tomorrow may not come...
The Capital Markets
The US debts have risen from under $16trillion (2012) to $23trillion (2019).
The DJIA was about 5000 points in 2011 and rose to near 28,000 (2019).
Were
debts powering DJIA or did DJIA pave the way for more debts? Either
way, can each or both survive an economic stalemate to decline caused by
trades restriction (read: trade war)?
As the US$ finds save haven in Petrol$s, will a sudden 'divorce' cause a collapse of the almighty US$?
The future is uncertain...
The
future of finance is as safe as a 'collapse' so as to enable the values
in circulation to adjust to real, instead of fiat, money. Ideally, a
managed decline is better than sudden changes but the world order is in
disorder as trusts are dissipating fast. The avalange of derivatives
written by banks and underwritten by insurance houses, if implode, will
make 2007/8 looked miniscule; a child's play. Watch gold.
The
first 3-quarters of 2020 will be a test of nerves where the trade wars
may manifest into an accidental military confrontation of sorts. The
level minded political leaders have to ward off the 'hawks &
trigger-happy' politicians & military boys whose thoughts centred on
'limited warfare'! In this dangerously nuclear-armed world, it's gonna
be MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) & it's destruction unlimited.
I am not altogether negative.
Trade
conflicts will be ironed out but painful acceptance is required. In the
meantime, every countries and economic blocs adjust to each others'
expectation. Trades may fall, economic numbers decline but over time, it
become a 'new normal'; there are enough to go around as expectations
wane. Smart monies will find haven in new techs, fintecs, eCommerce and,
logistics and AI (Artificial Intelligence) will gain prominence.
On-time
and Just-In-Time deliveries will grease the waves of commerce. Capital
markets will continue to provide the money flow whereas commodities
markets, especially soft commodities, will gain importance as more
mouths need to be fed.
A divided global packs of
USAmerica, USEurope and USAsia (include Russia), all commonly greased by
MidEast Oil, will slow down commerce but not decimate trades. Watch
Asia. Of course, if this happens, we may be walking through the dark
tunnel of depression. Isn't this Boom & Bust Cycle?
Expect the global uncertainties to clear out but 4th Quarter, 2020. Hopefully, Earth still remains healthy and intact.
There is hope.
You
have your picks on where to 'invest your money'; the good old, "eat
(everyone still need to eat), use (the basic supplements for daily
living), necessities (need I say more?) and new eSolutions &
eCommerce (the new eWorld)" industries should meet your needs.
Wishing ALL A Happy & Prosperous 2020

Change While You Can
the spirit is willing but the body is weak...
You are as strong as you are today; mobile, active & thinking
The strongest person is easily taken down by sickness or disease
Dr Alexandre Chao died from severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) while serving in a hospital fighting the deadly virus
Canadian model and actor Godfrey Gao dies at 35 while filming reality show, possibly heart attack
Steve Jobs died in Palo Alto on October 5, 2011, after battling pancreatic cancer for nearly a decade
Being born and death is not a choice as tomorrow's never promised
Between being born and death, you can do whatever you want within your ability
Climb the highest mountain, swim the deepest ocean, dive the clearest reef or being the worst dictator or best leader or remain a pauper
You can push the frontiers
But, do not push well beyond your limits - your body is the first signal
Material achievements and vanity fame are temporary & illusional
Stay healthy & laughs away your worries
No amount of money can give you a qualitative life
Health is the CAPITAL that drives all harmonious achievements
Evil motives and a schemer's mind will eventually self-destruct
Gluttony - when you take more than what you can chew & digest, you implode in due course
There is fear in changes but without changes you will forever be entrapped 囚鸟
Eating out of another's hand is like drug dependency - forever stucked
Promises are illusions until delivered & if trust was/were broken, only fools grip on
Why leave your life to another who fools you forever? If you've made the choice, be prepared to live with it
Do not be a prisoner onto yourself
Give yourself a chance as nobody will
Go forth and conquer and push for newer frontiers
Nobody cares if you are alive and well but if you enjoy slavery, enjoy the suffering too
Bricks and stones break bones, not words
With a healthy mind and body, nobody can enslave you
Rest if you must but never quit
When you are being used and enslaved, that's because you have chosen so
The spirit is always willing but if your body is weak (to resist), you are a weakling
No amount of encouragement and motivation can save you but yourself
Begin today and now to see the best in yourself & break open from your self imposed misery
Winner write the story; followers read and fools applaud
There are few days left in December 2019
If you didn't change or don't want to change, you will have 366days to do so in next Leap year
But, death may arrive earlier
You are as good as your last breathe
Go...go on; be there, done that
There is no gifts in afterlife
You are as strong as you are today; mobile, active & thinking

