August ~ An Upbeat Period

the kingdom lies within ...

My life is not void nor loneliness but alone forever

Fifty years ago, my secondary four discipline teacher, Mr Sim, wrote "你要江山自己去闯 ~ you want success, go fight for it [yourself]"

Alone is blessings-in-motion; you decide your Fate that builds your Future

Tomorrow is never promised but you have the absolute freedom to paint your life on the blank canvas. Many wait for the appropriate occasion to do what they wanted to do but their lives were cut short & never crystalize their intent

Today is the best and the moment is now 

Don't blame others for your [own] failures, inept and lacking in direction

You can learn from books [least painful as the results are known], others' experiences [find a mentor] &/or your own [the most painful amongst all]

If you work, you earn a salary; you're forever under bondage ~ try to be an entrepreneurial employee! Get paid for whatever keeps you going and earn performance bonuses and ex-gratia payments. He thinks you're cheap, but you know he's your platform to make more money without, or minimum, risk 

Birds of a feather flock together 物以类聚，人以群分 Are you aware that crow rides on the back of eagles while goats climb vertical cliffs with ease - a reflection of exceeding your self-imposed limitations

HEALTH above all; no or few wealthy lords can outlive the commoners. Almost all lived to about 36,000 days and no one can 'pay another' to suffer their ill-health; without health you're a rotten self

You reap what you sow 因果  Man proposes, GOD disposes. Your destiny may be 'fixed' but your ways toward achieving destination is as varied as the rainbow 命难改 命运可变

You can be concerned but don't worry too much. Why worry to death when death is the ultimate end journey? Live and experience your journey 

My life is never bored yet sprinkled with lots of ups & downs and surprises ... yours too

You can project forward but you cannot say for sure that "it will happen timely"

Everything is a chance

Grab when chance presents; otherwise, it's just a passing

Do not try to change others 做好自己

In this turbulent period, live best when others live worse; be there when peace, stability and prosperity return
