MUS = Marco's University Of Success.

I look forward to hearing from you.I definitely would love to share my knowledge with you on the books that will help you.

How To Get The Most Out Of Everyday...Maximizing Your 24 Hours

Yes,you are thinking the right way.24 hours is really not enough for me.Today you will discover how you can maximise your 24 hours.That is assuming you are as busy as me.If you have lots of time to waste,then this is not for you.

I will share with you a few tips on how to maximise your output each day.Whatever that you read here is tested by me.I am using these tips myself.Don't worry,I practice what I preach.

The first tip is to have a plan.Before your day starts,you must have a plan on what you are aiming to achieve.Set realistic goals.Make sure that you are able to fulfill what you write down.Best way to do this is to use an organiser.

Write down all your appointments,and whatever you need to do for each day.

Secondly,have deadlines for everything you do.When you have deadlines,you won't idle.You won't procastinate.Set yourself a deadline.Even for simple tasks like cleaning your room or washing your car.

If you have problems remembering,write them down in your organiser.

Now,you are probably wondering...what if there are sudden disruptions?And what if I can't finish what I need to finish?What would I do?

Relax...relax...Let me share with you what I do.

For me,it depends on how long the disruption is.If the disruption takes up a lot of time,then I will try to multi-task.Bring out the work I need to do or books I need to read.There are times when you need to queue or wait for long periods of time.

These are the minutes you can save by reading a few pages of the book you intend to finish.Or write a few sentences on whatever copy you are working on.

If you really cannot finish,then you need to work later into the night.Or if you are really tired,then go ahead and sleep.But work doubly hard the next day.That's what I always do.But don't keep putting things off.

Because if you do,work will keep pilling up and you end up being overwhelmed.

Third,prioritize.Know what is really important and what is not so important.Many people fail to prioritize correctly.And they end up wasting a lot of time.You must be able to separate the important and the less important.

Fourth,know when to say "NO".Now,speaking from experience...there are many times when certain people keep asking me for my time.I don't mind spending time with people who add value to my life.I don't mind spending time on those who need my help either.Neither do I mind spending time mentoring those who need me.

But I do mind a lot when people call me up to whine and complain.To make matters worse,they like to repeat the same complain over and over again.It really gets on my nerves.So the best thing to do when you encounter people like that,is to say "NO".

Say it politely "I'm sorry,I'm busy now.Let's talk another day.".If they ask you out,reject them.Unless you really have to much time to waste.If you are like me,you don't have time to listen to whiners and complainers.

Let them stay mediocre.Let them complain.But don't let them affect you.You have better things to do.

Fifth,maximising time whenever you can.It can be when you are waiting for someone,waiting for a bus or travelling on a bus.You maybe surprised,these little minutes add up to many hours that you can save per day.

I always have a few books ready for me to read.You seldom see me without a book.And I don't get pissed off when people turn up late for their appointments with me.I simply find a corner and read.

Sometimes I thank them for being late.Because it gives me a chance to finish what I set out to read.

Sixth,concentration.Always concentrate on what you are doing.Don't allow anything to mess up with you schedule.Phone calls,SMSes,MSN messages and etc.Either turn all of these off or ignore them.There's a time for phone calls and messages.But when it's time to work,work all the way!

Some other things that will affect your concentration are your family members.If you are staying with your parents,you probably know what I mean.They don't understand that you are busy.When they call you and you don't answer immediately,they get angry.

Sometimes when you are deep in thought,they come and call you.If it's important,it's ok.But if it's something unimportant...well,you know how annoying it can get.But they don't understand it.In order to solve this problem,get out of the house and find a library to do your work.

Next,things like E-mail and web browsers should be closed.You will get diverted from your work because of an interesting E-mail or some advertisements.Don't allow anything or anyone to mess up with your schedule.

There is a time and place for everything.Of course I'm not advocating that you be a selfish person and ignore everybody.But know when to do the right thing is very important.

Remember...you only have 24 hours per day.No more,no less.Once they are gone,they won't come back.Live wisely.God bless you.

Giving Others More Allowance & Being More Tolerant

2 weeks since I last wrote anything here.Plenty has happended.In fact,24 hours a day seem too little for me.There's so much to do yet so little time.

