How to Create Abundant Wealth with the Amazing Untapped Power of Your Mind!
Mohamad Latiff here with my 1st ever post on LifePoke.com.
Being the personal development ‘guru’ amongst the 2 of us (myself and the one and only Ganz), I wisely decided that my maiden, virginal post be a comic strip I drew some years ago to reflect a rising trend in the self help industry.

I Go To Work So That I Can Gain Experience
From the department of good-for-them
Most people I have talked to tell me that I need a get a job to gain work experience. To me that’s like saying I should play soccer to get the experience of playing soccer. We gain experience from the act of living, regardless of whether we are employed or not. Take for an example while I was in the army I only gain experience at that job. But we gain experience doing just about anything in our lives.
Many years ago I found out that you learn a lot in the beginning of your job and then you stagnate. This forces you to miss other experiences that would have been more valuable. And jobs don’t last forever esp. those that can and eventually be replaced technology and low cost labor and what happens next is really quite simple. We have seen it a hundred times over. You get laid off and your work experience won’t mean anything to anyone.
In fact, just ask yourself if the experience you are gaining now be any worth in say 10 to 20 years. Will your job even exist?
You have to make your own choice. What kind of experience would you rather get from life? The knowledge of how to do things well which you can only yield by spending your time and money or the knowledge on how to enjoy financial security for the rest of your life without ever needing a job again.
It’s your choice.
Praying To Trees
From the department of good-for-them
It’s unseemly and unfortunate that after 2000 years of civilization built upon intellectual reasoning and scientific rigor, we still have people in Singapore praying to trees for 4D numbers.
How To Tame Someone Into An Employee
From the department of put-up-or-shut-up
This is no simple task. To tame someone into an employee. The first of which is to give them a weighty policy filled with nonsensical rules and regulations that are designed to break their independent will. Once the new employee has read the policy he or she now has reasons to be fearful because they now know they can be disciplined for their mistakes as interpreted by the policy.
Thus, the new employee will simply obey the boss’s instructions without question to simply stay on the boss’s good side. Add some office gossip, backstabbing and bootlicking stories to the mix and we have a we’ve got a freshly minted mind slave.
To further reinforce their obedience to you. You can demand that they dress, talk, move and socialize they way you see fit. After all we pay for them. We just can’t have our products running all around thinking for themselves, now can we?
I know of some Singapore companies that forbid you do certain things especially during “office hours”. Answering personal phone calls or even taking a short break to watch YouTube are grave office sins.
To some bosses it’s like the end of the world because time is money. We just can’t have our employees taking a break or talking to family and friends can we? We need to discipline them at once and maybe send them for another round of sterility training.
I for one don’t give a shit about such rules and regulations because they are just plain stupid and people listening to them well… need I say more.
The Internet Is So Full Of Scripts
From the department of we-can’t-admit-to-anything.
Some people still don’t get it.
There are literally thousands of CGI, PHP and ASP scripts available on the web today that are designed to help you build and develop a web site with functionality and appeal.
And the brutal truth is that there are many companies charging exorbitant rates are using these very same scripts. But why should they tell you? They are running a business too, and it’s in their best interests to keep their secrets in order to continue making money off you.
