BOOK REVIEW: BECOMING GENERATION FLUX by MILES ANTHONY SMITH

I was given the honor to review this eye opening new perspective on Becoming Generation Flux by Miles Anthony Smith. We live in times full of uncertainties, fear, doubts and challenges, learning and adapting to the environment at an un-precedented fast pace. It is truly a new experience. This book will provide you a new perspective and prepare you to obtain the more technical skills or skills that are hard to automate if you want to a successful career.

I received this book in exchange for my independent review only.

This book is well crafted with powerful facts supported by statistics on the contemporary social issues encountered by all of us particularly in US and the world as a whole, which invite us to give these critical issues due consideration. Miles Anthony Smith does a magnificent and marvelous job for raising, nurturing and nourishing us to embrace Generation Flux so as to avoid unnecessary stress.

I too subscribe to similar formulae by the author i.e. seize the day in areas we control, cede stress in areas we have no control. Relax and have fun to gain strength in every aspect, be it physical, mental and spiritual. By shaping ourselves to be adept and to accept the new environment is the surest way of obtaining success. Keep learning, unlearn and relearn to navigate our career path.

Miles Anthony Smith is a positive yet realistic author, illustrating with numerous compelling and convincing new trends of the social issue caused by income inequality imbalances. By doing so, we are able to see the entire scene through appropriate lens without being side tracked by chaotic career complication.

"Becoming Generation Flux" is a timely book which dares to raise those issues normally people avoid discussing publicly. However, for those who aspire to gain the highest, deepest and broadest perspective on how to live in the new world, then this book is right for you. It is not meant to persuade or dissuade you – it’s meant to inform, ingrain and inspire you in gaining appropriate and broad perspectives so that you are much better prepared ahead.

It goes without saying, accept and follow the new career flow as reflected in the title of the book.

To know more concisely and precisely, please grab hold of the book immediately and read it. Cheers and enjoy your reading.

INTERVIEW WITH JIM COLIN (VIDEO)

GUEST POST FROM FLORA G ALEANA - WHAT ARE THE CHIEF THEMES OF THE BOOK " BETTER THAN THE BEST" BY JAMES OH

What are the chief themes of the book “Better than the Best” by James OH?

Better Than The Best is a must-read and is definitely a best seller. It has given tips to help readers to know more about themselves. It also prepares them to take up the challenges in life which crop up anytime because of the rapid changes in the environment and technology. It is a detailed personal account and a series of anecdotes which the author shares with us, the readers. The instances are nothing but his experiences and hind sights on how he came up in his life. The book obviously helps us in sharpening our minds and in boosting our confidence towards living a life of our choice. We should live our life to the fullest. In the process of living it we access several ideas, illustrations and insights. This book must be read by all those who want to live a life without any regret. 

James Oh is an author, speaker and accountant. His broad experiences and multifaceted talents together with his passion, enthusiasm and commitment make him a great difference maker. His expertise is in making people see the invisible, do the impossible and in helping people see new opportunities in life without losing sight of the details. Seeing things in a new, fresh light is very conducive to creativity. The author adopts a very practical approach and provides real life examples which readers understand easily and they are able to relate to it.

Many a times we do not realize that we are capable of doing many more things than what we actually do. We tend to go into a slumber thinking that we lack the potential to work. It is actually a grave mistake and an injustice we are doing to our own selves. Human life is a wonderful mixture of ups and downs, the good and the bad. Who decides what is good or bad? What actually is good and what is bad? These are all relative concepts we construct for our convenience. We tag something good and some others as bad. When our mind is free of all assumptions and preconceived notions we will see things in an unbiased way. For free and effective thinking some of us may need some training. Some people have very weak minds which do not stand a small misdeed or slight difficulty in life. Difficulties in life do not come to destroy us, but they teach us to stand up straight and to face whatever comes our way.

