The Business of Life

  And so, on this Sunday afternoon, I have been thinking long and hard to make a choice I am confronted with in a sudden, out of doubt of my own choice in life and of my future. I have reached the verdict and I have decided to present the ideas and arguments in my head in the form of words, hopefully to convince myself and further reinforce the choice that I am making now. 
  The choice of taking a degree in finance is a choice I made quite some time ago and I was sure I made the right choice and I will not regret it, but now after getting involved in OSKIC, a doubt arises which caused me to question myself and my choice. Is it still the right way to go? And I realised, facing difficulties now is not because of the choice i made, i'm still only 18 and in Foundation year. How can i expect to understand and know how to deal with all the investment and trading issues i am facing? If i know everything at this age, everyone in the world can be rich.
   Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad says in his book, "The rich don't work for money, they let money work for them." This statement is one of the factors I began to doubt my initial choice. The prospect of earning big bucks and to start early, I admit, is very tempting.. But to solve a problem, we cannot think at the level at which the problem is created, and so i took time, discarded the emotions and temptations and use only the rational thinking tool.  Yes it is true, the rich let money work for them. But wait, we are not born rich and we don't start our career or our working life as the rich. Now there is a problem, what do the rich do before they are rich? The answer is again, they worked for money as well, the only difference is they got rich by doing that, and then changed their way. How can we make money work for us if we have not acquired enough money in the first place? And so we come to the question of, which is the better degree for us to easily land a secure job at the start of our career?
  Frankly speaking, there is no perfect start as everyone of us have to go through a spice of life in order for us to gather all the necessary experience. Struggling in my final thought, i had make up my mind to have a better determination for my choice of studying the degree in finance. Finance is always needed in a company and financial analyst will be the last man standing if anyone will to be fired. I had convinced myself to give myself a year or two after finishing my tertiary education to prove that my decision is right.There is no standard formula for money making.After all, one does not necessary follow his path, it is just on  how we apply our financial education in our daily life.
  

A brief introduction of myself

  Penning down here today represents the other chapters of my life. No longer in secondary school, i had finally come to the place where the final education that i have to gone through before facing the community. Well, my name is Wai Hong and this is what people use to call me. To make it short and simple, i come from Ipoh, Perak. My hometown is indeed a place where you can find sumptious food all over the city and also well known for producing handsome guys and pretty girls. Probably, I am categorized under those handsome guys too.. Haha.. I am officially 18 this year and my birthday is the day where singaporeans celebrate their national day. No doubt, i will be quite famous if i were to born in singapore.

  Progressing towards my living lifestyle, i use to be a state athelete of water polo. Water polo is indeed a game which requires good stanminar, strength, strategies and teamwork in order to win a match. When i was studying in high school, i eventually put in a lot of effort in this sport with the hope of stepping into the international arenas by representing the country. Why I would choose water polo as there are so many sports?? Many used to ask me this questions. Frankly speaking, the only reasons i choose this sport is because I love the challenges in the sport and what I had learn in this sport will be a very important lessons in my life. "Nothing venture nothing gain", this is what i used to listen from my coach. Through this sports, i understand that nothing comes easy in this world and winners will always do things differently.

  If i were to explain my goals of my life , i will say that my ultimate goal is to own an outstanding investment company. I hope that my company will have the same recogisation as Soros Fund Management that is owned by the man who broke the bank of England, George Soros. George Soros is a legend that had gain a very big influence in the world trading market. The only man who survives in the Black Wednesday, he had became my idol and a role model for me to follow. A man who can compete with all the Asia countries in the Asia economic crisis, I am totally impressed with his capabilities. Clearly, my goal in life is influenced by this man and i believe, one day my name, TAN WAI HONG will be mentioned as a legend in the world trading market.
