Quotes that Accompanied My Adolescence
 |
| The first quote was my hand-writing, that I derived from a F5 Chinese Language text book. The second piece of paper that contains two wonderful quotes was cut out from an exercise book. |

您的目的是把未来过好
有些人活在过去，经常与人叙述自己过去多么棒，成绩名列前茅，进了名牌大学，或提及当年勇。可惜您不能用过去辉煌的成就来表彰您的未来。
你做错了很多事情，过去有很多的沮丧，那又怎样？后悔也已经无用无补。
你的目的是把握今天的机会，把未来过好。
与您共勉之。

四大皆空 黃明志/龔柯允
Open your eyes y'all
睜開你們的眼睛!
This is a wake up call !
聽清楚這首歌!
For those ignorant people of the world
我要獻給自以為是的人類
打開報紙 又是一堆殺人放火
Another tragedy headlining the news today
又是吵架 面紅耳赤你爭我奪
People fighting each other to get ahead
又是政客 在胡言亂語show off (Diam lah!)
People playing politics to misleading the people (Shut up!)
又是明星 在絞盡腦汁炒作 (Oh please loh!)
Celebrities making up gossips for fame (Oh come on!)
每個人 都想展現自己與眾不同
Everyone thinking they deserve to be special
誘惑太多 榮華富貴怎樣 都不夠
Lustful thoughts out to get you at every turn
來繼續墮落 快來繼續賣弄
Keep showing off your material wealth
你還有什麼 你還想證明什麼
So what else do you wanna prove here?
你說你 能征服所有一切 當你擁有一切
You keep asking for more in life
你卻從不自覺
But do not know when to stop
你說你 能面對所有困難 所有的困難
You said you can face all the hardship
都是過眼雲煙
Easy come easy go
你說人定勝天 水來土淹
You think mankind can overcome nature
如果天 塌下來你會把它當棉被
No trouble is too much trouble
哈哈 有一天 可能就在今夜
But when the boogeyman comes knocking
山崩地裂 你也只能躲在棉被
Times up and there will be nowhere else to hide
We're nothing at all We've got nothing at all
我們一無是處 我們一無所有
When you're trying hard to be king of the world
但我們卻貪得無厭 自以為是
We're nothing at all We've got nothing at all
我們一無是處 我們一無所有
Can't you see that we're only hurting this world？
卻不斷的傷害這個世界
劫 是逃不過的劫 是老天在發洩
Our path leading to a dead end we cannot escape
還是大地在埋怨
Our destiny written long before we set foot on earth
埋怨人類做的一切 是時候做個了結
Karma awaits and time to face the music
它一步一步 來摧毀一處一處
One by one we suffer the same fate
你只能痛哭 只能痛苦
You can only cry out loud
只能對著屍體 來表現你的無助
Staring at the lifeless body of your love ones
你的車 你的名牌 你的錢 你的房子
All your materialistic belongings
會在災難中化為一片泥土
Turning into waste when disaster come claiming
流著淚 望著天 等著判決
We wait for our sentence on judgment day
排著隊 等著灰飛煙滅
The door at hell's gate soon opens
世界末日會在明天? 還是明天後的明天?
Will the world finally ends tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?
閉上眼 睜開眼 剎那之間
In the blink of an eye
一瞬間 變成了 一萬年
The clock could turn back a million years
廢墟中找尋不到 記憶裡幸福的家園
Happiness no longer exist in what we used to call home
We're nothing at all We've got nothing at all
我們一無是處 我們一無所有
When you're trying hard to be king of the world
但我們卻貪得無厭 自以為是
We're nothing at all We've got nothing at all
我們一無是處 我們一無所有
Can't you see that we're only hurting this world？
卻不斷的傷害這個世界
Can I catch my breath Before I say 'i love you'
在說愛你之前 我能不能夠吸一口氣?
Can we kiss again under the poison rainfall?
不如在"毒雨"下 來個浪漫的擁吻?
Can I hold you tight Until tomorrow?
睡覺的時候 讓我一直抱著你到明天?
Or tomorrow ...There'll never be tomorrow ...
但是明天... 或許已經沒有明天了...
看見災難很驚世 它有什麼樣的警示
So what have we learned from the misfortunes of others
還是 你只是看看電視 不關你的事
Or it's good entertainment cos it's not in your backyard
繼續放肆 繼續無恥 做你以為對的事
So continue living your own irresponsible and ignorant life
犯了一生的罪 沾了一身的穢 然後再濫用宗教信仰脫罪
Feed your guilty conscience by abusing your god's forgiveness
天蓋之下 地載之上 一群無知的人類
Between heaven and earth lies a lost species
以為出類拔萃 都在自我陶醉
Thinking that this can last forever but they're wrong
We're nothing at all We've got nothing at all
我們一無是處 我們一無所有
When you're trying hard to be king of the world
但我們卻貪得無厭 自以為是
We're nothing at all We've got nothing at all
我們一無是處 我們一無所有
Can't you see that we're only hurting this world？
卻不斷的傷害這個世界

