No better mom than you…
May 11, 2008
Happy mother’s day!
For all the mothers, I’d like to contribute this songs to all of you. Jennifer Tham, the author of the song, won the first prize in the Super Mum contest held by AsiaOne.
Here is her letter sharing the brave story about her mom…
My mom is someone that I really admire, I’ve created this song to show how my mum worth far above all the rubies on the Earth.
I still remember when she suffered from cancer a few years back, and yet she was as strong as any healthy mom could be. My mom always girds herself with strength and strengthens her own arms just to support for my education. She still works after her treatments and wouldn’t let me see the tiredness that unfolds. And no matter what happen, her unconditional love never fails to watches over me and guide me through the steps of life.
Dear Mom, for whatever things you do, I know you’ve always been this true … Your love to me, speaks all the words can’t say. For every tear you shed, I know I’m always in your care.
If someone ask me, do I want to have other Mom?
I’ll forever say :
“No I couldn’t ask for a
better Mom than you,
Hanny Soelowidjojo Tjeng”
Love you, Mom
Jennifer Tham
And here is the song. The video is produced by Lydia Isnanto, one of the 12 great friends I mentioned earlier.
I believe our mother is a very special reason why we have our smile. She loves us unconditionally and her love is eternal. Do remember them and appreciate them. For all the mothers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
Cheers,
Robert

Product Review: Personal branding with The Logo Creator
May 10, 2008
Logo and your personal brand
I came across a book titled You, Inc. in the bookstore nearby. I haven’t got a chance to buy and read the book, but the title really gives sort of impression on me. I believe the book is about your personal branding. How you market your success. I shared before that my opinion on selling is much more of relationship rather than money or profit. In life you certainly deal with people, so it’s almost impossible that you don’t need to sell, nor building your personal brand.
On the series of turning limitation into advantages, I shared that limitation is also useful in marketing yourself. But it’s certainly not enough, success requires you to build your strength, and market them. That is the essential of the personal branding. That is about the value you bring to people. Particularly this article will share with you the benefit of logo in your personal branding. It’s not everything but undeniably, it’s useful for your branding, for both your personal and business.
This article is a sponsored review I am writing for The Logo Creator. I picked this review as an opportunity to explore more on logo, personal branding and affiliate marketing opportunity. At the end of the article I will share more about my finding with the applications. Meanwhile, enjoy what I want to share about the benefit of logo, image, or design in your personal branding.

Marketing Review: Subliminal Audio for Self Improvement
May 1, 2008
What do you think of improving yourself using subliminal tapes and CDs?
This post is a sponsored review on subliminal tapes. Denise Adams approached me personally for the review on her website, subliminal tapes.” The site is promoting the products it is selling, the subliminal tapes and CDs. You can also see the demo here. For clarity, I will refer to the site as STSI from this point.
What am I reviewing here?
I am reviewing the STSI website and not the products. I am coming from exactly the same point of view as anyone of you, a potential customer having no information on the product. What I am going to do here is reviewing the business STSI is in and its marketing, particularly through its website.
For those of you who do not understand subliminal message, here is a statement about the subliminal message from the Wikipedia
A subliminal message is a signal or message embedded in another medium, designed to pass below the normal limits of perception. These messages are unrecognizable by the conscious mind, but in certain situations can affect the subconscious or deeper mind and later actions or attitudes.

Winning with People by John C. Maxwell
April 13, 2008
Do you need others to achieve your vision?
If your answer is NO, that means your vision is not big enough. If your answer is YES, that means you will need to have relationships with other people. Not only a common relationship, but a winning relationship. That is about how you can win with people.
I have just finished reading this book. If you are familiar with the previous book reviews I have shared, you will notice that they only have a short paragraph describing the book. From this book onwards, I am planning to give a more proper review of the book I read. Hopefully, it will help you decide whether you need to get the book and really benefit from them. As usual, I’m still providing the browse articles button, specifically to help you get the articles I have written, inspired from the book.
The book Winning with People consists of the five big questions below:
- The Readiness Question
- The Connection Question
- The Trust Question
- The Investment Question
- The Synergy Question
