King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Overcoming FEAR! by Dale Carnegie
Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so.
For remember: Fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.

Prediction vs Knowledge
I think it is appropriate to remind ourselves of these words of Lao Tzu (the sixth-century Chinese Sage):
“Those who have knowledge, don’t predict.
Those who predict, don’t have knowledge.”
It is so true, especially for the market watchers. Develop a keen mind and a sound knowledge of the market is one of the many ways to stay ahead, afloat and alive with your investment. Predictive measures can only bring us that far.
And always remember: Knowledge without Action is Cold & Useless Information!
“Those who have knowledge, don’t predict.

Blaze Your Own Trail!
“Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

Stay Vigilant!
"After Victory, Tighten Your Helmet Cord."- An ancient Samurai maxim
This is what Ishida Mitsunari, a samurai leader, told his victorious army after the battle of Sekigahara, a landmark event that brought an end to centuries of civil war.
The saying's meaning is simple:
Just because you won today, it doesn't prevent a new challenge from arising tomorrow.
Be vigilant.
Be alert.
Be watchful.
National Day Song for Everyone
Count Money, Singapore (Tune : Count On Me Singapore)
We have a revision of pay tomorrow
Just release, just release
We have a poorer Singapore
We won't receive, we won't receive
You and me, we have to part
With our GST for a start
We have to show the world that we take less money
We won't receive, we won't receive
There is nothing down the road that we can look for
We were told a dream that we could never try for
There's a spirit in the air
That seven month feelings we all share
We're gonna build a better after-life for you and me
We were deceived, we were deceived
Count money, Singapore; Count money, Singapore
Count on me to give my salary and more
Count money, Singapore
You and me, we'll do our part,
Give our kidneys and our hearts
We're gonna show the world how to GIRO our body
We can't resist, we can't resist
Count money, Singapore; Count money, Singapore
Count on me to give my life and more
Count money, Singapore
We can resist together Singapore; Vote wisely eight years more
We can resist together Singapore; Vote wisely eight years more
We can resist together Singapore
Count on me to give my vote and more
Together Singapore, Singapore (3 TIMES)
