the last breathe is the final...
What if I know or I'm told that my days are numbered? Surprise, reject, accept or resigned...
Being born and dying is never a choice
You can't choose when to come and to which family and you can's stay a day more if it's time to go
You arrive wailing and when you leave, others wail
We arrive naked and return fairly naked but clothe by those sending you off
They sing birthday hymns on arrival as they'd sing religious hymns on departure
Who's GOD or that Godly person that many refer to? He is nothing more but a "feelings of sorts"
But, MAN needs someone to hold his hands in uncertain times - the longings for comfort
Man need GOD but no Man, or few, has seen GOD
Strangely, Man longed to go to Heaven & avoid Hell
But, why not live a heavenly life on Earth than to hope to go to heaven; it may not exist at all
Why make living on Earth hell (or hellish) and try to avoid Hell on your passing? There is a choice
Live your best when others live worse
No two person will be equally happy even if their wealth are equal
I met a friend, in the 60s, walking with a limp, carrying a plastic bag, looks happy but shag & aged
He is worth at least s$500m; no mistake
I cannot say "he is not unhappy" but I can safely say he has aged alot and his smile is much less radiant
He has everything many people want; family, big houses, cars, money...but few friends
I can only guess, as we aged, friends and companions are important ...a few good, genuine friends
I have few regrets if I know I am dying or will die soon
Fear? Maybe, but do I have a choice? Guess not, but my will to live is my extension licence
Accept? Acceptance is when the Mind submits to the AlMighty GOD; someone no one has seen
Resigned to Fate? When you have no choice, there is really no point resisting
Going with the flow makes leaving easier and smoother
Maybe, you find a better abode upon departure - nobody knows
Frankly, it is not about the comings and going; it is the quality of living
I have been there, done that 酸甜苦辣
My future is unknown albeit comfortable with tinglings of disruptions from time to time
It pains me that the more I devote time and resources, the more likely it will frustrate me
Guess, when there is no expectations, there is no disappointments
But, laughing it away is my antidote and humour is my defence
Yes, I do crack from time to time but i metamorphose into recovery
Deep inside me, I do not want to know I am dying or will die soon
I'd rather flicker out like a sudden outage
Do I have a choice? Steve Jobs has everything in the world but he was made aware of his mortality
Nobody goes off happily and willingly; at least not all
I guess knowing or not knowing is also "not a choice"
Come whatever may
Do whatever fits
For there is never a certainty on Earth
Everything is variable
When the bell rings, the class ends

Patience
rushing is 'walking into more uncertainties'...
Patience is valueless
Although patience can be taught and learnt but few are able to master it
The need to stay cool, calm and unmoved in adversity is a test of the Soul, not physical
Many cool-cucumbers cracked during trying times
It is not merely about holding back but the desire to exact an immediate change causes the spins
You need nine months to 'make' a baby & you can't make love to 9 women and gets a baby tomorrow
Solutions lie within the problem & focusing on the problem only magnify the issue
When anxieties creep in, anarchy follows
No one is any wiser without a sound, stable & calm mind
All thing passes like day and night
The good passes faster as you indulge while the bad passes slower as you sulk
You can't pick ideal solutions in chaos
You must live one realm above the rest to decipher the truth from the myths
Some say the paths to Hell is paved with gold
Why bother to wait to enjoy heaven when you lived in 'Hell on Earth'? Make your earthly life heavenly & enjoy the most while you are alive
Time is the best friend
Patience is the best antidote
And, you are the best practitioner
With grit, the mind stabilizes & the brain works wonders
The decision to do (YES), not to do (NO) or to shelf (KIV) ...are all solutions
In a war, you need to survive
In famine, you withstand hunger & eat to live
In corporate retrenchments, you continue to perform but lie low
In poverty, you live with dignity and honesty
In mourning, you allow yourself private spaces to 'live out the pains and miseries'
Patience is not procrastination
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
Chasing the solutions are more important than looking for the 'fall guy'
When the situation is restored and running, you have a choice to seek out the problem kid
By then, it may have becomes irrelevant
Use your energy and efforts for positive pursuits
Patience is an art
I took some minutes to capture this sunset
It's not as if I can move the sun forward & drop
it into the horizon
And I let the sun sets on me
Impatience can cause untold damages
The future is as certain as your decision
When the rice is cook, you cannot find grains
Patience is a virtue
The Natural Order of Nature cannot be expedited
The form shall manifest only after the time is due
天时地利人和
Many want instant gratification
The best time to plant a seed is ten years ago
The best time to eat the fruit is today if you have planted & done your part
Whatever works
Patience gives the extended mileage
With grit and patience, the Soul conquers new frontiers
Patience is valueless
Although patience can be taught and learnt but few are able to master it

