Some words of wisdoms seen in one of my 1000 mails... Simple wisdom yet not many of us have realise it. Sometimes it might be too late after we realised it... Friends have been complain to me that they do not have enough sleep or enough time... busy striving for their career.
Is money really that important in our life? Do we want to be money salves? Think again...
With money, you can buy house but not HOME.
With money, you can buy clock but not TIME.
With money, you can buy bed but not SLEEP.
With money, you can buy book but not KNOWLEDGE.
With money, you can see doctor but not GOOD HEALTH.
With money, you can buy position but not RESPECT.
With money, you can buy blood but not LIFE.
With money, you can buy sex but not LOVE.

Can I trust you?
"Can I trust you?"
I find that this is an interesting question but yet hardly people around us will ask it. If you ever asked this question, no one would ever replied, "No, I can't be trusted." Just like a villain will never say he is bad guy. He will always say he is being forced by circumstances.
We played a simple game called "Can I trust you?" Everyone is holding a red and a blue chip. All you need to do is look at your partner and showed to him one of the chips. The red chip means that you trust him while the blue chip means you don't. At the end of the day, you calculate how many blue and red chips you give and receive.
Although this game is simple but yet it says a lot. From this game, I learnt that not all people, whom you trust, would give you red chips. "Not trustworthy guys" might be someone whom you can trust and "Good guys" end up betrays your trust.
Once you received a blue chip, you could be giving other people blue chips. It means once there is a sense of betrayal, you could have your own defense or maybe you will start to betray the next person who comes along.
Sad to say, that's how corporate life works.
Many a times, it is difficult to tell whether who you can trust. Are you able to tell who are your true friends or your enemies? Especially when you first meet that person, you will not make any assumptions until you get to know that person better.
It's a way of life. Especially in the business world, we have learnt to keeping within our own "boundary", people have become less trusting to other party. Compared to the previous generation, our generation has become more isolated and more individualistic.
Trusting is mutual. It ties strongly back to our own values. It will be painful if everyday we have to guard ourselves from everyone around us.

Legend of the Sea
Before watching, I was looking forward to watch this show, since they make such a big hoo-ha over the radio and tv.
After watching, I'm disappointed with it.
This is the first cartoon movie that makes me want to fall asleep. The storyline is weak therefore having too many S-L-O-W scenes and unnecessary pauses. The dialogue are lame. The songs in the show are mostly out of tune... The characters have no facial expressions at all... The worse part is some characters seems to be "copied" from Disney characters. Where is the CREATIVITY?
The animators just "throw" in whatever animation skills they have, without thinking in depth. We laughed not because it is funny, we laughed because the show is so ridiculously cannot make it...
I know it is not easy to produce 3D animation movie. If you ever watch this "rush work", you will know what i mean...
They are just not there yet.
