Attract Success

Do you find yourself butting your head against the wall of success? Are you caught up in a revolving door going around and around? When you look at where you are in life, do you think you should be further ahead? Not long ago, I reviewed my goals. If you know me, you might realize that I am a dreamer. I have BIG dreams. But there are days when I, too, am frustrated. I feel like I am spinning my wheels of success in one place. On the outside, many people think I have it all together. They think I am so successful and I have arrived. Don't get me wrong, I am happy with the success I have had so far in my life. I am living my dream in America. I am blessed! I face everyday with excitement and passion. I am doing something I truly love. My vocation is my vacation. I have friends in high places. I am way ahead of many. Life is wonderful compared to what it was. I am successfully pressing on to greater things. But I have had my share of frustration along the way. Well, unlike many who are too busy trying to make a living instead of designing a life, I took the time to examine what I might be doing wrong. And my findings are really astonishing. I discovered that my doings are not in alignment with my being. And that may be your problem, too. Let me explain. Imagine for a moment that your mind is a garden. It is impossible to grow mangos from a watermelon seed. But it seems as though that is exactly what we are trying to do when it comes to aligning the seeds in our minds versus the harvest we want as a result. Seeds of doubt and fear planted in our minds can reap their own sort of crop. If you wake up doubting whether you will make it or not, it doesn't matter how much you have done for the day, you will not make much progress. You must believe! That's why you and I can't afford to let others dump their negative opinions in our heads and take them as the gospel truth. It's dangerous to our success! Most people will not utter one sentence without injecting some kind of fear or doubt in us. And keep in mind that the more influence others have on you, the more damage you allow them to do. One seed of fear is like a weed. Once allowed to enter our minds, it can grow wild and suffocate the good in you. I am sure you have heard that success is an inside job. We must first create it in our minds and intensely believe it is ours before it can become a reality. God never lets us down. We let ourselves down. Does that make sense to you? Until we meet again, take a good look at your own personal garden (your mind), and notice all of the weeds that may have overtaken it. Do you know how those weeds got there? Five years from now, if you are not careful, you may become what the people around you believe instead of what you wish for yourself. Be sure to always surround yourself with positive and successful people..

True Leader

A mark of a good leader is to be able to provide consistent motivation to his team encouraging them to attain excellence and quality in their performance. A good leader is always looking for ways to improve production and standards. Here are six management skills you can develop as a leader in working to create a quality effective team.1. Observation This is an important aspect that often gets neglected due the demands on a leader's time and schedule. Observation and regular visits to the work environment are a priority and should be scheduled into the calendar. Observing employees at work, the procedures, interaction and work flow is foundational to implementing adjustments to improve results. To have credibility, a leader needs to be seen and be known to be up to date with what is happening in the work place.2. Monitor Employee PerformanceEmployee performance needs to be monitored in mutually accepted ways. Policies and procedures need to be clear. Conferencing should be on a regular basis and not just when there is a problem. Assessments and evaluations should not be merely all formality or viewed a necessary paperwork to be done and filed away. Individual and group conferencing should be undertaken not only to monitor performance, but with the expectation of on going professional development and support. There should be frequent encouragement and clear criteria for on going goals both for the group and individual.3. Implementation of Professional Development ProgramsA good leader evaluates weaknesses and provides training and development strategies to strengthen the weaker skills in the team.4. Demonstrates Working Knowledge and ExpertiseGood leadership comes from a place of strong knowledge and experience of the production and process leading to results. If a leader does not possess all the expertise and knowledge personally, then regular consultations with experts involved in the departments should be held. This is important in order to maintain an accurate and informed overall picture.5. Good Decision MakingGood leadership is characterized by the ability to make good decisions. A leader considers all the different factors before making a decision. Clear firm decisions, combined with the willingness and flexibility to adapt and adjust decisions when necessary, create confidence in the leadership.6. Ability to Conduct and Evaluate ResearchOn going review and research is vital in order to keep on the cutting edge in business. While managing the present to ensure on going excellence in product and performance, a good leader is also able to look towards the future. Conducting and evaluating research is an important way of planning and being prepared for the future.Excellent leadership is always pro active rather than reactive. By developing these six managerial skills builds a solid foundation for success.

