Recently, I received a call from Channel News Asia asking me to do an interview for a show on ‘Dealing with Failure in Singapore’. They asked me questions like, ‘ How do you deal with failure?’ etc… Then the last question they asked shocked me quite a bit. The questions was…..

Adam Khoo is a person that many people love to HATE…What are your comments about this?

So, I asked them why they would ask such a question. They said that from their research, they have found that there are people out there who hate people like me who have become rich and successful at a young age. Such that they would take every opportunity to criticize and tear us down. Sure enough, if you read some FORUMs, you would definitely find a handful of people sliming me…and even people like Anthony Robbins, Robert Kiosaki, Hillary Clinton etc…

They would say stuff like, ‘Adam is just another con man’, ‘ Adam is just a luck bast***’, ‘ Adam is an arrogant assho**’, ‘ Adam’ just interested in making your money, and not helping anyone’ etc… The funny thing is that all these comments come from people who have NEVER READ MY BOOKS, NEVER ATTENDED MY SEMINARS and don’t EVEN KNOW WHO I AM. Although it used to hurt me to read such comments in the past, I don’t really care about it now. This is because it is the people who have ATTENDED MY PROGRAMS and READ MY BOOKS who have given me all the love,encouragement and support, much more than what these critics can write.

What baffles me is why some people are so hateful to others who they don’t even know, just because we happen to be rich and successful. I have discovered that there are many people out there who DESPISE others who are rich and successful. When they see someone is a beautiful car or living in a mansion, they would say things like, ‘ FILTHY RICH BASTAR**”, ‘ Must be his father gave him the money lah!’ I used to have friends who are like this

DO YOU RESPECT OR DESPISE THE RICH- IT AFFECTS YOUR OWN WEALTH & SUCCESS

I believe that if you hate rich and successful people, you will never be rich yourself. Why? Because your subconscious mind will never allow you to be someone you despise. When I was young, I used to go WOW when I saw rich people and I used to believe that they DESERVE what they got, admired them for it and CHOSE to MODEL THEM. That is one of my success secrets for being rich. I think that those who sit aside and slime/ criticize others (especially the successful) for no reason, are just bitter that they don’t have the guts to go for their own dreams. So, they make themselves feel better by sliming others.

DO YOU SEE THE BEST OR THE WORST IN OTHERS?

Recently, someone bought a FOREX ebook online and found that the materials were EXACTLY The same as the WEALTH ACADEMY FOREX training notes developed by own of my trainers, Yeo Kheong Hee. Without making any verification, this person assumed that Kheong Hee copied from this online ebook and wrote a real nasty email to my company to accuse kheong hee of being a con and a cheat. He then circulated this email to all the past participants. What I was really disappointed with was that there were other past students who jumped in, sending malicious and nasty emails commenting that Adam Khoo Education Group was in the wrong for supporting this trainer blah blah blah

After appointing an litigation lawyer and doing a full investigation, we have irrefutable evidence that in fact, the ebook sold online copied and stole kheong hee’s materials. We are now pursuing legal action to sue all those people who have infringed on our copyright and defamed us without just cause. However, my point is why do some people ASSUME THE WORST in others? Why did people maliciously attack my trainer when they saw the chance, even before they got the facts? Again the sad thing is that these bunch of people who started it weren’t even his students! They were just out to make trouble and to sabo Kheong hee’s reputaion and mine. Is it because they are so jealous that Kheong Hee makes US$20,000+ a month as a FOREX trader and is financially free at age 33?

Recently, when Hillary Clinton cried on national TV after an initial nomination loss and later regained victory in New Hampshire, people posted comments on youtube calling her a faker and opportunists and playing the weak feminine card. If you have read her biography, you will know that Bill and Hillary Clinton made a pact when they were students in Yale University that they will both HELP THE POOR and LEAD THE COUNTRY by becoming US Presidents one day, Bill and then Hillary. Hillary’s was so focused on her goal to become president that when Bill was accused of sexual misconduct when she was first lady, she did not leave or divorce him. Instead, she chose to stand by him and forgive him because she had the bigger picture in mind. She wanted to become President after Bill and knew that divorcing him would destroy her chances.

Instead, she chose to show her strength and courage by standing by him, forgiving him and rebuilding everything so he could one day help her to get elected…which is what she is doing right now. I don’t know about you, but I truly admire this woman. She is so focused on her goals and the bigger picture, that she is willing to manage her emotions and put aside their differences to work towards a bigger cause…for the American People. But some people criticize her actions as being calculating, manipulative and devious.

My question is why are there people who SEE THE WORST in others and find satisfaction in sliming others whenever they get the chance. Why do they do it? I have always chosen to always see the very best in others instead. I believe that when we see the good side of others, it makes our world a much better place to live in and it brings out the best in ourselves as well…what do you think?
