I.Q vs A.Q

I.Q = Intelligent Quotient A.Q = Attitude Quotient A Yale University present some years ago gave an advice to a former present of Ohio state: Always be kind to your A and B student. Someday one of them will return to your campus as a good professor. And also be kind to your C students. Someday one of them will return and build a two-million-dollar science laboratory. *** Wow, wOW and WOW! what a powerful speech. There's always hope for those who doesnt do well academically! (but well, please dont use this as a leeway not to work hard!) There is very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. But i feel that this story can bring another message too. Dont just persue life. You may be at the top of everything, i.e. a very successful career, top student in school, ace relationship with family and friends.. but yet, persue the life Giver, who can give you mor...

Attitude

Attitude is really about how a person is. That overflows into how he acts. Here's a story to share... A grandpa and a grandma visit their grandchildren very often. Each afternoon the grandpa will lie down for a nap. One day, as a practical joke, the kids decided to put Limburger cheese in this mustache. Quite soon he awoke sniffing. "Why, this room stinks.." he exclaimed as he got up and went out into the kitchen., He wasnt there long until he decided that the kitchen smelled too, so he walked outdoors for a breathe of fresh air. Much to grandpa's surprise, the open air brought no relief, and he proclaimed, "The whole world stinks" Isnt it so true? We carry "Limburger cheese" in our attitudes, the whole world smells bad. We are individually responsible for our view of life. Truth has contained in the scripture, "For whatever a man sow, he will surely reap". Our attitude toward and action in life help determine what happens to us. Life is ...

Big pockets, small mind

I came across an article yesterday in Her World magazine. Was fuming mad when i read it. How on earth such people exist in here?! Its a long article, but want to blog it out and share with you guys and gals, Please, when you become rich one day, dont become like this.. *** "What rich women do to stay rich" A young woman walks into a high-end boutique and picks up five dresses but pays only for two. Two doors away is her regular jeweller, where she tries on a necklace and matching set of earrings. She pays only for the necklace, and waltzes out the door with the gold and diamond chandelier earrings swinging off her ears. At the makeup counter in the department store, she tries everything, buys nothing, then leaves with a bag full of samples - all in full sizes. Then its off to her plastic surgeon's clinic, where she;s booked for a Botox and microdermabrasion session. She emerges hours later with a fresh new face and no intention of paying for the procedures. "I'll...

无颜的爱

爱,是什么颜色? 浪漫热情的红色? 辛福快乐的黄色? 舒适迷情的橙色? 和谐清澈的禄色? 稳定忠诚的蓝色? 独立奢侈的紫色? 单纯完美的白色? 深而奥秘的黑色? 我说啊。。 爱,是无色。 透而清晰,毫无遐思,100%的纯洁。 让人看得彻底,看得清楚。 就是这样,简简单单。 简单爱。 在为这个blog做些research时,偶然的发现一个网站关于颜色。蛮好的。瞧一瞧! http://www.mariaclaudiacortes.com/colors/Colors.html *** 教我如何去爱你。 我还在学习。

Inspired

Its FOP again. Been a long time since i went for FOP. for the past 3 years, i think? Reached indoor at 6pm, doors has already opened, and the queue was huge. Was directed to the balcony, but managed to find 3 seats on the "T" section. Diagonally from the stage. far far away. But gave up my seat and went to sit with Pascale's friends - Yanqi, Peihua and Poh Lin at the balcony. First time at the balcony. lots of new songs by Hillsong and Delirious. Cant see the screen, cant catch the lyrics. Enjoy though. Atmosphere no good. But the presence of God is there. I can feel it. Strange. haa. Lesson learnt: Atmosphere can be created. Presence cannot. God is real, you cant denied it. After the meeting, met this man, Mr Wilson Tan. His stories are truly inspirational. Saved at the age of 17. By the age of 32, he was a general manager of a American company earning thousands. A man without any degree qualifications. Spectaculated in shares, earned his millions. Couple of millions in...
