The Stories Of The Scissors Sharpener’s Daughter
Gerry and I.
Okay, okay, I admit it.
I have been procrastinating on my book for the past years.
There are several reasons for this.
I doubt anybody would be interested to read it. I fear people would laugh at my mistakes. I worry over the financial cost involved.
I think many writers shares similar setbacks too.
But all that changed yesterday when I met Gerry Robert, the famous author of the international bestselling “The Millionaire Mindset.” At his preview seminar, Gerry managed to convince me to put aside my doubts, fears and worries.
In such a short time, I managed to learn a lot from Gerry. He was such a warm, humorous, cheerful and generous guy. Gerry was unselfish in sharing his expertise with his audience. I am looking forward to learn more from this impressive mentor on the field of writing a book.
After hearing him speak at his preview seminar “Publish A Book and Grow Rich” I think the time has come for me to get my book out and be done with it.
And then move on with life.
“Anybody can write a book. The moment you start writing the first word, you’re already an author” Gerry said. Boy, I love that, because I have always thought you need to write like J.K. Rowling or Margaret Mitchell to be qualified as an author.
“You don’t need to write a blockbuster, a masterpiece or to win a Booker Price, your book does not have to be perfect,” this Canadian author, motivational speaker and trainer said in his preview seminar to a group of budding writers.
“Many Malaysians have got their books written after attending my seminars. One lady even went out to sell her book before she started her first page. You just have to have confidence in yourself.”
“Another lady even asked me, should I use Queen’s English or American English and I told her it doesn’t matter.”
“Move into action. Just write your stuff, get the book out and see the money start rolling in,” he said as a matter of fact.
I have a vast collection of short essays that I have compiled into a little book called “The Stories Of the Scissors Sharpener’s Daughter“ to be on sale soon. It is about growing up in a small tin-mining town called Ipoh where life is simple and innocent.
See My Book’s Preface.
If you are interested to read my first book, drop me an e-mail.

And have I told you that I am going to start on the second one? I assure you it will be sensational.
For me, writing is a passion and I can’t stop…..
At the preview seminar I met Sharifah, a successful lady from Penang who was inspired by Gerry’s book, The Millionaire Mindset.
Thirteen years ago, she was too broke to attend his seminar but today, she have a bungalow, a car and six schools. It shows that if there is a will, there is a way.
