Failure, by itself, is bad; You do not need anything worse
Success give you the catalyst to move forward, without which life's a drag
The journey is not about the distance traveled but about a harmonious, least resistant path
Challenges can be expected along the way but most would have been anticipated
Success breeds further successes
The once busy waterway was cleaned up
No sampans, tongkangs and TwaKows were allowed except for reintroduced touristy tongkangs plying the Singapore River
The river mouth was blocked by a barrage to capture & store the water
Nice, restored shophouses now doubled as F&B outlets
Renewed grandly designed banks' buildings flanked the river
If this isn't success, what is? The city facade was restored mightily but it's Soul was lost
Can success be measured in bricks & mortars? A lifeless city is not unlike a ghost-city of sorts
Success is not just about money & materials supplements
It's a failure if, & when, the larger populace (citizens) suffer in silence & the Gini-Coefficient widens
The increasing costliness of the sunny island do not help
I guess, commoners, like me, just like to lead a simple life; affordable, less crowded, friendly neighborhoods & a freedom of expression
We must be allowed to speak our mind without fear or favor
No Laws are allowed to intrude into our private lives
That's a simple, sustainable, successful and wholesome life
It guards the river of flowing wealth
The beak points to the engorged belly of the carp
There are ample spaces for all to stroll leisurely
When the tide is high, the lake-like view is complete
The water-filled river becomes a bulged-up wallet
Appreciate the serenity, the peace, the calm
Don't think of "what's worse than failures"! Its bad enough to fail
Look at everything with a tinge of positiveness
Nothing lasts forever & enjoy every moments