I had to work,and my dad had to go to hospital for an eye operation.Trust me,the hospital is not a nice place to be in.And I feel sorry for the doctors and nurses and at the same time appreciate them.They seem to have no life.The patients are never-ending.They don't even have the time to eat.

Anyway,recently something happended to make me think twice before getting impatient with people.I'm constantly on the move and I move fast.I get pissed when people block my way or somehow delay me for no good reason.

I can't seem to understand why people must be slow.Can't they be more alert?Can't they make way when someone is trying to pass through?

When I'm walking in shopping malls or along the street,if someone is obstructing me,I'll wait for a few seconds for them to realise I'm there.If they don't,I'll just push my way through.When driving along expressways,I really hate it when some idiots cut into the right lane(fast lane) and then travel at only 90km/h.

If I'm driving at 90,I'll move into the center lane.But usually I drive between 100 to 120km/h.Most of the time I'm in the right lane.And I get real irritated when an idiot in front of me is travelling at 80 or 90.

You can say that I'm a critical person.Because I have high expectations of myself.I expect people to be the same.I don't like to obstruct people and I always want things to be done fast.Never like wasting time.

But one day...I realised that I obstructed people too.But without meaning to.I had too many things on my mind.

One evening,I was crossing Boundary Road...I saw a car approaching.But thinking that the traffic light turned red,it would stop and I could cross.Despite the pedestrian light being red,I still crossed.

Because I was deep in thought,I walked very slowly.That car stopped for me to cross.But when I reached the other side of the road,I realised something...

The turning light was green,and that car was intending to turn.At that moment I felt really bad.I shouldn't have crossed.That driver was in the right.He could have sounded his horn.But he didn't.He probably gave me the benefit of the doubt that I didn't intentionally wanted to obstruct his way.

From that moment onwards,I started to become more patient and tolerant towards others.Sometimes we get angry with people for obstructing our way or delaying us.It doesn't affect the other person at all.But it spoils our day.

I learnt one thing...before getting angry with someone who obstructs your way,just think in this way..."Maybe he/she has something on his/her mind.He/she doesn't mean to obstruct my way.".

When you start thinking in this way,you won't feel so mad.And you become a more tolerant person.I have learnt my lesson.If you are also an impatient person like me,you might want to do the same thing as I did.

"As Long As My Children & Grandchildren Are Blessed,I'm Happy,It's Money Well Spent." - Grandpa

I seldom write about people.But this is one person that I respect tremendously.I didn't know too much about him.Until after this trip to Xiamen.I discovered that he was not the person I made him out to be.

He is none other than my Ah Gong(My mum's father).My initial impression of my Ah Gong is that he's a very serious and strict person.Though he's easy going,he can be pretty stubborn at times.


He is 84 years old this year,but he's still healthy and strong.As you can see in the 2 photos below.The photo directly below is taken at Huan Dao Road Waterfront Park,Xiamen.




The photo below is taken at the Xiamen Ferry Terminal,going towards Gu Lang Yu.The cute little boy is my cousin Jia Jia.

You may be wondering what made me respect my grandpa so much...

Well,the story starts off when I was around 9 years old.One night,my parents left me at home with nothing to eat.I was terribly hungry then.Around 9pm,my grandma called.She asked if I had eaten.I said nope.She said she'll cook and bring down some food for me.

I thought she was kidding.You know...adults like to give empty promises to kids.(Well,I won't do that to my kids)

At around 10pm,my grandma and grandpa arrived at my home with a few dishes and rice,all put in a tiffin carrier.There was Fried Fish and Braised Pork.I was very touched by what they did.Nearly cried.

My parents came back,surprised at why my grandparents are at my home.Then my grandma told them the whole story.My parents left me at home because I was naughty.

Till this day,I have not forgotten what my grandparents have did for me that day.I'm looking for any chance to repay their kindness.


That was in Singapore.When I went over to China,I discovered that my grandpa was a philantrophist.He contributed a lot of money to repair the roads to his village in his hometown.Besides the roads,he helped to raise funds for the village school,refurnished the temple and his ancestors' house.


When I went back with him,I realised that he was very well respected there.His brother passed away at a young age.My grandpa took up the responsibility for providing for his brother's children.


