Emotions know no boundaries...
When you are angry, walk away
Never reply when provoked; nothing good can come out of it
Finish your draft reply, saved it and re-visit it a day or two later; it will save you alot of agony trying to do damage control
A gambler will bet his fortune, including his last dollar
A garbled mind cannot reason so how can it ever win? A fool and his money will soon part
A dead drunk may find his way home but he will never know how he manage to get home nor which route he has taken
In a quarrel, nobody speaks well of the other party
If you can separate the 'goodness' and doubts in the other party, a quarrel is as remote as finding the needle in the haystack
Why are divorces bitter and marriages sweet? When marrying, you are blinded by love. When divorcing, you are all rage... alas!
If you don't marry, how to divorce
If you don't taste sweetness, you can't tell what's bitter
When the heart rules, its emotion multiplied
When the brain rules, its logic ad infinitum
There is no Right or Wrong answers and reactions
You just have to be prepared for, and to bear, the consequences of your actions ... and the reactions
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind - Buddha
Never get Mad, get Even

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions"
Man proposes; GOD disposes...
Nuclear power is clean and lasting but when it blow its top, it maims and kills
Consumerism stirs demand but Consumer Credit creates debts
Immediate gratification is satisfaction numero uno but wastes and side-effects are seldom thought through
Biofuels are ecofriendly but huge tracks of land and forests are cleared to plant the (raw material) supplies, making scarce of land that plant edibles
Disposables are useful but wasteful
Computerisation supposedly saves trees but scores of records are printed and safely stored
You use your Youth to pursue wealth and your wealth to pursue health
Youthful capital is expended to built a nest but most end up with the 'empty nest' syndrome
The heart drives a good intention, the brain is poisoned with greed and selfishness, hence Society perishes

Survival Of The Fittest, is this what we want?
I am not asking for handouts but as a matter of evolution and aging, most remain as 'fit as fiddle', able and capable whilst some aged, fall ill and become dependent.
Its a natural progression and definitely nobody's fault.
The young are dynamic, energetic, work hard, oblige the Laws and Regulations to serve the country and the economically able contributes to the national coffers in the form of taxes.
Subsidiary contributions come from GST, indirect taxes and other schemes in place.
All policies, likewise Communism, Capitalism or Socialism, when taken to extreme will have adverse ill-effects. It is imperative that constant monitoring, review, re-evaluation and adjustments be made to make them relevant. Some re-tooling is necessary in the following:
1. Declining birthrate - The reality is that when the females are more educated, they are economically more mobile and independent and having more babies become secondary as time become scarce. You cannot turn time backwards nor forbid them to better and higher education.
Make medical and education free for children. In Dan Ariely "Predictably Irrational", it is empirically proven that charging cheaper does not always entice result against charging nothing at all, that is, when things are given free, the desired result is almost certain. This lessen the pressures in child upbringing yet produced a desired result.
2. Rising property prices - I agree its a function of demand and supply but the earlier benevolent practice of making affordable HDB homes available to first time, newly weds should continue. How can HDB prices be affordable if the tender for land is at or near market prices. If the cost of the factor of production is high, the end product has to be priced higher.
Make land available for low-cost (doesn't mean low class) public housing for first time, newly wed couples. A vibrant enclave can sprout out of this new town, laden with energetic, care free (read 'stress free') and ideals/ideas- filled citizens to experiment and create a world of their own base on their inspirations and forethoughts. Old and/or existing solutions cannot be applied; if it worked, the problem would not have existed!
3. Challenges from foreign workers and talents - When there is a sudden jump (from 3mil to 5mil) in population in a short period of time, problems inevitably arise. Humans are emotional animals and it takes awhile to adjust to changing environment. There will always some pockets of resistant and resentment especially those who find difficulties adjusting. Do not dismiss them as minority nor troublemakers. They have a belonging and a stake in the motherland too.
When animals in the wild find their territory encroached, they fight back. When humans find their territory infringed, they try to adapt. But, like in all society, some needed help to adjust.
It is also natural that when migrant workers/talents lay roots, they prefer people of their 'same kind'. Inevitably, some jobs will be given to their 'same kind' although there are relevantly qualified locals. These are not unfounded screams of the locals; it is a reflection that the societal fibres is under stress and snapping. Coping with changes can be scary at times.
Slowing down the intake of foreigners is only a fractional solution. There is a need to manage and prioritise employment. This is not protectionism neither is it a sign that we are weaklings! It is to demonstrate , in kind and in action, that ALL citizens' concerns are addressed and resolved first before others. Like any wholesome family, family members' well being come first; who wouldn't?
4. Greying population - Aging is as natural as day and night and it will happen to all; Japan, China, Singapore and others. Why call an aging population the 'silver tsunami' or equates aging to some negative pixel or likening it to a burden to society?
The elderly have contributed to the country and society, in one way or another, be it taxes, in kind or efforts, during their 'youthful' and healthy years. If nothing else, the elder countrymen have collective wisdom and experiences to share with their younger fellowmen.
It is my suggestion that the elders need to be taken care of (if not capable of taking care of themselves) and provided for in tax allowances (free from direct taxes if still gainfully employed) and enjoys free medical treatment. It is not to be viewed as welfare nor sympathy. It is to show appreciation and comradeship for their years of being with their motherland, for the better or worse. Will you leave your aged parents to weather in the wild? Filial piety extends to the State too.
Some may look at above as welfarism or with negative vibes, but allow me to say this; "the State and Society have roles to play and taking care of our fellowmen is not a choice but a necessity. If our fellowmen is as disposable as the plastic cup, then sooner, rather than later, we will disintegrate and disappear".
I have faith in our country and our leaders and I believe our fellowmen can distinguish between the 'empty promisor' and the 'deliverer'. Thinking out of the box is something, actioning it is quite another.
In closing, allow me to share this statement; "A State must act like a knife(刀), with the sharp end facing outwards and not like a sword(剑), cutting both sides".

