Society always have people like that.
So screw them, ignore them, Adam.
Be aware, but pay no heed.
After all, your time and energy is needed to be dedicated to those who need you more.

i have read the secret of millionaire invester, business,trader, and 2 book of forex from akltg.

just recently i bump into this blog and encountered so many wisdom that i can learn and apply to change my current mindset.

it is really boring to hear people keep critising people without overing solution. i hope with this post, people will change to give support and encouragement instead.

fair deal, adam. got record, willing to show. yeo can walk the talk as well. that is good enough for me.

a few reasons in my personal experience why people indulge in seeing the worst:

1) ‘self-protection’
whenever i speak good about people i didn’t know very well, my mother would tell me, “just take what people say at face value, so you won’t get cheated.” (she’d use my history of being involved with selfish people as evidence of my trust poorly invested) but i think it’d be robbing ourselves of the chance to find wonderful people.

2) unpredictability in people
sometimes i find it difficult to see the best, because people tell me upfront in my face that they _are using_ me. one was a relative and one was a close friend.

3) these people are chronically angry
i read from a book, that chronically angry people basically have everything against the way everything is, so no matter what you did, it would agitate them anyway.

4) misconception
i have friends who told me before, “people who put on a happy front are fake.” i’m not too sure why…

5) they just don’t like a person’s behaviour
well, at least i think so. as long as a behaviour vaguely resembles someone they don’t like (such as “money-making enthusiasts behave almost like enthusiastic conman”), they will associate you with that person and hate you.

6) pre-taught perception
i read this example about monkeys. there were four monkeys put in a place with a pole that had bananas hanging at the top. each time they climbed up to get it, water would splash them. soon, they stopped bothering. one monkey was removed, and a new monkey was put in. it was new, and tried to climb up, but every time it did, the others would pull it down. eventually, it stopped bothering. as the process repeated, the place was soon filled with monkeys that had never been splashed by water–but never bothered to get the bananas because the others pulled new monkeys down.
i believe humans are much that way–they believe there’s some element of truth in what others say because everyone’s saying the same thing. but the shocking truth is, no one knows why. there are those who told me, “comics will not make money in singapore.” and i asked them, “so, why is it a big hit in japan?” their response? “the people there are receptive! people here aren’t.” i find it odd that locals are reading comics if that’s the case.
i particularly dislike statements like “all bosses are the same–bad!” a whole office of people refusing to quit–but complaining daily, and choosing to maintain the status quo? i think it’s very weird.
it’s almost like these statements are “self-fulling prophecies”. if you’re a boss, you can pardon yourself for being terrible because every other boss sucks.

hope my possible reasons for people behaving that way aren’t too long winded! >.<||

I’m sorry to hear about Kheong Hee’s incident. Yes, I’ve met people that are jeolous on the rich, especially the rich in young age. Sadly speaking, my father is one of these people…

You are right, Adam. People who didn’t know you came up with such comments. But I’m glad that the majority who have joined your seminars, have read your books, have met you in person, continue to love and support you!

I wish to meet you one day, Adam, but I would like to do so when I reach my financial-freedom day. Till then, take care.
