Wake Up & Shine

Rock Bottom Isn’t the End — It’s Where Legends Begin.

Going broke. No money. No help. No backup plan. That’s the ultimate test for any man who claims to be strong.

That deep, dark hole?
It’s where the weak break… and the true leaders are forged.

Everything slows down.
Everything gets heavier.
The people who once said, “I’m here for whatever you need” disappear.
Friends become ghosts.
Family goes silent.
Even your own reflection dares you to quit.

And that’s when it hits you:
No one is coming to save you.
No fairy godmother.
No stroke of luck.
You either let misery crush you, or you grit your teeth and fight until life gets tired of throwing punches.

Because that is where a man’s true strength is born:
In hunger. In cold. In rejection. In complete solitude.
When all you have left are your hands, your mind, and your will to rise.

Every dollar earned after hitting bottom hits different.
Every win feels like payback.
Every door you open without favors feels like a declaration of war against everyone who doubted you.

And when you crawl out of that darkness — when you survive your own personal hell — your fears are gone.

Because a man who has faced nothing… fears nothing.

So stand up.
The poor, broken, and hungry version of you is not your ending.

It’s just the prologue of the legend you’re about to write.

Wake Up & Shine

“I slept on the streets, broke my bones, and they called me a fool… but I never stopped trying.”

When I was born, my parents didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. They nicknamed me “Chan Kong-sang”—born in Hong Kong. What they didn’t know was that my life would become a movie… and not always a comedy.

My parents were so poor, they almost sold me as a baby. At age 7, I was sent to a Chinese opera school that felt more like a prison than a classroom. There were no beds—just hard floors. Discipline came in the form of sticks.

I spent more than ten years locked away, training 19 hours a day. I learned to sing, act, and do acrobatics, but above all, I learned to endure pain. I broke my nose, fingers, ankle… once, I fell off a building and nearly died. But I never said “I can’t.” While everyone dreamed of being a star, I just wanted to survive by doing what I loved. Every fall became a chance to prove I was stronger than yesterday.

When I finally started acting, everyone said I was just a cheap Bruce Lee knockoff. They mocked me for being short, for my funny face, for mixing comedy with martial arts. But that was me. That was Jackie Chan.

I worked as a stuntman for almost nothing, risking my life while others took home the awards. Hollywood slammed the door in my face more than ten times… but I kept smiling. Because every time I fell, I’d get up with a somersault!

“If you ever fall so hard you don’t know how to keep going… remember: bones heal, but giving up leaves scars you can’t see.”

– Jackie Chan

The Tale of Two Brothers: The Seed and the Stone

In the sun-scorched village of Endura, nestled between barren hills and dry riverbeds, lived two brothers—Barak and Nemo. Born to a poor potter and a weary seamstress, they shared the same home, meals, and hardships. But their minds? Their minds were worlds apart.

Their father often told them:

“A man is only as rich as his thoughts. Gold does not make a man wealthy—wisdom does.”

But not both boys listened.

🧱 Nemo, The Stone
Nemo, the elder, carried the weight of the world on his shoulders—and made sure everyone knew it.

“We were born poor. The world is unfair. Only the lucky become rich,” he often said.

He worked hard—yes—but only for daily bread. When his pay came, it vanished as quickly as it arrived. Festivals, fine shoes, new trinkets. “Let me enjoy life,” he would argue, “tomorrow is uncertain.”

Whenever he failed, he blamed fate, family, and fortune.
He avoided books, mocked dreamers, and laughed at savings.

“Why store what can be spent? What’s the point?”

His life became a cycle of toil and tantrums, always waiting for a savior, never seeking a solution.

🌱 Barak, The Seed
Barak was younger but wiser. While others danced, he listened. While others spent, he saved.

One day, an old merchant named Zakar visited the village. He spoke of Babylon, the city of gold, and how he once rose from slavery to riches.

