Adam Khoo - Equation of Life

As many of us are feeling the repercussions of one of the worst
recessions in recent history, I would like to share with you my
philosophy on the EQUATION OF LIFE. If you studied Math, Chemistry,
Economics, Accounts or any one of these mathematical topics before,
you would understand that equations have to balance.

For every good, there must be a bad. For every positive, there must
first be a negative. For light to exist, there must first be
darkness. For every market boom, there must first be a crash. For
you to experience happiness, you must first experience sadness. For
you to experience pride and inspiration, you must first have
experienced disappointment and adversity. The greater the initial
failure and disappointment, the sweeter will be the pride of success.

I remember watching the show 'The Pursuit of Happyness' where it
was based on the true story of Chris Gardner who went through a
very difficult period of his life. His wife left him, he was broke,
evicted from his home, slept in public toilets and in homeless
shelter, jailed for unpaid parking tickets and went through a
series of unfortunate incidents.

However, he persevered where ordinary men would have given up.
Finally, when he got selected to become a stockbroker in one of the
most prestigious companies on Wall Street after competing against
20 other candidates, he broke down and shed tears of intense pride
and happiness.

The fighting spirit that the tough situations built within him was
what gave him the drive to build a multi-million dollar stock
broking firm himself. If he did not first go through those
heartbreaking setbacks, he would not have become a millionaire.

For there to be God, there must be the devil (I know some religious
people will want to kill me for saying this). Think about it, if
not for pain, suffering and evil, will people turn to God for
salvation? It is during hard times like these that people pray and
go to places of worship more.

If you watched the matrix, the 'architect' mentions that the
equation has to balance for the matrix to exist. In order for Neo
(the Hero) to exist, there must be his opposite (i.e. Agent Smith
who was the super bad guy).

This applies to every aspect of life. If George Bush did not screw
up the US economy and damage the US's reputation so badly, Barack
Obama would not have become the first African American President
today. If Al Gore would have won, he would probably have done an ok
job and the US would have voted in another white guy.

At the same time, if Al Gore had become the US President 8 years
ago, he would not have made such a positive impact on global
warming issues, won an academy award for his documentary and won
the Nobel Peace Prize. Again, 'failure' led to the the birth of
success.

If I did not get kicked out of Primary school (Primary 3) and get
rejected from 6 secondary schools after my PSLE exams, I would
never have been sent by my parents to learn about NLP. If I did not
learn about NLP at the age of 13, I would not have been able to
inspire thousands of students through my first book 'I Am Gifted,
So Are You!' and achieve all the success that I have today. I would
just have been another average Singaporean stuck in an average job.

So, how does this apply to your life? Well, instead of fearing and
feeling lousy because of the bad stuff that happens in your life,
get optimistic and know that there lies a great opportunity that
always goes along with it.

To your success,
Adam
