Enough said, the list to join SHICHIDA CLASS is growing to the extent that people have to be put on waiting list. Why is this SHICHIDA METHOD PROGRAMME has been very popular in ASIA, particularly in Japan, Singapore and Malaysia? It is because of the effectiveness in training children to have great photographic memory and calculate maths at lightning speed. Ages between 0-6 years is the greatest period to train up kids for this sort of ability as their right brain is still at its development stage and can absorb anything and everything like sponge. I just show you the video below so that you can see exactly what I mean.

In Malaysia, the SHICHIDA METHOD franchise is at WISMA LIM FOO YOONG, Jalan Raja Chulan (opporsite Hotel Istana) and Bandar Utama’s Centre Point, Kuala Lumpur.

Here is a collection of videos on Glenn Doman’s methods. Some of you may have some questions on this method and may wonder how it really works. I guess it’s best if list out the videos here so you can have some basic understanding on the method and early childhood education. Good thing that Glenn Doman has opened its office in Malaysia. It’s located at Heritage Villa just opposite The Mines Shopping Centre.

As I was making my unusual walkabout in Great Eastern Mall, Jalan Ampang, I was quite pleasantly surprised at the state of the mall now. With its latest addition in the form of TOYS ‘R US, the centre is fast becoming the hub of all things related to kids. The mall now has TUMBLE TOTS, COMPUTER TOTS, ARTS PLAY CLUB, KIZSPORTS AND GYM, TOYCITY, CHILDREN GIFTSHOP. My 9-month old baby was so excited when he was there. Now we can afford not to go to Pavillion, KLCC or Mid Valley.

I have been looking around for the best early childhood education for my 9 months son. With the wealth of information available online as well as privileged wisdom from my closest friends, I guess I must say that I am spoilt for choice. Amongst the names that frequently crop up are SHICHIDA METHOD, GLENN DOMAN, TWEEDLEWINK and TUMBLE TOTS. Being kiasu as I always have been, I decided to embark on a journey of detailed study/research and visits to all of these centres. Although the study is yet to be concluded, I have a good general idea of what these programmes are all about. Good thing that all of the programmes are available in MALAYSIA. After reading books written by Glenn/Janet Doman and Pamela Sue Hickein, talking to the programme promoters, there is only one conclusion to be made.Early childhood education is important and it begins even when your baby is in the mother’s womb. Since childbirth to 3 years old, the focus is on developing the baby’s right brain. After that it’s about right and left brains and the bridge between the two brains. The most optimum time to teach babies/toddlers is from birth till 6. What we are doing is stimulating the brain pathways. There are various ways for you to stimulate the baby’s brain cells/synapses, the easiest way is through talking lovingly with the baby. Others involve activities that will stimulate the babies six senses i.e. sight, sound, hear, touch, taste, resonance (sixth sense). I will write more on each of the above programme methods in my next post as the focus of this post is on the importance of early childhood right brain education. But flashcards, listening to music, perfect pitch, photographic memory, memory linking, mandala, ESP, Power of Suggestion, Movement, Eyetracking are some of the methods suggested that can improve the brain cells connectivity. So now is my plan. Already registered him for his TWEEDLEWINK CLASS at NEO DAMANSARA, DAMANSARA PERDANA (once a week) and starting my own GLENN DOMAN flashcards (reading and maths) at home during the weekdays. I also let him listen to classical music from time to time (Mozart, Bach, Pachbel, Beethoven) on my iphone. I hope this is enough till he’s 1 1/2 years old (18 months), where I am hoping to register him for some daily pre-school, the likes of INSIGHT KIDS or SMART READER. Oh yes, I am putting him through YOUR BABY CAN READ (YBCR) process by Dr. Bob Titzer too.. Before I forget, here is a chance for you to grab wonderful early education products based on Shichida and Tweedlewink methods at superbly low prices. Just so happens I got to know the person himself and he is willing to give my blog readers a discount. Just click on the banner and use the DISCOUNT CODE. Happy learning!!!

I recently received an email from Adam Khoo, Singapore’s most prominent motivator and self-enrichment guru. He had outlined FOUR REASONS why people have failed to achieve their New Year’s resolution. Yes indeed, these reasons are the same reasons that have been bugging me for years. If anyone fails in their New Year’s resolutions, it must be because of these FOUR FUNDAMENTAL REASONS. Let’s discuss and dissect each one of them in details.

Reason #1: Vague, Unspecific Goals

Solution: Get Clear on What You Want
The goals people set are often vague and non-specific. They set goals like ‘ to lose weight‘ or ‘to make more money’. When you are vague, you will never get what you want. It is often said that CLARITY IS POWER. You need to set specific, measurable outcomes so your mind knows exactly what to do and what needs to be done to get it.

For example, set goals like ‘to lose 10kg in 90 days and to weigh exactly 48 kg’. When you are specific, you can then develop a plan on how many calories to consume a meal and how many hours you need
to work out on a treadmill to burn ‘X’ calories per day.

When you set a clear goal like ‘to increase my income from $4,000 month to $$10,000 a month in 5 months. You are clear that you have to build an extra income stream (s) of $6,000. You can
possibly develop a plan to earn an extra $2,000 from Internet marketing/ads from blogs, another $2,000 from trading FOREX and another $2,000 from doing part-time commissioned sales/tuition.

