Petronas National Day TVad

Oh yes! finally I found the video online!

The first time I saw this national day advertisement by Petronas on TV3, I was struck by the message that it wants to convey. The meaning finally dawned on me after my mind went blank for a while. Oh my... What struck me most is the strength of the message that it wants to convey. It will hit people direct at their heart, esp Malaysians. Especially Malaysians with the same condition... well I shall not state too deliberately here what condition is that in case I got sued. haha... Well... siapa yang makan cili, dia yang terasa pedasnya.

My experiement on a Malaysian and a Singaporean colleague proved interesting. After I've pointed out the advertisement to them and explained the meaning of the narration, my colleague, who is a Malaysian went ahh....(got it!) while my Singaporean colleague wasn't so sure what it means.

I'm not trying to see who is smarter here; it is more because we Malaysians shared the same background, the same 'culture' and almost the same kind of 'upbringing', with about the same sentiments, if we are of the same condition. This common understanding enabled us to instantly know the deeper meaning of the advertisement.

I would want to tell the whole story of the commercial here, but it will spoil the suspense for you. So I shall keep the suspense and let you watch it for yourself.

Catch this meaningful commercial here Petronas National Day TVAd and feel free to share your feelings about it.

**Oh wow! really have to thank my colleague for pointing out to me where to get this commercial. Been searching for it online but can't find it, not even on YouTube.com. Initially wanted to post the video clip here for all to enjoy.

*** Happy 49th National Day my dear Country Malaysia! :D I will be flying the national flag in my room hehehehe :P Dunno what trouble public display of patriotism for my country in a foreign country would cause me...:)

Anyway, by spreading this little message of patriotism to my fellow countrymen is also a way of showing my love for the country~ :) So, you too can make a difference, spread the message of love to your friends and family. Refer them here! :D

What Would You Do If You Were A Millionaire By 26?

That's an interesting question, isn't it?

Because how many of us actually get to become millionaires at just age 26.

Almost none!

When we think of someone who is that successful at such a young age, we usually think of some hotshot that had all the right things going and the right path all laid out right in front of him.

And I wouldn't fault you for that because that is how it usually happens.

==> Yah, usually but not this

But have you ever thought of how an ordinary guy can become a millionaire at age 26?

How about a Loser, FAILURE and a juvenile misfit who got kicked out of school becoming a millionaire at age 26?

I know exactly what you're thinking. 'That's IMPOSSIBLE!'

Well, I just met someone who did. And I'm not kidding.

This guy was a COMPLETE juvenile misfit, a total FAILURE in everything he did and an all out LOSER in life and he became a millionaire at age 26.

And he's a MULTI-millionaire today.

==> Verify it for yourself

His name is Adam Khoo and he is a self-made millionaire at age 26, one of the TOP speakers in Asia and a very successful businessman today.

He has spoken to over 245,000 professionals, executives and business owners to tap their personal power and achieve excellence in their various fields of endeavor.

Some of his corporate clients even include Tupperware, American International Assurance, Prudential, Lux Asia, Rolls Royce Marine and many more.

Now my intention is not to impress you with what he has achieved but to show you that if a 'Loser' like him can do it.

Why can't you?

He made it because he discovered the RIGHT strategies and principles to create abundant wealth in life. And he made it even though he started out from the BOTTOM rung.

You have to check his story out because you'll be hard-pressed to find a more captivating one than this:

The Story of Coca-Cola

I heard of a story today, about a can of Coca-Cola.

How much does a can of Coke cost in NTUC Fairprice? $0.65 probably.

How much does a can of Coke cost in a restaurant? $2.00-$3.00 probably.

How much does a can of Coke cost in a five-star hotel? $10.00 probably.

Why is it that a can of Coke, a similar can of Coke, can have such different value?

The environment. The environment the can of Coke is in, determines its value.

Do you want to be a can of Coke in NTUC Fairprice or a can of Coke in a restaurant, or a can of Coke in a five-star restaurant?
