My first step: the baby grows up

"Money & Happiness (insert briefcase clip-art here) A guide to living the good life," reads the title of the book by Laura Rowley. Chapter 2 talks about values, namely "Identifying your values: Family, Community, Personality". Don't get me wrong - I have not finished reading the book yet. But this book is so powerful that one chapter is enough to get me thinking. A lot.

I have just started another chapter of my life and if I were to have an auto-biography, this chapter would no doubt be titled "Realising the importance of wealth and affluence and having my brain cracked when planning my life away and as each night-time comes, I only hope I can sleep well and not get disturbed by my overwhelming motivation to not fail again in life." Funny? No? Trying too hard?

Fine.

Anyway, I see the need to break out from my happy-go-lucky self to embrace a new focused, ambitious and persevering persona. I have an ultimate goal now, in fact, make that two. Although I'm still not quite sure how I can reach my goals, I will nonetheless learn - and this is why I picked up "Money & Happiness" and a few other books about money and finance.

In my next few posts, I will write more and all about my goals and as it goes along, I will also post what I've learnt and what has inspired me to succeed. You will slowly understand my burning desire to win in life and I only hope to rally everyone out there to join me in this path of personal growth. Let's make this a sharing point. Listen to what I've got to say and share with me your forms of inspiration and success stories. Feel free to comment and to "follow". Anything. Just be here.

We will even appreciate you reading just the first word.

What say you, my pretty sister?