Victory Tastes Sweetest
sweat it out ...
Tears, sweat, hunger and blood are little sacrifices toward victory
Success is 99% sweat & 1% luck
Well, not really...but luck is still dominant - ask the losers
It is easy to cheer the boxer, the runner or the political candidate in the heat of the events
But, few will understand the efforts, 'defeats' and sweat that went through
Nobody starts with a 'defeat' in mind but it is the believe in yourself & grit that push forward
In a short 1 hour conversation over drinks, a friend asked me repeatedly "so what have you achieved" with all your efforts thrown in? I calmly said "not much but ..."
I have three houses and two cars and he...still paying for his public apartment - our age is not too far apart
When you keep doubting yourself, how can you ever achieve? The start point is hollow
With hopes & grit, the journey is a little easier
With a positive mind, the journey becomes a breeze
Sure, we may meet dusts storms and gusty winds but never waver
Nobody knows what success is until you achieve your goal - the trophy does change over time
When the kid gets his ice-cream, when he graduates from pre-school - these means nothing but are achievements in their own right
When the man gets a job & when he gets promoted - these meant alot
When the woman marries, she wins her preferred best man & he is "her everything in her world"
When he dies and he receives a proper decent burial, he quietly leaves with dignity
Simple victories, different feelings
The best time to plant a tree is now & the best time to long for the/it's fruits was 10 years into the future; You cannot have the fruits by planting a seed today
Just like it takes nine months to get a baby & it doesn't mean you impregnate 9 women today and the baby arrives tomorrow
The pupa cracks to allow the butterfly to evolve; a natural drying of its wings allow it to fly & to add color and beautify the garden
If you break the pupa and help to remove the butterfly, it becomes incapacitated and dies
Nature has her methods to perfection - time
Many can drive but few can be a F-1 driver
Many can be fathers but few can be an 'ideal' dad
The best are nurtured over time
There is no need to complain and sulk after defeats as success is the best antidote
When the chips are low, lie low, rejuvenate, refresh, relearn and unlearn
Be ready & pounce when opportunity abounds again
Opportunities must be acted upon and crystalized
There are many geniuses but few successful ones
If only you change, nothing changes, victory included
Tears, sweat, hunger and blood are little sacrifices toward victory
Success is 99% sweat & 1% luck
Well, not really...but luck is still dominant - ask the losers
It is easy to cheer the boxer, the runner or the political candidate in the heat of the events