Stockmarket & Calamities
Long after we are gone, Capital markets will still be around...alive and kicking
If you choose to change, you manage Providence
If Fate changes you, life is alittle more uncertain, not necessarily more miserable
Capitalism fuels stockmarket and materialism fuels consumption
Growth and the anticipation of better times spurs consumers demand whereas wars, calamities and social disorders cap the binge
Did the earthquake and tsunami cause the drop in stockmarket? Probably, but it is not a direct causation; it accelerate the corrective phase of an otherwise slow lengthy process
Events like 9/11, Chernobyl and Gulf wars are not unlike natural disasters
After the destruction and damages, come rebuilding, rehabilitation and growth. Corrections are necessary pixels that adjust for, and capture reality of life. . . since the dawn of mankind, Man has always been predictably irrational
It will take sometime to assess the extent of damages of recent time; the floods in Australia, earthquakes in New Zealand, Yunnan and Japan, social disorders in Middle-East ... Markets - insurance, equities, bonds, property - will adjust for/to the events
It is naive to think that Man will be rational and moderate in actions
History is filled with examples of great nations and civilizations rebooting and 'self-destruct' and starting with a new lease of life, not necessarily bad though
Boom, bust, recovery is as normal as Day & Night
Mis-alignment of economies, greed, suspicion, selfishness, superior self-worthiness and 'to each his own' prevented markets from functioning efficiently, sanely and in an orderly manner
Between now and the next couple of months, market will factor in above and adjust
For those who have exited the markets around November 2010 or about February 2011, well done and a well deserved 'rest'
For those who are licking their wounds, be well, alive and be prepared when the corrective phase ebbs
A Fool And His Money Will Soon Part
If luck is a market order, then being prepared is definitive
If you choose to change, you manage Providence
If Fate changes you, life is alittle more uncertain, not necessarily more miserable

