The Rules of………

i have read quite a number of self-enrichement books over the years. there is this particular author by the name of Richard Templar who wrote several book of rules which i enjoyed reading. I owned three of his books so far. ‘Rules of Management’, ‘Rules of Work’ and ‘Rules of Wealth’. The book that i am currently reading is the latter, ‘rules of wealth’. I will share some of his quotes or excerpts that are worth taking note of. The first one :

“we all spend on what we think will satisfy us, make us happy. Sometimes it’s very simple: we have a dream and need the money to fulfill it. The dream comes first.”

more to come…..

risk

after 3 yrs, my passion and drive in chasing the dream is as strong as ever or perhaps crazier. I took the risk. A huge one which includes forgoing my degree programme at the moment. I will just have to hope and pray for the best. I believe that  I have to do something bout this agony.  and i just couldnt afford to just sit there doing nth hoping for things to put in place. a miracle in fact. Although it cost me $$$$.  i signed it up without much hesitation .Its either make or break.

i can feel it. i have already taken the first step and the last step will be the time when i crossed that finishing line. Many people failed because they stop chasing the dream. U have to finish the race to complete the race.

i believe i have recovered.

give me one year.

i find it hard to take….

Mad World
Gary Jules (cover of Tears for Fears)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very
Mad World
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very

i myself was stopped for 2 or three times by the transit personnel on different occasions at the bt batok mrt. do i look like a terrorist? or whatever shit they wanna tink of me. i OPENED my bag to let him check and after a merely few seconds without scanning thru my bag, he told me i can go! what is e point jus LOOKING into a bag without scanning and serarching for any IED or weapons.?