Barak listened intently and asked,

“Sir, how did you escape poverty?”
Zakar smiled, “I changed how I saw money—and how I saw myself.”

That night, Barak lit a candle and wrote:

“I will not let where I come from define where I go.”

He started setting aside a portion of his daily wage, no matter how small.
When mocked by villagers—including Nemo—he remained steady.
He studied scrolls on trade, business, and investment.
He practiced skills in the evenings: accounting, negotiation, and metalwork.

🛤️ The Fork in the Road
Years passed.

Nemo’s life worsened.
He borrowed more than he earned.
He blamed his misfortunes on the rich.
His home fell apart. His health declined. He grew bitter, waiting for a miracle.

Meanwhile, Barak had opened a small shop for copper pots. He reinvested profits. He hired apprentices.
His name became known in nearby cities.

When asked his secret, he said simply,
“Discipline. Time. Vision. And refusing to think like the poor.”

Eventually, Barak returned to Endura—riding a fine horse, wearing robes lined with silk.

💔 The Final Conversation
Seeing his brother arrive with wealth and honor, Nemo spat bitterly:

“You got lucky, brother.”

Barak sighed and placed a heavy coin pouch on the table.

“Luck? I planted seeds while you chased shadows. We had the same soil, same weather—but different tools.”

He continued:

“You chose excuses. I chose learning. You spent. I saved. You were blamed. I built.”

Nemo wept, not from pain—but from regret.

💡 Moral of the Story:
Two brothers. Same beginning. Two mindsets. Two destinies.

Poverty is not just a lack of money but often a presence of limiting beliefs.

Wealth is not just gold—but wisdom applied consistently.

Your mindset is either a seed or a stone—one grows, the other blocks growth.

📖 Final Reflection:
If you, dear reader, feel stuck like Nemo, know this:

It’s never too late to think like Barack.

Start with one seed today:

Save a coin.

Read a page.

Learn a trade.

Build a habit.

Change a thought.

Because thoughts become actions. Actions become habits. Habits shape destiny.

Wake Up & Shine

Paul Alexander passed away on March 11th, 2024 and with his passing, we say goodbye to a truly remarkable man. You might know him as “Polio Paul” or “the man in the iron lung.” His story is one of the most incredible examples of human strength and perseverance you’ll ever hear.

When Paul was just six years old, back in 1952, he caught polio during a major outbreak in the U.S. Within days, he was paralyzed from the neck down. He couldn’t breathe on his own, and doctors didn’t expect him to survive. But they placed him in an iron lung, a large, tube-like machine that helped him breathe and that machine kept him alive.

Most people who ended up in an iron lung didn’t live very long. But Paul did something extraordinary. He lived for more than 70 years inside that machine.

Living inside an iron lung, most people would assume a life of quiet existence, devoid of achievement. But Paul consistently defied limits, defining life on his own terms. He graduated from high school, then college, and went on to earn a law degree. He became a lawyer, practicing in Dallas, and even published a memoir, "Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung." Think about the sheer determination required to read, study, and communicate from within that machine. Paul's life is a powerful testament to the idea that our biggest barriers are often those we impose on ourselves. He taught us that with enough grit and ingenuity, we can achieve far more than we ever thought possible, proving that true resilience isn't just about bouncing back, but about pushing forward despite everything.

He always said that life was worth living, no matter the circumstances. And he proved it, every single day.

Perhaps the most profound lesson from Paul's life is the simple yet powerful truth that we can live fully, no matter what. He didn't wait for a cure or a miracle; he made the most of the hand he was dealt. He embraced technology, found ways to connect with the world, and pursued his passions with an unwavering resolve. His life wasn't defined by his disability but by his extraordinary ability to adapt, learn, and contribute. He reminds us that true living isn't about the absence of challenges, but about how we choose to face them. Paul Alexander embodied the ultimate iron will, showing us that even when circumstances try to cage us, our spirit can always find a way to soar free.
