2015 December

Honesty is a very expensive gift, don't expect it from cheap people. - Warren Buffet

The best teamwork is a cohesion of independent people working to achieve a common goal.
- Ronald Teo March 2015

If I had more time, it would be shorter.

Rapport is the ultimate tool for getting results with people.

Respect everyone's right to be different.

Trials and tribulations make life meaningful.

Minds are like parachutes they function best when open. - Thomas Dewar

To be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. 

It's never to late to be what you might have been. - George Eliot

People see God everyday, they just don't recognise him. - Pearly Bailey

The greatest glory in living, lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. 
- Mandala  Nelson

For every minute we are angry, we lose 60 seconds of happiness.

Tolerance does not mean that one embraces every idea or view but that one does not get angry at what one cannot accept.


Faith

Faith is a gift from God...
Before this faith can be exercised, man must have the grace of God to move and assist him; he must have the interior helps of the Holy Spirit, who makes the heart and makes it easy for all to accept and believe the truth.

Do our need to find lasting relieve from recurrent discontent rob us of happiness and leave us in strife?


Four Noble Truths 

1.  All beings, human & otherwise are afflicted with all sorts of disappointments; sadness, discomfort, anxiety, etc.
- They are subject to suffering -

2.  The cause of this suffering is craving, born of illusion of a soul.

3.  Suffering has a final end in the experience of Enlightenment (Nibbana) which is the complete letting go of the illusion of 'soul' and the consequent ending of ill will.

4.  This peaceful and blissful enlightenment is achieved through a gradual training, a path called the middle way or the eightfold path.