Life is often compared to a journey. We cannot jump over troubles, but we must take a baby step initially. We know that Rome was not built in a day. There is tremendous amount of effort which has gone into building such a beautiful city. Great thinkers, scientists and Nobel laureates did not become successful overnight. We should understand that there are years of hard work, many attempts which did not yield positive results, but the point to take home is their perseverance and the strong bent of mind to keep trying till they succeed. 

We often search in the outside world for some help which would help us in developing our personality. In essence, we need to look at our inner self and find out what is our strength which we may have kept unused for long. Dig deep within and find the real zeal within us which, if used to the optimum level, will take us to great heights in life. Life is never static, but it undergoes continuous changes. We must adopt ourselves to the changing times and accept that change is necessary. Therefore, we should know ourselves, love ourselves and take ourselves to be a great resource.

We should have faith in our positive qualities, strengths and merits. Never let negative thoughts creep into your mind if you are one weak-minded person. Believe in yourself, do what you love to do without bothering about what others will say. Your life is your choice. You decide how you want to live it and live it the best possible way. James Oh gives a series of great tips in the form of a book which should be widely read and followed in our daily life.

GUEST POST FROM fLORA -LEARN THE SKILLS TO MOVE FEARLESSLY IN YOUR BUSINESS CAREER

Learn the skills to move fearlessly in your business career

Having a successful business career in the age of information technology and unstable economy requires great business skills and commitment. We need to take time to develop personally and professionally in order to become successful entrepreneurs. When we start business the fundamental principles of communication, dedication and perseverance are necessary. We need to pay enough attention to these areas if we are looking for a career in business. We must possess good leadership qualities too in order to run a business enterprise. Consider the case of a cricket team in a high school. The basic principles of solidarity, unity and co-operation need to work from that time in life itself. We all were part of such teams in schools, played and won or lost the game. The lesson we need to take from those activities is nothing but the principles and certain mode of behavior.

Technical knowledge: 

1940s saw the grand entry of computers into the world. None would have then thought that we will be carrying gadgets with much larger processing power in our pockets some decades later. We do not have to be IT experts to become good businessmen, but we must know how Microsoft Office, Word, Excel, Power Point, Outlook, Thunderbird etc. work. We should also be able to work with the internet. Once we know these basic tools, picking up some more slightly advanced tools and software is not hard. The truth is that we did not have any exposure to computers during our school education. Whatever we know now about computer and information technology was learned much later. All that was possible since we were a dedicated lot who wanted to pursue a career in business.

Communication and networking: 

The first and foremost requirement for any successful career is good communication skills. We will not like to work with a boss who is very short-tempered and who shouts at us for every minute thing. We will not love to be part of a team where the team lead always mumbles something instead of speaking out in a dignified manner. Leadership qualities entail some basic things which most people take for granted. Even the head of an educational institution will not be loved and respected if he or she mumbles or loses temper over trivial issues. I now recollect the good old days of my schooling where the Headmaster was a very meek and submissive character. Even the students used to walk over him. Professional and personal development courses will help us to master fearless public oratory, the ability of keeping our control under stressful situations etc.

Time and event management:

We need to be as productive as possible to come up and reap success in business. Businesses will require us to complete a number of tasks every week for which we need to plan our schedule effectively. Only when we are able to manage our time and work perfectly we will be able to manage others in business. Planning and productivity must go hand in hand.

Education and training: 

On-the-job training has gone to the pages of history. Whatever educational qualifications we have earned on a regular basis help us in career. Diplomas and corresponding courses will just give us some hints on how to improve our capabilities.

Flexibility, imagination and presence of mind: 

Running a business is an extremely risky affair. We never know when things will take turns. A slight fluctuation in the economy is enough to shake our entire business. As business owners we need to be determined to face any situation that may come our way. We may have to slow down the productions, even give pink slips to some employees or stop import or export etc. Things often cannot be predicted in business. We need to go along the current and adopt ourselves to the prevailing situations. These basic principles we all know in our personal lives. The same must be applied to the professional front too with ease. At some point we tend to mix the personal with the professional. This will adversely affect both our personal and professional lives. This must be avoided though it is highly difficult to demarcate the personal from the professional. Work and life must be nicely balanced to have satisfaction in both. Then we can trudge any kind of business-path fearlessly.