Year 2019 Almost Stop
every moments pass shalt never return...
What is life and death? It's the moment that you start breathing & when it stops
GOD never serves notice for either
Between life and death, you can do whatever you want but that doesn't mean you will get all you wanted
There is that much to go around & not all desires can be crystalised
The world will never be equal yet humans are making the divide greater
December - the last month in the year - a challenging year indeed
I closed November in a most unexpected drama, having to face the shadow of death
One of my lesser used organ ruptured, requiring an urgent cut, clean and removal
The excruciating pain was the only symptom as I never has any health issues before
The thought of going under the knife was unthinkable for a healthy guy like me but I did
What if I didn't get out of the theatre alive? Well, that's never my concern
I have lived everyday to the fullest and tomorrow's never promised
I was warned by no less than two friends that, over the last one year, each of them have lost two fairly healthy friends
Their lives just expired
That's life
I hear and see many who complain more than utilizing their energies to find solutions
There are also many who preach the niceties of heaven and the wraths of hell
Why not live your best and enjoy a 'heavenly life on earth' than to wait for the next world? Alas
If you didn't live healthily and happily, you've wasted your time ...living
There is a short 25 days before December 2019 closes and passes
Dreams are sweet and goals are far
Go forth to achieve and push for new frontiers
Many who procrastinate will be repeating their resolutions again
You CAN and you must crystalize your dreams before your last breathe
There is no extension and mostly, it is sudden
When the music stops, the dance ceases
世上没有如果 只有结果和后果
Be there, done that is better than "I should have..."
Time and tides wait for no man
A day well spent is 86,400 seconds gained
May your balance in 2019 be the best
GOD bless

Turbulent Times
the pendulum swings ...
Life never ends and flips from good to bad and reverse
Just like sunrise and sunset
The four seasons come and go and remind everyone to pace their life/lives
It is not the length of down times that 'kills' but the intensity
Throw in 'impatience' and you will be almost totally incapacited
Many a person surrender for lack of patience
MaoTzeDong said "ignore it and it wouldn't hurt. Don't think about it and it didn't exist"
If you can ignore the pain, the hurt and the setback; nothing cuts
When Man is non-emotional & have no expectations, he is one realm above many
He can accept the good and the bad with equanimity
A Man can repeat a lie a million times such that all others believe it is true
All men are gullible
Self-beliefs drives the person
When you are down, lie low; the world loves a Winner...losers are 'punished and banished'
Rostrum are for victors
There is time for everyone and everything
Rest, recharge, recuperate, wallow in self-pity, heal the wound...just don't rush
Some day, some how...you will return a better person and be able to fight better; if only you knew
Yuan ShiKai, Deng XiaoPing, Putin, Dr Mahathir & many others waited and arrived in due course
Wars are all painful, vengeful, merciless and regretable
But, many who survived the turbulent times return to prosperity and luxury
Normal life is abnormal to many
Just live the best you can when the situation is worst; you shall float up when good times return
It is all about surviving the "downs"; the "ups" is near heaven & need no guidances
I am not very smart
But, I wait in line, prepare my mental capacity, gather knowledge and skills, stay healthy & be ready
When the opportunity presents, pounce
Victory is the best and sweetest revenge
There are no turbulent times, just "down times"
Get over and it is the new phase....

