Harness enthusiasm as your shield against negativity!
In our lives, we will make changes and shift. I’ve just made plans to shift out from my present apartment to a bigger one, because I think I value space a lot. Not only did I find a space, I encountered a great place today. If I can get my hands on a picture, I’ll [...]
Ususally in life, we ask for guarantees. Funny thing is that we ask for it knowing that there really is no guarantee. A manufacturer’s guarantee does not ensure that there is no breakdown, it’s merely a warranty that they will replace it if their machine is faulty. That’s not a guarantee.

I’ve met a number of different people and come to see that many of them have a different sense of the world. For instance, I just met someone who is diligent in work, but has a sad interior. Yet, I’ve found someone also recently who has a happy exterior but doesn’t do work very well. [...]

I realized over the years that I’d grown a little more cynical. Strange, but true. I used to be very optimistic. Probably part of my own training that got me there. But somewhere, I started to get involved in the ‘what if’ club, where fear and worry are the primary drivers of life. I do [...]
I read in the news about the students from Victoria and Siglap in a soccer match that turned violent. The guy in Siglap got angry after sliding tackle from the VS guy (that led to a penalty, mind you), and promptly went up and socked the VS guy in the face. Ok, first thoughts, that isn’t [...]
Here’s a quote I’d like to share with you.
“I was screwed up. I was 32 before I decided to get my act together… then I made a choice. Business before pleasure. From then on business became pleasurable.”
The above quote was made by John Carlton at the Big Seminar, by Armand Morin. I find that this [...]