You Just Cannot Be Too Trusting
what's more painful than being betrayed...
The saddest thing about betrayal is it never comes from your enemies
And, betrayals have a way of repeating itself by sponging on the weakness of your heart
防人之心不可无 害人之心不可有
However you thought that you were prepared, the perpetrator seemed to be able to pry into your weaknesses, that is, kindness
I have been a victim as I have witnessed many victims; not for lack of IQ but simply weak at heart
The best defence is attack
每个人要有底线
When hit by scam, deception or simply 'conned', it is best to hit back hard
But, how many will or can? More often than not, it's not worth hitting back
Many believe that someone else will serves the karma but...
Are you any happier that the scammer, con-artist or cheats meet a painful death? No, whatever for
Everyone will die some day and their mode of exit is destine
Why should a painful, suffering death be a happy occasion lest to exchange for a bigger, personal hurt
The victims gain nothing
Stab the body and it heals, but injure the heart and the wound lasts a lifetime -
Trusting someone over money is the silliest act yet it's as common as commonsense
Spending time to aid another who never value your assistance is a lost cause
Physical losses are temporary but emotional losses are etched for life
Time lost to a lost cause can never be recovered
Not all losses can be cut short
Marriage, electing a politician, signing a contractual obligation...take a painfully long time to dissolve
It's not the length of time to expiration but the draining emotion that saps the Soul
Walk away, walk far, far away and don't ever look back
When trust is gone, any other word becomes a passing - let it pass
I am still trying to be ungullible
But, I know, deep inside me, I have weak heart
Nevertheless, I will hit back hard the next time
That's what I say now...will I? Haha, it is not in me nor my character to be vengeful
Guess, until then...

The Servant & The Master
the pains of having to rebel...
Most commoners are happy to go about doing their daily chores and making their livelihoods
Nobody want to rock the boat and mess up the environment to make living economically impossible
The politics of the day is left to the few
Politicians are potentially history-makers, for the better or the worse
Robert Gabriel Mugabe was a Zimbabwean revolutionary and politician who served as prime minister of Zimbabwe
He was a hero until almost absolute power turned him a dictator
José Alberto "Pepe" Mujica Cordano, president, Uraguay, has been described as "the world's humblest head of state" due to his austere lifestyle and his donation of around 90 percent of his $12,000 monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs
Ferdinand Marcos, president, Philippines, ruled a rising economy but ended being branded the most corrupted, extravagance and brutal regime
History remembers the most hated and the most loved leaders
Winners get to write history
Leaders must care and share & 'sacrifice' for his/her people
Man will die for their leaders because of trust and confidence
Of course, it's country before self...taxing, milking and squeezing every drop in the name of "preparing for the future" is totally absurd
How do you save when you are hardly able to live? A hungry man is an angry man
The world’s richest people have seen their share of the globe’s total wealth increase from 42.5% at the height of the 2008 financial crisis to 50.1% in 2017, or $140tn (£106tn), according to Credit Suisse’s global wealth report published on Tuesday. The globe’s richest 1% own half the world’s wealth (report - 2017)
The world's poor has little to none to eat because the rich compounded wastages
Trickle down economics do not help the poor
Many anarchy, revolutionaries and rebellions occur after years of suppression; it's an implosion
The people can take the punches but like all things, the elasticity has limit
It is not why did it happen but when...
Why did the HKers take to the streets and still refused to stop? Why did the Malaysians voted for a change? Why did UK opt to leave the EU?
There is a limit to poverty-sharing; it is the sharing of misfortunes, not prosperity
Strangely, the wealthy, famous and powerful somehow forgot the meaning of "sharing"
You can take more but you cannot take all
The Arab Spring exploded over a minor incident ; the/a tiny match can burn a forest
Nobody wants anarchy
Nobody seeks to destroy a peaceful environment
But, the evil will inevitably light the fuse of oppression and suppression
Self-destruction comes after reasons are thrown out of the windows
There is no reasons in an emotional implosion
Let us keep the lights of hope and peace burning
....before the light burnt out
Who is the servant and who is the master cannot be calibrated; it is the natural order of living

