4. Ignore the naysayers

5. Work your butt off

6. Give something back.



1. Trust yourself : Yes, I told myself many of times last time ... if I want to be a 'successful' in my ambition to be a good Maths teacher, I MUST trust myself. I must know that I have the abilities to teach well. After 20 years in teaching Maths, I could proudly said "I have succeeded". I was awarded to be the best 'teacher' before. Today I want to trust that I could be a good trading-cikgu ... and one day, I will feel successful, my own definition(of coz). I do not need award or recognition, just appreciations from those who have learnt from me. A simple 'thank' will be nice.

2. Break the rules : Yes, I do break many rules along the way when I teach ... and I explore to teach Maths differently. Today, I will apply it in my teaching of trading. I want to break the common rules many trading courses doing ... for a start, I want to see that those trading course should be affordable to ALL of those who want learn!! And many ways of trading's rules should be broken!! Many myths and assumptions being made ... and blinded many novices. Break those rules!!

3. Don't be afraid to fail : Yes, every successful people will tell you they will attempt things they never tried ... and they are NOT afraid to fail. They understand that normal people do not venture further as they are afraid to fail. Just DO NOT be normal.

4. Ignore the naysayers : Yes, ignore the majority of those average normal people, who will tell you whatever you try will fail ... and telling you how risky or hard things could be. Ignore their words ... trust yourself, break some rules ... dont be afraid to fail and IGNORE the majority. Yes, you can!

5. Work your butt off : Yes  ... we all know that successful people taking baby-steps to learn and work hard from there. They do not complain, they do not quit ... they know that they have to push the limit ... hard hard work ...

6. Giving back : Yes ... I always believe that there are so many things we could give back. For example, imparting knowledge to my students, seeing them scoring good grades and entering Uni of their choice. You could NEVER understand the satisfaction if you are not teaching. I am very satisfied with what I am doing ... I may not be rich but I feel rich inside. I do have many thanking me for teaching and sharing ...