Comments: This is like designing a KPI for yourself in certain key result area (KRA), now I am sounding like a McKinsey consultant . Whatever the goal you have, it must be SMART i.e. SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACTIONABLE/ACHIEVABLE, RELEVANT AND CAN BE PUT IN A TIMELINE. This helps to add clarity to your goals.

Reason #2: Lack of Consistent Focus

Solution: Focus on What You Want Daily
The second reason many people don’t get what they want is because they write a goal down, put it aside and forget about it until a year later. In the meantime, they get distracted and caught up with
the daily struggles and demands of life.What has really helped me is that I write my goals down on large
pieces of Poster sized paper and stick it near my workstation, in my bedroom and in my office. I even design my goals onto my computer desktop wallpaper. This way, the goals are constantly IN
MY FACE and ON MY MIND 18 hours a day. This makes me constantly remind myself to move towards my goals and to act in a way which I want.

Comments: This is so true. By doing it this way, you pile a lot of pressure on yourself to keep focus on the goal and avoid your daily demand routine traps. To achieve something out of the ordinary, you should break from routine and elevate yourself. You will feel pressured and unsatisfied if you don’t do anything that day that will help you move towards your goal. You will feel pressured to create a proper plan in achieving it.

Reason #3: Interest But Not a Commitment

Solution: Make a Public Commitment
Let’s face it. Many of us think of goals we would LIKE to achieve. We think it will be NICE to have. However, often times, it is not a strong COMMITMENT to MUST do it. As human beings, we are also great at breaking promises to ourselves and we start to justify. “I know I said I would lose weight but it’s just too difficult so never mind, Nobody will know anyway’ is the common thought.

If you want to make things happen in your life, you have to make goals a COMMITMENT by putting yourself on the line. Make it very hard for you to turn back. What I often do is when I set a goal
(e.g. recently I set a goal of writing a book ‘Secrets of Successful Teens’, I make a PUBLIC COMMITMENT by announcing it to my friends, family, facebook, BLOG and pretty much everyone I meet.

When you keep talking and announcing what you must do and change, your brain will give you no choice but to do it. This is a tough thing to do, but IT WORKS. So, my challenge to you is to announce your goals on my blog (under comments) so you are committed to make it happen.

Comment: Make it happen!
Reason #4: Lack of Personal Power

Solution: Take Charge of Your Mind and Take Action
The last thing that stops people from success is that they do not take action. They don’t use their  personal power to get the results they want. What stops them from taking action are things like FEAR,
PROCRASTINATION, SELF-DOUBT, LAZINESS etc…

You have to understand that you are in control of your own thoughts and emotions, Using techniques like NLP, you can learn how to control your mind and direct your focus to motivate yourself and
break through negative habits and behavioral patterns. You have to learn NLP to develop focus and drive yourself to take massive action to get the results you want.

Comment: I hope the posters that I have made will have great impact on me putting things in action quickly. I have several projects ready to fulfil my dream income but will need to program my mind everyday to focus on it to the extent of waking up at 12 or 1 am to do the required work that will help me towards achieving this goal..Hey I woke up at 12 am just now just for this :)..

This is a good advice through a video by Zig Ziglar. Success does not come easy. It requires a break from the routine, it requires a change in your attitude. The first step to change is to recognise your weaknesses and take steps to improve them. Tactics and strategies need to be changed if they are not working for you. Although you may feel uncomfortable at first with the changes but results will come soon to keep you going and excited throughout the way. Check out the video to get inspired.

We all live with a purpose. Without any sense of it, our lives will be like a ship floating in the ocean without any particular direction. Once you are set on the purpose of life, everything will be easy. There is no confusion over which job you should take up, which career, which major etc. Geniuses of past have recognised the importance of having a purpose in life. Leonardo da Vinci once said “Make your work in keeping with your purpose” So let’s start jotting down the mission of your life on a piece of paper now. Start writing 20 things that you really want in your life and decide what actions do you need to undertake to make them happen. Amongst these actiona, which ones that will really make you  really happy?

A lot has been said about this. Some say by asking the right questions, the answer will become very clear to you, as you are becoming more aware of what the issue really is. One example is the FIVE-WHY’s method. In this method, you keep on asking yourself on the real issue five times and usually when you get to do this five times, you will usually get to the bottom of the problem. This is one of the many problem-solving methods used by management consulting firm, MCKINSEY & CO.

Sometimes asking the right question is not meant to find the rootcause of a problem but rather to make you focused to get the right results and the right action. Just take a look at the following examples:

Upon waking up early

Weak:  Can I fall back asleep again?  Should I go back to bed?

Strong:  What would be the best way to start my day?  How can I energize myself?  Where can I find something inspirational or motivational to read right now?

When contemplating exercise (and feeling unmotivated)

Weak:  Is it too hot/cold to exercise?  Can I skip it for today?  What difference will it make if I just skip a day?  Don’t I deserve a day off?

Strong:  Won’t it feel great hitting the showers afterwards?  What should I listen to while I workout?  Won’t it be wonderful to achieve my fitness goals?  How can I make this session more fun?

When considering a dietary improvement

Weak:  What foods am I going to have to give up?  How am I going to deal with the deprivation?  Am I going to have to eat like this forever?

Strong:  What foods that I like will I get to eat more of?  What new foods can I experiment with?  Won’t it be great when I reach my goal weight?  Won’t it be wonderful to finally master this area of my life once and for all?  Once I succeed at this, who else can I help?

Strong questions are empowering and can provide greatest mileage in your life.
