Model of Existence

I don't want to be a role model,

I just want to be a proof of existence, despite the noisy voices and wishes of others and myself.

So that others may know, when they seek me, an entity, an existence.

What I've been through is proof of such life.

As I unveil to you what is unveiled to me, know that when you feel and you can relate, I prayed for you, as I was prayed unto.

Such beautiful connection. Such beautiful life.

Await for me in heaven, as I await for you to heaven. Wait short, or don't wait, reach me.

Greet me, hug me, love me, release happy tears with me, and be with me. I had missed you.

Population and Economic Growth

I'm listening to HAPPY (9PM) after a little cleaning up (^_^). So so HAPPY~~

The last post on my Harry Dent Jr. speech note-taking, made me curious. I visited his website http://harrydent.com/ and played the opening video, which in few minutes, I had to subscribe to be able to view the latter... I paused when I could not grasp during his slide on a picture of a baby.. thus, I googled the relationship between economics and baby. Which interestingly lead me to an article in wiseGEEK: What is the Relationship Between Population and Economic Growth.

So, in the article I would like to point out:

• the obvious is, without consumers, may lead to no economic growth
• couples expecting baby coming in their lives may save money until baby is born - removes money from market - save money in bank - not much is spent
• any income made, will go to families or saving account - thus, the individual is interested in earning money
• child grows - parents likely spend on goods and services for child's development
• later in life, the child will become tax-payer, consumer, investment

Another article, Let's Talk About Sex: Why More Babies Means More Economic Growth by Jerry Bowyer, which a simpleton like me couldn't grasp much, what I can relate is toward the end of the article, "By the time all of those nations of dual-earners-one-kid realize that they're about to become nations of dual-pensioners-one-earner, it's already too late."

And some interesting comments:

Try not to cry...

Oh.. the happy song ended 30mins ago..
And I was so touched by these information.

A Letter for Altucher?

I was dreaming in my sleep.

My good friend is married to the Yang Di Pertuan Agong, head of state of Malaysia (King). They never really had met, but the King had chosen to marry her, and he didn't acknowledge that she is still married to her husband, and loves him dearly. She intended to tell him in their very first met up in Australia, where she brought along few of her close friends for support. She has rivals whom are jealous of her. The rivals were being indecent, thus was sent back to Malaysia. I had to make sure the rivals are all on the plane.

Then suddenly I was with my big family, we're on a cruise, and captured by a pirate ship. When we managed to escape, all of us were in water, but the water was not deep. Suddenly I was holding a wet letter, meant for Altucher, a yellow colored envelope. Confused, who's Altucher? Why am I sending this letter to this person?

And I was awake by the sound of a bird chirping, on my opened window...

And when I was about to blog, I suddenly remembered... Altucher is James Altucher (^-^)

By the way...

Weird dream...

Trend in Economy and Where to Get Our Money

I'm listening and taking notes, the CD is programmed so that I can't rewind or forward, thus, here are some points I am managing to write;

Harry Dent Jr. in 2013 shared how to increase income and take advantage of the trend:

-- Can't cure debt bubble by adding another debt

-- Understand the new technology

-- Entrepreneur welcome change

-- Economic changing, businesses start to fail

How to increase income?

economy have booms and bust

-- people get married, have kids, advancing in career, buying house

-- age 46 spend the most in lifetime

-- earning and spending at age 20

-- 26 gets married, forms households - retail stores shopping centers

-- 28 gets children -- everything about kids

-- 31 buy 1st home

-- 33 spend money on child care

-- 37 - 42 kids older, they want more space, people buy biggest house, jr high school

-- 46 spend the most money

-- 50 on automobiles

-- 54 travel the most, fix up kitchen

-- 58 life insurance

-- 68 health insurance -- continue to grow for decades

people learn, experience, innovate, adopt new trends, products and services

people generate their own businesses

retirement benefits becoming off

new businesses emerge

the aging people wants to be young, well, live longer life

create your own business, create multiple stream of income

-- internet-based,

-- franchise,

-- network marketing (easiest way to start business, own business, product proven)

not in denial of change, act on it.

network marketing

-- low start up cost

-- real business

-- product proven - demonstrate the result

-- how to apply to needs, be the consultant

-- go for people who are serious

-- support those people - train those people

-- invest in yourself and help people learn how they can invest in themselves

have 10 years plan or longer, strategies when the world goes upside-down

economics go down, some have their business boom

entrepreneurs go to work

forget about retirement, no one retire, if they can't work, most probably their families are taking care of their healthcare

keep a job if you have a good job, have multiple of income, build every way of cash and income, make money during this downturn.. after 2023 you can look back and see..

take your wealth, give your children enough to start their own business, fund an organisation

no regrets on deathbed
