They’re written by Andy Rooney, a man who has the gift of saying so much with so few words. It so happen that it landed on my mailbox, forwarded by someone. Enjoy reading. I’ve learned…. That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person. I’ve learned…. That when you’re in love, it shows. I’ve learned…. That just one person saying...

I was in the MRT this morning and the boy sitting beside me was listening to his iPhone music. It was too loud for me to hear the songs he’s playing. The thought that this boy have problem with his ears came to my mind. Why would I care, he’s the one listening to it not me. He was listening to an old song sang by Ricky Martin entitled “Livin La Vida Loca”. I’m familiar with this song as...

For years, I’ve been spending my money and time acquiring things which I believe an asset. I guess most of the populations are also doing the same, busy acquiring things which they think as an asset and could make a very good investment. All this have changed after I read books by Robert Kiyosaki, the famous author of books Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant. I began to realize the mistakes...

It all started when I purchased an online course last January. It was entitled Magnetic Sponsoring by a famous online entrepreneur and mentor, Mike Dillard. I paid around US$56 but it’s the best thing that I’ve ever invested with my money. It was very enlightening and affected me much the way I am today. Even if it costs more than a thousand dollars, I’ll surely find a way to purchase it. The...

I have a Psychology class when I was in college. My teacher that time was my favorite because the class is new to me and I learned a lot of things about human behavior.

These towers have to be built on our foundation to strengthen us in living...

Last month I watched the movie Clash of the Titans starring all those Greek Gods and Godesses. Greek Mythology is one of my favorite subject during my high school days so I was tempted to watch it. One of the characters there is the Kraken, a legendary beast that seems invincible. Even the Gods and Godesses fear its power. They threaten the people of unleashing the monster to wreak havoc and punish...

There are times in our life, that we may feel we are left alone and being pushed hard by whatever circumstances in life. For some, they use this moment to make them stronger, wiser and better person. But for some, they didn’t fight back. They just accept the reality and concede on the great defeat. These are the people who will not be successful in life. Success is a series of failures that we need...

Few months ago, I had a scholarship program for our high school alma mater. Having the connection and list of my online schoolmates, I do the initiative to inform them and ask for their assistance and support. It is not my attitude to solicit, but for this noble cause, I swallow my pride and send email to them. Days later, I started to receive reply from them pledging their support, and I was very...

I grew up without my parents beside me. My mom passed away when I was 3 years old and my dad was always busy out of town doing his job. I have a very low self esteem and I never thought I can survive life’s trials and adversities. Most of the time, I was left deciding for myself and do what for me is the right thing to do. In the process, I started to build confidence and trust in myself especially...

Many of us associate the terms self discipline with images ranging from a grocery list to managing a giant construction project to memories of Mom and Dad trying to get us to conform to the norms of society.