Money & Cheese Are Equally Stink
tearing may not be that bad afterall ...
Shedding tears lighten the heart
Whoever said that Man cannot tears? It's a human way of washing away sorrows & unpleasantness
It is unlikely that there is no sorrows in life
The loss of a love one, reputation, job, belongings or something dear that went missing - burns
But, if you cannot let go, you'd be forever burdened
Let today's problem stay...tomorrow is (re)fresh
There is no time to carry the weight of unhappiness and bitterness
Defeats and failures are just the opposite of winnings and success
Sometimes, failure prevent further and greater disasters & trappings ahead of you
Not doing may not be the worse
Two seemingly perfect persons may get together and settle down but as interests part so will the heart
At times, it's familiarity that breeds contempt
Whatever you set out to achieve; GO! Strike with a single mind and inexhaustive efforts
There is no time to look back and little room for regrets
If you don't try hard enough and dig in more adventures, you may have no stories to tell by old age
How you fail and how you succeed are equally educational to any newbies
Better to have "been there, done that" than to look back with regrets & hollow recalls
Tomorrow is never promised; do it now, today
This year has slightly more than three months to go; a 100+ days
What have been achieved to date? Little...could have been better
The path ahead is always unknown but the route is decided by you & you alone
September is the best time to crystalize your dreams as the weather cools and your mind is calm
Whatever fits
Just give yourself the best; your best shot to push you nearer to success
September morning will turn cold into winter
When Autumn leaves, Winter arrives and 冰冻三尺非一日之寒 by then, it's casted into ice
I don't believe in Fate as I believe, I am the Decider
Cast away the doubts and bring forward the success and harvest
The poor man remains poor because he harp over his poverty
The smart man climb out of poverty because his efforts are spent on finding his "Cheese" - the smell of money stinks & so are Cheese
Shedding tears lighten the heart

Autumn - The Time To Be
when autumn arrives ...
When romance sprouts in September (May-September Romance), tongues wag
Especially if a younger man weds a more senior woman than the reverse
It is not just unorthodox but the physiological advancement of the lady makes child bearing a little more challenging
But, love is blind and romance knows no age-bar
The old notion that child-bearing is a necessity should evaporates over time
When Autumn comes, plants begin to shed their leaves to conserve and prepare for winter
Autumn is a time to harvest, reflect and catch up with the magic of crystalizing your dreams & plans
After nine months of hard work, the baby arrives & so must the rewards of your efforts
If your Resolutions didn't come close to fruition, there is still time to change course
Repeating the same solutions to an existing problem do not lead to answers
I love Autumn, also known as Fall, where the weather cools & it's the transition from summer into winter
Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.
The falling leaves remind that life is temporary yet resourceful
Gives up some as the old fade away and the new shall return in due course
Repairs and fresh energy will always rekindle an aging body
Rejoice; our body (cell) replaces itself and makes us better - We will win
Apart from harvesting丰收时辰, Autumn is also the time to slow down
To let the body recharges and the Soul to reenergize
It is the season to replenish, restock and getting ready for winter
Autumn is a timely reminder to be prepared for exigencies and the challenge winter brings
Be prepared as always
Even the leaf struggle against the elements
We survive in any environment; hot, cold, wintry
Human, like all living things, fight to survive
It's a natural instincts
Survival of the fittest and the Rules of the Jungle are fast applied to Mankind
Selfishness, greed and space constraints are disrupting the ecosystem
Like rats in a cubicle; they'll fight to survive
Unless, and until, Mankind learn and practice compassion and care, living conditions will not be any better
Will Man self destruct? Guess, commonsense is no longer commonly available
When it should end, it will
But, Winter never comes suddenly
Autumn is here to remind ALL to be prepared
Be good, be nice, be compassionate and be prepared
Tomorrow is never promised but tomorrow shall come
Like Sunrise and Sunset, the Evil shall be destroyed long before the world implodes
When the Spirit is willing, the Mind delivers

