Thought for the Day

And this is for especially people who see a crime victim and do not do anything, hello, get yourself righted Malaysia!

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thought of the Day

To be blind is bad,

but worse is to have eyes and not see.

 - Helen Keller

The sound of wings

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things;
Knows not the livid loneliness of fear;
Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear

 - Amelia Earhart 
(1897-1937),
American aviator, 1st woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean

Thought for the Day

Looks like I'm headed for another career change in 2012.
Lesson learnt: Do NOT be a minority shareholder unless you're comfortable with NO control of the company's direction.
Whatever I choose to do, or wherever I'm going, I'm going to need more than just courage. But nothing can be done without guts.


Courage is the greatest of all the virtues.
Because if you haven't courage,
you may not have an opportunity to use any of the others.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Thought for the day

To will and not to do when there is opportunity,
is in reality not to will;
and to love what is good and not to do it,
when it is possible,
is in reality not to love it.

Here's to the crazy ones

UPDATE: 25/08/2011. JUST HEARD THAT JOBS RESIGNED FROM APPLE.
WE'LL MISS YOU, STEVIE. YOU WERE ALWAYS THE SPECIAL ONE.


Got this from a friend. Great quote from Jobs.

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

 -- Steve Jobs

Thought for the Day

Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous

"No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not knock those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself."

However good you may be you have faults; however dull you may be you can find out what some of them are, and however slight they may be you had better make some-not too painful, but patient efforts to get rid of them.


-- John Ruskin

Thought of the Day

It takes a great deal of boldness mixed with a vast deal of caution to acquire a great fortune; but then it takes ten times as much wit to keep it after you have got it as it took you to make it.

Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.

Quote of the Day

You are not happy because you are well.

You are well because you are happy.

You are not depressed because trouble has come to you, but trouble has come to you because you are depressed.

You can change your thoughts and feelings, and then the outer things will come to correspond,

and indeed there is no other way of working.



-- Emmet Fox

Quote of the Day

To find a fault is easy; to do better may be difficult.

- Plutarch

Thought for the day

The world is a thing that a man must learn to despise, and even to neglect, before he can learn to reverence it, and work in it and for it.


-- Thomas Carlyle
