Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

Malaysian Airlines Flight 370Well, this will be more of a common blog post from a blogger than an inspirational post from Inspiration for Success. As because I am interested more than average in airplanes and the aircraft industry I am following the news, or actually the non-news about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 quite closely, although I guess many people do as it has been the top story on CNN and I guess in many other news channels and programs.

But next to just being interested in flying and the aircraft industry I am writing because still some things that I see on the news right now just don’t add up. As yes, I can imagine an airplane not being found straight away, especially when lost over sea and after probably having changed course. And yes, I know many places, especially over sea, are not covered by radar or something. and yes, I know planes are not communicating continuously with the outside world.

But no, I can’t imagine a plane just flying somewhere towards land or over land without being detected, either by military or civil radar or whatever equipment there is to check planes or other flying objects crossing some kind of border, especially if their transponder is turned off. So somehow the images I see in the news don’t make sense, as they cover large land areas. And also the flight path towards the Indian Ocean goes over land, presumably Thailand and I can’t imagine no one saw some unidentified object, probably a plane, crossing borders.

And no, I don’t blame the Malaysian government for anything. I disagree strongly with all the criticism they get about how they handle the situation. As in the first place as far as I know they never or hardly ever dealt with something like a plane crash or plane incident, so of course they don’t have anything in place to deal with something like that. And secondly this is the weirdest airplane incident that ever happened as as far as I know there is no case of any plane just disappearing without leaving any (clear) message or trace like debris. So how would anybody know how to handle a case like this? You just wouldn’t expect a plane just go missing without leaving any trace. So you would just start a search where it was last seen and normally just find debris or something. But apparently that didn’t happen.

And yes, if there would be anyone or anything to blame it would be the news channels. As they keep on emphasizing there is no information and that the government or Malaysia Airlines should provide that. But presumably there is no information and I presume Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian government are trying to organize the search and are trying to get the right experts to process all the information that could give answers to what happened. And I can imagine that takes time, especially in this very weird situation where you would need satellite images and radar information from all kinds of places to try to figure out the flight path the plane followed. And I guess Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian government also want to know what happened, just like everybody else.

And why focus on angry family members? Why would people be angry with Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian government? Yes, of course I can imagine they are frustrated as it is very hard not to know where your loved ones are or what happened to them. But I doubt they would be angry with Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian government. Yes, maybe from frustration or because information comes out slowly. But I guess everybody can understand that Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian government and people involved in the investigation have to be very careful what information to release, although maybe, just maybe, releasing some more might help people calm down a bit. As all this speculation that is going on my do more damage than solve things.

But yes, it’s news and especially in situations like this, where there is no real information, you still have to make a story, an exciting story. And yes, I am watching it. And yes, I would also like to know more about the facts, about those radar images and this ping and the satellite images that may hold information. And why the plane was never detect while presumably flying over land, into the airspace of e.g. Malaysia itself or Thailand.

So yes, there is something very, very strange in everything I hear and see in the news. But is it the news or is it reality? And I just see the CNN site has more in-depth information than what I see on TV: http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/14/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-plane/.

And I just see the statement of Saturday, March 15, 05:45 PM MYT +0800 on the page MH Flight Incident of Malaysia Airlines, which confirmes several things.

Time will tell.

Ah, and one thing comes in my mind about the CEO of Malaysia Airlines, Mr..Ahmad Jauhari Yahya. He confirmed to me that people in that type of position apply the Principles of Success as he seemed very determined to find the plane, no matter what.

Crime pays

The last few days I had quite some mood swings. I had quite some high a few days ago playing music like I used to do and going back to the time when I was a student. But today and yesterday were kind of lows.And while writing this post I am very much in doubt whether to write the things that are in my mind or not, as indeed, I am starting to believe that thoughts, words, especially when spoken, are very powerful.

But somewhere in my mind is also that I promised to myself and to you that I would achieve my success fully in the open, that I wouldn’t hold back, also the downs. And there is one thing I still don’t talk or write about as that’s too private, even though I think it’s my biggest turn off, so yes, I’m still keeping something to myself. But it’s just too private and as of the moment sharing it I think would do too much damage, so I won’t or at least I”ll wait until I feel it’s the right time.

I started this post with crime pays where I’m starting to realize that the real saying is crime doesn’t pay, but I’m starting to doubt which one is true, especially feeling myself at the deepest of the deep related to finance, financial success. As it seems there is something like balance, something like what others do to you, you are probably doing to others sooner or later. And until now I held back very much and I try not to do the bad stuff that I feel others did to me, but it’s getting harder and harder. And the reason is that some of the things that happened to me especially the last few years, especially business wise, just feel wrong. I feel that people did me wrong and that, no matter the mistakes I made myself that lead to where I stand right now, it’s too much, that I have sunk too low. It just feels wrong, it just feels unfair, too unfair.

You see, I’m kind of good person. Too good actually, accepting too much from everybody, too honest and things like that. However, I have one big flaw: my biggest flaw, mistake is that i gave in, still give in, too much to my partner. And that’s my part in the story, that’s my mistake. So that’s wrong, no matter my reasons, my excuses. And in a lighter form I also have that to other people, trying to please too much,  As yes, I just want people to like me. Which they probably and obviously don’t, but that’s another story.

