Robert Kiyosaki's Top Ten


“People should create luck and not wait around for it. “
- Robert Kiyosaki

Ever imagined what is in the edge of success? Nice house, beautiful wife, lovely children, latest car, cool appliances and gadgets, and a high position in a big company but then suddenly the company you’re working went bankrupt and you lost your job with a family to feed, house and car to be paid. Then ever imagined you not ever worrying anything like it? Many people work very hard but they never seem to earn enough. Money will not solve anything; it will even get most people into more debt. Money is not the problem here, it’s the use of money.

So what’s the secret? Financial intelligence to have financial independence or freedom. Robert Kiyosaki, an eighth grade dropout entrepreneur and investor is one of the most financial literary activist and commentators today. His book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” is rated as one of the best personal finance books of all times and in it he details many ways to achieve financial freedom.

Here it goes…

1. Decide and Start Today
Don’t depend your whole life working to put a little money in your pocket and a bunch on someone else’s. Decide to leave the rat race and start to work not on a job but on people to put money on your pocket. Understand that every decision you make today will impact your life tomorrow. Get out of your comfort zone and recognize opportunities.

2. Be Financially Literate
Kiyosaki says, “Intelligence solves problems and produces money. Money w/o financial intelligence is money soon gone.” You should know the difference between an asset (something that puts money in your pocket) and liability (something which takes money out of your pocket). Evaluate your finances. He says that being ignorant gets you bullied whereas being informed translates into “you have a fighting chance.” You don’t have to go to school for that, you can read references or consult mentors who can guide you.

3. Budget
Budgeting and living within its limitations may be hard especially when you’re used to uncontrollable spending. This is a crucial and important activity. It gives you a sense of accountability. It gives you the input you need to manage your income and control your expenses.

4. Simplify
Life is becoming more complex nowadays with all the shiny temptations around which can blurr your financial goal. So learn to simplify your life free from all those clutters. Do not follow the crowd and be the crowd.

5. Debts are a No-no
Debts dry you up and hinder you from financial freedom. It is one of the leading causes of financial insecurities. You should bear in mind and make it your passion to be debt-free.

6. Pay Yourself First
Even if short of cash, you must pay yourself first. Pay yourself with cash flow, people and personal time. Cash flow like emergency funds or saving; people like spending time with your family and; personal time - yourself.

7. Be Generous
As commonly known, “the more you give the more you receive.” It is not accounting-wise; it’s just how nature works. “Teach and you shall receive. There are powers in his world that are much smarter than we are. You can get there on your own. But it’s easier with the help of the powers that be. All you need to be is generous with what you have and the powers will be generous to you” says Kiyosaki.

8. Have a Clear Purpose
Why do you want to earn more? Because I don’t want to work my entire life or I want to have a control over how I decide to spend my time or I want to support my parents financially who worked hard their entire life. Make it clear and focus on it. It’s when you have them that keeps you going and motivates you to live and enjoy the life you long to live.

9. Learn. Learn. Learn.
Learning is not a goal, it’s an ongoing process. Never stop learning. Continue to ask questions and absorb new ideas. This is how you grow. Keep the learning curve alive.

10. Network Marketing
The low startup cost of setting up a network marketing company is a great advantage. It is very hard to start a big business without a huge investment and time. It gives you time to build your business skills and transforms you into a business person easily. It supplies you with a residual income. So you make money while you sleep and travel.

Financial freedom is not an easy journey but with faith, determination, discipline, courage, love for family and life, the journey can be a less rough one. Be ready to change your life. Kiyosaki says, “Before you can transform your wallet from poor to rich, you've got to transform your spirit from poor to rich. Luxuries are experienced when they are outward manifestations of intelligent investing and asset building.” So be ready to be financially free and live those luxuries.

Why Do We Need To Take Food Supplements?


You know that feeling when something just isn't enough? Human as we are, contentment seldom happens. We always look for something better even if we already have the best. We long for a better job, better look, even a better, just better everything. In other words, it became the whole of us- the longing for something better; it became more of a NEED and not just a want.