Eliminates The Useless And Irrelevance
time and tides wait for no man...
There are moments when people need help
There are urgency that cannot wait & require immediate attention
I will be there
But, when the reverse happens...I am also there alone
If there is a ruler to measure helping and asking for help, I would have a ruler that runs round to globe reflecting the former
Not that I needed help but I have to learn to resist helping others
My time, effort and resources are ill-spent
Respecting others' time is another virtue
When you let others wait idly for you, it reflects badly on you
Our time is finite; time spent on you means others are deprived of it
We must make the best use of time and spend it wisely and fruitfully
Only the best and non-toxic members deserve your time
拉黑
In today's internet world, the information avalanche is simply humongous
Wechat, Whatsapp, Twitter, Linkedln, Lines...my world is overwhelmed with datas
Many are getting lonelier than happier and stress is more intense as machines replace humans
There is minimum to no human interaction
Human devoid of others co-relation is void and lonely and suffers mental decay
The empty mind is the devil's workshop
The deluge of of eInformation and eFriends are detrimental
I safely assume I do not know 70% of my hp-contacts and others in the eChatsGroups
And, I wasted efforts and time just doing eCommunication; they only exist in space - the radiowave
No one can come to my rescue when I'm in need
I am not hopelessly negative but I am learning to be practical - only true friends count
And, I gonna do spring cleaning of my eFriends and eAcquaintances
Eliminate the useless, well not that they were useful
Forget the acquaintances and the "hellows from the Blue Moons"
Block those who knock on my doors for helps and favors and disappear almost as immediately
Blackmarked 拉黑那些无事不登三宝殿 the parasites
I would have save 30% of time & happily 'extend' my life
There are many who will love my presence
I am occasionally stress myself to the brink
Standing by the cliff and I ponder what's next
The Great GOD comes by to relieve me of my silliness
And give me a reprieve
At moments like these, I re-energised
Some day, some how; I will run out of time
But, I will live every day as currently and current as I possibly could
Today, as I breath, I am alive
I may expire any time...
Henceforth, I live everyday to the fullest

Die Or Dying
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
What if I know or I'm told that my days are numbered? Surprise, reject, accept or resigned...

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
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
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

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

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
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

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

Who Am I? Where Am I Going?
comings, goings & wondering ...
Leaf, bud, flower...fades
Efforts aplenty but enjoy a little at bloom time
Nature demands attention yet reward sparingly
Is there a value in Nature? Yes, but it's a long term exchange
You put in tender-care and the ecosystem balances out with beauty
However, Nature, once destroyed, will take years upon years to recover yet sometimes...never
The Globe that we live in is suffering from years of disrepair, pollution and contamination
Man will someday self-destroy
Without industrial wastes, Nature was able to recycle, treat and dissolve them
Mother Earth is suffering an aged-old, decay ...like death is nearing
i am young and have many younger friends
Age is a number but the body needs maintenance and food to grow
More importantly, the Soul needs positive motivation to continue
No body can flourish into a fully mature, successful and sustainable being if half his mind is decaying
The Spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak
When the mind freezes, the senses stall
Go forth and push for new frontiertes; conquers tomorrow's fear, today
I started work with little education as my family was poor
Working for the next meal and helping to put meals on the table for my family was a norm
Complains are/were rare as survival outweighed everything else
Learning and gripping the ropes of survival was a necessity
Work hard but being wiser and smarter saved the day
Grit, diligence, enthusiasm, hard workingness and street-wisdom - keys to successes
No body dies of hunger if he is willing to eke a living
That's only as true as can be, provided he is fairly healthy and mobile
Nobody wants to be sicked & rhetoric like "you save on medical costs by staying healthy" is irrelevant as sickness may strike the healthiest person at the most untimely moments
Do not presume that any able body persons do not want to work or are lazy
It is easy to judge others but spare them some thoughts - Asians want face
面子也是资本
Many successful tycoons start from next to nothing but "an idea"
They believe in themselves and their "ideal"
Can you? You can too
Nobody knows the end game but the successful people know their end goal
To make it, you need to have a destination, a goal, an objective - some call this "destiny"
If destiny equals fate, I want to decide it myself
An action will cause a reaction
Put your best efforts into working on your dreams
It will manifest & blossom in the most unexpected moments
Trust yourself, then GOD
As GOD helps those who helps themself
Efforts aplenty but enjoy a little at bloom time

