    Disclaimer:

    You will most probably end up improving your results if you read this. Thesuccesses experienced here are both my own and of the students who have

    come under my tutelage. While I wish I could say that you will definitelygain results by reading this alone, I also know that no 2 individuals are alike.

    I cannot guarantee that you will achieve the same success just by reading

    this manual alone. However, I know that you can succeed, because of the

    skills you already have, if you undergo proper tutelage.

    Having the ability to accelerate your learning in 5months is impossible unless you read this report!

    The fact that you are taking some time off and reading this means that you

    have a strong desire to increase your learning speed and achieve massive

    results in 5 months!

    In the next 5 months, most of you who are still schooling will most probably

    encounter some sort of test or exam. Chances are, you are most probably

    going to go about your revision the same way and probably end up getting

    the same results! Arent you tired of average results? Dont you think you

    deserve so much more?

    Imagine what your life would be like if you could learn everything you knew

    in half the time? Imagine how you would feel if you could constantly top the

    class or even the level? Sounds impossible? Read on and see with your own

    eyes how possible it actually is!

    1) How to use this report to your ultimate advantage

    I have broken down this report into 3 main portions for you. The first part

    serves to re-introduce you to your powerful brain and the way it functions. I

    will cover briefly the concepts of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), and

    our beliefs system, which will show you how to align your values and

    beliefs for success.

    In the second part, I will share the secrets I have used, on myself and with

    my students, to achieve results that have left many of my peers speechless.

    These secrets have taken me about 4-5 years to learn and Im giving them

    away to you for free!

    And lastly, I will give you various examples and exercises you can use

    immediately to take charge of your life and achieve the results that you

    want!

    2) Left brain, right brain, still one brain!

    You and I are both born with the same set of hardware!

    This sentence makes sense doesnt it? You and I are both born with basically

    the same hardware! A brain (probably almost the same size), some facial

    features and a body to work with! In other words, we basically share the

    same neurology! What this means is that you and I are both created equal.

    Agreed?

    However, even though we are all created almost the same, not everyone will

    eventually become successful! Different people will achieve different levels

    of success! Now why is this so? What is the difference between someone

    who is immensely successful and someone whos not? Why is it many of us

    cannot seem to achieve the same level of success as Bill Gates or Steve

    Jobs?

    Take a moment to think about it!

    Still not too sure why? Well, research and studies have shown that the

    difference between highly successful individuals and their peers is the way

    they use their brains! Thats right! The ways we use our brain ultimately

    affect the kind of results we achieve! So basically, if you want to be

    successful in whatever you do, you need use your brain the way the experts

    do. You need to use the same set of strategies successful people use!

    The difference between highly successful individuals and their

    peers are their values, beliefs and their set of strategies.

    This whole concept might sound a little foreign and unfamiliar to you. In

    fact you may even be unconvinced! However, just for now, I need you to put

    aside any doubts you might be having now and allow me to explain myself.

    Imagine you know of 2 friends who attended the same school since young.

    They were taught by the same teacher and went for the same tuition classes.

    But, during the exams, one of them consistently outperformed the other.

    Why is that so? Remember, both of them had the same amounts of exposure

    and the same kinds of lessons!

    Does it make sense to you if I said that the one who constantly scored better

    probably had a set of better strategies that worked? Yes? Imagine how it

    would be if you could consistently outperform the rest of the class!

    Wouldnt it be fantastic if you knew what those strategies were? What if I

    told you that all you have to do is read on, and all these strategies will be

    yours to keep. Will that be of interest to you? I bet it would!

    Before you start scanning this page looking for that bit of rare information,

    I need you to be aware that, in order for all the techniques and strategies to

    be effective, you will require a certain set of positive beliefs.

    Earlier on I mentioned that people are able to succeed because they possess a

    certain set of values and beliefs. It is this very set of values and beliefs that

    enable them to get the very best out of themselves!

    To succeed at everything you do, you must possess the right beliefs

    and values!

    Imagine what life would be like if you didnt believe that you were capable

    of anything. Imagine what it would feel like if the first thing that came to

    your mind every morning is Sigh, what another long and boring day I

    really dont know why Im putting myself through this Life is just so

    unfair, life is just so miserable!