2008

2008 comin to an end soon. 2009 welcomes another unpromising good economy. 2008 showed a gloomy weather, and 2009 wouldn't be much better.

Braise ourself to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Gloomy as it is, we gotta have our own umbrella. Sharing may not be wise, stealing is prohibited and asking is not enough. Where do we go from here?

Shake it Off

A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule 'braying' - or - whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened...and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery. Initially, the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back...a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back...HE SHOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow. "Shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up!" he repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or distressing the situation seemed the old mule fought "panic" and just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND STEPPING UP! You're right! It wasn't long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, STEPPED TRIUMPHANTLY OVER THE WALL OF THAT WELL! What seemed like it would bury him, actually blessed him...all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity. THAT'S LIFE! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity... THE ADVERSITIES THAT COME ALONG TO BURY US USUALLY HAVE WITHIN THEM THE POTENTIAL TO BENEFIT AND BLESS US! Remember that FORGIVENESS- -FAITH--PRAYER-- PRAISE and HOPE...all are excellent ways to "SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP" out of the wells in which we find ourselves!

Truth of God

The Truth of God will have spread throughout the country, but those who know the Truth will be many; those who practice Truth will be few; those who teaches in theory will be many; those who understands the spirit few.

Our Attitude Determines Our Laptitude

A long time ago in China , a girl named Li-Li got married & went to live with her husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all.Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law' s habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly. Days passed, and weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting.But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband! D great distress. Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-! law's bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it! Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs.She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all. Mr. Huang thought for awhile, and finally said, "Li-Li, I will help you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you."Li-Li said, "Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do."Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a package of herbs. He told Li-Li, "You can't use a quick-acting poison to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people to become suspicious Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and put a little of these herbs in her serving. Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspect you, when she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. "Don't argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen." Li-Li was so happy.She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law. Weeks went by, and months went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the specially treated food to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper!r, obeyed her mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother. After six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't had an argument with her mother-in-law in six months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with. The mother-in-law' s attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the best daughter-in- law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now treating each other like a real mother and daughter.Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening. One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again She said, "Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my mother-in-law. She's changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her." Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, there's nothing to worry about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were vitamins to improve her health. The only poison was in your mind and your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her." HAVE YOU REALIZED that how you treat others is exactly how they will treat you? There is a wise Chinese saying: "The person who loves others will also be loved in return." God might be trying to work in another person's life through you. Send this to your friends and spread the POWER OF LOVE.

Chesnut Roastin on an Open Fire

It has been rainin for two days now. And its cold the last two nights. It reminds me that Christmas is just a month away. 'M gonna be home this Christmas after missing it for two years now. Where have I been and why i didn't go back home for Christmas?

Well, distance is one thing, work is the second thing and the third thing i just couldn't figure it out. Maybe because, the real spirit of Christmas has lost its essence. For some Christmas is a time of reunion, and celebrating the birth of Christ our Redeemer. But Christ was not born on Christmas.

For me, Christ was born, yesterday, tomorrow, and today. He'll always be there. And I am celebrating His birth each and everyday of my life. Should i wait for Christmas? But hey, its fun to have you this Christmas.

Empathy

Editors' Choice Article:Empathy at WorkDeveloping Skills to Understand Other People

"Tom is a great accountant, but his 'people' skills hold him back. I can't see how he'll ever be promoted unless he does something about it."

Many of us know people who have reached a certain point in their careers because they have excellent technical skills - but they somehow don't get along with team members, because their people skills lag far behind their other job skills.

This might be due to the insensitive manner in which they ask co-workers for things, the way they never seem to listen to what others say, or their intolerance for other working approaches.

Do you have colleagues like Tom? Or are you, perhaps, like Tom?

Workers with poor people skills can often find themselves in the middle of unnecessary conflict. This can be exhausting and stressful for all concerned, and it can destroy even the best laid work plans.

Many people are confident that they can develop new technical skills and knowledge through training and experience. However, there's a common belief that "you are how you are" when it comes to people skills - or "soft" skills - and that there's little or nothing you can do to change these.

