What Are You Grateful For?

It was the wettest New Year's Eve I could remember. Even as the New Year dawned on us, nothing has really changed has it? I just wanted to remember what I ate and nothing, not even the weather is allowed  to dampen my spirit.  Wonderful Eggs Benedict and  Pork Cheek. I saw the light's reflection of a colourful year ahead and we should spread the joy and we are going to say as the plate suggests: "What a spread!" I saw something on the wall for 2018 - It says: ''Your wings already exist. All you have to do is fly!" I should have posed in front of those wings except for someone sitting there that looked less angelic. Oops! We should never be self righteous. Something  we should be acutely aware of for 2018.  Singapore is getting more happening. The wild life I mean. We have a very cold period here and one day may have our very own winter. By then, you can flaunt your winter fashion wear. Ev...

Empathy And Gratitude

Everybody at one time or another complained about their bosses as good bosses and really great leaders are a rare breed. Most people when they become bosses are blind to their own faults. So you get people getting their maids or domestic helpers to wash their cars, some during weekends, some actually have a few cars and others have to have their cars washed  twice a day - before they left for work and after they returned, sometimes late into the night. Then we have people obsessed with clean and clear windows yet their Microsoft version are cluttered and dirty. How many more maids need to fall to their death before something is done? Can the Ministry introduce some laws and enforce them? Can employers do something on their own rather than always waiting for the Government to lead? Can the Town Councils or Estate Management do some periodical cleaning of the facade? I am going to invent "Windows 101" that can slide inwards so that you can do the cleaning inside. When this ...

Gratitude What prompted me to write this? I spoke to some folks whom seemed bitter about ungrateful people because they have helped these people in the past and yet these same people whom they have helped has turned around and bit them causing them hurt and hardship. It is almost like a sense of betrayal isn't it? This is not new isn't it? After such an experience, those affected by people with ingratitude vowed never to help others. Normal isn't it? When anyone is bitter or in anger. I will try to assuage, urge calm and balance here because people who are not grateful or would betray do not print these words on their foreheads. There are mosquitoes and houseflies but there will always be butterflies and dragonflies. We can't say we want to go out and kill everything that flies. For the many trials and tribulations we go through, there are many other wonderful people to discover. If we behave like them, then we become like them and are no better. A Grateful H...

Inner Peace 5 - Attack of The Clones

If you are vain enough or think highly enough of yourself, would you clone yourself? Your Mind & Wisdom Your world is entirely what you choose to make it, whether one live a life of despair devoid of hope or one that scale heights of success, the choice is entirely yours. When you are positive refusing anything negative to enter your mind, you unleash a powerful force to achieve a fulfilling life - love, friendship, health and victorious life. If you continue to do exactly the same things, you get the same results in life.  When you control your mind, you take charge of your life. You can control your desires, thoughts, emotions and feelings towards a direction you choose. You could channel your energy and time in pursuits of excellence in certain useful things or fritter your time away in fruitless activities. Everyone has 24 hours a day and since your mind belongs to you, you may choose to do things with a constructive purpose or you use it for futile, useless, ...