The Nature Of Aggregators
adding & multiplying manifest...
A Nation is formed by grit and commitment
A good leader leads his flock to higher grounds
There is no escape from hardship but when you are struggling to survive, there is no time to complain
Ploughing and 'prodding' the ground is no small efforts
Heaven天 will always listen but not answer; you can ask but you need to work towards your goals
Land地 provides whatever you want & work on. You cannot have papayas if you sow rambutan seeds
People人 - that's you
You ask Heaven/GOD for help but you gonna work towards it
GOD helps those who helps themself
A Nation must be led by the Lion, not sheep; worse if it's fox
No Nation can sustain, improve and prosper if it's divided
Worse, if there is a class divide and struggle
Singapore will always be my home
I will defend it at all costs, not for myself, but for my fellowmen & future generations
Sometimes, the enemy is from within
At other times, they were invited (in) or disguise as Trojan Horses
It is naive to say "it's not my business" as I will sink together with the island like "Syonan-to"
But, I cannot win alone
It takes two hands to clap, make sounds and fight
Not resisting and fighting is patience, not weakness
Always fight to win
You must demonstrate your limits底线 to the aggressor
No one is a coward, a pushover or a weakling
Nobody should wait 'til the last straw
Everyone wants peace, sustainability and prosperity
Only fools will fight for fun
We have many circuit breakers to ease off the pressures of life
When down; reset, reboot & restart
Going down is never an issue; it's about getting up and running again
Are you around when Spring returns? Rest, if you must
The aggregate of pressures need to be released
Stress are motivators too
You are forced to react or to retreat: fight or flight
Relax, retreat and recuperate - lie low when your chips are down
We have our bad days, down days, rough days...but all shall pass
Give your best shot to everything you do
Support a good cause and offer to lift up a dull's day - SMILEs
Smiles cost nothing but turn dark moments into delightful encounters
SMILES lighten the heart and aggregate positive energy
Some day, some how...the better things return
A good leader leads his flock to higher grounds

May Day - Labour & His Fate
labor, laboring and laborious...
We work to live and not live to work
The man needs to bring bread and butter to the table and to provide a roof over his head
When you slaved to pass a day, life is miserable and torturous
Money is a means of exchange but you can "eat from the earth" by planting food
Bartering with others is another possibility; rice for eggs, eggs for fish, fish for meat
GOD did not make us slaves
Men are generally apolitical
Many will trust the few to provide the "roof, food, jobs"; it is all about care & share
When the few seek sharing with the many, the group prospers and are generally happy
Nobody wants to rock the boat and ruin peace & stability if there is enough to go around
Working smart is better than working hard
Laborious and backbreakingworks are manual intensive and the workers must be paid equitably
Any wages below the living wage is slavery
Similarly, if the top is reaping luxurious incomes while the mass is getting crumbs, it's exploitation
Slaves are non-thinkers even as a group, henceforth easily exploitated
May Day - a day dedicated to the workers
The proletariat were once fiercely organised
They were able to arm-twist and make demands on the bourgeoisie
Then, came the Rulers who arbitrate and provide a 'bridge' & brew middle path solutions
This gave birth to the Tri-Partite arrangements - a seemingly fairer distributions of incomes
But, when the bourgeoisie goes to sleep with the Ruler, the workers suffer
Manipulative Union chiefs are the "waterloos" of the workers
These will individually goes into labour, not laborers
We work to live and not live to work

"Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life." — Marc Chagall
Man lives with dignity and the integrity of provision of reasonableness of finding work, hence income, so as to live in fair comfort and ease
Men are generally apolitical
Many will trust the few to provide the "roof, food, jobs"; it is all about care & share
When the few seek sharing with the many, the group prospers and are generally happy
Nobody wants to rock the boat and ruin peace & stability if there is enough to go around
"The concept of dignity of labour took people off the street." ― Sunday Adelaja
Bricks and stones break bones, not words
Working smart is better than working hard
Laborious and backbreakingworks are manual intensive and the workers must be paid equitably
Any wages below the living wage is slavery
Similarly, if the top is reaping luxurious incomes while the mass is getting crumbs, it's exploitation

"Fairness is not an attitude. It's a professional skill that must be developed and exercised." – Brit Hume
A lot of people have
their big dreams and get knocked down and don't have things go their
way. And you never give up hope, and you really just hold on to it. Hard
work and perserverance. You just keep getting up and getting up, and
then you get that breakthrough.
Robert Kraft

