UJI NUAN EMPU?

Iban - Let it be you!

I think Ibans have to start from “Let It Be You” or “Lapa Enda Nuan?” or “Uji Berengkah Ari Diri Nuan Empu”
  • To help yourself and/or your family members, someone has to initiate it. Who?
  • To mobilize a community, someone has to lead it. Who?
  • To develop a community, require collective effort. Who?
  • To feed your stomach and/or your family, someone has to find the food. Who?
Other things:
  • If all individuals and/or community(s) can work together, we can prosper together. Who?
  • If Ibans keep on penalizing and/or criticizing or blaming or point-finger to one another, we are going nowhere. Who?
  • If Ibans fail to propel and prosper, we will remain stagnant and backward. Who?
  • If Ibans have got no budget and/or allocation, we all have to seek, find and create initiative, possibility and find the opportunity. Who?
  • If Ibans fail to plan and ask for their own budget or projects allocation, we should not blame anyone because we can't expect others to look at our backside. Who?
Recalling; each and every day, there are people all around the country and the world who are living their dreams. Millionaires are made every day. Better start living your dreams rather than leaving it to fate away.

Families are experiencing tremendous relationships. People are becoming more (multiply), healthier, progressive and competitive. Life-long education/learners are growing intellectually and improving their chances for success.

The fact is that living the life of your dreams is possible. People prove that every day. Someone somewhere is going to get rich, get healthy and improve their life.

My recommendation is this: Let it be you!

Have you ever wanted to make money or for your betterment? Have you ever looked at someone who has an opportunity (business, investment, finance, technology or project) or money and wished that it could be you?

People think about getting wealthy or richer or uplift their living all of the time, when only a small percentage actually does. But any of the masses could.

So why not let it be You?
  • Someone is going to start a business or consultancy services or real estates services or financial/tax/legal advisory or private tuition enterprise or others to generate income and/or alternative revenue or surplus.
  • Someone is going to make a great investment (merger & acquisition, REITs, property and land, ASB, ASN, AHB, etc).
  • Someone is going to begin the journey to great wealth.
  • Someone is going to decide to improve their relationships and well being.
  • Someone is going to enjoy love with their family.
  • Someone is going to schedule some meaningful time with their friends.
  • Someone is going to go back to school/college/Unis to improve their life.
  • Someone is going to become a life-long education learner.
  • Someone is going to set a goal to read a book or listen/watch motivational CDs each week for the next year.
  • Someone is going to look in the mirror and see that they need to lose a little weight or reduce/stop smoking habit or stop consume alcohol and they will make the decision to become healthy.
  • Someone will develop their first NCR land into "Rubber Estate Cooperative Scheme".
  • Someone will join an association to volunteer themselves and help their own community and members of the association.
I think that by now you get the point: Everyday people are self-improving and/or self-betterment or self-determine their lives.

Whether you do or not doesn´t matter to those who do. They are going to do it, regardless. It is simply a matter of a decision being made. So let that person be you!

You may be asking, "Ok Unggal, but how?' Well, let´s cover the very simple actions.

1. Your personal commitment

The most important is to make a commitment to work on yourself only then you can help others. Are you going to improve or stay the same? Or poorer-poor and/or remain backward?

No matter what you have achieved, you are at a certain point right now. What you have achieved in the past is fine, but it doesn't make a difference for the future.

The decision about what you will become is made each day, every day, every week, every month and every year. Each day someone is making the decision to better him/herself. Let that person be you!

2. Make a plan

Once you have decided to become better you will have to have a plan. It doesn't have to be a long, intricate plan. It can be simple. Save a ringgit a day and you will save 7 ringgits a week.

If you want to do business (small or big), start saving your money for your start-up capital and have a proper business plan.

Walk a mile a day. Read an article a day. That is a simple plan with achievable goals. Someone is going to develop a plan that will take them into the future of their dreams. Let it be you!

3. Begin to act

All of the great ideas, without action, become stale and useless. The key to turning dreams into reality is Action! People who have great ideas are a dime a dozen.

People who act on their dreams, thoughts and ideas are the select few, but they are the ones who gain the wealth, wealth and wisdom that is available. Someone will act today. Let it be you!

Conclusion

My encouragement to fellow Ibans is to stop looking at others who live the good life, wishing that you were as well, and instead begin to commit to your improvement, develop a plan and act on it. Someone is going to. Let it be you!

To Your Success fellows!

Have a pleasant Sabbath Day.