    Pretty devastating dont you think? Now, if you were this person, do you

    think you will ever be able to achieve huge success in life? NO! Definitely

    not! Probably not in a million years!

    On the other hand, if you woke up every morning thinking the world is full

    of opportunities! Im going to make my first million today! or thank

    heavens for everything I have do you think that there is a higher probability

    that you will succeed? Of course!

    How many of you have heard of Michael Jordan? Im sure we all have. But

    how many of you actually know the story behind his life of success? Did

    you know that when he was young, Michael couldnt even make it to his

    schools basketball team? Surprised? Thats exactly how I felt when I heard

    about it!

    However, did he say Oh well, maybe Im not destined to play basketball?

    Did he give up when all his friends laughed at him? Well if he did, we would

    all be deprived of a superstar player today!

    Many people fail in life because of the set of limiting beliefs they have!

    Many people I have come into contact with have limiting beliefs that act as a

    thick huge wall, preventing them from achieving the kind of success that

    they desire!

    If you were a student and constantly believed that Chinese or Math or

    Science was a very difficult subject, chances are, youd most probably do

    average, or perhaps even worse, at that subject. Likewise, if you believe that

    you are lousy at your CCA in school, youd most probably end up as an

    average player, or worse!

    The reason why I was able to achieve consistently high results for all my

    Math exams was because I always thought that I was the best! I believed that

    Many successful gurus have used this formula and attained success desired

    by many in life! These people include Anthony Robbins, Dr. Richard

    Bandler, Stuart Tan, Adam Khoo, and the many others who were trained in

    one way or another by them, including me!

    1. Setting very specific and quantifiable goals.

    When youre finally armed with positive beliefs about yourself, you will

    find that you will be able to set goals for yourself! Now, Im not saying that

    you cannot set goals without a proper belief system. What Im saying is that

    without this positive belief system, many people will tend to give up halfway

    or even when they are nearing their goal! They will start to think that

    achieving success is impossible or its just too hard to be successful!

    In addition to setting that goal, you have to be highly specific about it! Many

    of my students started out by saying that they want to do better or get

    better grades or just pass loh. When you dont allow yourself to set

    specific goals, your mind will not know what to aim for and ultimately settle

    for anything that comes along the way!

    2. Strategy planning

    After setting that goal (mine is to ensure that the boy tops his level) you have

    to sit down and plan a series of steps you are going to take to get to that

    goal!

    If youre goal is to top the level in the final year exam, you have to start

    thinking of ways on how youre going to achieve it! Such steps could

    include

    i) Studying for x hrs a day

    ii) Doing x no. of questions a day

    iii) Seeking help from person x

    And so on

    3. Taking action

    This is by far the most difficult step to do! Many of us will plan and plan and

    plan and fail to put all those plans into place!

    Take me for instance. Ive planned for a long time to write this report but I

    didnt get it done till recently. To be exact, I had intentions on writing it

    almost 2 years ago! Problem is, many of us face issues like procrastination

    or the Hmm I think Ill do it tomorrow syndrome.

    I overcame this problem by asking myself why I wanted to write this report.

    I kept on asking why, why, why until I found that reason that gave me the

    passion to propel me to take action!

    4. Results

    Once, a great man told me this. Whether you pass or you fail, it is still a

    result! Never look at failure and admit defeat!

    Thats very true dont you think? Whether we pass or we fail doesnt

    represent if were stupid! We can fail and fail time and time again but that

    doesnt mean that were stupid! It simply means that were using the wrong

    strategies!

    So, all we have to do is to go back to step 2 and keep on changing our

    strategy until we finally achieve the results that we want!

    Colonel Sanders of KFC was rejected about 1000 times before he finally

    managed to set up KFC. He started at a rather old age and became successful

    over night all because he followed this strategy!

    Thomas Edison took almost 1000 times before he finally managed to find

    the right material to use for the light bulb. His reaction? I dont think I

    failed at all! I think I just found 999 ways how not to make a light bulb!

    The next person could be you. So drop me an email if youve achieved your

    results after using this formula! Remember, no result is ever too small!

    Do you see how important powerful sets of beliefs are? Do you think you

    could have persisted and accepted a 1000 NO!s ? I still dont think I can

    yet.

