A dear mentor & advisor... forever grateful to him...

This is a very useful article i found on Jet's site.It about, "What do i do when i meet my mentor / someone i wanna learn from?"
The author is someone whom i respect alot, and learn alot from, Mr. Jet Toh. I have his blog address at the sidebar, under "My favourite webby".

Jet is a self-made millionaire (he earned his million within 3 years!), a senior trainer @GSS Training Academy and biz owner of World Business Group (WBG). At first before i met him 2 years back, i thought, "Wah, millionaire leh! Must be very cocky and stuck-up... maybe he's just another old man advising us to follow their ways...Whatever...must have some rich pple as backup to help him get to the top"

However, meeting him proves me so wrong... Jet is a down-to-earth mentor,looking much MUCH younger than any 32 years olds (thanks to Hunza products), who is humble and very willing to teach young people like me, no matter what background, education we are from, he is always very willing to share his experience about anything with anyone of us.

Not only that he doesn't mind sharing and mentoring us, he is also the type which i label as "Wealthy" and not just successful or rich (refer to Nicholas chia's sharing). He has health, he's got life, and sense of purpose and mission in life.

Can anyone ever imagine Jet, how *TOOT* he looked when he was a Financial controller in PSA?? i was so amazed by the change in him! He showed me some of his photo before...in his Jet's blog. Totally different from now!!

If anybody thinks that he has any strong backings, it may only be that he is a 2nd class honours degree holder in Accountancy, NTU. I found out that he was in the same primary school, SiLing Pri as i am!!! Used to live @ woodlands..where he was from a poor family... he used to tell me that when he was young, his family of 4 have to share a packet of nasi lemak for A WHOLE DAY...that was how poor his family was...

If he can achieve what he has today, partly it must have been his determination and perseverance, and that he wants to honour his family as well. If he can, why can't i?

If he was from a well-to-do family, i would have said that he relied on his family, however, we all started out as normal people. He worked hard towards his goals, which is the thing i am most impressed about. He's got the determination to start something, not give up and work towards the end result he wants. Most of us start something without having the end in mind. He always emphazied that it was GSS's education which changed him from the 80% of the population, towards the top 20%.

And, he does not stop there. He attends courses, Top courses from all over the world. He has spent almost more than $10,000 over the past year,JUST ON EDUCATION! $8,000 on Mark Victor Hansen's, $2,000 on Rocky Liang's in Taiwan, etc. Shares it with us when he comes back...He is a man of his words, because if he asked us to seek help in improving life skills, he's the first to do it and puts it into action.
《以理服众，以德服众》this is the kind of leader pple will utimately recognise... not by position, but honour, actions and results.
