move beyond limits
recently there has been lots of world records that have been broken in the olympics and some may ask if there is any limit to human potential? So it has shown that people has limitless power and potential.. just look at phelps and usain bolt.. they have done impossible by another... but this is not all till my friend introduce me to this 2 person.. dick and rick hoyt..
rick hoyt is the son of dick hoyt.. rick hoyt is born with the umbilical cord strap around the neck and nearly died due to lack of oxygen... however.. due to it he has body defects that he can't walk or talk... he is just like a vegetable... however.. dick and his wife still persist to bring tis kid up... then one day... rick got a machine that can help him talk... by means of some physics tinggg... dun get how people do it... and he went to school and even got a degree from BOSTON UNIVERSITY!! just tink of it... a normal person like me is sitting here tinking of how to get into uni... he is already in there and got a degree.. This is not all.. in school he learn of a race for the disabled and he asked his father to join... so since rick cant run... dick has to carry him on his wheelchair and wheel him through the whole distance.. and tis is not all... dick has just got a heart attack a month ago before the race... but he still said yes... OMG! runing 5 km with heart problem.... i can tink when i am panting how much i am complaining... but he still wants to run for his son... even it might cost his life.. they have runned 90 over races... 50 over marathon and even the IRON MAN... this is how much a human can go... how much a father can go for his son...
love can make a person do anything for anyone... without boundaries and wittout condition... this is just a case..

quotes..
each choice we make causes a ripple effect in our life.
when things happen to us, it is the reaction we choose that can create the difference
between the sorrow of our past and joy in the future......

Change the way you see everything
tis is a book i read... and i find it very interesting... it is called change the way you see everyting..
wat was focused is asset based thinking or abt in short... let me start with this quote..
"when you change the way you see things, the things you see will change.. "
1st part... just tink of this 3 tings.. if you focus your attention on
1) opportunities rather than problem
2) Strengths than weakness
3) what can be done instead of wat can't
ABT helps change your view of things, your life... it also helps focus on opportunities.. and solve problems in a proactive, efficient way.
Imagine you are hit with a project due ytd... if you say OMG! nt possible... or just jump in and do it... which one will benefit more?
start with changing your view in the way you see urself... then others.. then situations... u will realise tt u can be a much more efficient person... solving problems... and everyting arnd u would be in the correct mode..
How to view yourself.. focus wat's your best and think wat's next.. always when faced with problem... tink of wat u are best at.. wat's ur asset.. and use it to solve ur problem... use your asset as the ting tt push you toward your desire... and here... i am goin to say.. use ur desire and use ur asset together to achieve ur goals... they push u near it... naturally u will focus on how to do it.. and not how i cannot do it...
how to view the ppl around u.. use your postive filters.. tink of wat is positive abt the other person when u c them... tis create a connection btw the bth of u all.. the other person dun feel any harm... and will naturally approach u... remember.. everybody has an instinct that you will work with them or work against them.. and when we see our ppl we like.. we always aim to be like them... so i am going to tell u to do a shameless ting... imitate them no matter who criticise u... one day u will be there like them.. here i will end with a quote " in everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. it is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those ppl who rekindle the human spirit."
how about situations... the wider the lens the better the view.. see more... take threat as challenge. see the problem as a pause.. then use ur hindsight + insight to solve a problem... use your imagination and you will do it.. tink as far as possible... even if it cant happen... u nid time.. if it happens immediately... u oso wont want it.. tink tt u want to fly on an aircraft.. and next moment you are in the sky... u wont want tt... it will happen.. as long as u imaigine hard enough. another quote by Einstein.. "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more imprtant than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
hahaz.. so go beyond and see the rainbow... visit the website to see more of it...

ethical or non ethical???
hahaz... i recently have a question.. y does one bcum a vegan? hmm.. cux killing them are cruel?!!
hmm.. then my nxt qn... so u shld eat genetically modified food.. from test tube.. cux they do not require killing at all mah??? n furthermore... u tink grow veggy nvr kill meh??? do u happen to know how many caterpillars are killed? earthworms are killed? hmm.. consider tis??? u may argue tt it is nt direct?? how can it be.. it is so direct tt for veggy u killed them... by ploughing... by removing their "house"... if u say tis is indirect.. u are also saying tt ppl who kill indirectly are nt killing oso... so does tt mean tt being a vegan is necessary holy??
oh ya... tis is nt a factor tt i stopped being a vegan.. bt it is one ting to consider abt?? how valid is a person who eat veggy bcux of reducing killing??
one has to be very clear of wat is their motive... and nt just follow.. or izit singaporean.. just follow lorrr... i tink tt sometimes.. we are so gd at saying yes or no... bt if someone say the opposite.. we cant defend ourselff... cux we dont have a reason to it... or we do not analyze it enough... till now.. i would say jazreel is one person i admire... she can hold her views well...
ok.. enough of philosophy.. congrats singapore tennis going to get gold or silver!! well done... finally!!!!!! i tot going to be me go get for Singapore liao... wahahahahaa!!

