The World is Full of Nice People

Since joining MM( Money Mastery) community in July, 2008, my life has been a turnaround. I did not believe that a weekend of Boot Camp can change my life. It is true. The accelerated learning process stimulated my thinking brain which had remained dormant for quite some time.Within a short period, I made more than 100 new friends.I made sure I joined different groups for every of the games and role plays which we have to participate in order to learn. It sure was fast learning. On the third day, I practically collapsed in the morning and had to be sent to hospital.I really made an impact to be remembered. I guess it never happened before.Anywhere, thanks to the MM organisers I was allowed to rest in a room at the 5star hotel for the rest of the day. After 2 hours of rest and having taken a muscle relaxant, I made it to the final session when the certificates were presented. I was pleasantly surprised that someone, a new friend had already accepted the certificate on my behalf.

You see, being hypertensive and a diabetic, I need my beauty sleep in order to replenish my energy. The camp was very intensive. I enjoyed every minute of it but my body wasn't cooperating. I thought mind could conquer but definitely I was wrong.My spirits were perked up during the camp and the excitement was way too much.I had never experienced an attack before. Due to the stress and lack of sleep, my hands tingled and I felt that I would collapse anytime. My heart was racing very fast as well. Luckily, my new friend Neelum knew how to read a pulse. Mine was 104.I requested that they searched for Dr Ghaz.The episode caused the session to be halted while they searched for the dear doctor. Luckily I had met him earlier during the orientation and during the course of the camp.

Two doctors attended to me. God is great and He was not about to take me to Him yet. Dr Ghaz alerted that I may be having a stroke. I did not panic but remained calm, say some prayers and took deep breaths. My pulse went down quite fast.

My daughter Zay came to fetch me at the hotel that night with her friend and made an appointment with her physician friend. I was fortunate to get a quick appointment at Hospital Kuala Lumpur and now the state of my health has been stabilised. Luckily my heart and kidneys are still intact.

Dr Ernest, one of the speakers at the camp had said that the world is full of nice people. This had proven to be true. And KC's quote that "Ask and you shall Receive" is also true. KC is the main MM trainer.

The MM mentorship lasts 2 years after the camp and I continue to learn many things and rediscover forgotten theories.

Best of all,I enjoy the friends I make and I feel the camaraderie is strong.

Yesterday, I met a few more nice people that I have to pen it down to remind me that indeed the world is full of nice people. One should not feel sad because if you reach out there is always someone willing to help. All you have to do is ask.

I went to MARDI (Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute) with an intention to get some statistics and research data on earthworms. It started with the kind lady in charge of the information counter. Even on short notice, I was allowed to meet up with a friendly researcher from the Centre of Research of Strategic Resources. Actually, he was the expert on organic fertiliser and an industry resource person. He happened to be a avid recycler and an organic composter as well. A true environmentalist being a microbial ecology specialist.This gentleman even downloaded some useful literature into my thumb drive which luckily, I had brought along in my handbag. He gave me some useful tips on writing a book and on my suggesting that there could be some business opportunities with MARDI in the future, he gave me the contact to the business department.

After the meeting, I asked a stranger the way to the MARDI book store and he offered to send me there. It was quite a distance to walk. I took the chance that he was not an opportunistic person and my first impression is normally right. At the book store, I met and chatted with the cashier and enquired on MARDI's publications and told her that I was researching for a book. The casual meeting ended up with the lady offering to sell my book when it is out and she also offered some tips on marketing the book.

My list of kind people outside my family and friends continues....

The top of the list would be KC See and Shum, my MM mentors. They will be the ones holding the torch and showing me the way to my destination of personal success.
