2011 - The Year of Spiritual Growth

The past year has taught me the real meaning of "patience". Thanks to you 2010.

Now, my new year's resolution #1 is to grow more spiritually. My meditation experience of 2010 was simply great. I got to reach whole another level of being in touch with myself. However, it's just a beginning... I can't wait to explore more and do my best to develop and grow my spiritual-self. I am excited to see myself in a year!!

I want generate more spiritual energy within myself as I am becoming in better touch with my spiritual-self and ultimately, connect with other spiritual beings out there and regenerate the good/happy/spiritual energy back to universe...

Smile, Kindness and Humility - 3 qualities that I would like to have glued to myself no matter what at all times. Come to me 2011. Let's do this! :) Happy New Year! xxx

Evil....

"...not blindness, but the refusal to see; not ignorance, but the refusal to know."

"The truly and deliberately evil men are a very small minority; it is the appeaser who unleashes them on mankind; it is the appeaser's intellectual abdication that invites them to take over. When a culture's dominant trend is geared to irrationality, the thugs win over the appeasers. When intellectual leaders fail to foster the best in the mixed, unformed, vacillating character of people at large, the thus are sure to bring out the worst. When the ablest men turn into cowards the average men turn into brutes." (Ayn Rand, 1966)

What does it mean to be a good leader?

Best management skills? Best public speaking skills? There are many set of skills a good leader should have but most of all, I say the best leader in any field should be able to bring the best out in people. And, just like true love, it will require patience, compassion and understanding more than anything else to achieve such type of leadership. Perhaps, it's time for the leaders out there and the whole world to be more humanistic. What do you say?

Young Folks- love this song!

"Young Folks"

If i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' 'bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one will surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seems to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going too
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' 'bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you

The courage to follow your heart

""What" and "if"....these two words are not as verbally threatening as they can be, but when they are put together, the story changes. "What if", "what if", I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know the love like Juliet's feels like. Love to leave, love to cross oceans for but I would like to believe that if I ever were to feel it, that I would have courage to seize it. And Clair, if you didn't I hope one day you will...." (Letters to Juliet)

Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love."