Fortunately, this is far from true. And a great place to start improving soft skills is by developing the ability to empathize with others.


What Is Empathy?

Empathy is simply recognizing emotions in others, and being able to "put yourself in another person's shoes" - understanding the other person's perspective and reality.

To be empathic, you have to think beyond yourself and your own concerns. Once you see beyond your own world, you'll realize that there's so much to discover and appreciate!

People who are accused of being egotistical and selfish, or lacking perspective, have often missed the big picture: that they are just single individuals in a world with billions of other people (although, yes, this can be overwhelming if you think about it too long!)

If you've been called any of these things, then remind yourself that the world is full of other people, and you can't escape their influence on your life. It's far better to accept this, and to decide to build relationships and understanding, rather than try to stand alone all of the time.


Using Empathy Effectively
To start using empathy more effectively, consider the following:

Put aside your viewpoint, and try to see things from the other person's point of view.

When you do this, you'll realize that other people most likely aren't being evil, unkind, stubborn, or unreasonable - they're probably just reacting to the situation with the knowledge they have.

Validate the other person's perspective.

Once you "see" why others believe what they believe, acknowledge it. Remember: acknowledgement does not always equal agreement. You can accept that people have different opinions from your own, and that they may have good reason to hold those opinions.


Examine your attitude.

Are you more concerned with getting your way, winning, or being right? Or, is your priority to find a solution, build relationships, and accept others? Without an open mind and attitude, you probably won't have enough room for empathy.


Listen.

Listen to the entire message that the other person is trying to communicate.

Listen with your ears: What is he or she saying, and what tone is being used?

Listen with your eyes: What is the person doing with his or her body while speaking?

Listen with your instincts: Do you sense that the person is holding something important back?

Listen with your heart: What do you think the other person feels?


Ask what the other person would do.

When in doubt, ask the person to explain his or her position. This is probably the simplest, and most direct, way to understand the other person. However, it's probably the least used way to develop empathy.

It's fine if you ask what the other person wants: you don't earn any "bonus points" for figuring it out on your own.

For example, the boss who gives her young team members turkey vouchers for the holidays, when most of them don't even cook, is using her idea of a practical gift - not theirs.


Practice these skills when you interact with people. You'll likely appear much more caring and approachable - simply because you have increased your interest in what others think, feel, and experience. It's a great gift to be willing and able to see the world from a variety of perspectives - and it's a gift that you can use all of the time, in any situation.


Here are some more tips for an empathic conversation:

Pay attention, physically and mentally, to what's happening.

Listen carefully, and note the key words and phrases that people use.

Respond encouragingly to the central message.

Be flexible - prepare to change direction as the other person's thoughts and feelings also change.

Look for cues that you're on target.

Key Points

Developing an empathic approach is perhaps the most significant effort you can make toward improving your people skills. When you understand others, they'll probably want to understand you - and this is how you can start to build cooperation, collaboration, and teamwork.

Science Vs Bible

Do you believe if i said based on the fact that has been written in the Holy Scriptures, The Holy Bible, that we human beings originally ate plants, yea, the green thing, instead of the living creatures with flesh and blood? And yes, we supposed to eat plants. Well it was said in Genesis

1:29-30

And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food."

So not only we human ate plants, but the other living creatures of all in the animal kingdom are vegetarians? I probably would think so. And how on earth we started to eat flesh eating animals and animals eating of their kind? Ok, I found this to back it up in the scriptures. Let us go back to the time of Noah during the Great Flood.

Genesis 9:1-5

And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them,"Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beeast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish in the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. And for you lifeblood I will requires reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man.

After the great flood, there were little food to eat for everyone. So God allow human to eat every moving creature that lives. Read carefully, that lives. Animal that produce milk, chicken lays egg, bird lays egg. These are the animals that lives. But at that time, human misinterpreted that meaning. so they killed the animals and made them food. The taste was good, and so man eating flesh goes on till today. From his fellow man God will require reckoning for the life of man, for we eat the flesh with its life.

