Life Awkwardness & Weaknesses

immerse in misery or rejig to cheerfulness...

Hurts don't kill; it's the indulgence in misery that intoxicate the mind

An intoxicated mind is self-destructive & poison the social ecosystem

The longer it lingers, the more fatal it becomes & the end is almost always terminal

Get away, get over ... it's a journey, not a destination

Time is the best friend; it heals all pains

All shalt pass... why keep the hurts & losses when nights will turn day soon

Stay fit & healthy; safe, of course. Tomorrow is another new day

Work stresses, business uncertainties, family quarrels are dockets of challenges that surface from time to time

We work to live, not live to work - enjoy every moments of life - live proactively

How do you define a person is wealthy? When he can & will spend the money to buy whatever he wants without much hesitation nor worries. He takes care of himself and fulfil his personal needs. 

If a rich man couldn't even spend $20 on his favourite meal, he is living miserably.

When your loved ones or a close friend departs, a whole new chapter begins without that person... it's not a continuity

The journey forward is filled with memories & fondness 

Contrary, life will never be the same but still flows

Enjoy your life to the fullest with whatever minimal you have

Nobody is any happier that you leave behind a fortune. Why? If they love you, they feel sad that you didn't care enough for yourself. If they don't love you, they don't deserve the inheritance

该来的总是会来 - 随缘

If FateBook is destiny, you have a choice - only the dates of being born and death is recorded; the journey is for you to decide 

Adoff Hitler, JFKennedy, Bernie Madoff, Mao TzeDong, Lee Kuan Yew, Deng XiaoPing, Churchill, Stalin...wrote their own destiny - you TOO

Make your mark in you life & live to the fullest 酸甜苦辣 is only a taste & it changes... I chose light taste in my life & accepts the occasional uplift 

You may see me suffer but you will never see me tear

I command & control my Providence, the ups & downs are part of the story

When it's time for me to leave, I'd have told all my lifetime stories - the real, the agony, the achievements, the defeats, the betrayals & my own follies

I am just as human as anyone with weaknesses & awkwardness

Hurts Never Kill

 if you can shoulder it...

The amount of load that you can carry and continues to carry is the surest sign that you are not burdened nor suffering under that weight nor pressures

Parents give everything to their kids to lighten their lives & create possibilities

The loved (被爱者）will be showered with blessings, cares, gifts, opportunities; at times, beyond the affordability of the givers

When love strikes, the sacrifices are almost infinite but there is a price for everything

Playing with emotions can be pricy though; the repercussions may also be equally explosive

Nothing comes for free

Whenever something crops up amongst friends, I seldom ask "why"! If he wants to tell, he would have done so. If he doesn't, he will cook-up a story to placate everyone. That's the same as someone asking for a loan

It's better to be a good listener than a good counselor as most ask for a listening ear to pour out their sorrows

I love the rain; walking in the rain where tears & rain comingle as water - the Soul is blessed with showers and the heart lightens without burnout & nobody sees the weaknesses of the self

When the mirror is broken but restored, the hairline cracks remain, however faint

When your boss breaks his promises. when your better half breaks the trusts, when your most desired 'dream was not forthcoming nor materializing', it's best to bite the bullet, accept the fact, take a impactful punch and walk away

You may be hurt badly but wounds do heal ... it takes time

The scars are Trophy of Experiences

Many a times, setbacks are self-inflicted; from the parent who sacrificed everything to send her kid to college but landed in aged home, to the lover who gave every inch away & only to receive unrequited love and the willingness to be incarcerated for another crime

There are no fools but stupidity; fools do 'wake up'. The stupid person is like someone who died and is oblivious of his surroundings and the people around him is suffering the consequences of his acts 

You live and passes on in due course; do not take advantage of others unnecessarily

Debts will need to be repaid whereupon emotional debts have limitless retributions. It's like fire - a match can burn a forest

If you discover yourself being used or manipulated, walk away & start afresh - the pains will go away

Why bother with revenge than to watch him falter in a larger game 雨过天晴

Take it easy however demanding the situation is as all shalt pass

He who laughs last, laughs best 

In this trying moments, the lighter the mind, the easier the journey

Let GO & every awakening is a new day

Adopt & Adapt

alone in the wilderness...

When you think you are needed & indispensable, you're probably still useful

But, when you die, the globe continues to spin with one person less

In fact, some were already forgotten when they're alive - the abandoned kids, the rejected parents & the rough stays

Lonely & alone aren't exactly loneliness

Are you lonely or do you choose to be alone to enjoy the serenity of life; the undisturbed peace, not unlike meditation & retreats

Or, were you the disruptive, problematic, self-centred type that many chose to avoid?  The hermit lives in his own world

Famous & rich people commit suicide not because they have no friends but because they cannot find someone close and reliable to confide ; where the listening ears outweigh the counseling 

Humans are social animals; the need to be around people and to be recognised 

君子之交淡如水

Conversely, when you over-provide and care too much for a close one, your utility diminishes - he cannot see the value of your contributions but instead felt invasion of privacy & space

Such persons should be left in the woods & feed to the wolves!

