Something to ponder - PASSION is the key

For those looking for a job change or fresh grad looking for a job, this article is a good read. Even if you are reading just for fun.

"You can always quit and do something else. Its a choice you make or a choice made for you". Think about it! :)

For me, I would find a job that i love to do all the time. A job that I am passionate about, always talk about, and cant live without it (or am i too serious? why not rite :D).

There are some things which we learn only by observation.


Excerpts from:
Up close and personal with Tan Sri Lin See-Yan

He wants to make the most of living. He has trained himself to sleep three to four hours and to finish a book within the same amount of time.

“Why do I want to sleep my life away? If I am lucky, perhaps I’ll live another 15 to 20 years. Our mind is a very powerful tool.”

“Just having an interest is not enough. Interest dies after a while. So in all that we do, there must be passion and confidence in your ability and discipline.

“So many things are new to me. Technology today is moving so fast but I learn. There must be an eagerness to learn, in order for the mind to remain bright. Before you know it, a year is gone,” says Lin.

“How many will agree to say, if you get profits of so much, I get paid (for the board work). Therefore, although I am not paid, I learn a lot. There are some things which we learn only by observation. Tun Ismail taught me that.

“If I sit on a board and it bores me, I quit. Passion is so important because you have to understand the frustration you go through. If you don’t have passion in what you do, it will never happen and things become wishy-washy.

That’s what economics taught me. You live within constraints, or you will be a complainer all the time. It is a choice you make or a choice made for you. You can always quit and do something else.”

Quotes by Benjamin Franklin Part 1

I like short yet say-a-lot, truthful quotes. Its easy to remember, understand and learn but hard to implement/live on them. Try to live by them day by day. Make it a habit. "You are never too young to learn good habits and never too old to change bad habits."

Here are some of them.

Simple yet meaningful, great quotes by Benjamin Franklin:

“If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”

"He that lives upon hope will die fasting."

"Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship."

“You may delay, but time will not.”

"Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today."

"Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none."

"Whatever is begun in anger, ends in shame."

"Well done, is better than well said."

"Diligence is the mother of good luck."

How 2 measure life?

Life is not measured by how much money you have/earn, but by how much love you get/give.

A Christmas Carol - My Entry

"Jim Carrey" - I think this guy is really funny and talented. He's one of my favorite actors. Lets see whether I can get tickets from Nuffnang to watch his new movie. :)


What would your Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come tell you if you’re visited by them?

They all will tell me the same thing.

“In life, you have to work hard to get what you want. Everyone gets what they deserve in the end. There is no such thing as fast money (fast money = fast mati). If you live life long enough, you will know what I meant. By the way, here’s your present. Sometimes in life you will get some surprises. You just have to make sure that you cope well with bad/not-so-good surprises. Till we meet again. Good luck!” :)