CHESS KING TO PURPOSE FILLED LIFE BY OH JAMES

CHAPTER 1 LIVE LIFE LIKE YOU WILL NEVER REGRET

People always think that the most painful thing in life is losing the one you value. The truth is the most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of valuing someone too much and forgetting that you are special too. Unknowingly, this sound, solid and valid principle has governed my life all this while.

How many of you have regretted that you have not done anything you think you ought to do? If you have, then I like to congratulate you for taking the effort to buy this book. Keep reading and apply whatever you feel comfortable and I can assure you that you will not regret it.

Despite my several temporary setbacks since I was born till date, I never gave in nor gave up. I managed to get through though it seems that there is no way out. You may at a later chapter learn how I rise from these temporary setbacks. I must attribute my achievements through help from those kind souls and people I came across. These temporary setbacks are merely to mold and shape me to the way I wanted. This is because I am a firm believer of I am the creator of my own destiny and everyone has a seed of greatness inside us.

Permit me to brief you a little about my background. I am a product of a migrant from Main Land China and a local lady in Malaysia. My late father had traveled across an ocean from China to marry my mother. Both are illiterate and we were given lots of freedom. Luckily, 5 out of my 7 siblings are university graduates, which made both our parents very proud.

I was born underweight but there is a good reason for it, which you may find out from this book.  I began to start work at a very young age, but this did not deprive me from receiving an Education to break off from the poverty chain. Since then I strive to follow the foot- steps of those great successful people and wanted to leave my foot-prints in others’ hearts so as to repay what they had done for me even though they had never expected anything from me.

I have chosen to live my life like playing a winning chess game many decades ago. I always do my utmost best so that I can be a great contributor to the society which I had benefited from. I managed to maintain my attitude as I began to read lots of motivational book since young, My favorite authors, namely Confucius, Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln and Charles Dickens taught me to fight all odds to achieve success.

With this positive and profound attitude, it helps me to see things from the positive side of everything no matter what. This attribute made me able to dance in the rains while waiting for the rainbow. That’s easy as it sound. From there, I also learned that tough times never last, but tough people do. Gaining strength from strength to the next level of success is the surest way so long you keep doing it with inner desire. Now, hope you can see it as inside out process. First with the mindset, follow by knowing-doing gap strategy before using tangible tools to make it real. Keep reading if you do not know exactly what I mean and say.

Always remember: - if an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends.

If an egg is broken by inside force, then life begins. Great things happen from the inside.

One thing I also learn is to never despair nor give up.  Keep encouraging yourself immensely no matters what so that it will eventually spark your desire to pursue your dream further. Grow your spirit rather then cut your dreams. Live the life you are capable and do not compromise it. This is because you only have a chance; you either do it Now or Never.

Determination, will power and staying focus on the goals will help you to overcome whatsoever challenge that comes along your life. Just believe it and do it. Have faith and never let your sight let you down. This proven success recipe has provided lots of fruits for me. Keep reading till you are convicted and convinced wholeheartedly.

These positive habits and attitudes will empower you to obtain what you desire in your heart. Keep listening to your inner voice and let it navigate you through the direction of your destiny. Keep practicing. Deliberate Practice does not make you Perfect but Deliberate Practice makes Permanent Progress.

Would you agree that your beliefs determine your actions?

Keep learning, unlearning what you have learned and relearn what is new to you. Get used to it and you will be rest assured to grow with it.

In 2008, I simply quit my overseas job shortly after I obtained my Permanent Residence. What at the time appeared as a bold and irresponsible decision, would soon open doors that would enable me to discover the "Missing Link" in my own life. 

