Love it! Blog it! Repeat it!

Is this what we call ‘law of attraction‘ (Raymond, or anyone perhaps can confirm this)

In Topo recent post, it sounds very true. To his blog frequent readers, you must have noticed how passionate he is with Upin & Ipin.  He had voluntarily written couple of posts about it, and at the end of the day, the award is quite rewarding.

He got the very rare chance to watch the Geng The Movie movie press review,the first hugely successful Upin & Ipin animate appearance on cinema.

Impress!! Yeah.. definitely.. I don’t think he even thought about this at the first place when he start blogging about it before. Right Topo??

So how to apply this on you life? For me do whatever you love to do sincerely. And let the energy and environment considers what’s works best for you.

My rule of thumb.

1. Do what you love.

2. Don’t ever think of the reward.

3. Repeat step 1, but with slightly different method.