Adrenaline : The Rush
the high octane powering the person...
Adrenaline - The young have it but the positively driven persons have abundance
This is the grease for the brain and pushes the brain into overdrive
Riots, sex, gore, violence, guts and extreme experiences are enabled by adrenaline push
It's not just herds instinct
Alone and prepared to be 'wild & extreme'
Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Alexandra the Great, Sultan Osman 1 (Ottoman Empire), QingShiWang
These are not just strategists and conquerors but heavily purpose driven
The 'want" to reach new frontiers and conquer newfoundland
Nothing can stop them except age and illnesses
Man beats all obstacles but fails in the hands of women
Top achievers and winners are unique as having the "Grit"
Giving up is not a choice
They offer solutions to problems and break the box instead of just thinking out of the box
Walk the paths that few will
No new lands are conquered if you can still see the shores
Man does not rebel unless push to the extreme
As the ordinary Man seeks food, shelter, emotional belongings and group recognition
Expansion and conquest are left to the Alpha-Man
With fire in the belly, he seeks to dominate
Winning is everything
Will Man stop after reaching the top? No, not unless over their dead body
Napolean met his Waterloo
Germany almost made it if not for testing Russia
Asia could have been the 'Japanised' if not for slaying Pearl Harbor
GenghisKhan and Alexandra the Great ruled over vast lands but "age & sickness" estopped them
Today's world is vastly influenced by US with China, the awakened giant, as a competitor
US, together with her European allies, look formidable against China or Russia
But, a loose alliance between China and Russia make for equilibrium
The East and West must peacefully coexist to prosper, whatever their adrenaline rush
Any attempts to dominate militarily will be MAD - Mutual Assured Destruction
It's best to deploy the Adrenaline Rush to commerce where Laws of Comparative Advantage rules
The shared prosperity, peacefulness and growth provide for a better mankind and living
The freedom to navigation, airspace and landings build "oneness" and brew common destiny
GOD didn't promise Heaven or Hell; it's for Mankind to enjoy Heaven on Earth
Why wait to go to Heaven and live in a Hellish world on Earth? The Heaven is here on Mother Earth
Every Man has a role on Earth & no one is too small or big for his role
Otherwise, we'd all be made the same
You do not know your real value, abilities and capabilities until you try
Nobody owes anybody a living; go forth and multiply
Let the rush, powered by Adrenaline, begins
Adrenaline - The young have it but the positively driven persons have abundance
This is the grease for the brain and pushes the brain into overdrive
Riots, sex, gore, violence, guts and extreme experiences are enabled by adrenaline push
It's not just herds instinct
Alone and prepared to be 'wild & extreme'
Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Alexandra the Great, Sultan Osman 1 (Ottoman Empire), QingShiWang
These are not just strategists and conquerors but heavily purpose driven
The 'want" to reach new frontiers and conquer newfoundland
Nothing can stop them except age and illnesses
Man beats all obstacles but fails in the hands of women
Top achievers and winners are unique as having the "Grit"
Giving up is not a choice
They offer solutions to problems and break the box instead of just thinking out of the box
Walk the paths that few will
No new lands are conquered if you can still see the shores
Man does not rebel unless push to the extreme
As the ordinary Man seeks food, shelter, emotional belongings and group recognition
Expansion and conquest are left to the Alpha-Man
With fire in the belly, he seeks to dominate
Winning is everything
Will Man stop after reaching the top? No, not unless over their dead body
Napolean met his Waterloo
Germany almost made it if not for testing Russia
Asia could have been the 'Japanised' if not for slaying Pearl Harbor
GenghisKhan and Alexandra the Great ruled over vast lands but "age & sickness" estopped them
Today's world is vastly influenced by US with China, the awakened giant, as a competitor
US, together with her European allies, look formidable against China or Russia
But, a loose alliance between China and Russia make for equilibrium
The East and West must peacefully coexist to prosper, whatever their adrenaline rush
Any attempts to dominate militarily will be MAD - Mutual Assured Destruction

