The Silver Bullet

I am the wanderer

My journey started when I first saw light and made my first cry... my Cry of Conquests.
Where the journey shall be, how long is the journey, whats my tasks; I do not know.

Some said its destiny, some said its written in my palms but no one is sure.

My Creator asked if I really like to know what is to come as I move through space and time, I was doubtful if its of any good to know at all.

What am I going to do if I already know all that's going to unfold as I meander forward?

Until today my Creator still gives me the option to know the unknown but I am still not exercising the option. Why?

My living will be stale, my life will be bland if I know too much before hand. I will agonise over the bad, or potentially bad, events that has to happen and will spend too much time worrying that my good time will be over soon.

In life, its best to be a pragmatic, positive wanderer.
Come what may! Seize all opportunities and manage its attendant weaknesses, the results shall be an outcome that you have been longing for.

Get out of your comfort zone and move out of the box.
If you don't try, you have not given yourself the FIRST chance to succeed...
... & I

... I only need ONE chance to succeed

Successess Within

The Globe In My Hand


I know tomorrow will come but I rather make the best use of 'today' cos I may not be around to enjoy the 'tomorrows'.

I know my family will be with me for the better or worse cos I find warmth at home.

I find truth to be revealing and exacting; we are as good as what we are and capable of. If fools succeed, pigs will fly!

I worked hard and earn every cents the honest, hard way; nobody is going to walk over my grave and takes my hardearned money away without a fight.

I believe that the 'more I give, the more I will get'. But, to start with, I must have enough, if not excess, to give!

I strived to do my best but I am strained and stretched as I look for success(es) which are scarce; without meaningful breakthrough I can only inched forward within my limited resources but unlimited confidence.

The spirit is willing though the body is weak but with an iota of confidence and motivation, the mountain shall makeway for the highways.

Somehow I know for sure that everything is within me and destiny is in my hands.

I have traveled the distance; with more happy, successful & blissful outcomes as I move forward. My fire is burning, alittle by little, the flame shall engulf victory.

My Life Is In My Hands

Honesty Saves Life

Honesty

Being honest is not good enough
You have to be sincere too

Nobody gets hurt if everyone is honest
As you go into a deal or agreement with an open mind; aware & beware

With honesty, you need not remember the excuses that were cooked up to cover your lies
As there were never any need to bury any lies

And honesty also saves lives
You cannot jump into the open seas and save a damsel in distress if you can't swim

Most importantly, be honest to YOURSELF
If you can, or think you can, you Can
If you can't but willing to learn, you will make it

It's not about trying to be honest, it is being honest;
Don't try, Just do it.

Smile Again

The Lighthouse In My Heart


Live Alittle, Learn Alittle
Let go and detach from feelings and material well-being
& Life will be alot lighter
Inched forward with a smile and the world smiles with you
My heart is not only lighter, it lights up like a beacon in the open seas
I am light upon the ocean

I light up my life

The Strength In Crying

Cries OF Victory

I cry, you cry
Girls cry and boys too

Crying is not a shame; its an avenue where the Soul lightens
Crying is also an avenue for the 'choked' soul to relieve and live well

Whoever says crying is a shame and a sign of weakness never lives.
All babies cry on arrival; if they don't they will learn to have their "First Cry".

And those who never have their First Cry did not make it alive.
They have no story to tell and are history.

The next time you feel so hurt that you need to cry; have a good one!
I am always available as your crying shoulder

Better still, the Cries of Victory is heard loud and clear.

Be relieved, relaxed and rejuvenated after the steam is released

Going Away

Home is where warmth is!

After so many years of travelling, its still the same; leaving home to go overseas is like fish out of water.
Not that I can't acclimatise but the thought of being away for some days is at times spooky.
I enjoy the uncertainty and the new, and I expect the unexpected.
But, then again every trip is new.
Alas, it must be age!

Guess, its also that the children are growing up too fast.

Travelling is demanding yet rewarding.
Travelling alone allows me to train my thoughts on 'being prepared at all times'.
No one knows the perils of travelling but you will never be safe anywhere in the world if you are any less vigilant.
But, with every trips overseas, you learn the blessings of a warm home.

It is home that I belong and relax.

Coming home is never the same; it gets warmer and calmer.
Guess, its age catching up.

Going away again? Yes.

In God I trust and my home is the globe.