That freed me to enter into one of the most creative and bold periods of my life. Guess what? I WAS venturing into blogging on wealth and health at my late 40s with the intention to bring humanity to the next level of success, becoming a great successful man so that I can leave my foot print in many hearts and souls so as to glorify my Savior. At the time of writing, my blogs have spread its wing to more than 170 countries. Bear in mind, it has and is gaining momentum.

With this blessing, I then discovered my larger purpose of helping people to live life in more fulfilling roles and discovered my hidden potential. 3 Ebooks, namely Better Than The Best, Letting Go and Moving On & Growing Your Wealth Exponentially have been published so far so as to enhance its impact.  Needless to say without your support, my purpose filled life would not have materialized.

From my turbulent life history, I learnt that we dictate our path. Nothing can stop us from achieving our goal so long as we don't give in and give up. We just need to be accountable, decisive, committed; audacious and stay focus as we stride along our life journey.

NOW, I like to sum up the following quotation in the end of the very first chapter of this book:-

May the sun bring you new energy by day,

May the moon softly restore you by night,

May the rain wash away your worries,

May the breeze blow strength into your being,

May you walk gently through the world

and know its beauty all the days of your life.

Apache Blessing.

UNLEASH YOUR INVISIBLE WEALTH, LOOKING BEYOND

Unleash Your Invisible Wealth, Looking Beyond 

Dear Friends, Followers and Fans

Hi. This is James Oh. I am trained as a Chartered Accountant cum Legal backgrounds and spent 20 over years in the corporate world. I have gained broad, diversified and extensive experience from growing a private limited company to public listed company. When I was 47, I found my deep passion and niche in developing and inspiring people to see the invisible and do the impossible. This has led me to start several blogs in 2008 and series of lift you up books before I embark my training programs in 2011.

I have done numerous training programs and consulting projects for organizations like Citatah group of companies, M.I.R.A., UOB bank, IHRM, Vistage, MIA, ICSA, MACPA, Taylor and APII locally. Presently, I am an International Author, Speaker and Consultant and a Business coach for CEOS in Vistage.

Of course, I love what I do. I can unleash my invisible wealth and so can you. Do turn your past experience, your expertise or your passion into your wealth. But it is not just the money....it is the life that you dream and deserve!

I am a firm believer that people should do what they love to do in life. I am deeply sad to see people who are in jobs that they do not really like. More often than not, we do not pursue our dreams because of reason best known to us and chose to be in a comfortable zone rather than staying alive and do what you truly deserve.

Though this initial bold action seems irresponsible, it started to bear fruit after deliberate mentoring and training under numerous renowned mentors, such as Poh Yew, KC See, Daniel Teh and many others. I discovered a more fulfilling life. Coaching and mentoring is my passion. It is in my DNA to share what I know, the skill I have and the gifted talents from the above. 

I must admit that being a professional trainer not only optimizes my existing skills and qualification but what is more important is helping people to unleash their hidden potential for a better tomorrow. Training also is a fun and interesting profession in which the older you are, the more valuable you become.

Don’t let the insignificant doubts stop you from exploring possibilities. Let us help you if you are keen.

BOOK REVIEW : LEARNING FROM THE MASTER - LIVING A SURRENDER LIFE

BOOK REVIEW: LEARNING FROM THE MASTER – LIVING A SURRENDER LIFE

I had the pleasure to review a powerful, hand on and practical hand book, Learning From The Master – Living A Surrender Life by Laura J. Davis. We live in times full of uncertainties, fear, doubts and challenges, learning and adopting the value of surrender is nearly impossible if not for God’s grace. This book will provide you the required tools both to overcome fear and gain trust in God simultaneously.

I reviewed this workbook solely without reference to the novel and I receive it as my only remuneration for my independent review.