Anyhow, going back to the crime stuff, me being a ‘good’ person or at least considering myself a good person, I have the feeling that too many people have taken advantage of me and are taking advantage of me. And I don’t want to pay back or something in a similar way, but this causes an enormous unbalance. As e.g. financially for quite some time I have not been able to pay some things I feel like I owe people. And that’s a big thing to me. So I’m doing to other people what people have been doing to me: not paying dues. Except for me it’s mainly that I can’t, that I can’t find ways to earn or receive or get money to pay my dues. And somehow it must go back to economy, the time we’re living in right now. As I have the feeling many more people are in a similar situation and that indeed, in general money is still not flowing as it could, as it should.

But again, this creates an enormous inner conflict with me as most of the ‘self help’ stuff I’ve been reading states that you have things in your own hand. That thoughts and attitude and working hard and planning and all that kind of stuff is fully under my, your control. And in a way I indeed do believe that. But somehow something doesn’t add up. As I’m still a human being with his flaws and weaknesses and stuff. And things like economy and state of mind of the world or state of the Universe, even if you consider everything as one or something, still seem to count.

So this feeling of imbalance creates an enormous inner conflict that cries, shouts to be solved. As somehow I have the feeling there is not enough coming to me, not enough coming back. Because I try to give, but somehow it’s not enough or not in the right way. And I try to be good and not paying back bad behaviour or bad things in ways I consider bad. And I try to be happy and grateful as it’s written and stated everywhere. But inside of me something shouts wrong or not enough or ???.

So yes, having the feeling of having nothing left, which I know is subjective as I can still eat and still live in this big house, is continuously asking for attention and kind of eating me and often paralyzing me.

And I still don’t know what to do.

Anyone recognizes this? Or want to give any kind of comment? That would be greatly appreciated and maybe we find a solution, better solutions together. As I’m quite sure I’m not alone.

Mac

MacWell, not sure what to write about right now and even a bit unsure whether I would write a post anyhow as in today’s team meeting it became clear that it is time that the site gets a better structure and better content (pages) and not just ‘posts’ as I write them, basically even with the thought of ‘just writing content’.

So maybe just indeed write something about dogs as a friend of mine and i were talking about earlier today. And it was weird to find out I didn’t know how much of a dog lover she is, even though how I saw the last few days how much she likes Iwa, our little mini pincher. So we started talking about dogs and of course I asked her if she knows the Dog Whisperer, which of course she does. And then I found out she has a dog herself, Mac, of which you find a photo on this page. A very sweet dog it seems to me, and as i heard also very spoilt, but I can imagine that looking at the photo.

So we talked about dogs and it was funny to see how Iwa sat on her lap, liking it, like getting the attention and also not liking it.

And then somehow we started talking about business, which people often say I should mix with private. But to me that’s very hard as I just like the things I do business wise, something like ‘anything internet’, from building websites to Internet Marketing and Search Engine Optimization, where in my opinion people often mix especially the last two, but also overestimate the design of the first.

But that’s not really what I wanted to talk about, business. But somehow I also do, as in my experience business also affects your private life. If business is good, you can do more fun things in your private life, at least I think most people would agree that you have more options if business is good, if you’re earning money. And if business is bad, you may have less money or no money at all, so have less choices in what to do or where to go.

So is this a business post or a private life post? Well, I guess more of a business quote. And actually that’s also why I often end up talking about business. As I just need more exposure for my business, for what I’m good at, for what I have to offer. And as my private life is suffering a lot from not having enough business.

So yes, this is a business post, a sales and marketing post..

So how to inspire

I am still a bit in doubt how to continue with my posts. Main reason to continue writing my quite negative posts is that I believe in the end those pages will attract people in a similar situation like me, so the people searching for success, wanting or needing to be inspired for success.

Of course I hope that when people find those posts I have already moved on and live a much better life or hopefully the life I really want, think I deserve and need. For now that is not the case and maybe that is also good because if will make me write more about my current situation, my ‘down period’, so people, you, will know that it is really possible to go from here, from where i am now, to the life I really want and need.

So maybe just tell you guys what I actually feel at the moment, what is actually happening. Maybe just tell you that last year, the beginning of the second half, my partner left me, my business went even further down  the drain and I literally felt I had nothing left anymore, nothing even left to live for. What made it even worse was that ten years before I was in exactly the same situation: my partner left, somehow in a similar way, I had lost my job and couldn’t find another and I not enough money to sustain my lifestyle, so couldn’t afford my house anymore.

So I was devastated and didn’t know what to do anymore and even considered suicide as I had nothing left and found I had not friends even, and no support network. And this time not even any serious financial backup, at least no money I could touch which I did have ten years ago. And no government support also as I live in The Philippines.

Somehow during that period someone gave me the book Think and Grow Rich, together with two other books and somehow that book impressed me. Not because of the ‘rich’ as my partner leaving me was a million times worse than having all the money in the world to me as to me love and relationship are the main things in life, not money or anything else.

So I started from the book and wrote my ‘main desire document’ and started from there. And found that many weird things started to happen, including me now believing that indeed ‘anything is possible’, literally anything. However, it has been a weird journey from then to now and the worst was that things started to become worse, much worse the end of last year until the beginning of this year. It is only recently that I am starting to believe that something positive is coming up, even though I am still very much emotionally distressed.

Anyhow, enough for now about this story I guess, although there is another related post in my mind for a few days now. A post about why I am where i am now and indeed, I think I recently started to realize how it all works.

For now my little inspiration for people in a similar situation like me for more than half a year now is to not give up, even if things are even getting worse. I’m not there yet, but somehow something positive is happening, so that’s what I want to share to inspire you: don”t give up.
