I certainly hope the slogan shall come to fruition in our beloved SG and I like the word "Loving". Loving means being affectionate, expressing love or kindness. Love and kindness are actually very big words that are expressed in thoughts, words and action. It is simple and yet difficult and often may not be compatible with modern busy lives. Here is Scorpions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uNyPefjS88 There was a time we used to golf where there were no losers because all winnings go to the ST School Pocket Fund. This time it was different as our son volunteered. We came by to show our approval and thumbs up for him and  his friends! Besides, you get to play with Lego toys. Planting one at the stadium and bringing home another. Then I went down to a Flea Market as I saw an old friend posting it on facebook but we were caught in a thunder storm just earlier. We came to the very nice "Wheels And Wieners" at 25-A Perak Road. He...

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 ...

Continued from...What Do You Value?... http://gforce-guru.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-do-you-value.html A friend responded to my article on "What Do You Value?" indicating what was thought to be important. Then I replied: "If you are “sincere”, why don’t you have “empathy” and “honestly” give me some strokes with “open-mindedness”? “Forgive” me for asking but you need to show “kindness” and “fairness’ to be a “principled” person. Have the “courage” to discharge “justice” and I will be “grateful”! This way, you will begin to “appreciate beauty and excellence” and develop a healthy “curiosity” and “spirituality” to understand why I have this “energy” to “humour” you. Thank you for your “perseverance” in my “creativity” and when paying me after giving strokes please exercise “self-control”. Now, let's talk about kindness. Kindness is a state of act of being kind and this is always marked with a charitable or good and pleasant disposition. Kindness is a great virtue...

Make Peace Not War As much as it is possible, be on good terms with everyone but at the same time knowing you can never please everyone. Never hit out at anbody at first for it may be a simple misunderstanding or misinterpretation. In other words, do not hurt anyone unless you are very sure that someone needs to be sent to the cleaners or have their faces re-arranged. Be prepared for some unreasonable remarks or action said or taken against you maybe even a couple of blow and at the right time when the facts are out it is never too late to go for the jugular.  You know exactly what I mean when you watch Rocky usually being portrayed as the underdog and severely punished before he lashed out furiously and victoriously. It's like a good military doctrine which exudes confidence being a able to take at least a blow first before retaliating. After taking this unnecessary and aggressive attacks, retaliation, defence and counter-attacks must be swift and decisive. Take no pri...
