New toys and a brand new start

Finally, I bough a new scanner (The old HP scanner automatically added streaks of colour on every scan I made) . I got the Canon LiDE 90 for SGD$175.00 from Sim Lim. The salesman made a quick commission from this deal as I just walk in, grab, pay and go. He just lifted his finger and point me where they kept the stocks. I find the scanner a tad slow as compared to my previous HP ones and the images where pretty dark. The scanner is actually categorized as the latest high end consumer model from Canon which was a established, well-known imaging company. Oh ya, there weren't much competition in the market for scanners now a days. MFC rules and killed off this market(MFC = Multi Function Center or what).

Later in the morning at 9.30AM (Now is 3.02, GMT +8:00), I meeting Mr Don, my buddy to sign up for the property agent course. Once I completes all the courses, I will be officially a property agent capable to process selling, buying and renting of any property estates in Singapore. En block Takashimaya will be my goal!

Finally, JDMCarTuner.com got revamped (Once again for the 4Th time!) Let just hope I get to finish it by February. I will do it with interest and passion this time! Kudos to Ben for that enlightenment.

The Fall Back Plan

Today I was reprimanded by my buddy and it was harsh. He threw question about what I have planned for my future. Unfortunately, I couldn't answer them. Yes, I have plans to start a series of websites which will generate passive income to fund my other projects. But I didn't consider the fact that what if all websites didn't work. What if none really take off after 2-3 years. Yup, that sums everything up. He was asking me why didn't I step up to the challenge of being a property agent which can be pretty rewarding. You could practice and brush up your selling skills, make lots of money and have a bigger exposure which was what ones need in order to be successful.

I was ashamed, very ashamed. How can I preach my thoughts to my other friend when I didn't even practice what I know. Don said we are restarting today. I am thankful to him after what I have done. Thanks for keeping me in track, buddy!

Quote of the day:
Hard work is part of being successful, you cannot just skip this step.

I used to think one can get success by working smart and I question those that worked hard. How wrong was I...