We kill chicken when we want to eat them for the reason of pleasure. We eat and indulge in eating meat for the reason of satissfation rather than hunger. These overeating, cost us our life. Human died to cancer, strokes, heart attack and all cardiovascular related diseases for eating meat. It was proven in science. God already said, we cannot kill animals with life and blood, for He will take our life in return. So there really is retribution.

What do you think? Science and Bible says it all

Ta Da...

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God,

Ask, and it shall be given unto you.

It means, before you ask for anything that you want in your life, which is for the good of all, and not for your own, you got to find something to believe. That is to believe God. Where is God? God is in you, and within you. So you gotta believe in yourself. And everything you ask and work for shall be fulfill and achieve. Believe in yourself and believe in God for His Kingdom is in you.

Ta Da...

Some people say let us wait for the right opportunity, but i say, let us create one.

Ta Da...

Yesterday is History,

Tomorrow is a Mystery

And Today, is a Gift

Top Food You Should Avoid To Eat

There will always be those fattening foods that are easy to make, easy to get, and easy to crave. You think 'OK, I know this is bad but it can't be that bad!' Think again. Here are the top seven foods you should never ever feed your family or yourself! 1.Doughnuts It's hard to resist the smell of a Krispy Kreme doughnut, which is why I never step foot in the store. Doughnuts are fried chock-full of sugar and white flour and loads of trans fat. According to the Krispy Kreme website, an average 3.5 ounce sugar doughnut weighs in with about 400 calories and contains few other nutrients besides fat. These sugary treats may satisfy your craving but it won't satisfy your hunger as most of the calories come from fat. 'Eating a lot of refined sugar contributes to blood sugar 'swings' or extreme fluctuations, ' eDiets Chief Nutritionist Susan Burke said. 2. Cheeseburger with fries The age-old classic may be delicious but think twice before sinking your teeth into that Big Mac. The saturated fat found in cheese burgers has been linked to heart attacks, strokes and some types of cancer. 'In fact, fast-food portions are gargantuan, almost double the calories per meal compared to 20 years ago,' Susan says. 'Twenty years ago the average fast-food cheeseburger had about 300 calories. Today's BK Whopper with cheese has 720. To burn the excess 420 calories, you'd have to run for 40 minutes. For example, in 1985 a medium French fry had 240 calories, 2.4 ounces. Today's 'medium' is 6.9 ounces and 610 calories. 'This fast-food meal of cheeseburger and fries has way too many calories and fat grams, not to mention grams of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol and sodium.' Let's break down this meal. First, take the white-flour bun (refined carbohydrates) , then add some processed cheese (saturated fat and trans fat, plus lots of additives and preservatives) and then top off with fried red meat (cholesterol and saturated fats). And let's not forget about the condiments such as the always fattening mayonnaise. Not sounding so appetizing anymore, huh? Oh, and let's not forget about the infamous side dish. You cheeseburger will most likely come with a side of French fries, which is sadly the most popular vegetable dish in the U.S. Don't kid yourself, French fries are not vegetables, they are extremely high in fat and contain a tiny amount of nutrients. 3. Fried Chicken and Chicken Nuggets With the recent class-action lawsuit between The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) and KFC, the health risks posed by fried foods are becoming more public. The CSPI is suing the food chain for their use of cooking oil containing unhealthy trans fats. The lawsuit seeks to order KFC to use other types of cooking oils and to inform customers how much trans fats KFC's food contains. Foods cooked in highly heated oils (most notably partially hydrogenated oil) have been known to cause cancer, weight gain and other serious health risks if ingested regularly. A 10-piece chicken McNugget from McDonald's has 420 calories, 24 grams of fat and 1120 milligrams of sodium. One Extra Crispy Chicken Breast from KFC has around 420 calories and eight grams of saturated fat. So unless you want to super size yourself, it's best to make a clean break with fried foods. 4. Oscar Mayer's Lunchables Sure they are convenient and easy, but boy are they unhealthy! These kid-marketed lunches are loaded with saturated fat and sodium. They usually contain highly processed meats and cheeses, white flour crackers and sugary treats. Lunchables get two-thirds of their calories from fat and sugar. And they provide lopsided nutrition since they contain no fruits or vegetables. 'They insidiously promote obesity by making kids think that lunch normally comes in a cellophane-wrapped box,' Susan says. 'Parents are promoting their children's obesity by buying these items. They're expensive, too. Pack a sandwich and save dollars and health...' 5. Sugary Cereal Not all cereals are created equally.. And while your kids might beg for the latest cookie or marshmallow chocolate surprise cereals, it is a safe bet they are about as healthy as a dessert. Keywords to look out for are puffed, dyed and sweetened. Most kids' cereals are so highly processed they no longer look like the grains they were originally made from. A healthy alternative is oatmeal. Although, if you are buying pre-packaged oatmeal make sure to check the label and see how much sugar it contains, you might be surprised. 'A little sugar isn't a problem but when the first ingredient on the box is sugar, then watch out,' she said. 'There is no fruit in Froot Loops. But the unsweetened original Cheerios or Rice Krispies are fine, and you can sweeten them naturally with blueberries and strawberries. ' 6. Processed Meats. What falls under the category of processed meats? Hot dogs, sausage, jerky, bacon, certain lunch meats and meats used in canned soup products. Almost all processed meats have sodium nitrite added as a preservative. A recent study conducted at the University of Hawaii found that sodium nitrite can act as 'a precursor to highly carcinogenic nitrosamines -- potent cancer-causing chemicals that accelerate the formation and growth of cancer cells throughout the body.' So eliminate these meats from your diet before they eliminate you! 7. Canned soup. Sometimes regarded as a healthy food, soups can be very deceiving. You must stay on your guard because many canned soups have high levels of trans fats, sodium and artificial preservatives such as MSG. Just one serving (which is roughly one cup) can have almost 1,000 milligrams of salt. Also, steer clear of soups that are cream-based, they can be high in calories and fat. Susan says it is important to 'read labels from back to front. Ignore the health claims, and instead focus on the ingredients and serving size. Watch out for hydrogenated fat (trans fat) and sodium. If you're buying bread to go with you soup, the first ingredient should be whole grain -- either whole wheat, rye or other grain. If it just says 'wheat bread,' that doesn't mean whole wheat.' We all want our family to be healthy and happy, so steer clear of these foods. Think it's difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle? Think again! eDiets make it simple to find healthy foods with the correct nutritional balance for you and your family. Our customized diet plans will help you lose weight and feel great!