What's done, cannot be undone
But, it can be improved, remedied, altered or tempered ...
When Mother Nature roars, the earth shakes
All the intelligent planning, precautions, calculations and smartness in/of humans cannot match nor anticipate Mother Nature prowess and intent
Man can manage and anticipate all things artificial and thought-out by fellowmen
If land is limited, we built upwards
If the train is crowded, we increase the frequency of trips and use larger trains
If the road system is inadequate, we built underground, overhead, multiple rings and layers
If water is scarce, we 'manufacture' and recycle
If prices of factors of production go up, if 'importable', we import
Problems can be solved
Time is the essence
Foreign workers, foreign talents, foreign investments... foreign wealth - All are welcome
We can have them, do away with them or restrict their flow
Whether its Capitalism, Communism or Socialism, each is as distasteful as the next at extremes
When leaders care and share, its harmony
When leaders share but don't care, its discord and brews suspicion and disunity
When leaders grab all and crumbs are shared amongst all, change is overdue
All religious beliefs teach good
The World is big enough for all to share; We (all) pass this place (Earth) but once
Greed may finds you rich but it will never find you happiness
Help your fellowmen and share
Live healthily and happily, today and always
Death the leveller; be it King, pauper or layman
The World is not made for you and/or me
Its made for us/All... our roles may be different, our destination is always the same... from dusts to dusts
The rich cannot sleep well if surrounded by poor
The poor cannot sleep if hungry
The famous cannot enjoy fame if there is disharmony and social unrest
Each has a role, the decider is Fate, Providence and/or, if you belief, GOD

What's Sufficient & What's Luxurious?
Man Will Never Have Enough Of ...
We eat to live and not live to eat
Enjoying food is not a sin; gluttony is
When you pay, how much is too much? Is there a limit that above which the person will turn down your payment and do it just as effectively and with unquestioned commitment
According to Dan Ariely, in his book Predictably Irrational, a person is more productive, if not as productive, compared to a paid person, when he helps/attempts a social issue. However, if payment is involved, the productivity varies according to the rewards.
Social norms almost always clash with market norms
If you pay your employee sufficiently, he is committed and motivated
If you pay him luxuriously, he is probably motivated more by money than his love for the job; the underlying fear that "if I commit an error, I may be asked to leave"! His motivation will shift from doing his work well to protecting his turf
When the poor spends on living, its 'every cents count'
When the rich spends, its fractional
Will the rich bothers about the poor? Less likely except for those whom they deem of use; the poor is a means to an end
Will those who are born with silver spoons empathise with the poor? Less likely
Not that they don't want but its like 'the soldiers in the trench and the General in his air-con office during Vietnam war'
How to relate and empathise? If the pay is good, the risk is minimal, the job is cosy and the position is respectful, it pays to indulge and shift responsibilities
Like the oft mentioned, "Its good to have a nuclear power plant so long as its not near my neighbourhood" ...
Everyone needs to be rewarded
Over-rewarding kills positive motivation and brews desertion of responsibilities; all else is a charade
If your maid is worth $500 and you pays her $3000, she will employ someone to do the job and slack!!!
Agree?
Money alone does not guarantee optimal results ... Dan Ariely

Be Encouraged
Back to the future...
The young hurries to grow
At mid-age you can only reminisce
When the sun set on us, we can only look back and take stock
Do all you can and all you want now
While the body is able and the mind capable
You must not wait until tomorrow to climb the mountain or to swim in the ocean
Like the lightning bolt hitting you, when your body fails, all possibilities become a greater challenge
When fortune smiles at you, make good and grow with it
Your parents are there to provide everything, you just need to excel in your studies; NO excuse for slacking
When your bosses trust and leave you to do a task, it's because he knows you can; incomplete work and half-commitment is self-destruction
Many ask for independence and freedom
But few accept responsibilities...omigosh
Luck is where preparation meets opportunity
Ask all that you want
Take responsibility for your action
The better tomorrow comes today if you are committed and take responsibility for your actions
The hard truth remains: you are responsible for all outcomes, like it or not
You can't plant apple seeds and expect durians! An action will cause a reaction -in short KAMA
A successful man never blame his tools
Go for it; if you fail today, make up and chase your dreams
One swallow does not make a summer
Do not let a single setback drowns you
Follow your heart and live your life to the fullest
Be it a mason, professional or a monk

