Greatness

In great deed, something abides. On great fields, something stays. Forms change & pass, bodies disappear but spirits linger to consecrate ground for the vision place of the soul. And reverent men & women from afar & generations that know us not & that we know not of, shall come here to ponder & to dream & the power of the vision shall pass into their souls.

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
1828 - 1914

Everything Has a Price Tag, Really.

"Every worthwhile accomplishment has a price tag attached to it. The question is always whether you are willing to pay the price to attain it - in hard work, sacrifice, patience, faith, and endurance."

John C. Maxwell

Kind Words

"Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. Mental trouble was never known to arise from such quarters. Though they do not cost much yet they accomplish much. They make other people good natured. They also produce their own image on men´s souls, and a beautiful image it is."

- Blaise Pascal

Courage to Begin

If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.

iPhone

I finally got my hand on the much talked-about iPhone (8 GB).

.

Price: Not telling (A little give away: Under S$950)

.

Why I go ahead: It has been a long time since I do something foolish. So here is it.

.

I still plan to renew my Starhub contract in 3-mths' time and get a free phone. With the iPhone, I ended up subscribing to the Max-Mobile plan, allowing some kind of GPRS downloads for my financial news & updates (another $10 per month).

.

Still, the new toy kept me busy all weekends. Now I can say that I have a handphone, an iPod, and a mobile computer all-in-one in my hand.

.

So far, I cannot recall who had asked me about it. It must have been a hundred or two...maybe three. After seeing the gadget, they all always have the same reaction: Don't let me see it, ohh...please...any longer & I will want to get it NOW!!!

Steve Job...job well done huh!

Gift of Fantasy

"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge."

- Albert Einstein

Rules?

"There ain't no rules around here!"
