"The consequence of living our lives at warp speed is that we rarely take time to reflect on what we value most deeply or to keep these priorities front and center. Most of us spend more time reacting to immediate crises and responding to expectations from others than we do making considered choices guided by what matters most to us." --Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz, The Power Of Full Engagement "A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is ultimately to be at peace with himself." --Glenn Close "Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, "This is the real me," and when you have found that attitude, follow it." --William James

"Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver." --Barbara De Angelis "A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is ultimately to be at peace with himself." --Abraham Maslow "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." --Mark Twain

Well today is finally my last day in my office. How does it feel to part with something that has been a part of life for the past 18 years? I have a sinking feeling feeling in my stomach and I am thinking to myself, 18 years of my life was wasted on a company that doesn't give a damn whether you exist or not. I have handed over my files and in the afternoon would be handing over my phone SIM card and my Toyota HiLux. Does it have to end this way? I have made millions for the company and the sort of gratitude that is shown here, my advice to others is ....detach yourself from the company as everything boils down to money and if you have found a better offer or if you feel that the company doesn't care for you, then leave and jump to a company that offers you better working atmosphere. Loyality doesn't pay these days and see what the other side is offering you and you make the best out of it. Tomorrow I will drive down to the Southern State of Johor to start work and it...

Time just flies and it was just like yesterday that I joined my company. But as the saying goes, "All good things must come to an end", so my marriage with my company has come to the end of the road. Well don't get me wrong, the rule applies to other stuff besides marriage (I am happily married for the past 25 years). I was very reluctant to hand over my resignation but with the change of management in my company and the shift from our core competency, I think it was time for me to move along. Like what M. K. Gandhi had said, "If you can't change the World, then you have to change yourself". So why should I go against the flow, best thing that I can do is look for another river. In this modern day, loyalty does not exist and I know how hard I worked making money for the company and had completed some of the prestigious projects for them and in the end it all boils down to dollar and cents. Maybe they feel that I am a liability as over the years I have worked...

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." --Patanjali "You will recognize your own path when you come upon it, because you will suddenly have all the energy and imagination you will ever need." --Jerry Gillies "Wise and strong is he who leaves his heart open and searches without fear." --The Monna

By LEE CHILD SHE was about 19. No older. Maybe younger. An insurance company would have given her 60 more years to live. I figured a more accurate projection was 36 hours, or 36 minutes if things went wrong from the get-go. She was blond and blue-eyed, but not American. American girls have a glow, a smoothness, from many generations of plenty. This girl was different. Her ancestors had known hardship and fear. That inheritance was in her face and her movements. Her eyes were wary. Her body was lean. Not the kind of lean you get from a diet, but the Darwinian kind of lean you get when your grandparents had no food — and either starved or didn’t. Her movements were fragile and tense, a little alert, a little nervous, though on the face of it she was having as good a time as a girl could get. She was in a New York bar, drinking beer, listening to a band, and she was in love with the guitar player. That was clear. The part of her gaze that wasn’t wary was filled with adorati...

"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were." --Kahlil Gibran "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.