Silence

Quietness

I want absolute silence
I want peace
I want a serene corner
I want to switch off my mind

I am tire!

I want my world to be empty but not void
I want the world around me to be at peace

I want to be alone!

The fact is being alone does not mean loneliness
It does not mean being unwanted or discarded

It simply means detachment

The Mighty Mind

What the mind can think, I can deliver.

Positive begets positive
Success begets successes

If you think you are sick, you are!
The decay in your mind transmit negative ions and flood the physique; you become physically impaired and is immobilized

If you think you cannot, you can't!
You have brutalized and cannibalized your abilities to perform the moment you think you can't.

If you think the people around you do not like you, you are damned!
You have ringfenced yourself and created a barrier where no one can get near you, let alone being your friend.

If you think your superior looks down on you or are belittling you and is not giving you any chances to demonstrate your abilities, you set yourself a glass ceiling from which you are housed-in.

... the lists go on............

The problem is "YOU"
The solution is also in "You"

When it must go wrong, it will go wrong - anytime, anywhere, whatever your dreams

Give yourself a chance as no one will...
Get up with a smile, wash up and smile at the beautiful creature you see (first thing) when you look into the mirror... "Yourself"

You will notice how the radiance in you is going to outshine the desert sun!

And, from this moments on, the world smiles with you

The Magic Millions

What does a million mean to you?

A million ...

Buys you a private apartment but comes with long term commitment and burden

Drives you to work harder to double the million and bogs you down to material challenges

Gives you a 'feel good' day to daydream all that you wanted to do but have yet to start doing

Gives you immediate comfort and a sense of well-being but also sets you thinking

But ...

A million blessings will help you stay out of trouble and keep you healthy

A million well-wishers will warm your heart and give you a steely mind

A million achievable hopes will motivate you towards your goals

A million helping hands will save more people in distress and alleviate sufferings

You can have a million dollar$ which gives you material and short-term reprieve;

I prefer A Million Blessings, Well-wishers, Achievable hopes, Helping hands because these will, by extension, bring me multiples of millions with peace and harmony.

I gain something and every others gain with me

Stockmarket : Buy, Sell, Hold or I Don't Know

Like Sunrise & Sunset, the market shall flow

In February 2009, I wrote that "The markets (Asian markets - East - seem to perform better) had rebounded from their lows and the rebound is based on hope NOT confidence. Its likely that we will see the market testing the lows in the coming months as hope turns hollow."

In March 2009, when market was near the trough, I penned "For cash rich investors and those who needs to deploy their funds, its ideal to 'buy on weakness'; you will be right if you can ride out the crisis and time is on your side."

By June 2009, I chose to " test, the empirical probabilities that :

1) Sentiments dull and stockmarket moves down in, or around, a Lunar Eclipse

2) Sentiments improve and stockmarket moves up in, or around, a Solar Eclipse

Both correlation were proven to be highly correlated.

What's next?

I am only an armchair player and I derive satisfaction in seeing my postulations proven correct.

My take is :

i) The best is behind us; beware of inflation, at best, and, at worst, deflation, going forward.

ii) Between now to Nov 09, trend changes with a 'flip of a coin', that is, volatile. Nobody makes money in a stable market, except stockbrokers, albeit lesser.

iii) The winners must identify trend leaders in pharmaceuticals, natural resources, banks and publishing and gaming.

iv) For those who are game, the 'cheapies' are ideals for RTO and asset-based plays.

Its fun making money but also be ready to empty your wallets if the bets fall on hard grounds. Before I forget, to those who had made good money, spare alittle for charity and the less fortunate.

Social harmony is the stabilizer whichever way the market goes!

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. Giving properly means doing so confidently and without too much encumberments. [Buddha]

“And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. (Luke 11:9-10)

Blissfully Ignorant

Babies enjoy life without worries

Villagers live on their crops and enjoy pollution-free surrounding

Fishermen trawl their catch and bathe in the breeze

The aged worries about their next meal and health

City dwellers worry about their income flows and consistent expenses

The rich worries about their declining wealth

Quality of life starts and blooms with the basics

If we are happy with the basic, quality prevails

Frustration, greed, envy, regrets are subset of the undesirable mind

The mind is menable if we consciously pilot (it) away from the evil half

When the mind runs loose, stability and reasonableness evaporates into thin air

The conscious mind thrive if it remain blissfully ignorant
