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

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
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
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

That's only as true as can be, provided he is fairly healthy and mobile

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

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

"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

"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

Leaders think and talk about the solutions. Followers think and talk about the problems. – Brian Tracy
Let there be equality and a narrowing of the Gini Coefficient
