FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS AUTHOR WANTED

FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS AUTHOR WANTED

Very Happy day, everyone!
Trust you are all have a fabulous week and looking forward to the weekend.
I have a favour to ask of you all. I'm doing a bit of a revamp of my financial blog and I really want to make it a bit more interactive, and one of the ideas I came up with was to interview some Financial and Business Authors.
I have done some kind of interviewing people in my other blogs, so I thought it might be a bit of fun and of course, it will get the author some more exposure and it will hopefully get my financial blog some more exposure so we all win!
So, here's my plan. If you are keen, drop me an email at jamesoh2003@yahoo.co.uk with your name, location, title of your most recent book, and a brief introduction of yourself and what the book is about. I will then send you a list of questions for you to answer. Then, please send me the questions back with your answers to me along with a photo of yourself and a photo of your book.
Then I will let you know when your interview will be posted on my blog. We could even arrange to give away a book to a blog reader if you like.
So! Please pass this on to any other authors you know, or shoot me that email if you are the author we are looking for!
Many thanks, and have a great weekend!

LETTING GO AND MOVING FORWARD (SPEECH)


LET GO AND MOVE ON

Life is like a roller-coaster. Sometimes it is a sunny day and sometimes it is a rainy day. Do you let the rainy day to disappoint, demoralise and depress you?

I have an unfortunate and agonizing experience. It all began 17 years ago when my wife and I took our 1 year old son to be warded in a modern and well-equipped Hospital because he was very sick.

Coincidently my wife, who was more than 30 weeks into her pregnancy, complained about her abdominal pains at the same time. She was sent to the delivery ward at the same hospital.

I was not prepared for what happened next!

The 'state of the art' hospital then HARASSED me with phone calls on my mobile phone demanding me to settle my wife's consultancy fee at the counter immediately. I said I would, but pleaded to stay with my frightened ill son for a while. The hospital was nastily adamant and I had no other choice, I threw the phone down on to the floor as I was very upset and began regretting my choice of hospital!

While returning to the children’s ward, my wife began complaining about a second, more acute, pain.

We wheeled her off to the emergency ward but were referred to the delivery ward, after much hassle.

We then returned to consult the same midwife that attended to my wife the first time. She took 3 tests which annoyingly lasted nearly an hour with her irrational excuses that the earlier tests were not accurate.

Under the given circumstances, I literally had to bite my tongue, swallowed my anger with all these ridiculous explanations. Finally she contacted the gynecologist and mentioned ‘heavy flow’ which made me sensed strongly that something was amiss.

After 20 minutes, the gynecologist arrived and immediately contacted the operating theater's personnel through the phone without much explanation.

After a short talk, he slammed down his phone and rushed to the operating theater to operate on my wife. Whilst being gratified with the gynecologist’s efficiency and devotion, I had to push the other staff members hard because they worked like snails with an indifferent attitude and unprofessional mannerism. This was totally different from the TV series of 911 documentary movies.


After a long wait of 2 hours for the operation, the gynecologist came back, with both good and sad announcements. He claimed he had done all his best and saved my wife, but the bad news was that our child was stillborn. I was distraught and devastated. I simply could not accept this second fact, knowing what all those ludicrous actions and omissions committed by the Hospital before the operation.

Worst still my wife's medication was mixed up with that of another patient.

AT the end, nothing constructive actions happened after that and the matter just died a natural death. I have kept this bitter experience in me for the past 17 years, even to the last meeting when I failed to deliver this speech.

Today, I have realized that the storm in my life is to make me stronger and better, not bitter.

Dear friends, your past cannot alter and your future does not deserve punishment. Learn to let go and move on with an open mind, jolly soul and forgiving heart. Just remember –a sound emotional and physical health is greater wealth.

Over to you, TME.

COMPETING FOR THE FUTURE

COMPETING FOR THE FUTURE

TO compete
For your future.
The greater clarity of vision you have
with regard to the future
you wish to create,
 
the easier it is for you to make
the daily decisions necessary to reach that future.
Though it does not guarantee
Success, otherwise
it guarantees failure.
So, imagine the perfect future
you desire without compromising for short term advantage.
Be clear of your values and beliefs that animate
and motivate
your work towards your future
with specific and measurable goals.

HEALTH IS WEALTH

Hi! Everyone,


Have you ever experienced being disappointed, demoralized and depressed when the people you have depended on, lets you down?




I do have an unfortunate and agonizing experience. It all began 17 years ago when my wife and I took our 1 year old son to be warded in a modern and well-equipped Hospital because of illness.

Unfortunately, my wife, who was 30 plus weeks into her pregnancy, began complaining about abdominal painsat the same time, and was sent to the delivery ward at the same hospital.

Talk about a double whammy! I was not prepared for what happened next!

The 'state of art' hospital then HARASSED me with phone calls to my mobile phone demanding me to settle my wife's consultancy fee at the counter immediately. I said I would, but pleaded to stay with my frightened ill son for a while. The hospital was nastily adamant and I had no other choice, I threw the phone down to the floor as I was very upset and began regretting my choice of hospital!

Again, my wife began complaining about a second, more acute, pain just a short while upon her return.

We wheeled her off to theemergency ward but were referred to the delivery ward, after few rounds of hassle with the medical staff.

We then returned to consult the same midwife that attended to my wife the first time. She took 3 tests which annoyingly lasted nearly an hour with her irrational excuses that the earlier tests were not accurate.

But in the given circumstances, I literally had to bite my tongue and swallow my blood with all these ridiculous explanations. She finally contacted the gynecologist and mentioned something of heavy technical flow which made me sensed strongly that something was amiss.

After 20 minutes, the gynecologist arrived and immediately contacted the operating theater's personnel through phone without much explanation.

After a short talk, heslammed down his phone and rushed to the operating theater to operate my wife. Whilst being gratified with the gynecologist’s efficiency and devotion, I had to push the other staff hard because they worked like snails with irking lackadaisical attitude and slapdash mannerism. Hey, this was totally different from what I saw from the TV series of 911 documentary movies.

After a long wait of 2 hours for the operation, the gynecologist came back, with both good and sad announcements. He claimed he had done all his best and saved my wife, but the bad news was that our child was stillborn. Can you visualize how distraught and devastated I was? I simply could not accept this second fact, knowing what all those ludicrous actions and omissions committed by the Hospital before the operation.

But my agonizing and antagonizing trip to Hell did not end there.

I was flabbergasted when I found out later that my wife's medication was mixed up with that of another patient. Guess what? The hospital just casually informed that the mix up was not a big matter, because it only involved some vitamins. Of course, it was not acceptable even if it was true. I decided to pursue the whole matter to a higher level for our justice and fairness.

The Hospital's CEO eventually interfered and proposed to meet me at a Hotel to resolve my grievance with conditions that no recording device and reporter were allowed. Unfortunately, our meetings were not fruitful. What happened in the end?

You are right, nothing constructive happened after that and this matter just died at natural death.Today, I have forgiven, though I did not forget.

My friends, my message is :always cultivate and nurture your good health. But if you do need medical treatment, please be vigilant of the medical establishment you choose.

Most importantly, whenever any ordeal hits you, never let your past experiences impair your future. Your past cannot alter and your future does not deserve punishment. Learn to let go and move on with open mind, jolly soul and forgiving heart. Just remember - a sound emotional and physical health is a greater wealth.