I realised why they respected him so much.He was very generous and kind towards his relatives.When they saw him,you could see the joy in their eyes.They are sincerely happy to see him back.


See the house in the photo below?That was built by my grandpa 31 years ago.Back then his business wasn't doing very well.But the relatives asked him for money to build the house.He agreed even though he wasn't that well to do.Of course my grandma was pretty mad about it.
Before I went over,my grandma told me to be wary of my grandpa's China relatives.Why?I asked my grandma.She told me that they very "gian lui"(money face in Hokkien).Not only that,they are also busybodies.

I was quite careful when I went over.But they were not as bad as what grandma commented.In fact,I kind of liked them because of their sincerity.

After sometime then I understood why grandma didn't like them.It seems that they keep asking for donations from grandpa and he seems to spending a lot of money there.I asked grandpa why did grandpa object to him donating money to the village projects.

His response was quite overwhelming.He spoke indignantly...

"Your ah ma is a 'gian siap gui'(miser in Hokkien).To me,doing good is more important.This type of money is well spent.After all,my doing all these,I'm sowing good seeds.As long as my children & grandchildren are blessed,I'm happy.It's money well-spent."

I agree with him.As long as the money is spent blessing others,it's money well spent.I totally agree with my grandpa.However,not many people agree with me.Especially my parents.Well,see if you agree with this...


If you can give,it means that you have plenty.You can't outgive God.God blessed you to be a blessing to others.If you become miserly and selfish,how can God trust you with more blessings?

Of course the above is my own theory.I believe that I'm living in an abundant world.I believe that God blessed me to be a blessing to others.And indeed,when I start blessing others,I myself get more blessings.

Try it.Be a giver.When you start giving,you will receive more.The good energy gets transferred.

The photo above shows the door of my grandpa's ancestors' home.The whole house was refurnished because of his donations.

The photo below shows the roof of the ancestors' home.Look at all the holes being patched.It was all my grandpa's contributions.

Of course my grandpa suffered certain setbacks when he was too helpful and generous.There were some people who tried to cheat his money.There was this relative who cheated him RMB 3 million.But this joker's son died mysteriously a few years ago.Is God fair?I think He is.

Grandpa asked my uncle to help him get the money back from this joker.I went with them to negotiate.Although I didn't participate,I found this joker very cunning.He kept telling my grandpa how pitiful he was and how bad his financial situation was.

My grandpa felt sorry and didn't really pursue the matter too forcefully.That's his weak point.He tends to sympathise with people easily.Even if they are pretending to be in a sorry state.In the end the case was left hanging.

Interesting,although grandpa didn't study the Laws of Prosperity like me,he seemed to know a little bit about them.One day,I was chatting with him about this relative from my dad's side who is always jealous of others being better than him.And whenever this happends,that relative will try his best to sabotage that person who is better than him.

The response from my grandpa startled me.This was what he said..."How can this person attract good into his life if he keeps getting jealous of others?"

Then he continued...."We must be happy for others,celebrate their success and happiness.In this way,then we will also attract good into our lives."

Wow,isn't that from Randy Gage's Prosperity CD album?But hey my grandpa doesn't understand english,let alone speak it.

One thing that drew him closer to me was this...

I didn't know he had the same interest as me until the day we returned from Xiamen.I bought a biography of the World's Tea King,Li Rui He,at the Xiamen Airport before leaving.Grandpa asked me what I bought.I showed him.He told me it was good to read such books.

Then I asked him if he read a lot of biographies.He told me yes.He loved to learn from the successful people.Hey,that's just like me.I love to read biographies too.Throughout all these years of studying in Marco University,I have learnt a lot from biographies.

Hahaha I was so happy to know that there was someone in the family who shared a lot in common as me.I always thought I was the odd one out.I'm really glad that I went to Xiamen this time.If not I wouldn't have known my grandpa for who he really is.

I'm thankful to God that He has given me wonderful grandparents.I know that there's ONE gift I can give them to make them happy.Just that ONE GIFT...

And that is to be successful and make them proud of me.My grandparents are always very happy when any of their grandchildren achieve results,whether in studies or work.One of the reasons I have to become successful,other than for myself,is for them.

May God bless them with great health,happiness and bless my business.And bless you reader.May you be prosperous.
