2008年05月12日四川汶川的大地震牵动了全世界华人的心。只从5月12号晚上一个网友告诉我四川发生7.9级的大地震后，我每天都花很多时间通过电视和网络了解灾情和救灾情况。这次地震和救灾所了解到的许多的事情， 促发了我思考面对难以预料的自然灾害，我们该如何珍爱生命，更主要的是，对没有经历灾难的人们，我们该如何生活，如何与人相处， 如何让世界变得更好一点？

地震发生的第二天，我就跟我老婆商量我们应该捐一点钱。我们应该表示一点对灾区人民的爱心。这样的自然灾害尽管不会经常发生，但也可能发生在我们每一个人的身上。看到灾区人民失去生命，失去亲人，或者生命的就却失去了手脚，再联想自己可能因为感冒发烧就情绪第落，没有经历灾难的我们是否因该活得更加乐观，更加坚强？

面对四川大地震，个人的力量显得多么的渺小。无论你平时是怎样你个呼风唤雨的权威人物，腰缠万贯百万富翁，如果你被水泥钢筋埋在地下的时候，你的权威，你的财富对你还有什么意义？特别是有的人，可能因为个人利益，贪污腐败，偷工减料建造了一些豆腐渣工程，如果你自己或则你的亲人，因为不合格的工程在地震发生时被埋在地下，你赚的那些钱还有什么意义？

思考最多的当然是在救灾过程中发生的许多动人故事。印象特别深刻的我看到CNN报道的一个视频。画面上的那位书记，他的父母、妻子、还有他的两个孩子6个亲人全部遇难，正当他极度悲痛的时候，对讲机里传出来消息需要他，然后他就又跑回去继续工作了。 当自己所有的亲人已经全部遇难，却还要强忍悲痛，组织指挥抢救别人的生命，这样境界真的是我无法想象的。我对这位书记表示深深的敬意！

另外一个故事是北川一幼儿园内救出一个孩子，一名志愿救援人员发现孩子有些面熟，直到孩子喊爸爸后，这位一直忙碌于救人的志愿者才发现那是自己的孩子。尽管这名志愿救援人员3天没有发现自己孩子的踪迹，心理上也许已经做好了自己孩子遇难的准备，但却依然在跟其他人一起玩就其它还是的生命。这样的故事，以及许许多多其它感人的故事，让我觉得，我们人心深处爱的本能，在灾难当头，得到了极为感人的表现。

所以，我在思考，我们这些没有遭受灾难的人们，或者说还没有遭受灾难的人们，平常时应该如何生活，如何与人相处。这次四川地震发上后，我看到了许许多多华人同胞所表现出来的爱心和友情，非常得令人感动。如何让这些在自然灾害中激发出来的爱心和关怀，如果在平常的生活，我们大家都能够以这样心态与人交往，这个世界是否会变得更加美好？ 或者说，在平常的生活中，是什么因素，阻碍了我们人性的爱的本性的表现，而在偏见，歧视，欺诈，冷漠中生活？

思考还在继续，我们应该如何生活？

Scalable marketing process is a concept Mark Joyner talks about again and again, every time he gives us internet marketing lesson. So what is the Scalable marketing process?

Scalable marketing is a system that can replicate and expand without your presence. It can be done without your constant input. Because there is only so much you can get done in a day, which happens to be 24 hours. For example, writing books or teaching someone how to drive is all not scalable process. Because you only have 24 hours in a day, there are limited books you can write and limited people you can teach how to drive a car.

It is critical to build a business with scalable marketing process as time is the most important assest we all have. A good scalable marketing process example will be how Microsoft utilized IBM’s sales force to market MS-DOS. Microsoft got the money, and IBM took care of their clients. This is the best type of deal as now you can go ahead and replicate this process many times over and create huge amounts of revenue and have more room to expand.

My previous offline network support business is a bad example of Scalable marketing system. It took me about 2 years to build that network consulting business. Then I had to stop my marketing campaign, because I was too busy handling customer service myself. Of course, I can employ someone to do the services for me, but network consulting is a very professional services, and it is difficult to train a beginner to do the job properly. So my network consulting business almost had no scalability.

That’s the reason why I sold my network consulting business, and come to KaChing Tank to learn about internet marketing. Now I want to build a scalable marketing system for my online business so I can better use my time and resources, and enjoy the life

What is Security?

According to Wikipedia, “Security is the condition of being protected against danger or loss. In the general sense, security is a concept similar to safety. The nuance between the two is an added emphasis on being protected from dangers that originate from outside”.

Let’s look at an example:

A poor, skinny, unconfident, man has a beautiful girlfriend. One day the girlfriend goes out with a handsome and wealthy, male ‘friend’. How do you think the boyfriend will feel while his girlfriend is with this other man? Insecure, right? What is he likely to do when the girlfriend comes back? Most likely he will be angry and resentful and be angry at the girlfriend. Will this help? No it will only make it worse.

So how should he resolve the issue? He needs to confront his challenge - work out to improve his physique, become financially secure and improve his self-confidence. Only then will he be able to face his insecurities and not worry when he girlfriend spends time with other men.

However financial security does not necessarily come from having money; it is more about having the skills to make money. If I give you $1,000,000 but you don’t have the skills to make money for yourself, how secure do you feel? What if you are broke but I teach you a skill that will make you money anywhere, anytime? How secure would this make you feel? Most people would go for the second option. As the old Chinese proverb says, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”(Lao Tzu).

So security is not about how much money you have, but about your capability to make money.

Why then do most people fail? At some point most people start making excuses –

“It’s too hard”,
“I can’t do this”,
“I’m too busy”,
“Nothing ever goes right for me”,
“I don’t have the resources to do this”,
“I’m not smart enough”.

Sound familiar? Have you ever made excuses for not doing something?

The ultimate skill you can learn in life is the ability to face your challenges. When you hear yourself making excuses just think, “What is it that is stopping me from doing this?” “What can I do to overcome this challenge?”

There are two types of people in life - those who face their challenges and those who run away from them.

What is the difference between these types of people? Well, there could be many reasons – attitude, character, background, etc, but one of the fundamental reasons simple comes down to how much you exercise your brain muscle. Like any muscle, if you don’t exercise, it becomes weaker. Insecurity is therefore directly related to the strength of the muscle you use to confront your challenges.

So how do you make this muscle stronger? Simple, like any muscle you have to exercise it – mental exercise. The more you exercise it the stronger the muscle becomes.

So next time you face a challenge in your life, don’t run away from it, don’t look for an excuse. Simple ask yourself, “What do I need to do to solve this challenge”?
