Literature in Life

We can see people everywhere. Their behavior is so unique with one another. People waiting for bus. People walking through mall. People eating. People chatting. People talk to the phone. There are a lot of things that going on every second in this lovely planet called earth.

People gesture with different style in different culture and custom. The way people eat is different in each culture. The food is also different. People talk in their own language. People speak in their own language. Sometimes we think that what the other people say is rude but it is actually normal in their culture. We can see the beautiful of it when we open to see what is in others.

Everyone has their own purpose of life. Some live to help others. Some live to be famous. Some live to just for the sake of living. We are so different in the way we are thinking. And also we are actually different. We have unique finger prints. We have unique DNA.

Culture may affect way our judgment. Custom may affect the way we see things. Its beautiful as to say that this is how we live in this world. So just have fun and have the journey of life...

Money - Financial Quotient

Most people try to save money for retirement. They think money is hard to get. That is why they work hard for money. Their believe to have more money is to work more hours or to have more than one job. I'm not against in working hard. All we need is work hard with smart strategy. For them the only way to earn money is to go to work. The mentality of 'money doesn't grow on trees' makes them believe its hard to earn money. Life is hard. No time. Tired of working.

They cannot think to earn money in different form. They cannot have that vision of money in terms of investment, money in terms of passive income or assets.

Rich people invest for retirement. They don't save for retirement. They create passive income from assets. They buy or they create assets that can generate money without their involvement in the money generation vehicles. They know how money works.

We don't have to be smart to have money. We don't have to have a Phd to have financial security. We just have to learn. Change the mindset. Re-educate yourself. We have all the information we need in this modernize world.

Money - Fundamental

Money as of our understanding is the medium for exchange of something in value. As in history money is in the form of something that can be trade of. Early civilization, they use barter trade as a form for exchange goods.

In Islam, we use dinar and dirham which has the standard gold and silver for trading. This is the best standard money for trading because it is not influence by any speculation or anything.

The paper money we have now used to be backed by gold. But now our money all over the world is influence by its currency. The faster the money move the more value is the money.

When money is printed with no control, the money will have no value or the value will shrink. That is how money works. In economy its about supply and demand. When more money is printed, we are flood with money that we don't own. Hence, the overall value of money will decline.

That is why in this modern civilization, saving is not the best way to increase your money. You have to leverage and multiply your money to grow what you have now. We are now living in a capitalize and very volatile world. This is how people with money control the economy. Those who only work and doesn't feel to improve in their financial strategy or financial knowledge will be left behind.

John Legend - Everybody Knows

It gets harder every day, but I can’t seem to shake the pain
I’m trying to find the words to say, please say
It’s written all over my face, that I can’t
Function the same when you’re not here
I’m calling your name and no one’s there
And I hope one day you’ll see nobody has it easy,
I still can’t believe you found somebody new
But I wish you the best, I guess.
‘Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
We’ve heard it all before, that everybody knows
Just how to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
One more try
One more try
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

I don’t care what the people say
They're probably lonely anyway
Baby don’t fill up your head with he-said, she-said
It seems like you just don’t know
The radio’s on, you're tuning me out,
I’m trying to speak, you’re turning me down

And I hope one day you’ll see nobody has it easy,
I still can’t believe you found somebody new
But I wish you the best, I guess.
‘Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
We’ve heard it all before, that everybody knows
Just how to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
One more try
One more try
One more try
‘Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

Oh I wish you’d understand
Oh, just an ordinary man
Wish that we had known
Everybody knows, but nobody really knows
And I know one day you’ll see, nobody has it easy
I still can’t believe you found somebody new
I wish you the best, I guess.

‘Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
We’ve heard it all before, that everybody knows
Just how to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
One more try
One more try
One more try
‘Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

Falling Slowly

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