Unknown Frontiers And Baseless Accusations
where mad dogs reign...
Being accused of things that I have not done; I have seen them aplenty
Some will rant and accuse you without making background checks
Worse are those who insists they are right even after being shown the facts
Well, well... never wrestle with a pig
They love to get dirty
Ignoring them is not the best but it is better than engaging in wasteful engagement
Life is colorful with many different characters, including clowns & unreasonable jerks
The journey of life is one of discovery
Pushing for new frontiers, though unknown and a long-shot, is amazingly enriching
The discoveries and rewards, although sometimes none, is rewarding
Trying something new may lead to gains monetarily, if not the experiences
There is nothing more scary and fearsome than to be too far ahead of the curve
You've been there, done that but the ecosystem is not ready for you and your ideas
Yet, if you don't move, the perfect answer is "ZERO" & you will never know
We cannot change the world but by changing ourselves, the impetus is set
Why bother to change others? Everyone has a dream
But, few wake up to work on their dreams; one competitor lesser indeed
The biggest failures are those who know a little but fire on all 4-cylinders - the loose cannons
Nobody's perfect
I never choose perfection as "perfection, like ideals, change after arrival"
Walk away from those with negative reactions; nothing good can come from a foul mind
Your tomorrows is/are determined by what you have done today
I am no magician but I believe in myself and my abilities
The world is my oyster and my playground
Nobody's gonna pity nor sympathize me and I don't expect handouts
I am a giant in my own rights; moving away from famish situation to harvest
That's our basic instinct; survival
I do not strive just to survive; I prosper and rally the positive results
Someday, when my time is up, I want to proudly say "I have done it"
I hate baseless accusations but I also would not spend precious resources and time to fight it
Not that I can walk away but some parasites need a 'bashful' punch in order to awake
There is no winner in fighting them except to gain clarity & a clean status
But, but...alas; some fights are unavoidable
Trust me, ask no questions
Doubt me, whatever I answer may not be acceptable nor amenable
I am who I am; not arrogance but living in my own "heavenly nutshell made easy for myself"
Go forth and multiply
For the better or worse

The New Frontiers
going into the unknown to discover gems...
We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future - John F. Kennedy
Nobody is any smarter by blaming the world except himself
When you change, the world changes with you
Everyone make sa correct decision at that moment of deciding
Go forth and help others to make this world a better place
Instead of hoping to enjoy in Heaven, why not live a 'heavenly' life here? True
You may be tempted to take risks but never gamble with you life

Every Day Is A Bonus
the last breathe doesn't come suddenly; it's instant...
Alive Or Barely Living
How much life is there in everyone? No one knows
You are as alive as you are breathing
Healthy, sick, struggling; you cannot ignore the life following through you
The sanctity of human life
Live life to the fullest
Within your ability and affordability, eat, run, see, explore... before your body fails you
There is no need to 'save' but there a need to fully 'use' your body long before it wastes out
Our body cells regenerate, replace and renew with little to no constraints
However, healthy and fit I tried to maintain, I do fall ill from time to time
Nobody wants to fall ill but our ecosystem is so exposed to imported foreigners from lesser known and unfamiliar places that diseases never seen nor heard here surface eg MonkeyPox
We are immune to most diseases but not the newer ones brought in by foreigners
Diseases don't need to clear immigration borders
Market Barometer
This is not a heart beat measurement
It is the STIC chart in 2015 [election year] and it rebounded from the persistent weaknesses to lend some positivities to the market [circled]
Will this year be any different or same? Maybe👀
STIC chart is looking for a rebound in the short term
The [global] stock markets are still subjected to 'shock' correction with a upside bias
Expect range-bound trades
The trade wars has been factored into the market as it has dragged for awhile
"Buy/Sell on rumour and Sell/Buy on facts"; the game is old but the players are new
Finding Peace & Harmony
Many find religions to find peace
But, peace is in the mind
Many struggled to buy more than he needed & slaved to pay off the unintended purchases
Not smart but smug like the mule
Many hit for the gym because others are, not because they wanted to ; see and be seen
While the rich are trying to shed their pounds, the poor are eking and searching for the illusional ounces of meals
Man proposes, GOD disposes
There is no absolute in life
There is always two sides to life
Some a failure saves you; late for work at NY TwinTowers
Continue your pursuit with zeal for nothing stops you except yourself
Every day's awake is a bonus

This Time It's Different - Wealth Preservation
strip off emotions & everything is the same... This time it's different. Sure, every time "it is different", not just this...
