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.

Ingenuity

"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."

- George S. Patton

距离

歌曲:距离
歌手:林俊杰
专辑:第二天堂

在距离三公里的位置
我在这里
想像心中的你的呼吸

同样的熄着灯的窗子
你在那里
听不到我呼吸着分离

我走向前
你看不见
真的遥远
就连叹息影子听见
也是无言

你走向前
我看不见
你的思念
你和我之间
刻着一条界线
不曾有改变

保留着三公分的距离
我的眼里
填满着整个我爱的你

坐在同一张四方桌子边
你的眼里
读不到眷着我的讯息

当爱离开之前
能多苦
能多深
能多甜
距离是你走过我身边

My First Successful eBay Deal!


Bidded. Collected. Paid. Checked. Tested. Satisfied?
Okay, I must admit I was a little surprise to win the bid. But you will agree with me that no matter how cheap you got your stuff, you will never really know how good the deal is until you tested the goods.
So here I was. Went down to Marina Bay Golf Club and get a few swings....and I was amazed!!! The driver worked well. Not bad for a $50 deal, yeah!

Conceptualize Your Purpose

Conceptualize Your Purpose
(by Mark Victor Hansen)

What were you put on earth to do? That's a mind-blowing question, because most people don't know the answer. Lots of folks get up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, sit in front of the television and go to sleep. That´s their day. That is not anyone's purpose in life. That's not a life at all.

Don't get me wrong – I'm not throwing blame or fault. In most cases, they probably don't know any better. This was how their parents lived each day; this was how they grew up. Maybe they think this is it – this is all life has to offer.

Well, I'm here to sound the wake-up call.

There's a great scene in the movie "The Matrix" between Morpheus, a mentor, and Neo, his student. Neo has just woken up and discovered that what he thought was reality was just a world 'that had been pulled over his eyes to shield him from the truth.' Morpheus wants Neo to let go of what he used to think of as "reality," his mundane, day-to-day existence, where his true purpose was neither recognized nor realized. I want you to create a new world, a new reality, where you recognize that you have a purpose for being on this planet, and realize that your purpose is waiting for you to figure it out.

If you don't know your purpose, then your first purpose is to get a purpose.

When you look at the lives of the most successful people who ever lived, you can see that they had a definite purpose and they knew it. Some examples are: Christ – His purpose was spiritual, and stated in John 10:10, which reads: "...I am come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly."

Walt Disney's purpose: "To make people happy."

Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller's purpose: "Humanity's comprehensive welfare on spaceship earth."

Henry Ford's purpose: "To mass produce, mass distribute and have cars mass consumed."

Andrew Carnegie's purpose: "To manufacture and market steel."

Mother Teresa's purpose: "To care for and comfort the poor, sick and needy all over the world."

I don't want you to confuse a purpose with a goal. Goals are great! I teach goal setting, and believe it is crucial to achieving any kind of success. But goals alone, left by themselves, can be indiscriminate and undirected. We can have hundreds of goals (and I hope you do), but we may only have one purpose that we work for our entire life. That purpose should be the underlying core that gives our goals direction and meaning.

Discovering your purpose will put your life into crystal-clear perspective. You won't see the world you once knew. You will see another world, one in which you are a necessary and intricate spoke in the wheel.

The saddest places on earth are graveyards. Not because people are buried there, but because dreams, talents and purposes that never came to fruition are buried there. Graveyards are filled with books that were never written, songs that were never sung, words that were never spoken, things that were never done.

You have talents and gifts that no one else can offer. There are things you can do that no one else is capable of doing quite the way YOU can do them. Don't rob this earth of your purpose by taking it to the grave with you. You see, we all have a purpose, a reason for living, breathing and existing.

We all have unique talents and gifts that were created and given to us to be shared. Our task is to understand this and figure out what our purpose is. We owe it to the Universe AND to ourselves!

"You will become as small as your controlling desire, or as great as your dominant aspiration."

Innovation & Wealth

"Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth."

- Peter F. Drucker

断了的弦

歌曲:断了的弦
歌手:周杰伦
专辑:寻找周杰伦

断了的弦
再怎么连
我的感觉
你已听不见
你的转变
像断掉的弦
再怎么接音都不对
你的改变我能够分辨

我沉默你的话也不多
我们之间
少了什么不说
哎哟我笑后
表情终于有点难过 (握着你的手)
问你决定了再走

我突然释怀的笑
笑声盘旋半山腰
随风在飘摇啊摇
来到你的面前绕
你泪水往下的掉
说会记住我的好
我也弯着我嘴角笑

你的美
已经给了谁
追了又追
我要不回
我了解离开树的叶
属于地上的世界凋谢

断了的弦
再弹一遍
我的世界
你不在里面
我的指尖
已经弹出茧
还是无法
留你在我身边

断了的弦
再怎么连
我的感觉
你已听不见
你的转变
像断掉的弦
再怎么接音都不对
你的改变
我能够分辨

A Little Secret

I just make a pact with God. I have decided to LDTP. I felt so good after surrendering this part of my struggle to Him. I finally understood what AGAPE really meant. Looking back, there are people who love me unconditionally, and they are still doing that. I am thankful.

You see, I always felt I don't deserve this and I don't deserve that ... since young. In part I was right. None of us really deserve all that God has intended for us, after commiting cosmic treason against the Almighty. But in His AGAPE love, all sins are write-offs at the cross.

So, I have decided that:

1. I will never never seek divorce. It has been and will always be "till death do us part".

2. Loving unconditionally is my re-pledge.

3. You can give me pain, more pain, and ultimate pain. My response will be love, more love, and ultimate love.

Remember: When evil abounds, grace abounds ALL the more!

This day, I've made a pact with God. It's our little secret.
