This is very important in today’s day and age …do spend two minutes on this Power of Money: By Adam Kho -Singapore's youngest millionaire at 26 yrs (Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires)

I refuse to buy a first class ticket or to buy a $300 shirt because I think that it is a complete waste of money. However, I happily pay $1,300 to send my 2-year old daughter to Julia Gabriel Speech and Drama without thinking twice.

Many people have been brainwashed to think that millionaires have to wear Gucci, Hugo Boss, Rolex, and sit on first class in air travel. This is why so many people never become rich because the moment that earn more money, they think that it is only natural that they spend more, putting them back to square one.

Some of you may already know that I travel around the region pretty frequently, having to visit and conduct seminars at my offices in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Suzhou (China). I am in the airport almost every other week so I get to bump into many people who have attended my seminars or have read my books.

Recently, someone came up to me on a plane to KL and looked rather shocked. He asked, 'How come a millionaire like you is traveling economy?' My reply was, 'That's why I am a millionaire.' He still looked pretty confused.

This again confirms that greatest lie ever told about wealth (which I wrote about in my latest book 'Secrets of Self- Made Millionaires').

The truth is that most self-made millionaires are frugal and only spend on what is necessary and of value. That is why they are able to accumulate and multiply their wealth so much faster.

Over the last 7 years, I have saved about 80% of my income while today I save only about 60% (because I have my wife, mother in law, 2 maids,2 kids, etc. to support). Still, it is way above most people who save 10% of their income (if they are lucky).

When I joined the YEO (Young Entrepreneur's Orgn)a few years back (YEO) is an exclusive club open to those who are under 40 and make over $1m a year in their own business) I discovered that those who were self-made thought like me. Many of them with net worth well over $5m, travelled economy class and some even drove Toyota's and Nissans, not Audis, Mercs, BMWs.

I noticed that it was only those who never had to work hard to build their own wealth (there were also a few ministers' and tycoons' sons in the club) who spent like there was no tomorrow. Somehow, when you did not have to build everything from scratch, you do not really value money. This is precisely the reason why a family's wealth (no matter how much) rarely lasts past the third generation.

Thank God my rich dad foresaw this terrible possibility and refused to give me a cent to start my business.

Then some people ask me, 'What is the point in making so much money if you don't enjoy it?' The thing is that I don't really find happiness in buying branded clothes, jewellery or sitting first class. Even if buying something makes me happy it is only for a while, it does not last.

Material happiness never lasts, it just give you a quick fix. After a while you feel lousy again and have to buy the next thing which you think will make you happy. I always think that if you need material things to make you happy, then you live a pretty sad and unfulfilled life.

Instead, what makes me happy is when I see my children laughing and playing and learning so fast. What makes me happy is when I see my companies and trainers reaching more and more people every year in so many more countries. What makes me really happy is when I read all the emails about how my books and seminars have touched and inspired someone's life

What makes me really happy is reading all your wonderful posts about how this blog is inspiring you. This happiness makes me feel really good for a long time, much more than what a Rolex would do for me.

I think the point I want to put across is that happiness must come from doing your life's work (be it teaching, building homes, designing, trading, winning tournaments etc.) and the money that comes is only a by-product.

If you hate what you are doing and rely on the money you earn to make you happy by buying stuff, then I think that you are living a life of meaninglessness.

Application submitted to Drupal.org community for CVS Access This is the draft Readme File of our Module...Motivation included in summary

The mail2cms uses Mail on Gears(MoG) drupal module that allows access online and offline Webmail access to IMAP mailservers

MAIL2CMS is a very humble attempt to create a next generation web mail client based on google gears./p>

This project is a reflection of a need to create web mail client embeddable inside the Drupal framework so that is simple and powerful.

The motivation to create this module is due to following drivers.
1.The current approaches of AJAX web mail clients as primarily focus the ability to provide full group ware capabilities inside a single interface.
2.There is limited off line capability for the mail clients.
3.The code base is bulky

Mail on Gears(MoG) module is the first of such modules whose primary purpose is to fetch mail from IMAP servers.

This module works with the Google gears technology to enable an off line mail client with an efficient mail retrieval and synchronization mechanism.

For a full description of the module, visit the project page: http://drupal.org/project/ – TBD

-- TROUBLESHOOTING --

Just to mention few bugs/issues which we know already are there.
May not work on IE6, Opera and certain Safari versions
Screen resolution on FF should be at least 1280px and on IE7 it should be 1440px.
Synchronization is a major challenge. We have tried our best in a short time to overcome it. But we know very well that issues remain with it. Especially when a user clicks on the folder or does a search or some other user actions (not all), then the default initial sync cycle is broken down.
There are quite a few UI issues various browsers(chrome etc). Of course our team is already working on it.
Very important – From our experience, we have seen that Gears only activate upon some user action on the page.

-- FAQ --
Q: Why do I need Mail2CMS ?

India Preparing To Launch Bhuvan To Combat Google Earth

India is all set to launch Bhuvan in March 2009 to combat Google Earth. Google Earth is providing high resolution data in the order of less than a metre. But the data is two to three years old. It cannot be of much use for any real-time exercise. But Bhuvan, to be launched by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), will get the images from the satellites and provide high resolution imagery data of the order of five metres. This can be of use for real-time exercises like disaster management and military operations.

Bhuvan, India's response to Google Earth, will be launched in March 2009 and will provide high resolution imagery data of the order of five metre which would be of great relevance for real-time exercises, including disaster management and military operations.

"The Google Earth is providing high resolution data in the order of less than a metre. But the data is two to three years old. It cannot be of much use for any real-time exercise. But Bhuvan will provide the relevant data for any real-time exercise," S K Pathan, Head, Geo Informatics Data Division, ISRO, said. Bhuvan, to be launched by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), will be a better alternative to Google Earth in terms of quality of data, he said. "Bhuvan, which means earth, will get the images from the satellites and provide high resolution imagery data of the order of five metre. This can be of use for real-time exercises like disaster management and military operations," he said. For real-time exercises, the latest data is a guiding force, he said. It can show the topography, altitude, depth and other features of any specific location. "This information will be required when you are undertaking a massive exercise like flood management or post-cyclone disaster mitigation," he said. The data could be of use to manage public services, internal security, town planning and infrastructure development activities.
