I was watching CNBC everyday at my office.
There is an adv about 'Looking Back' and I am so interested in this SuperHero name Nick Leeson who collapsed the Barings Bank on 1995.
Why am I so interested in him? Reason is.... I rmbed somehow I heard his name before but I cant recall anythin now. Aging most probably.
Well... Lets talk about him :
1. Nicholas Leeson aka Nick Lesson's life started as a classic rags-to-riches tale.
Clerk ---> XX ---> XX ---> GM @ Barings Bank ---> CEJ for 6.5yrs ---> Speaker & Author - --> CEO of Football Club
He such a strong man and he is goin tru the up n down of the life cycle... from a very low position to GM of one of the biggest bank then been sentenced for 6.5yrs jail then released and relearned and replaned then invited to speak at conference and write book and then appointed as CEO of Football Club. If I were him, I dont know wat will be to me NOW, I dun hav such courage and spirit to survive after all the BAD things.Maybe I should learn from him of cos not the BAD things and is his determination to go on his life.
Moral of the story : Life is unpredictable. We cant foresee our future. So, be strong and determined to wat we hold and wat we wan. Maybe one day... You will be as successful as him (Not the jail la)..so HOLD IT and LIFE GOES ON NO MATTER HOW!!!!
2. Colon Cancer : he diagnosed a colon cancer while he was in prison and now is fully recovered from it.
"I'm of the mindset that cancer must not take you over and control your life. I do believe that the more positive you are, the greater your chance of survival." his advice to others is never to bottle up stress as he himself did: "You need to talk and express yourself as I now do to Leona(his wife). With cancer as with other problems, it's amazing how adaptable human beings are, and you will be able to cope provided you keep a strong frame of mind."
Positive thinking will lead u to a bright side! No matter wat happens, jus think positively.. everything will comes to you automatically..!!! Life is short, diseases are varieties, cures are limited, but our mindset must be strong enuf to fight it!!!!!!!!Nothin can beat you up if you keep a strong frame of mind and a strong passion on it!!!!
3. Nick Leeson's first wife Lisa divorced him while he was in prison. He married an Irish beautician, Leona Tormay
"In prison you really need something to hang on to. That something was my relationship until suddenly I didn't know what was going on between Lisa and me. Eventually I wrote offering a divorce and after two weeks she replied, saying yes."
A relationship is build up by 2 parties. When 1 party has no feelin on you or not passionate enuf , there is no point to keep on it and we hav to look for a point and the point is... Let her/him go. Do not hold someone/something tat doesnt belong to you if you really love her/him. The best way for a relationship is to be generous and considerate. Not to be selfish and stuborn. Becos there are lots more outside there and eventually you can meet your true and the oli one love. Maybe in 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years , 20 years or even the day before you are going to another space!!!!! Who Know? And we must believed on it ! (wat v called it , HOPE)