HELP, Help But Do Not Offer For Free
chase your dreams but never chase to help...
When you are helpful, that's expected and demanded, at times
When you extend your goodwill and put in additional efforts, it's taken as a norm
Nobody appreciate real help especially if the results is not within their expectations
There will always be people who think your help must come with a 'warranty'
They may even try to trip you to let you fall
Evil? No, the fallen ones enjoy seeing you in a worse position than them
笑看江湖 笑了就算
Nobody lives forever
Their ending is their karma
Whatever you do in your first 50years will determine your next 50years destiny
You cannot get away with evil deeds, not when your stars are down
The worst punishment is not upon you but when the punishments are cast upon your next generation
You may not live to see but history will not be forgotten
The long arm of Karma dishes out the same menu
Do not take yourself too seriously
So long as you have tried your best, the path forward will be directed 条条大路通罗马
When young, I wanted to join the special force, be a fighter pilot, an air steward, a service staff... but none crystalized
I went on to be a mini 'maestro' in the financial industry; a success thrown at me
I weren't good at mathematics but I was fast in arithmetics
I can never be an architect nor engineer; I am logical in thoughts but not in numbers
Somehow, somewhere, someday ...you'd realize
Some are born with Fame, some gain Fame whilst for others, Fame is thrown at them
I was lucky to not have taken myself too seriously after coming of age
I eat what I hunt
I come from a poor family and survival is the only choice; this motivated me
I lived within my means yet I saved enough to upgrade myself academically
Complaints were few and far as survival outweighs any moments available to complain
I 埋头苦干 ; nor "IFs", no "BUTs", just "DO"
Tomorrow will be better & today I must do my best
I have my defeats & misses and so did I have my hits & successes
Winning is everything
The world loves a winner
Money, fame and power buy friends
But, they leave as soon as your attractions diminish
I see myself as a winner; with or without friends
After I won, the friends flow freely
Alone is not loneliness
The best of friends are there for you, not over a dime
They sit and listen to next to nothing
They are there for a reason : friend
The journey to success is fraught with misses
Falling is never an issue
It's the getting up and continuing
GOD rewards come long after you have succeeded
HE gives you peace and comfort to enjoy your winnings
Only help when asked
If help is extended freely, many will make unnecessary demands
There are many who do not deserve your attention, let alone help
But, with a pure heart, all givings will be rewarded in due course
It hurts at times but...it heals too

Self-Actualization In Motion
the power of being ...
With health, comes action
The actions serve to push for greater heights
心有多大 舞台就多大
Nobody makes it big if they dream small
Slow but steady also meant consistency, not procrastination
There is no victory without sweat, fears, dares, games & opportunities
Victory is sweet because it fights bitterness & near defeats
Wild horses don't make a good race horse
Some level of skills training polish up the person
Acting out and acting up without capabilities is a waste of time
You cannot sustain
The display of well being have to be consistently reinforced by cheats, mischief and misdemeanor
纸包不了火
When the incapable and incompetents refuse to leave and want entrenchment, only ruse and tricks help
The better future will be grossly undermined
One good guy cannot fights a group of hyenas
The good intent will always be undermined and distorted
Who will win? That's not the point
A lot of resources are wasted fighting the undesirables
A straight road is defaced, potted with holes and goals disengaged
How to win back the throne? It's the same tricks and trickery
以其人之道唤起人之心
Fighting fire with fire, brute for brute
The world will be destroyed before peace, calm, progress and prosperity can be achieved by the surviving leftovers; not necessarily smarter but definitely more brutal
The fittest survive is all mental
No human will fights for a valueless cause
Walking away could be the best victory
When the dusts settle, the new day begin
Who's talking about a better tomorrow? It's now or never
This is a pic of fairly successful persons
From all walks of life, profession and stratas
No one claims superior over another and each progresses within their own strengths and surrounding ecosystem
In this commune, care & share is the norm
To each his own
Not everything is great
But, we can make "great" of everything; mind willing
When you see everything as a "no, no", "difficult" and "tough", you are almost dead before you start
Survival of the fittest is a myth; everyone needs someone
Someday, the world will reflect my ideals
And, that some day is soon
The actions serve to push for greater heights

Giving Up Is The Easiest
living a listless life ...
It is easy to do something but doing nothing completely is sometimes impossible
When you have ruled your life and succeeded, not doing anything is indeed impossible
That's why they say "you've got into your head" when you over indulged
More often than not, when you go into over drive, the result is negative
Over eat, over drink, over provide and over care are sure troubles
The former ruin your health and the latter make the recipient dependent
When you care too much, everyone becomes dependent
When you remind often, many ignore datelines
There are no fools as most are 'great pretenders'
They'd milk your and suck you dry
They speak with a fork tongue and tell lies looking you straight in the eyes
They scheme your fall
Brexit is the biggest divorce & it won't be the last
UK withdrew from the Commonwealth
EU is a union of the rich and poorer neighbors
The rich, Germany, France, UK, benefited from a larger market/population with plentiful of youthful, educated and energised workforce
From EEC to EU, it was 60 years and UK is delinking from this 'marriage of convenience' now that there are more members who needed help than before
Historically, France and Germany is one and USA and UK is in the other
Remaining alone is not a new thoughts; UK runs her own finance and defense
This day was preordained, not a listless afterthought
The successful person fills himself with loads of work, reading and practice
An idle mind is a devil's workshop
For the many who complained of hardship, unfairness, discrimination and being disadvantaged
What have you done to make it better? Nothing, as your energy were focus on complainings
Time and tides wait for no man
Worry not for the good Lord will provide & GOD helps those who help themselves
Whichever religions, this is the truth
You have to work for what you want and aspire
Within your means, many things are humanly possible 人为
Everyone prays for rain but nobody get the containers ready; when rain falls, the water goes back into the ground
When you live listlessly, anything is good
An aimless person is like one sailing in a boat without compass; come what may
You can't change the wind direction but you can guide yourself to your desired destination
This is the power of wisdom 智慧
Sometimes, I am down
At times, I was totally defeated and lost
But, I have every intent and determination to stand up again
It is not about the falling; it is the getting up again
Giving up is the easiest; just stop
If you are listless, stop, prod and think 发呆
The power of dreams move frontiers but you need to get up and work on your dream
Tomorrow is never promised
Do it all you want today...

