About the Author

My name is Nik Karlil and I’m the founder of the blog.

I was born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, 24 years old this year (2009), a university graduate with a degree in Accounting/Banking and Finance, an entrepreneur, a life simplifying practitioner of some sort and a writer by hobby.

A year ago, I would’ve been the last person on earth to write on personal development. Besides being unproductive, I also was lazy, inconsiderate, selfish, needy and indecisive.

I was so bloody useless I felt like trash. The type not even the garbage collector would come to appreciate.

Not to sound dramatic, but I got really tired of myself at that point in time.

I got tired of being dependent on others, I got tired of all the dramas, I got tired of my laziness, indecisiveness, lack of clear goals, lack of passion and lack of purpose in life.

Fortunately however, I decided to change. I had come to the point that I was so sick of myself that there was simply no other option than to change (ok, there’s one more option, but I’m not the suicidal type).

I started to study all kinds of sources for personal development, and I started to implement the things I learned. Not everything was successful, but I’m more productive and happier than I was before. I learned to be independent, I found my passion and drive, and I’ve defined goals.

During this time, I learned a lot from blogs, and I’ve discovered that I liked the concept of blogging. I also found that I have a different take on personal development (sometimes even very different). I enjoy writing and there’s so much I want to talk about. It all added up and that’s how the concept for Personal Development Pro was born.

In essence, this blog is about being independent, simplifying life, creating your own version of happiness, avoiding unnecessary drama, increasing productivity and finding genuine love and peace in this era of reduced polarization of society.

Society can drive us crazy with its tendency to make life complicated and miserable. I felt like that at one point in my life. I’ve gotten past that now. If that’s what you want too, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to Personal Development Pro.