Its What It Is All About

Often in life, we try to pursue something that we really want and of what we dearly need, for the sake of ourself or someone who we love/like very much.

As we go through that treacherous journey, little we realize that we are speeding without looking backward , left or right. That is because we are taught to live and to look forward and never to look behind anymore. We'll do any sort of means to fulfill that responsibility or roles that we are in. Many people failed to realized that, as we sped, we missed what is truly important in life.

It is like driving on the road. Lets treat the traffice lights, other vehicles, signboards, and other road obstructions are the building barricades of our journey in life. As we sped, we weave to avoid all these obstruction. The faster we go, the more dangerous it is. When things get faster, we tend to lose our sanity. We lose our mind, we start to follow our emotion. Anything that stops around our way, we'll get very angry. When we get angry, we honk incoming cars, tailgating slow cars and do all sort of inappropriate behaviour on the road.

The same thing happen in our real life situation. I often look back to see the car behind me to see if the driver got upset with my beserk driving skill. I would see from the rear mirror, and i could see and tell the driver's frustration. And sometimes they just shake their head to show their disappointment.

In my life, i use to sped and never look back. Many people did that, and failed to realized that, we got to look back and reflect through the rear mirror our life, to see the expression of others as a result of our action. What we said to others and how we treat others in this life, brings significant repercussion in the future. Be good to others, be humble, and take what it is given. Be grateful that we are not living worst than the people of the third world. Appreciate that God gave us a chance to live another day tomorrow.

Look back and learn our mistake. Leave what's bad and take what's good and bring it into the future.