I Am My Own Doing
a little, a little light shall return...
It's darkest before daybreak
The sun shines & the moon reflects
Fire is a good servant but a bad master
There is light at the end of the tunnel
If it's sunshine everyday, chances are "it's a desert"
Any things in excess is bad
There is a need to strike a balance
But, what is enough? The world is getting poorer as the top 5% commands 85% of global wealth
The few politicians (% to population) dictate & control the lives of the others
Lives will never be the same
Equality is just another word
Why is the mass afraid of the few? Laws
Laws are crafted & enacted to restrict & contain the rights, freedom and choice of the commoners
Liberty is yet another word
"Looking like" is far from being real
You may look like Trump but you ain't President
You may look like Arnold Schwarzenegger but you're not Mr Olympia
You may look like Bill Gates but you don't have US$90bil with you
Be real, get real
真的假不了 假的真不了
Life's need not be a struggle
You need not live other's people dreams
Sticks and stones break bones, not words ... do not be cowed by other's tongues
Nobody bothers whether your are doing well, or worse, if you are struggling
Live by the sword and die by the sword
Animals kill for food in the animal kingdom
Whenever there is a territorial fight, once the loser surrenders, the winner stops attacking
Human kills for fun and attempts to wipe out his opponents
When you loss and are down, lie low
There is no hero; all heroes are in the annals
Mark your time, heal and rejevunate and wait until you are ready; then pounce
The power of success lies in the grit & patience
A little by a little, pains depart, recovery begins
Returning to glory is a long and tedious road
But, the taste of victory is sweetest when arrived unannounced
Like day and night, there is no misery; only darkness and light
Some day soon...I shall shine again
It's darkest before daybreak
The sun shines & the moon reflects
Fire is a good servant but a bad master
There is light at the end of the tunnel
If it's sunshine everyday, chances are "it's a desert"
Any things in excess is bad

The Ego
struggling to be understood ...
The human strives to be recognized, gain fame, be wealthy & live in style
They bask in glory
But, life has no short of surprises
Some die young, some die after making a fortune, some didn't even touch their gains
Many chase their material needs and lost their immediate loves ones
“When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, "Why god? Why me?" and the thundering voice of God answered, There's just something about you that pisses me off.” ― Storm of the Century
When wants become needs, the human ego swell and there is lack of Soul within
When the material things are taken away, the human feels hollow & void
Cherish what you have & treasure your dear ones where money can never buy
“The truth." Dumbledore sighed. "It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.” ― Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Truth is always painful
Sweet nothings is lovely
Many a person will speak 'nice words' , not real words
It's so pleasing and yet boost their ego
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” ―
The world will not change unless you change
Everything starts with you & you can never change another person
The same solutions to an existing problem cannot solve it simply because it can't
Otherwise, it would still exists
Be the first mover, be the catalyst
It really doesn't matters if you are misunderstood
You do not live for someone else
Everyone is unique and if everyone's the same, the world will be a boring place
Add colors to you life and manifest your abilities
Some day, the world will come to you because you are different

My Idle Mind
life's irony ...
Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness - Frank Tyge
I live and let live and enjoy everyone's company. There is no time to loss over rejections, indifference,
non-reply and ostracism. We do not live for others; we live with each other. Bricks and stones break bones, not words.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life - Steve Jobs
Ignore those who ignores you. If he/she has no time for you then why should you even spare a seconds? The best time, even if left idle 发呆, is better utilize than on requited responses