3 points to tink abt
1) Husband and Wife
2) Mother and Sons
3) Wealth....
So first Husband and Wife... so as to nt spoil the mood of those who havent watch.. just some small small part.. mark lee fought with his wife... although the wife did everyting under the earth for him... hmm... seriously... guys sometimes quite egoistic.. including me... sometimes... i am quite harsh towards girlss... hmm... as 2 person in a relationship... i tink it is impt tt bth give in to each other... and blah blah abd blah blah... quarrel is common.. bt tt is wat makes it interesting.. if nt too sian rite??!! hmm.. i promise that even if i am busy.. i cant give u enough time.. i will still give u the best of me.. every moment we are tgt...
nxt.. mother and son... tis one is unbelievable in the show... i nearly cried bcux of these.. maybe oso bcux my mum has given me all of hers in the past few yrs... i did practically nth for her.. i am so damn sorri... hmmm... a lot of ppl might tink i am a gd son... bt i dun tink i have done enuf... after losing my father... i realised life is nt permanent and goes anytime... and after so long... i realise that the love he left in my heart is so much... when my mum told me tt after he contracted cancer.. his only wish is to c my botak head... hmm... it's 1 yr frm now... n i will shave it for him! so now my mum's wish... she's the one who has guided me all these yrs on how to make money... knowledge me... i promise her.. no matter wat... i will make sure tis knowledge is nt for me.. bt for all to learn... hmm.. my father has been the one who trained me in tinking... my mum in how to move abt in life.. if nt for the bth of them... hmm.. who am i? even if she falls on the bed one day... sick... i will take care of u... u took care of me till 2day 19 yrs... wat more is taking care of u when u are sick for a few yrs? wat if u wake me up in the middle of the night and ask me where's ur bra? (those who watched the movie will understand)... when i was a baby.. i woke u up every nite... till now... u will stay awake to wait for me to come home... thank u...

heartache
woohoo... still heart aching over the problems... luckily i am jianhong the happy go lucky... or elsee... dunno wat might happen... ok.... today's philosophy.. does jianhong heart ache or does nt/
ok let's look at the 2 extremes.. on 1 side... can be a person.. damn stress.. every smalll problem bcum sky wanna fall down... on the other side... nt stress at all.. like as if the sky nvr exist b4... so lesson no.1... don't stress ur self overly... bt dun put urself too slack... one eg... guitar... to play the best music.. u cannot have the string too tight.. also nt too loose.. so sama sama.. maju kehadapan..
how to be nt too slack.. i tink dun nid elaborate much... cux SINGAPOREANS...
ok how nt to overstress?? hmm.. first.. i tink we nid to focus on the problem... ok.. in this case.. heartache over L___.. wat cause the heartache? u cause it? who are u? is the body u? or the thoughts u? or is it combination of the above? or just part of the above? tink and tink... u will realise tt the problem actualli is u leh... the problem is just there... they wont harm us and wont hurt us.. it is like eating slightly contiminated food... it wont harm us or hurt us much.. (much is emphasised cux it is nt like nth as the meaning implied)... bt once u know it drops to the ground.. wat's the nxt tot... ltr vomit and stomach poisoning how? so the problem we face in our life is the same... they are there.. bt we over elaborate it... then from no problem bcum armagedon...
hahaz... some ppl might say... aiyoh.. do so many of such analysis for wat?!?! bt havent u realise tt by just tinkin like tt... u have aladi left the problem aside and furthermore search for an answer thru it...
try try c c... maybe can help...

lesson...
attended lesson on 7 point mind training at Amitabha Buddhist Centre.. and i find this part damn interesting.. i would call the title.. obsession with present life!
Most of the time... Buddhist talk abt death liek nobody problem... y? to reduce the obsession with present life... bt isit necessary? what is the purpose?
Think about it... a person who is totally obsessed with present life... so he works for goals of this life.. maybe like want to be a millionaire.. ok... so he will work for it no matter how busy he is... realise his life damn busy.. a type of suffering liao?? ok... then he will do it by any means... since concern abt tis life.. kill oso dun care.... alamakk!!! bad karma... then bcums millionaire tot will be happily ever after... wat happen.. scared money lost... aiyoohhh.. another suffering.. worse is... when he tot become millionaire can be happily ever after.. wat happen?? brings him another worry... so we can see obsession with present life creates problemssssss...
ok then how abt a person who tink of future live? ok... he might work for goals for tis life.. bt tt is nt his focus.. so he will nt do anyting as mentioned above.. moreover.. tis will also give him the chance to realise true happiness.. and how to achieve it... one way is to tink that whatever problem his face.. someone aon earth somewhere experience the same ting.. so.. u are nt the only one.. and then tink.. just like urself want to be free from pain and want happiness.. so does all the humansss around u... so wat's the diff?? we shld work for true happiness!! hahaz.. wich is to gurantee gd future lives... bt even with gd future lives.. dun forget u must still work hard.. cux u can still fall back to lower rebirth..
now.. death is nt someting to scare a buddhist.. bt it is to motivate one to tink hard abt one's life and actions...