For a better health, even healthy people look for drugs that can maintain their health. Supplements are commonly used. Dietary Supplements are substances taken to remedy the deficiencies in a person’s diet(Oxford Dictionary). It may include vitamins, fiber, fatty acids, etc. But why? Why take these?

It is common knowledge that we can get nutrients from the food available around us. But, with the changes being placed on the environment, nutrients obtained are decreasing. With the current commercial agricultural techniques, our soil become deficient in important nutrients thus the food grown in that soil share the same mineral deficiency.

When we say current commercial agricultural techniques, it does not only apply to our soil but also to the crops like fruits and vegetables. Without thinking of the nutritious that can be affected, they genetically breed crops to make it more appealing and produce more yields.

Unknowingly, we consumers buy those crops thinking that we can get enough nutrients from those as we all know those are healthy food. Aside from agriculture, food processing is also considered why we should take supplements. Imported goods are appreciated nowadays already and for those goods to preserve its quality as they were travelled long distances, preservatives are added which depletes its vitamins such as B complex and Vitamin C.

Not only on what they’ve done to our food, which affects the amount of nutrients we absorb in our body but also on our improving technology and eating habits. Food should be chewed well to promote good digestion but because of the fast pace world today, eating on the run and insufficient chewing is common which leads to poor digestion thus the inability to absorb the nutrients from the food we eat. As with the improving technology, environmental pollution and stress is its effects which results to an increase need of our body for nutrients such as antioxidants to detoxify or eliminate those harmful substances.

The discovery of pharmaceutical drugs is also part of our improving technology and has been commonly used by us. Even a simple headache, we immediately use drugs as a remedy. But when we scan through its side effects, certain nutrients are compromised so the use of supplements is needed side by side with the drug use.

Genetic changes of our body such as pregnancy, hormonal changes and aging also affect our need for those nutritional supplements. For example, folic acid needs tend to be higher during pregnancy, menopausal woman may be vulnerable for calcium deficiencies and genetic illness, which results to vitamin or mineral deficiencies, demands higher needs of some nutrients.

At the same time, supplements have been proven to prevent or aid in the treatment of health conditions like high cholesterol, arthritis, birth defects and cancer. With regards to this, we should also need to consult a qualified health professional to prevent interactions, side effects or complications.

Our health should be considered a priority. What are we to do with those riches or with those grand positions in a company or those high end brands of cars if the problem is our health? It’s all we have in order to live life fully. Stay young and healthy. Choose to live a good life.

Why You Should Be Growing Your Own Business



“Winners compare their achievements with their goals, while losers compare their achievements with those of other people.”--Nido Qubein

It has been tradition that education is the key to success. Graduate through college, get a job, get laid off, get another job, get laid off again and the cycle goes like that until you retire (without the secure retirement). People have been in, what is commonly called, the Rat Race thinking that it is the safer way to earn money. Rat race is actually, the unpleasant life of people who have jobs that require them to work very hard in order to compete with others for money, power, status, etc. (Merriam-Webster).

It’s hurting to realize that after years of working under a company, even doing all nighters, they just can’t hold unto you. Unfair. Right? Well, not for the company though. It’s just plain business for them. So, what should you do? There you are left hanging with a wife and children to clothe and feed. You decide.

Starting a business can be intimidating and frightening. Pessimists would say, “Don’t get into it, you’ll just fail”, or “It’s just a waste of your time and money (a whole lot of it)”, or “You’ll just get your hands dirty”. Those are just some of the words you can hear from people which could make you doubt from getting into the business world. And here I am to kick your ass (not literally though) so you can get your engine starting. Just to clear off your doubts and fears, I’ll show you a glimpse of what you can have when you become an entrepreneur.

Years or generations ago, when we talk about Job Security, it meant working in a big company and making a business on your own was risky. But for today, the opposite is happening.  Working for your self has become the new Job Security. “If I’ m working for someone else, I’m trading time for money, but I’m not building any equity. As an entrepreneur, I’m the master of my own destiny,” says Duncan MacPherson, co-founder and co-CEO of Pareto Systems, a consulting firm.

