Bible or not, i don’t think i will read also la. No offence. I believe any books on religion are bout the same – they teach people good things

Motivational books…erm…well, few good ones are more than enuf lor.

Amway or any MLM, so far, i din get influenced by any of their talks.

I especially like psalm. I memorized a few psalms. They comfort me when I am down and my booster also when I am up :).

Motivation books are written by car sales man lah, they know how to psy people, psy their emotion.

I also very good in psy people one lah. When I was managing my school, every yr I hold seminars for form 5 leavers. I very good in psycho people one. At the end of the seminar, mesti 1/2 of the people sign up the course one :).

I was born with motivation drive. I was home bound for a long time when I was young. I saw my siblings went to school , went to the playground, went to movies, etc. I could only stay in my room cos I was sick all the times (remember I was born with many holes in my heart).

So my life motivation is to live like a normal person. That is why lah, motivation books lah, taps lah, cannot take my $ one lah.

My husband is totally opp. , very easy get cons by these motivation guru. Poor guys got talked into joining armway. Bought so many toilet papers, bulbs, vitamins etc. After married 2 yrs, still not need buy toilet papers and tissue papers.

So one day I went to one of the armway retreat or seminars. Wow, very grand ones, songs like “we are the champion” lah etc… will be the background music and people sing and lift hands, rocks bodies lah, this that. I sat there and watched. My husband said why you not moved by this commotion ? I said these people very good psycho, better than me.

A few of my friends are charasmatic christian,they sing , raise their hands, some of them, the pastor even stand up and dance on the stage. I shake my hand and said what the world gone into !!! ‘Siaw’.

Motivation all pyscho people want lah. If you read a motivation book, the most you get out what they want to drive through is believe in your self, your strength…

All basic + a bit of pepper and salt + good English (our friend C. can write better) + a bit of famous people quotation (like our long relative, George Washington lah, ha ha ha, a, don’t laugh, he was really related to hubby line lah).

Not that I am against motivation books lah. I just think everything is common sense, no need to spend that kind of $.

What you need to do is go to the bookstore or internet , find what are some of the best sellers, read a few pages, front and back. Get a summary and the jargons they used.

Then during parties time, throw in one or two of the quote from the lastest trend. Wow, people think you so smart, oleri read the top 10 N.Y sellers :).

Ha ha ha, life like that one lah.

Jamy

Chill.

To me, i don need to look further coz i know the sea is very very wide. haha. ok, jst kidding, i don get the meaning of the chinese saying.
yeah, i know i don have to b a Christian to read the bible but since i already have so many motivational books, why not jz read them

Alright, to answer Cirnelle and Jamy…nxt post i shall write bout football… hahahaha

You don’t have to be a Christian to read the bible. It is the best selling books .

There is a Chinese saying that if you look further, the sea is wider than you think…

You know my father in law until this day still does not understand why people play ball game, he said why bother chasing after 1 ball, just put a few more lah :).

Peace

I don’t know how I wound up here but here I am. I know the feeling when we say words that can change things in a relationship. Sometimes it can ruin things forever in the blink of an eye and other times it can help us to grow and get to know both ourselves and the other person more.

I hope it’s just one of those things that will blow over.

Have a beautiful day.

Peace, love and understanding.

Jamy,
I don’t have a bible, because i’m a buddhist jz that i dont really read any books on buddhism and rarely go to temple. so..u can call me a buddhist + free thinker.
Yea, most of us do over-react from time to time over small issues. after we’ve calmed down…we’ll realize that it’s a pretty silly thing to do.
Maybe that’s why i always don like to argue with people in real life. i will jz stay away, calm down and look at the actual situation. most of the things will not affect much….they’re jz minor issues.

jz hope that i can do watever i said, ALL THE TIME. Haha. somehow, there are still few things or “triggers” which will make me overreact no matter how hard i control. =_= maybe i shld minimize the number of “triggers”

I don’t read any motivation book but my bible is my motivation book.

As you progressed in life journey, you see more, experience more, something that look big to you when you are 12 years old become very small when you are 45.

One of my boss told me something which I always remember :

A girl wanted the “Cinderella” role so much, her best friend got it. She cried for many days.
Many many many years later, the same girl, having her 80th birthday party with lots of great grand kids, grand kids and children blowing away the candle, little toes running around kissing her cheeks, good aroma of baked chicken in the oven, kids swinging on the porch calling for nana to come look as the deers just came by .

The “Cinderella” role was not even in this woman mind now .

Got it.

Sit down, relax, have a kit kat, have a cuppa, tell yourself no big deal, they aren’t going to affect you, no big deal :):).

ll yourself no big deal :). Upset with what matters most .
