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


The person who is willing to say yes to experience is the person who discovers new frontiers - 

Keep your feet on the ground, but let your heart soar as high as it will. ..
If you don't set sail, you will never find new lands
When you try, you either succeed or you gain experiences
Unpolished gems are of low value ; rise and shine for the world is conquered by conquerers, not cowards
Every time some changes, fortunes change too

I was out of job despite all the experiences and qualifications I have and the unending searches I undertook
I live from hand to mouth and managed a tight ship
Nobody is bother with your misfortunes or failures
The world loves a winner
Do not expect sympathy

This world is made for the brave, the 'dares' and the 'undefeatables'
The world of compassion and care is fairy tales in motion
Who dares win
When you made it, you can spare some dimes for the less fortunates
As for now, fighting for survival is a norm
The people at the top are too entrenched in their ivory tower to notice your sufferings

Some day...soon, you will make it
Just try the untracked paths
The discovery is more exciting as victory is sweet
Waiting for charity and help is like sitting at the edge of the desert hoping for a water tank to come by

Go...go for it
Nobody can stop you for achieving more
Tomorrow's never promised, use the best of today
Go..go get it









Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will. Aiden Wilson Tozer

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

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

"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
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  

"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

These will individually goes into labour, not laborers

 
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

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

In GOD we trust

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

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

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.”  ― Stephen King, 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.”  ― J.K. Rowling, 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.”  ― Mahatma Gandhi

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