Another benefit is Freedom. Ever imagine you not being obliged to wake up early, no bosses, being able to attend to family outings, and not deal with co-workers you don’t like? You have the freedom to design your own success without compromising your relationship with your loved ones. Aside from that, with the improving technology nowadays, you can do your business online. Dealing with partners or customers across the globe is not a problem anymore. With just a simple click, emails and conference calls can be done. It’s Flexibility that you can get.

I like the line of Jeffrey Gitomer, best-selling author of the Little Red Book of Selling and The Little Gold Book of Yes! Attitude, “When you’re in business for yourself, you write your own history, you write your own success story, you write your own legacy and most important, you write your own paycheck. Being in business for your self gives you the opportunity to work your heart out for something you love.”

You have the leisure to do what you’re passionate about and at the same time Make More Money from it. It can also create a Life of Greater Impact not just on you but also on the people around you. Doing something you love makes you do it well.  It also provides you a Second Career.  It’s just so different if we do things that reflect our personality, something that matters.

Author Dan Clements (Escape 101) says, “Leaving the rat race is not as daunting as it may seem, you’ll look back in later years and marvel at how easy it was and how much you gained for so little cost.” So, take the plunge, take a leap of faith and courage. You might be thinking that you’re not qualified because you don’t have that MBA, or cash to start with, or you’re not good with numbers.

What the hell? The only qualification needed is your “Burning Desire” (as what Napoleon Hill emphasizes) and that indestructible passion in you. If you have that, everything else will all come naturally. You only need the Why for the What and the How to come in. Believe and Act. Act fast. For if you don’t start now, then, when? As what Henry Ford says, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are Right.” Choose well. It’s never too late to have a good life.

Vitamins: What Your Momma Didn't Tell You

They say, “you are what you eat.” When you eat unhealthy food, you’ll look unhealthy, ugly and old and if you eat nutritious, healthy food, you’ll look beautifully healthy. That would be partly true because a lot are also wondering that no matter how they modify their diet complete with those multis and supplements, it just isn’t enough. Why? According to Dr. Mary Lupo, clinical professor of dermatology at Tulane University School of Medicine, "the body delivers only a certain percentage of vitamins to your skin, no matter how much you ingest". So, what do we do?

Here comes the role of the topical(applied to the skin) vitamins to achieve that maximum anti-aging benefit from improving tone and texture to the fading of those most dreaded eye bags. So, brace yourselves for men and women alike would soon be hovering around you once you religiously follow this guide. The 5 best vitamins are: 1. Vitamin A, 2. Vitamin B3, 3. Vitamin C, 4. Vitamin E, 5. Vitamin K.

Vitamin A is proven best for reducing wrinkles, fading brown spots and smoothing roughness. Preparations are OTC (over-the-counter) lotions, retinoids and prescription products. Vitamin A is best applied at night for sunlight inactivates most forms of Vitamin A thus the reduced effect. If you want the instant effect, go for prescription retinoids. Works the fastest, within 4-8 weeks, but side effect would be irritation, redness, scaling and flaking. For starters, OTC products are advised because it has fewer side effects. For lesser irritation, use it every 2nd or 3rd night and may increase it to nightly thereafter. 

According to Dr. Leslie S. Bauman,  "As that barrier is strengthened, skin is better able to keep moisture in and irritants out—making B3 a great ingredient if your complexion is dry or sensitive". That is the amazing work of Vitamin B3 (niacinamide), our second of the list.

B3 increases the production of ceramides and fatty acids (2 key components of our skin’s outer protective barrier). It also minimizes dark spots by stopping the transfer of pigments to the skin cells. Preparations are found in lotions, creams and serums. It is best applied in the morning and evening.  "Mix them (retinoid and niacinamide) together in the palm of your hand before applying—they won't inactivate each other", says Bauman. Mixing both decreases side effects and even produces superior anti-aging benefit.

Knowing this, maybe scientists could make something which contains both to lessen the hassle of mixing them plus less expense. Right? Just Saying. Moving on, the 3rd of our list is Vitamin C.