Express appreciation with shared compassion; you cannot demand help 

A match can light up total darkness. The brightest spark is the break of dawn. The lighthouse informs of shallow ground and shore is probably nearby - darkness & light interchanges

When one chapter closes, another begins although the pains remain

As the pages flip & past, a new ecosystem surfaces and joy is redefine; nobody should indulge in self-pity

You maybe abandoned & alone but life gets back to normal once you've adjusted

Laughing My Way To Victory

anything is possible...

Offshore accounts hidden in tax heavens islands (BVIs, HongKong, US(South Dakota), Singapore (AsiaCiti Trust is one of the key player & based in Singapore) by high profile people; kings, politicians, artists, princlings, wives of the "who's who" 

What's impossible? COVID closed international borders and clipped the wings of flights, Man are caged in, experimental vaccinations are applied directly onto Man & ...the animals are watching

All living things lived on air, water and sunlight; with COVID, air becomes a commodity - you pay to breath oxygen

Air is free but not for too long. Water was abundance but no longer drinkable; nations will go to war to secure drinkable water. Sunshine is available but a nuke-war may darken the sky

Spend your time with your love ones and disassociate with those who 'milk' you, talk down to you, betray you and 'sold' you 拉黑 - keep your family & bosom friends & clear the casual acquaintances

Time is finite

Nothing is impossible - believe in yourself & explore the unexplored

Trust in GOD, be compassionate & offer aid to the less fortunate and eat lesser meat (i can't say don't eat meat ; to each his own)

Colonel Sunders began his chicken business (KFC) at aged 65, with $105 (his social security cheque) as capital, during the Great Depression. He saw opportunities

Sir Charlie Chaplain has an absent father and his mother struggled financially; nothing stopped him from being successful as an actor, producer & director. He was able to laugh off miseries

When you are too busy making a living, there is no time for worries and complaints

An idle mind is a devil's workshop; spend your time reading (a widespread of) topics of interests; someday, they will be useful

Your energy is best spend on positive motivational plans than disuse in overthink

Many successful people spend time creating and commercializing their creation & do not wallow in misery

It's normal to face obstacles and complain but wouldn't the energy be better used finding solutions? I resolve and rein-in problems; with victory, to seek compensation is an afterthought

Let go of your past failures and disharmony. The world loves a winner & if you're standing high on the pedestal, your beacon lights up the world & everyone comes to you

COVID levels down society's social status & allow many an opportunity to climb the social ladder

Unless, you see opportunity, you are doomed to remain status quo 

Go with the flow; some day soon you will reach the peak of your dream...

The Normal Cycle - Everything Ends & Re-start

everything ends...

Live your best when others live worse

From birth to death; everything is a journey

You learn & arm yourself with 'qualifications' cum experiences and better your chances of achieving your goals

Everyone has different goals 心有多大 舞台就多大

Some struggled throughout their lives but achieved little but others hardly pushed their finger & rewards are abundant

This world will never be fair - the earlier you accept it, the lighter the frustration, disappointments & bondage

All promises are empty until delivered

If I need to make a choice between trust and money, I'll take money - with money i can trade trusts 有钱不是万能 无钱万万不能

Money is only a means to an end, not an end by itself

Life  has never been tough if you care to void yourself of emotions and expectations

Do whatever fits, take whatever comes ... as from life to death is only a breath away

When you help others, it's a spent force & do not expect appreciation, repayment nor acknowledgement

Whatever rewards, if any, are incidentals

I live once & every day is a bonus - I'll do & go where my heart takes me, logic aside yet without messing up my life

Tomorrow is never promised

Like it or not, we are already in October, 2021 - 3/4 of a year is gone and many are none the wiser but still entrench in the Covid-war, struggling to understand

Money: Will the many zeroes be eliminated & its value debased? Let's ride the cycle 

From 1900 to now, the stockmarket, where monies are distributed, is a good indicator of the well-being of economies - boom, bust, recovery

Man (central banks) has created the windows to print money, to multiply it's effects, to shore up confidence and to keep the cycles spinning

COVID did not floor the economies but has definitely slowed the spin

US and China trade spats have aided the slow down but stock market in US has been roaring, none the less

Smart money is always looking for safe heaven but I have doubts if the US markets, especially the eBusinesses & futuristic concepts (eVehicles, space travel, AI + Robotics), can last without major adjustments

Buying into the future is buying into a promise but the world is in consumption mode; here & now

As many are cautious of the Jupiter Effects, every major drop enjoys an equally strong rebound

When confidence wears thin and disappears, 2022 will usher in the "1929 effects"...watch out, you read it here 

The physical signs are here but ignored: 

**Long Q@soup kitchens

**unemployment & underemployment

**wealth concentration in a few (google: The pyramid shows that: half of the world's net wealth belongs to the top 1%, top 10% of adults hold 85%, while the bottom 90% hold the remaining 15% of the world's total wealth, top 30% of adults hold 97% of the total wealth)

**disrupted logistics and supply chain 

**shortage of food

**natural calamities

Unless and until the above are more settled and stable, the next 6-12 months will be challenging

Worry not as this is part of the cycles; the only constant is change