This is a well-designed workbook, which invite us throughout the book to scrutinize our own lives and dig deeper into our hearts to a new discovery that brings us closer to the Savior. Laura J. Davis does a magnificent job for directing, nurturing and nourishing us in living surrendered lives, based on love and respect.

I subscribe to similar formulae i.e. trust, obedience and submission, to strengthen my faith which was not the case prior to acceptance of Jesus into my life. Through trials and tribulations, God strengthen my faith and caused me to submit to Him voluntarily out of His grace. By knowing my true self deeply and thoroughly, I am able to solve whatever challenge in my life through Christ who strengthens me. This is because there are no challenges, even when combined, larger than Him inside us, provided I surrender to Him.

Laura J. Davis is a firm believer of living a surrendered life, illustrated with numerous compelling and captivating scripture’s stories that truly convinced and convicted me before she raised the relevant and material questions at the end of each chapter. By doing so, we are able to see and connect to this scripture so that we are not side tracked. Here, she relates the real life of Joseph in this context.

"Learning From The Master - Living A Surrender Life" is a practical, hand on work book which serves wide and diverse needs especially for those who want to gain the highest, deepest and broadest perspective on how to live a life surrendered to God. It is not meant to persuade or dissuade you – it’s meant to inform, ingrain and inspire you in gaining appropriate and broad perspectives in such a life.

Her approach is also possible with statements like:

“It can only be done through the work of Holy Spirit and a person’s willingness to surrender to the Lord’s will.”

To know more, please grab hold of the book immediately and read it from the horse's mouth. Well done and I pray that Lord will continue to use her mightily for His will, Amen.

BOOKS TURN MOVIES

Very happy day to you,

I write in response to your brilliant and noble call, Books Turns into movies and am more than happy to furnish you with the content for your movies production.

In this connection, I write to nominate my book, Letting Go and Moving On. It is based on my real painful story on how I pass heavy loads of unbearable experience to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

It all started when an ambitious young accountant aspired to give the best for his beloved family. He convinced his wife to use a state of art hospital. However, things went obviously wrong, as he was the only key witness to the whole series of event. He eventually turned into helping the midwife to "murder' his own second full grown son by giving in to every objections he raised. This is definitely not the normal him who will tolerate such obvious negligent case that caused a casualty. Due to this long delay, his son was announced dead about 10-20 minutes before a successful operation which saved his wife. Just imagine the patient who cried first and experienced abdominal pains a couple of hours ahead.  

To upheld his promise to his still born son, he took full responsibility and accountability and summon all the involved parties to the court, despite advised not to do so by various parties, including the leading opposition party. However, he pursued the case after obtaining numerous written unsatisfactory replies from the government linked hospital and gynecologist after he put lots of pressure on them. Numerous fruitless private meetings were conducted prior to the domestic inquiry, without the presence of the key witness and external gynecologist. He confronted the chairman and the CEO who initially refused to give him a hearing and instead threaten him with removal by police. He was calm and took up the CEO's challenge. In return, he gave the CEO an ultimatum to reply or he would stay in the hospital until he obtained a satisfactory explanation. The CEO finally agreed to furnish his explanation within seven days thereof.

The hell experience does not end there, but the file was misplaced by the courts. He even instructed his appointed solicitor to reconstruct the file, instead of refiling a fresh case as advised by his solicitor. Knowing this is going to be a tough battle, the author completed a Law degree to standby. He even furnished his findings through his research on medical negligence cases and furnished his solicitor to strengthen his case. Unaware that all these worked against him as his solicitor pulled out to represent him, a day prior to the first hearing of the case. He tried to represent himself, as he had completed his law degree, but was removed.

By then, he got to know Jesus, who had then took over the case from the author.

Since then, he has been used as His vessel to lift others up through his blog at http://liftyouup.blogspot.com and series of life you up books at the link below.

With the above, I trust I can deliver you abundance of content to make your dream materialize.

Thanks and cheers.