It works to get rid of the wrinkles, sagging and other aging changes of the skin. Vitamin C is found in moisturizers. It may have the same job as what retinoids (Vitamin A) does, but using both may produce an even better and obvious effect. Quoting Dr. Lupo, "skin aging occurs in various ways, so you need multiple forms of defense and repair". It should be applied in the morning before your sunscreen to keep your skin protected by those free radicals that can’t be blocked by your sunscreens. Fourthly, is 

Vitamin E (sunscreens). It is named “the protector” for its potent ability to neutralize the damaging effect of free radicals. Free radicals are simply particles that damage healthy cells. It is applied before and after sun exposure and should go hand in hand with Vitamin C to ensure effectiveness. Another aging problem is the under-eye circles. It usually happens when fragile capillaries cause blood to leak to the skin.

To lighten those “panda-eyes”, the job of Vitamin K (phytonadione) comes in. Vitamin K is the clotting vitamin that controls the seepage. Its preparations are found in eye creams but may also usually contain retinol so usage would also be like retinol. That was the last but not the least of our list. Phew! That was a lot yet worth-the-effort routine. So, you better try it now.

Upon knowing this guide, we realize that use of these 5 vitamins produces a younger you. But still, knowingly, we also should bear in mind that beauty cannot only be maintained by watching over our diet nor on what we put on topically but also by what we feed our mind. By living with a positive attitude, aging or stress or illness can never lay a finger on us.

Live healthily. Live beautifully. Live positively.

What the heck is Cysteine Hydrochloride?


“Everybody’s going to be dead one day, just give them time.”-Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys

There has been thousands to millions of research regarding mortality of humans. Anti-aging, anti-diabetic, antivirus, anti-cancer, blah-blah-blah. Well, those are a just a few of the human inventions in response to mortality. There’s this thing that caught my attention. It is the amazing discovery of antioxidants. It is like a cure to all illness. One of those is Cysteine which produces the known Glutathione.

Cysteine (abbreviated as Cys or C) is an amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH2SH. It is a semi- essential amino acid, which means that it can be biosynthesized in human. The Thiol side chain in cysteine often participates in enzymatic reactions, serving as a nucleophile. Oops! Talking alien language, sorry. Anyway, to better understand what cysteine hydrochloride is, I’ll speak like a real human here.

Cysteine, as an amino acid, is actually a byproduct of another amino acid called methionine. Consequently, cysteine is then converted to another amino acid called glutathione, which is one of the most powerful antioxidant which protects cells from being damaged. Damage of our body cells may lead to certain illness such as the common scary one--- CA (cancer). But as for some of the infants, they aren’t able to convert methionine to cysteine, which poses problems such as malnutrition and malabsorption. To treat such problems, physicians often administer cysteine hydrochloride.

It is often administered to the patient intravenously (inserted into the vein), especially for infants, to let the body absorb the supplement more effectively. Manufacturers often supply 10mL vials of solution, each containing 0.5 grams of cysteine hydrochloride. The solution is then combined with other amino acid solutions and an appropriate amount of dextrose. The vials should be stored in a controlled temperature of 68 to 77°F (around 20 to 25°C), and should not be frozen. Before administration, the solution should also be inspected if any discoloration and particles are present, as only a clear solution should be used. The supplement should be administered right away after it is diluted; otherwise, it may become insoluble and cannot be absorbed by the body.

Furthermore, side effects are the common questions asked when it comes to drugs. For cysteine hydrochloride, it is often safe and patients rarely suffer from an overdose, if not at all. However, problems occur on the site where the needle is inserted such as, redness and itchiness of the skin, inflammation of the vein, constipation and a blood clot. Other side effects may also occur such as shock, probably a result of blood clot, which can be fatal. Administering the supplement is not advisable for patients who have liver disorder or a metabolic conditions like diabetes as the solution may be toxic for the patient.

Thus the quote above explains this. We all are going to die, harsh reality. But we all are given our time. Thanks to science for giving us a longer time with these discoveries.

Live. Laugh. Love. Be Healthy.