Plan B, C, D ... Z = Achieving Plan A
Yesterday,
I was asked by a person to share my future planning after graduation. So, I
went on explaining what and how I could realize each plan, in macro
perspective. Then, he asked me if my plans were fail, what would I do? At that
point of time, I couldn’t think of anything else, but only to achieve my plan.
So, I said this while smiling all the way, “My plan B is to find ways to
achieve my initial plan.” Then, he knew the power of a dream, once on, will
instill tremendous willpowers & faith in oneself. You’ll never get to
understand the meaning of “tiredness”.

Organization is Like a Parallel Circuit
Organization is like a parallel circuit. Each branch is akin to departments in a company/organization. Imagine below:
Voltage = Organization's vision
Current = Resources (for example, money)
Resistance = Talent
Justification to the analogy above:
in a parallel circuit, all voltage is equal in each branch, this means all of the departmental directions should be aligned to one common organization's vision, and JUST ONE. Voltage has another term to describe itself, it's called potential difference. Well, we know that, electrons must be acted on a potential difference so that they could drift from one end to another end. So, potential difference (p.d) or voltage is comparable to a vision that drive everyone to move towards one direction! Justified?
It seems like resistance can hardly be understood as talents, because the norm suggests that talents are the movers, change agents or doer in a company. However, in this context, we view every human as trouble-maker, anchoring on a philosophy "where there are human, there are problems". On the other hand, talents can be both a problem solvers and problem makers, depending on its "magnitude of resistance". Generally, you can assume, people of lower resistance as problem solvers whereas people of higher resistance as problem maker. In each branch is also another set of series circuit, where the capability of a department is measured in terms of its "resistance" of each talented individual. Sounds logical to you?
Current, is rather a response to the arrangement of Resistors in the overall parallel circuit. This means, if you have high value of resistance, you take in more resource (current), with regard to Ohm's Law. Think about it, efficient people takes in little resources to accomplish the same task as compared to his less efficient counterpart. So, you will notice that larger current is being passed when going across a resistor, because efficient people don't need much resources. And the opposite is true as well. So, back to the previous point, arrangement of your people in a team comes rather important =)
Lastly, if the the combination of resistance is not right, you may not get the right "value of voltage", so, it seems to me that voltage can be seen as the measure of success (MoS) of an organization or a company. Talent is always the problem. It's always worth the time, efforts and energy to really think about which talents to be absorbed into your organization or a company, if you really want to achieve great success.
Happy Wednesday =)

Sharing My Happiness with My Mum Instantly
After getting to know that I am shortlisted to proceed to the next round of Iskandar Malaysia Case Challenge 2013 organized by Frost & Sullivan Consultancy company, I am immensely happy. Instantly, I shared this joyous news with my mum. Called up her, but she didn't pick up, I suppose she's busy working now.
I've spent considerable time in preparing for this challenge. For 5 nights in a row, I didn't sleep well, skipped classes, putting my thesis aside, my laptop was also not switched off just to keep pace with me.
While many are still studying hard, I joined some unconventional contest that could offer me employment opportunity and even rewards if I were to be in the TOP 25, and now I am in, TOP 25, next is to aim for TOP 3 =)
Thank you, my friends who have been constantly supporting me, and I want to especially thank Nancy Gan (who gave me feedback on my ideas & slides), Wei Ken (who willing to spend time discussing the realities in JB since he is from there), Chee Kien (who has been a good brother to me since 1st year) and many more others who were simply amazing. Wish me luck =)

