[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv-S7HvkBKA[/YOUTUBE]

Racketlon is 4 rackets, 1 sport whereby these 4 rackets include table tennis, badminton, squash and tennis. Participants challenge their opponents in each of the 4 racket sports follow the sequence above (from light to heavy). A racketlon match contains 4 sets, one in each sport. Each set is played to 21 points. The total winner of a racketlon match is not the one that wins most sets but the one that scores the most points in total. The winner is the best all round racket player.

INTERNATIONAL RACKETLON

The first pioneer of Racketlon was without knowing so, Fred Perry, whose sports clothing is still well known around the world today. IN 1929 he became Table Tennis World Champion in Budapest and from 1934 to 1936 he won Wimbledon in Tennis three years in a row. What followed were further international table tennis medals and tennis grand slam victories.

In the year 2003, the sport Racketlon went on World Tour for he first time, thanks to some enthusiasts from Sweden, where national tournaments are held since 1990.

It all started in 2001, driven by enthusiasts with the aim to launch Racketlon internationally – a game that, at that time, was played only locally in 3 countries (Finland, Sweden, and Austria).

In 2008, The Racketlon World Tour, organized by the International Racketlon Federation, takes place for the sixth consecutive year and contains 12 tournaments in 12 countries. It peaks with the World Championship in Furth, Germany at the end of the year.

Given the fact that the first international Racketlon competition was played in November 2001 and a spectacular growth by almost 300% during the last three years (from 524 players to 1925 players from 48 different countries on the world ranking – referring to the period from Jan 2004 through Dec 2006) we believe that Racketlon is, at the moment, the fastest growing sport in the world.

Topic
1) Why We Can’t Be Rich??

[addedon]November 10, 2009, 4:36 pm[/addedon]Why We Can’t Be Rich??

There are 2 categories of people in our sociey: The Rich & The Poor. Did you notice that everyone in this society have the potential to be the rich?? But most of the people does not achieve it due to their different thinking / working styles / life style.

For an example, nowadays most of the people are staying in apartment or condominium. But you notice that, some of the apartment are so dirty / messy but some not??? It is simple to explain this. For most of the poor, they not willing to pay for the maintenance fees / management fees, but they are not aware of due to lack of the fund, they can’t hire the professional to manage the apartment well. furthermore, This will also low down the future value of the property. From here you can see that, because of saving a little of money, then they lose a future.

Below is other differences between The Poor & The Rich:

For the poor, most of them just want their life to be ease & peace ; but for the rich, they like the challenges. Let’s thake career for the example, for the poor, they hope that they could work in the big company especially MNC, because they only want a stable earning and good working environment. On the other hand, most of the rich hope their child to work and surge in a small company. Furthermore, some of them, they even hope that their child to be an entreprenuer to set up their own business.

Beside, in the investment, the poor usually will choose those low risk investment which can only protect their wealth. For them, 3% – 5% of return from their investment is more than enough. But for the rich, they love the challenges the most. So, they usually more prefer to invest in those high risk investment. It is because they believe that “Low Risk, Low Return”.

The Rich Believe in Team Work

In the real life, the poor are very hardworking. They even more hardworking than the rich. But why they are putting a lot of effort, and they don’t get the same return?? This is because the definition of “hardworking” for both parties are different.

For the poor, their definition of “harworking” is work alone non-stop from early morning until late night. But for the rich, the term of “hardworking” can devide into 3 categories”

1.Team-Work

For most of the rich, they do have a good leadership skill, motivation skill. Especially for their sales team, the rich never go to sell their product / services by their own, they only lead & motivate their sales team, so that everyone will work toward the goals & enjoy the result.

2. Make The Money Work Together

Most of the poor, because of their fear to take risk, most of them will let their money to “sleep” in th bacnk and earning low interest rate. So, their money will become “lazy” and “low / no production” for them. For the rich, they will take their money go for investment. Most of them, they are looking for at least 10% of return from their investment. Even though when the rich is sleeping in the night, their money will work hard to help them to produce the profit. Example, they earn money through loan money to their friends to set up business to earn the interest or involve in purchasing of real estate and earning sales profit & rental profit. This is a clear comportment between 2 parties.

Lastly, in my point of view, the effort from the rich might not be compete with the poor. But the rich know how to utilize the resources such as people & money to help them to generate the profit / extra earning.

I believed everyone know the importance of having an stable / well financial planning. But the problem is how many people is planning for their own financial status, and going for their financial freedom?

Sometime we are confuse in our life, we don’t know how or where to allocate our money? What to invest? Is the insurance premium enough to cover? aren’t we save the money in the right place? These are the basic elements of financial planning. It always look simple, but you will find difficulties when you going to work it out. So, we need to form our “battalion”, and these “battalion” will use their strength to help us to go for our financial independence. But what is the element we need in this “battalion”?

Protector >> Help to protect our wealth

Strategist >>Recruit army, Accumulate wealth, and ready for attack

Monitor >> Analyst and oversee the statistic, giving the best recommendation / strategies to help to win the battle

Successor >> Distribute duty, and pass it to the next emperor

We have to from our own “battalion” in order to win the battle. ~~VICTORY~~

How we going to start our journey to achieve financial independence? There is only a line between the poor and the rich, which categories you fall into? To be continue…Thanks.
