Of Zhuang Zi (莊周 aka 莊子 aka 庄子), Lao Zi (老子), Mencius (孟子) and Confucius (孔丘 aka 孔夫子 aka 孔子)

In ancient China, way before birth of Christ, there were a handful of great philosophers like Lao Zi (老子) born 600 BC, Confucius (孔丘 aka 孔夫子 aka 孔子) born 551 BC, Mencius (孟子) born 372/385 BC and Zhuang Zi (莊周 aka 莊子 aka 庄子) born 369 BC.

Lao Zi (老子) is believed to have spread the teaching of Tao Te Ching, the basis of Taoism which was later branched into modern day Taoism. Confucius (孔丘 aka 孔夫子 aka 孔子) spread the teaching of Confucianism which emphasized on moral teaching, social relationship, justice and sincerity.

These are the foundation of self actualization which we are desperately seeking in modern day. Instead, nowadays, people are overly concerned about personal success, process of eliminating your competitors and manipulation of other human beings.

While committing all these evil deeds, we still we a mask of deception and preach about love and well being, sinisterly hiding evil intent with an angel's smile. LOL

Days after Fukushima

It is in my most humble opinion that the Government shall consider the option of recruiting Foreign talents in these areas as some of the entrepreneurs who lost everything through the multitude of disasters that happened recently. Some of these people are more talented than those ministers who are currently working in the ministries.

Some of them has lost their homes and family. A helping hand from a kind and generous government will further attract more talents instead of those NOT SO TALENTED who are only out to live like a parasite among the society.

TRAIN SURFING??? MADNESS!!!

Move aside Sky Diving, Here comes Space Diving!

Here, one can travel at high velocity. Here come the future of Extreme Sports!

Food for thought

If all the countries in this world practice the current ENERGY CONSERVANCY PROGRAM that is being implemented in Japan, the world can reduce CO emission and the HOLE in the atmosphere can be saved.

Therefore I propose the Singapore Government to take the initiative in this area. Then we can have more OFF DAYS. LOL!

A Poker Game

Life is like a game of Poker. Sometime we are dealt with a good hand while most of the time we are not. Some may admire those who are constantly having a good hand while others may just envies.

We are constantly thinking what hands the others are having. Therefore we are constantly guessing others' thought and behavior. In order to win their monies, some of us may resort to use "scare tactics" while others may use cons, scams and cheats.

The most difficult part of this game is to identify a liar, which is why we are living in a chaotic world full of liars, cheats and cons (Look at Baring Bank and Asia Breweries).

Only the wise will use wisdom (taking calculated risks) to truly win this game.
