This blog is inspired by a book entitiled: What I Know Now: Letters to My Younger Self. I don't have a copy of the book yet but the title is very thought provoking. Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your younger self? I have listed 5: You are lucky your Mom and Dad taught you about money early in life. If you really want something, don't accept NO for an answer. Your learn best through experience. You learn best doing things hands-on. Seeing and hearing are your next best way to learn. Then, reading. Second place doesn't win. Don't be afraid to succeed. People around you are actually happy to see that you're doing well. Don't worry about the crab-mentality. Not everyone thinks that way. What's yours?

Yesterday, I was reminising on some childhood memories. I always found my dad's accent to be quite different from my teachers' or my mom's. For example, when my dad made my sister and I memorize the multiplication table, he would make us say... fou one fou fou two eight fou three twelve fou fou sixteen fou five twenty and so on... I found it odd as I can't hear the 'R's. So I can't help but ask, "shouldn't it be fou'r'"? Well, now I know 'fou' and 'four' are the same. I can't hear the 'R's from the Brits!! My dad was taught to pronouce in British English. Oh my oh my... talk about lack of international exposure. Go Harry Potta! PS: My dad's English sounds like Chinese/British-ish. My English sounds like... erm strange, uniquely Steph. Hahaha!

There is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants and a burning desire to achieve it. - Napoleon Hill