    Now that you know how to effectively use your brain, I think youre finally

    ready! Im going to share with you the secrets I used to get the results I have

    been getting! Read on only if you want to know how to get great results in a

    short period of time!

    Tip #1. Know what youre going to be tested on.

    Many students study for the sake of studying. They dont seem to know

    what they will be tested on and they dont seem to want to find out. Many

    will wait till a month before the exams before they start panicking. Some

    will still manage to score well (and brag about it), while others may fall very

    badly.

    The key Ive found to be an expert at any subject is to know what the

    examiner wants! Some of you may be thinking at this moment How in the

    world am I going to know what the examiner wants?! While this idea may

    sound challenging and confusing, implementing and mastering it is pretty

    simple.

    Before you start studying for any topic, quickly look at the kinds of

    questions that are in your textbook! Pay particular attention to what the

    question is testing you on. Next, if you have access to any other assessment

    books, do the same and quickly jot down what you need to know to solve the

    questions.

    This way, when you study, you will know what to focus on and more

    importantly, what to look out for! How many times have you studied so

    hard only to realize you didnt cover the main points?

    Tip #2. Read once through before zooming in

    The idea here is to get a rough feel of what the topic is about, especially if

    its a new one. After reading the questions (Tip #1.) and knowing what is

    expected of you, read the text very quickly. Should you come across any

    area of difficulty (which you will), glance through it first even though you

    do not comprehend. Chances are, when you return to the challenging parts,

    you will already have sufficient knowledge to tackle it.

    Tip #3. Set quantifiable goals

    Perhaps this should have been the first tip. Before you start, tell yourself

    how much you are going to read and complete and when you are going to

    take a rest. That way, your brain will be able to adjust itself and motivate

    you to finish up whatever you have planned. The old adage Failing to plan,

    is planning to fail applies here. The interesting thing that research has

    shown, about our brain, is thatplanning and setting goals literally forces us

    to finish things that we have started!

    Tip #4. Plan your time well

    While this has been used and repeated over and over again, it never fails to

    plan your time well so you dont end up cramming for your exams!

    How long before should I prepare myself for the exams?

    Well as much as I would like to give a definite answer, this really depends

    on the individual and how he has been training himself over the years. If you

    are able to retain huge amounts of information for months at a time, then

    starting up to 3 months in advance should be good enough for you.

    However, if you find yourself forgetting things very easily (the result of poor

    memory techniques) then maybe 2 months in advance should be a guide.

    The final 2-3 months should be used as time for final revisions!

    Not the start!

    I hope I did not confuse any of you when I stated the short periods above.

    What I meant by 2-3 months of prep time was dedicating these final months

    to final preparations! Initial preparations should have started the day your

    teacher taught you on the subject.

    What? ON THE SAME DAY?

    Yes! You have to start revision within 24 hours of learning or else risk

    losing up to 50% of your new knowledge!

    Using a variety of methods and systems, I have taught the few of my

    students the ideal time to study so that information retention becomes

    integrated into the long-term memory!

    Tip #5. Find your true source of motivation

    This tip is simple yet powerful. I need you to ask yourself why you want to

    succeed. Why do you want to do well in your studies? Why? Find out the

    true reason why you must succeed and you will!

    Tip #6. Study as if your life depended on it

    I asked a couple of my students this questions once. Would the way you

    study change if I told you that your life depended on it? Guess what most of

    them said? Their initial reaction was Are you crazy? My life?

    Yes, your life I replied. All of them told me that they would increase their

    efforts by at least another 100%!

    Funny isnt it? They knew that if they had to bet their lives on their grades

    and their results, theyd definitely improve! And they would probably end

    up getting that A! So whats stopping them? Whats stopping you?

    Heres a trick Ive learnt that got me studying even when I didnt feel like

    it. Would you like to know what I did?

    I told myself this. If I didnt get that A, Id have to give half my savings to a

    charitable organization. What do you think happened?

    Tip #7. Practice, practice, practice.

    However smart you are, however talented your teachers have made you out

    to be, you still need to practice! Flaunt this rule and face the consequences!

    Period.

    These are the 7 tips I have come up with over the years and I hope they will

    be as useful to you as they have to me.
