Wealth coach Chinkee Tan launches new book By CHRISTINE H. CABIASA, Lifestyle Editor Photos by IRENE B. DAYO, Reporter
“ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 This was the opening statement of Wealth and Lifestyle coach Mr. Chinkee Tan as he spoke before the crowd of “wealth and success chasers” and launched his new book on a Tuesday evening at Victory Lifebox, this city. Heavy downpour did not stop hundreds of “Chinkeewanna-be” to come to the venue and get a glimpse of Chinkee’s “new gift” entitled “The Secrets of the Rich and Successful”. Adding spice, Chinkee gave positive tips and positive points which definitely made us left the venue with a positive outlook in life, even made others astonished to the extent of discussing immediately with their friends, destinations they want to realize and directions they want to take. ***** This writer’s thought. I came to Chinkee’s book launching not as one of those “wealth and success chasers” but as a member of the press covering the event, then gotcha! Wrote only a two-paragraph story (as you have read above) about the “event”. I did not expect Chinkee’s greatness haunted me ‘til 3:00am of Wednesday. Well, I have heard thousands of “rags-to-riches” stories from friends and common taos; taught me to strive more, to be more like them. But hey, the story of my life is from rags, definitely, but I do not know or should I say, I am not sure if it will be a “toriches” novel. Until I heard what Chinkee has to say and said. “Claim that you are destined to be rich” Chinkee said, “Claim your destiny. Believe that you are destined to be rich”. I was totally amazed. Honestly, I
said to myself, “Of course, I am destined to be rich” (But must work hard to attain it, with a smile). Yes, we must claim first to ourselves that our destiny is to become rich. If you, yes you, not me or anybody else do not claim your destiny, then you will not be rich. Believe in the power of “I can do it and yes I can do it”. Condition your mindset that you are destined to prosper, couple it with good actions and you will harvest a positive result. According to Chinkee, “You and I are destined to be rich and successful.” “Turn your dreams into reality” “God wants you to be blessed so that you will become a blessing to others.” Of course, you cannot give what you do not have. If you will not work out your dreams, then it will not be realized. It will just be a dream, if not attempt to be achieved, then it will remain an impossible dream, you are definitely dreaming an impossible dream. Thus, according to Chinkee, in order for you and I turn our impossible dreams to possible ones, we must serve for it and live for it (Probably,
not die for it ‘cause you will not savour its fruit when you are gone, just kidding). You gotta ask these questions. First, what is my dream in life? Second, what is the compelling reason why I want to achieve this dream? Third, how will I achieve this dream? And fourth, when will I achieve my dream? Know what your direction is and work and plan it out. Live life with meaningful specifics. According to Chinkee, “It doesn’t matter how long it takes as long as you are in the right direction, as long as you know where you are going and that you know that you are living your life with a purpose”. “Success is a choice” Success is a choice. Committing failures is a choice. Committing good deeds is a choice. Thus, reading this piece is a choice (and that is a good choice). Every single thing we do is a choice. Life is a choice. What you right now and where you are right now is the result of your choices in life. Never say you have no choice ‘cause the moment you say it, then that is still a choice. We are bounded by
choices in life. “God tests before He blesses” This phrase punched me and held me knocked out. I am 21. God has showered me with millions of life’s trials and challenges but
flooded me with billions of life’s graces and blessings. I have one stand. “Everything happens for a reason.” As I said, I came from rags but claimed my destiny to add “to-riches” after it.
I have undergone a lot of tests. Tests that made me cry. Tests that made me sorrowful. Tests that made me stronger and tests that made me who I am now. And I am telling you that writing this piece, writing this article is a choice. Lo and behold! Being with the Business Week Mindanao Group of Publications, being with Mindanao Daily News is a choice. My sincerest thanks to the following (Whoah! Even thanking them is a choice. Hahaha) Sir Dante, Maam Rose and family, Sir Shaun, Sir Nelson, Sir Cheng, Sir Ruel, Sir Allan, Sir Felix, Sir Ronmas, Ate Dolly, Ate Melanie, Ate Shiela, Ate Candy, Ate Joy Ann, Ate Irene, Grace, Irene, Mark, Shan, Ipong (I always follow Clifford’s horoscope, that’s him! What’s Mark Francisco’s horoscope for today? Hehe) and the production boys. Absolutely, right now I would say, being with this group is the best choice I made.
