What Kind of People Does the World Need?

The World Needs People

-who cannot be bought

-whose word is their bond

-who put character above wealth

-who possess opinions and a will

-who are larger than their vocations

-who do not hesitate to take chances

-who will not lose their individuality in a crowd

-who will be as honest in small things as in great things

-who will not make compromise with wrong

-whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires

-who will not say they do it, “because everyone else does it”

-who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning and heart-headedness are the best qualities for winning success

-who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it’s unpopular

-who can say “no” with emphasis although all the rest of the world says “yes”

Question: Do you think you possess all the desired attributes?

I lack several attributes, one of which is that my ambition is confined to my own desire which is my own happiness, and this happiness of mine is attained by seeing people i love happy. Is it considered selfish?

Well, you know what, PM? It's like each of us is not left with many choices...so it's either you are selfish or selfless...so in this case, you are selfish but then if you devote heart and soul for the world out there, then you are selfless...this is life!!:-)

A stranger within YOU

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually a stranger lurking somewhere inside you? Maybe it sounds really mental and freaking weird here. But I really can’t help brooding over this. And the more I think of it, the more it becomes crystal clear it is indeed true that a stranger is actually living my life, a stranger who has eaten up half of my real “self”, shrouding me with a totally new cover to form a person I hardly recognize. There are times when I feel really happy, but why in God’s name do I look far from happy? It is at this point that people view me in a rather negative light. Even so, the last thing I ever wish to do is, of course, to blame them. I am more than sure that they will never be able to understand me. And then there are other times when I wish more than anything to become very close to certain people. However, my attitudes towards them betray me.

Such a someone deserves attention too! Happy St. Valentine's Day! Make the best out of today!

I got this pic from Mov's facebook profile. Oh man!!! This pic is almost as old as our friendship. We were small and innocent and pretty carefree back then. If i am not mistaken, the pic was taken during our field trip to the Science Center, and those so many energetic young faces you are staring at were scholars from most of the ASEAN countries. Nostalgic indeed!!! Too bad that we have lost touch for quite some time now, and i have no idea what most of them are up to now. Loads of thanks to Mov, without whom i would not have had a chance to get hold of this priceless pic. At least in those many years ahead, i have got a pic of everyone smiling at hand, to which i can always refer for recalling sake.
