An Unforgettable Experience of being bullied which inspired me.

How subconscious mind can help you to be successful in everything that you want? If you desire a real change in your life, no matter how big or small, you must have a 100 percent commitment. Anything that you want can be achieved only if you wanted it desperately.

I have a story to tell, about one of my life experiences which made an impact on me. When I was 12 years old, I was bullied in the school bus by three other children who were one year younger than me. I hated taking the bus to school and I couldn’t tell anyone either, otherwise you will be called a coward or somehow you will be blamed for allowing it to happen. My mind was finding ways to run away from the bullies. There must be something I can do by myself, so that I don’t need to take the bus to school. That’s when I decided that I want to go to school by bicycle.

If I could ride a bicycle to school, there will be no bullies to deal with in the school bus. I could have more time instead of waiting for the school bus before and after school, but my parents couldn’t afford to get one for me. When one of my senior friends told me about a part-time job as a caddy in the local golf club, I managed to get a job the following year as a caddy. The only issue was that I needed a transport to go to work in the early morning to be able to register my name; as the system is based on first come, first to work. It was school holidays of about one and a half month, so I can occupy my time.

My friend who was already working there didn’t mind to give me a ride as a pillion on his bicycle. I had to wake up at 5 in the morning and my friend will pick me at 5.15 to the golf club, which is about 20 minutes bicycle ride, 4 km away from our house. Things were going my way to earn RM 1.35 for one and a half hours of work. Some days, there will be no work if we had gone to work a bit late as other caddies would have registered earlier than us. My earning is only a few ringgits a week. I saved my money with my mother to buy a bicycle.

One day, there was this drug addict from the neighborhood trying to sell his bicycle (those days, bicycles had registration certificate with the bicycle frame number). There was nothing more than a bicycle with a frame with two tires, paddles, handle and a damaged seat. You can ride it but you have to use your feet as a brake. I immediately begged my mother to buy it without any second thought. I was only 13 years old; the bicycle was bought for RM 13 which was a coincidence. It was one of the happiest moments for me, since it was my first achievement of a dream of buying something with my own effort.

Soon after, I started saving more to buy parts and fix the bicycle with brakes, light powered by a dynamo, proper seat and other accessories for safe riding. Then, I asked for permission from my mother to go to school with my bicycle. It took some time for me to persuade her but finally she allowed me to cycle to school. That’s how I escaped the bullies from the school bus.

I was too young to understand how subconscious mind works, I only knew that work earns money. With my own effort, it was possible to achieve the things that I want, without effort, nothing works. There were some other invisible factors affecting me, the self-motivation, persistence, commitment to find a way not to take the bus to school to avoid the bullies. I understand it now.

What we experience in our lives, programs our mind in such a way that our present lives actually revolve around our past experiences. Unless, you understand how the most amazing computer in the world work; which is your brain, you will never be able to reprogram it for your own advantages. Everyone of us have different experiences and so many stories to tell but most of the time, we only share the visual part of it and the invisible part was never shared.