I learned to realized that anger does not solve problem. It creates more problem and enemy. I learned to control it before it controls me. Problems are always there. Its a matter of solving it. And not putting it into a blame on others. But its an education for us to enhance our knowledge and skills as a survivor on this planet.

Practice makes perfect, but no one is perfect, so why need to practice? Just learn and go through it.

I like to share

There are times that there are some people around you, saying bad things which are not true about you, for some reason out of greed and jealousy. You were backstabbed and that gossips start to degrade your reputation. You are a victim of circumstances, and most of the time, you are the scapegoat. This misfortune goes on and on, until you asked yourself, when is this going to end? Why is God not helping me? I prayed so hard every night. I have been a good person my whole life, and this is what I received in return? What happen to the bad ones? Why are they enjoying a happy lavish life of the rich and famous?

You are angry, frustrated, sad, and disappointed and that you take the whole blame upon yourself. Your emotion starts to take control of your rational. You thought of running away or quitting are the best solution. Unable to suppress and release your problems and disappointment in life, you unleashed your anger to people who cared for you. For you know that they don’t fight back. Little you know, you are drifting away from the very people who could support you. Some chose to live that miserable life by running away and making a new life. Some chose, live with anger without realizing the cause and effect and most have no choice but to go through it each and everyday of their life. And some take their toll by ending this miserable life by means, against God’s will.

You and I do not live this world alone. There many people in this world, of different races, ethnics, religions and colours, share this world; people of different shape and sizes, language, cultures and values. There are also people of different perspective, characteristics, unique behaviour and habits. You and I are one of them. I have my own unique. Though we speak the same language and eat the same food and of the same countrymen, but I am unique. You and I are not the same, I am unique, and so do you. It’s like fingerprints, we do not have the same fingerprints. We do however share common characteristics such as laughing when listening to jokes or eat when we are hungry. But you and I do not share the same idea that appears in our head. Uniquely, our subconscious mind we owned it, and we don’t share it

When I see the letter “A” I could see it in a different picture in my head. A letter “A” depicts more than just an alphabet to me. An “A” is like a symbol to me, associates to someone and in resemblance to his or her initials. But to you, an “A” is just a letter “A” or a symbolic object associated to a piece of art. And vice versa.

Both of us can only express our view, but we can’t change of what we are made of, because you and I are unique in many different ways. It’s a trademark. Be grateful for what you and I can change and tolerate what we both cannot.

Despite so, I have to tell you this secret. For you and I know what is good and what is wrong. It’s our commonsense. Otherwise, it would have been called nonsense if both of us cannot sense. I will always try change the wrong in me and I will constantly to tell you what wrong you’ve done to me. For I am unique and so do you. But if you condemned me for you don’t have the uniqueness that I have. I am sorry, I forgive you. For God has given me this great gift. God may not give you for you have the good things in this world, and for some reason you may have a different kind of uniqueness and please don’t condemned me, God work in His own mysterious way.


By condemning me, you are condemning God’s work. Can you see the picture? If you get rid of your greed and selfishness and worldly richness maybe you’ll see. Or maybe not

You and I are created in one being. We were born to this earth with reason. Whatever it is, you got to look into the mirror and ask yourself. Why am I here? Whatever difference we have, we all have the same goal. Do you know what it is?

I have found mine. Have you found yours?

Disclaimer

To Whom It May Concern

Truth hurts, Lies makes you happy. Which one would u like to hear? the truth or the lies? Greedy and selfish people like you, loves to hear lies and enjoy tellin lies as much as you enjoy making mockery of everyone else.

Go and look yourself into the mirror and see, if u are a true reflection of urself. dun be so cocky my friend. you dun know what r u gettin into. I try to stop u from doing all these, and that's the best that i could. if ur ignorant and ego overwhelmed u, so it be. i cant change for what u are. i am just doing my part and that's it, 'm done. the rest, i leave it to the merciful One. i warned you that good things dont last, bad things will come too.

To the selfish and the greedies

The Turning Point

It takes courage to face such challenges in life. Its hard to balance, but if you tried hard enough and never give up to fate, you'll know that you have made choice. And that choice is the right one.

