Every now and then, I bumped into people with high caliber personality. They are determined, know what they want in life, and follow through to execute and get it.

It is interesting to note that human nature are embedded with greed. And yet, as history has shown, it teaches us lessons over and over again, how things need a reality check sometimes. If it seems too real to be true, it probably is. Something within just doesn’t sound quite right… We’ve seen this happen [...]

Throughput one’s lifetime, we get to play many different roles in our lives, whether it’s being a son/daughter, sibling, dad/mom, a friend, a colleague or any other titles given to us.

As I get older, I realized that as responsible adults, the amount of work we need to do keeps on increasing. This seems like an upward trend that will keep on growing. Our responsibilities increase, ranging from school, work, family, and other engagements. Losing sleep is one way to dealt with the problem, but it [...]

For the past few weeks, I’ve been quite busy with a number of things to do, both in school and at home. Having overwhelmed with the tasks in hand, it reminded me of a saying that goes something like “A job half done is the same as a job not done at all.” This allowed [...]
Are People Getting Wiser With Age

A common saying that we hear around us is that people get wiser as they get older. However, recently I have been wondering whether this statement is really true or not? Although it is true that the older people are, the more experience and mature they become. Hence, logic might imply that at the same [...]