My First Time
Everytime something happens to me for the first time, I was not prepared... like when I was born
You must have heard of, and say, many 'the first time I ...'
You will never be prepared for the first time; accept it!
The first time I lost, the first time I won, the first time I passed, the first time my heart stopped pumping, the first time my girlfriend/boyfriend left me, the first time I came out alive in a raging forest fire... the first time will never be the best neither will it be the last time
Life is a cycle, a 'lateral cycle'
From the beginning to the end
From birth to death... the only differences is volatility and
velocity of change
Nothing is constant
Do not let one defeat be the last nail on the coffin
One swallow does not make a summer
Success and failure have many 'first time'
Only life and death have ONE 'first time' each
Let your many 'first times' be a trail of successes and bundles of joy
幸运者也 幸福者也

Abundant Energy精神
Our Mind & body is capable of acts beyond your imagination ...
It is not why or when neither is it how
It is the Law of Nature that our body is able to regenerate itself, 'blast up' and be ready to swing into action
Its all in the Mind
The volcano erupts
The hurricane washes up the shores
The heat of drought shines mercilessly
Its pure Law of Nature and energy in action
Boredom, restlessness, negativity, lacking in direction and sailing aimlessly
Suicidal , sadness, self-pity, dreaming but not acting (it out) are effects of hollowness in Mind and body
When the Mind wanders, let it wander
Be focus when the wandering ends
Get up and work out the excesses and clears the 'slobes' and the stales in the bones
You can turn stale energy into high octane vibrancy
The charged-up Mind can moves mountain
If dying is no more a problem, nothing is
Give the best shot, do all that you wanted to do
Push the envelope, hit for the sky
The successes you gain will decimate your intent to die and transform your dreams into reality... simply because you believe YOU CAN
This is the power of Energy... Positive Energy
Mother Nature gives limitless energy ... a source I tap without GST, taxes and liabilities

The Shaky World
Before you act, think...
Revolution in Tunisia, Maburak steps down in Egypt; Yemen and Syria are rumoured to be next on the domino
Food prices are rising and income gaps are widening. The Economic panels in Davo differ on how the world will evolve but most are concerned with the income gap disparity
Bombing in Moscow's airport in the name of Independence @Chechen
Omigosh! uncertainty aplenty
Harsh winter, severe drought, flash floods happening simultaneously is posing quite a challenge to mankind
Wastes, excesses, 'use & throw' or disposable attitudes make rare resouces rarer
Money used to be the 'gold standard' but economic and military might undermines the real value of money; the value of money becomes relative and confidence is the name of the game
Only God knows!
Inflation is rising, food prices is rising
Cost of living is rising
There is simply too much uncertainty; rough and tough but not 'the end of the world'
Leave the worries behind as its a global problem
Worry is not the antidote nor cures
We need to adapt and change
We need to remain calm and be level minded to ride out the 'eye of the storm'
We cannot, neither can we afford to, be reckless
In this shaky world, copycat leaders, false prophets and con artists rife
Empty promises, stretched imaginations and underhand tactics bloom like weeds in the lakes
Nothing can come out of 'nothing'
A cohesive society
A 'homogenous' populace
Plus plentiful of commonsense - will make our lives less shaky in a shaky world
A Bird In Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush

New Start 新的一天
Whether rain or shine, fortune comes and goes...
Everyone hurries to make resolutions, change into new attire, dress in their best, make well-wishes, bury their past; if there is one good thing that comes from New Year is 'the starting is GOOD'!
Look at your fortune - http://shine.yahoo.com/page/2011-horoscope
Its good in every thoughts and from any angles. Whether you are a King or Pauper, the tycoon or beggar, rich or poor, leader or commoner... the Stars shine for you. And ONLY You
Be sure to ride the beginning of more good fortunes to come. If you can put everything bad, unbeareable, sad, indistinguish... for a/this moment, you can leave it and start anew
You can accept empty promises, you can complain until the cows come home, you wail and fill up the river but nothing good will come out of these... CHANGE - change the ways things are done, change yourself to fit the environment and to reap rewards and returns
Give yourself a chance that no one will - change -
You will have a better tomorrow
New year, new experiences
Good luck

strip off emotions & everything is the same... This time it's different. Sure, every time "it is different", not just this...
