Can we contribute to safe the world?

In this decade, more and more concern over environmental issues, just to name a few :
1) Climate change - global warming, greenhouse gas, ocean acidification, etc
2) Land degradation - land pollution, soil contamination, etc
3) Toxins - toxic heavy metals, toxic waste, etc
4) Waste - waste disposal incidents, landfill, recycling, etc
5) Water pollution - acid rain, ocean dumping, oil spills, etc
6) and many more

Can we as an ordinary people to help contributing to the world? Below are some thoughts that we may apply to our daily life.

1) Energy saving - use energy saving home appliances, switch off the electrical items when not in use, turn off the stand by mode
2) Recycle the waste - segregate the different wastes into plastic, paper and glass and send to recycling centre
3) Reduce the usage of non-environmental friendly products such as
a) plastic - by using green bag, concentrated liquids to reduce the containers, recyclable bottles, etc
b) chemical - rely on natural or naturally derived and biodegradable formulas products
4) Create the sustainability awareness among our society community
5) Take less meat and imported food - this can help to reduce the consumption of water, gasoline, land of the planet

It sounds not that difficult! We try our best!

Malaysians still big on online shopping


According to the latest PayPal survey, Malaysians proved to be savvy online shoppers, with more than half intending to shop online and 44% of overall holiday expenditure expected to be spent online.
They cited time (75%), crowds (64%) and access to a wider range of products (51%) as the main reasons for avoiding the brick-and-mortar shops.

When it comes to online shopping, Malaysians are looking for a wider product range, assurance in payment security and product quality for the optimum online shopping experience.

Do you see where is the opportunity?

Let me highlight the key points here. Online shopping, wider range of products, coming trend of shopping, ...

I believe that every family spends hundreds on household consumable products monthly. Have you ever think that by switching the housebrand, you can actually utilize the power of internet to achieve your goals.

In this coming year of 2010 - Planning to become a boss?


Hi, first of all, Happy New Year to all!

Any planning ahead? Sometimes, we are wondering what can we do to change our life towards more interesting, more financial freedom, more enjoying, .......

We are always tighten up with all kinds of activities especially working, working & working, we don't even have time to accompany our family members. We have to sacrifice our health, time, self-esteem, etc just to work for someone else. Sometimes, when we have one step backward to think about it, is it really worth?

If you are thinking to start your own business especially work from home business, 'do your own thing, drive your own wagon', here are some points for your consideration :

1. Decide what level of sacrifice and risk you're willing to undertake in order to enjoy the satisfactions of working independently.

2. A powerful vision. Why are you in business in the first place? If your vision is strong, you will be motivated continuously to overcome all the obstacles and strive towards success.

3. Knowing how to solve your prospect's problem. Add value to yourself. By gaining knowledge, you're building a bridge across the river that is full of risks. You are able to identify and provide products or services to fulfill their needs.

4. Understand the importance of marketing and learn how to do it effectively. The world won't beat a path to your door just because you build a better mousetrap about how to grow tomatoes. To get customers you will have to market your products or services effectively and continually.

5. What are your competitive advantages that allow you to stand out from the crowd? Whatever your unique difference is, this is the question that, once answered, becomes the powerful strategy for you to sustain in the market.