This turning point is my choice. The power of choice, the power of making it into reality is in my hands. I would back up and turn back now. A man gotta do what he has to do.

Its kinda absurd to have that feeling right now, especially when the lights are off, the streets are quiet and all with company of some lil droplets of water after the rain.

'm writing this now to commerate my high spirit. I'll let my spirit and motivation up, but keep it quietly low. I like this low profile thingy, but for now. Maybe that time hasnt come yet. But I can smell it.

I dun have to let u know when it comes, you will know yourself.

My first public performance

I never have the intention but because the important person was not there yet, so being an MC i have no choice but to buy some time. Enjoy it...

My masterpiece

My heart speaks
In this midst of misty and misery,Gloomy as it see like a land with no place to be, i stretch forth my palms grasping the Heaven's dew above me,Descending as it binge from this grasps and cease beneath,Gradually as it slump and echoes a language of thrift.Never my compassion hence speak intuitive,Symbol of times of yore and signs of this attendance,Painted skies begin to fade its belief,That glow is a canvas of my sensation.What amble as i gape afar beyond this horizon?Lights shine ceaselessly and never dies,i long thus occasion to be upon me,To have wings that fly; to have heart that throne,Forlorn, passion night and day that never sighs.i plight this sight only tonight,Never worry what die i fright,Forsake my life only One might, my terms, Is not a decree,Nevertheless an emblem of this attendance,This day eclipse, Of solitary existence,In this midst of misty and misery.

Back Then

Back then i was a disaster. I took a penknife from my dad's drawer, i cut the leather sofa in the living room one by one. and i tooked my sis's teddy bear and stuffed it inside the sofa so that nobody can find it. Ridiculous it may sound, but that was me. What was in my head that time?!

I love superman. I climbed up onto my dad's drawer and threw the teddy bear up into the air and jumped at the same time to save the bear from falling down to the ground. I landed face first and tore my lower lips about half an inch. I yelled and screamed and the whole world listen. I was sent to the general hosp, and got 3 stiches. I was so freaking terrified with the needle and that i screamed louder. The whole level including 1st and 2nd floor listen!

From that day onwards, i knew i cant be superman

That's me

Rainy Day

G'd morning. Its raining hard in KK right now after a long drought. Gotta do some last minute task for end month. Hate it so much, but hey, that's life.

i'll be right back...

Down the memory lane

'm the one squatting down in the first row on the left. Secondary school time was a memorable one.

Photo taken in 1995, the last day of class of form 5. It was sad saying goodbye to all friends at the time.

Down the memory lane

That's me, with my first Fokker 50. I wasnt sure what 'm doin at that time, but i do remember this photo was taken after taken my lunch.

About Me

Well, what can i say. This blog is about me and none others. Its cool to talk about yourself in your own page. Free to talk about craps to who is willing to listen and share their thoughts at the same time.

I was born in Sarawak in a small minority group in Baram river, known as Lakiput. Lakiput is a small tribe from a larger race called the Kenyah.

i used to live a life as a jungle or kampung boy. Playing with crickets, chasing after chickens, fish netting, and wild boar hunting. I also remember that i ever swam in Baram river and some places in that river notoriously filled with crocodiles. And i wasnt scared bcos i was very young. I was a kid. A kid does not know anything more except than havin fun.

This remind me of my childhood time. I was timid. Hyperactive, naugthy and playful. I was very adventurous. After my dad got a job in Kuching, we moved from Marudi, to Kuching where we stayed in Everbright Park. My siblings and i received our first primary education in a private school called Sunny Hill School Kuching and that is where my life truly begins. I was young, but i sense the environment around, and i that my senses are teaching me. Today, I understand and i remembered well, i can even smell that moments in life where the whole thing begin and that have shaped me to who i am today.

Me

I have been tellin myself to start blogging 3 years ago. I had a lot to write and to express, but I just dont have the time to do yet. Today, I think I have a lot to share...

The past is not for me to look back, but to remind me the mistakes, the right choice, the good times and the bad that I had been making and gone through. I felt that, 'm gonna write the past as a start for my blog before 'm gonna talk more on my present day and what i think of the future.

Anyway, here goes!~
