the blog and not even being give aware to my nearby friends. It is still an unknown reason but I'm glad that I can do something to motivates the folks although it might be dust like effect.

I wish to continue share my taught, religion, photography and my hometown.
welcome visit Penang.