不是你的，就别再勉强
笑着掉泪
无法诚实地、一五一十地
跟她交代我俩的事
可能我真的害怕说出自己多么地难堪
说了反倒伤害她的玻璃心
我也看了她的部落格一遍，
偶尔看她的面子书
也不是刻意想去看（就刚刚好她的旅游照片拍得挺不错，最终给了其中唯一一张照片一个Like）
知道她过得愈来愈好
我也很开心
（其实，我才明白，在感情里，看到别人开心自己变得更加开心，有时未必是一种伟大的表现，而是纯粹成功去除了心中内疚感的快乐）
我想
她也选对的时间和我说明
长痛不如短痛
痛完后
庆幸她可以去旅游散散心
我没挽回她
即使办到了
也只是一种坚持
她也可能会回来（如果我挽回）
但她可能也只是想袮补她不在我身旁的日子
恐怕我俩再给一段不值得的感情多一次
太宝贵的机会
我也可能自私了
看不到俩人会有什么未来
不是距离的问题，从来不是！
是心的距离的问题
不是诗情画意
而是真真实实的
心的距离问题
你或许读着
不要担心
你是一位很好的人
我还想说
你越来越漂亮。
我要谢谢她
成为了我的镜子
透过她，我渐渐地明白自己
下一次感情
但愿她找到的是
【爱】她的人
不是【条件】好的人
找到的是真正的【男人】
而不是依赖性强的【男孩】
一年半的感情
放了不会遗憾
只因为明白了

Do Not Give in to Ego
How many times one fails too often because of the same mistake, that is giving in to one's ego?
How many people choose to defend their own standpoint out of ego, subsequently succumb to total failure as people right their wrong. If they stubbornly persist, you will find these people are one of the loneliest groups in the world.
How many seemingly great individuals work for fame and ruin their virtues, unknowingly, until the moment they realized they have lost precious people close to them?
I admit that myself too, do have some egos in me, fortunately, I made countless, continuous reflections daily along the journey, so I am very sure of what I am thinking, what has prompted me to make certain decisions.
Ego, itself is a very evil thing. It permeates into your thought without you even knowing it, then slowly it blurs your vision, poison your thoughts and potentially destroy the positive rapport you built earlier with people whom you care.
As I examine my own thought pattern, as well as observing the mannerism of people around me, I often spotted one flaw, they tend to inflate themselves by telling the world how great they are. Don't you realize it when you say you have achieve that and that on Facebook is also a manifestation of ego. (In fact, the reason why Facebook is so hugely successful is because it plays into our ego so well. Examine yourself WHY you posted certain things other than just plain reason of expressing yourself. No offense, you posted something because you wanted to be known, you wanted your friends to be happy for your achievement, and E.T.C reasons)
But all these very people who I categorize them as egoistic, they are not necessary bad people, but the opposite is rather more accurate. They have ambitions, dreams, desires (in Buddhism, we call these as attachment, but let alone Buddhism this time). They want to achieve some GREAT GOOD for mankind, at the same time, they want everybody knows about how great they are. Most of the people profess even before achieving great good for his family or even to himself. Like it or not, these very people could be your best friend, your snobbish lecturer, the list goes on and on.
I am not here to point out others' flaw, I am here to remind myself and my dear readers, do not give in to EGO. Observe your thought pattern, and be very careful in picking the RIGHT thought so as not to let EGO prevails against you.
Note to self: Achieve great good for mankind and have nobody knew it except myself.
Cheers! =)

Departure of Another Partner
Haiz... failed to retain another potential person in Deli-Deli. Talent is a problem, I myself have a problem?
