To err is human, to forgive is divine

This phase is very popularly used to seek forgiveness but forgiveness is very hard to come by. Why? It is lot to do with self-ego. Once we lost our face or we are hurt, our emotions takes over and we want to take revenge to get even at all cost. We lost our logic and forgiveness and we only focus on the hurt and lost of face. If we slow down and come to our senses, then we realized that what we have gone through is wasteful and meaningless. Is self-ego so important? Some people treat self above all and they become egotistic and revengeful. Some people treat ego as a false image and they can see through their self and make the ego vanished. The latter shows self respect and constraint and keep the real "him or her". Yes, I felt hurt many times and how long it stays with me, it depends on me and how I handle hurt. All this option is within us and if we focus and think about it, it stays with us and if we choose to kick it out, it will vanished in thin air. The power of how is hurts lies with us. It is like holding a stick in our hand and the longer we hold it, the more painful to our arms. The principle is the same. The phase " To err is human , to forgive is divine" , means that every people makes error including the person who is hurt. This is very normal in life but for the person who is hurt to forgive, it is like GOD. They have the big heart to forgive and forget to move on. In this phase , it also illustrate the difficulty of forgiving. In another words, the person who is hurt have to behave like GOD, so how many people can behave like GOD to forgive. Hence, there is a lot of unhappiness and suffering on earth. For those who can forgive easily, they will enjoy a more blissful and happy life. I hope this message find all those hurtful people who can see through the truth of this phrase and move on. Namaste.

Our base line.

Our base line

Everyone of us have our own individual base or bottom line and this is the limit of our tolerance of humiliation or joke.  Some people have a very deep base line but other people have a very shallow line . When such level is breach that is when a joke turn into a  quarrel  or a fun time turn into disaster.

Our base line fluctuate according to our mood and our temper. The range changes every now and then In each day. A joke can be fun on one day and the same joke can be a disaster In another day or in front of different people or place. Like I have said before to predict an outcome involving human beings is a impossible thing. The outcome is uncontrollable .

In order to get an ideal conclusion, the right elements of place , time and people must converge. Hence, for a difficult agreement to conclude, we must wait for the right time , right place and the right people to be there to make it a successful agreement.

One of the elements is people and as I have mention before  it is extremely difficult because of the fluctuating mood of Human beings. Their self ego and the fluid human nature makes a problem difficult.

The unpredictable character of human beings makes life interesting and colorful。Any predictable outcome would be boring in the long run.

Life is short

Life is short This is a very common advise and it has been repeating in our years or we have read it through and through. Each time , we hear or read about it, the message will prick our senses and we stop for awhile to think and we will move on with our priorities in life. This message never really sink into our heads until we face its end. Why are we so silly? Or do we really have no time to think about it or refuse to think about it. The latter reason should be the correct reason,  we refuse to think about it because it can be very disruptive and unpleasant.  There is a lot fear to change to do the things we like. We will be  hurting lots of people when we change our normal life to pursue what we want. Si, we don't have the guts to change. Future fear or possible fear are holding us back and this is the barrier in our life. Danger is real but fear is not. We face to really make a point to face life and pursue our dreams before it is too late. Make an attempt to experience what we want to do and to re-enforce our guts to move near to it and finally experience it. Slow down and find a place to think about it and move towards it. Whether it is good or bad, you have make it and realize it instead of dreaming it. Namaste.

Taxes ,taxes & taxes

Taxes,taxes and taxes There is a saying "we only stop paying taxes until our coffin is nailed"。With the 2014 budget, we have a new GST (Goods & Services Tax ) and a higher RPGT ( property gains tax) and also a withdrawal of sugar subsidy. We are heading towards a higher inflation with the gradual withdrawal of Government subsidies. With the GST of 6% , this consumption tax will add taxes to all other goods and services except food stuff  This multi -layer taxes will make our lives difficult especially businessman.  A 6% taxes on the value added taxes at each level of transactions will have inflationary impact . Withdrawal of the sugar subsidy , the price of the food we eat will have an inflationary impact. So everything's prices will hike over time. When BIll Gates said that Life is difficult. He is damn right and it will get worst despite whatever the Government say or give subsidies they intend to give to the people to lessen the impact. What can we say, the Government is incurring huge deficits and the household debts are very high. Fitch and other rating agencies are watching our Government's direction on how they handle the fiscal measures.  Whatever is decided in the budget. We will need to face it and spend our hard earned money wisely. We are an intelligent animal and I believe will be able to.coup and decide well in our next election. Namaste.

My sweet lord.

My sweet Lord. This song was written  by George Harrison of the Beatles. The song was one of the hot favorite during my prime time. It was played on the radio and it influence the religious mood for a long time. During the prime time of the Beatles, all the members were not able to handle the fame and millions of fans and admirers. There was a period they took refuge in India and took up the practice of Meditation and the learn the art of the Sitar.  After this period of calm, My Sweet Lord was wrote by George Harrison , the 2nd lead guitarist of the Beatles band.  Subsequently, the Beatles was disband and Harrison became a recluse until he was murdered by an intruder. Another of the favorite song written by George was " here comes the sun".  Paying  tribute to  wonderful song writer George Harrison , here is part of the lyric of " my sweet lord" I really wanna know You I'd like to go with You I wanna show You Lord That it won't take long, my Lord Note: George Harrison wads believer of the Lord and not God. He wants to see in order to believe.,in this song , he was searching for the truth in God. Seeing is believing.

This afternoon some one called my assistant about some business issue and his name is Jude. I told my assistant "jude" should be a female but she told me that this "Jude" is a man and he is very serious in his approach. To make the matter light, I told my assistant that there is a song " Hey Jude" by the Beatles and it was a damn good song of my time. To surprise, she told me that she also loved the song "Hey Jude". In one part of the song, the writer said that we should " take a sad song and make it better". Yes, we should be the carrier of joy and laughter and make the whole laugh and sing with us. Bring the joy to the world. Another part of the song " let it in and let it out , don't carry the world on your shoulder". Some people interprete is as making love and letting it go and do not stress yourself with the problems in this world. Be a peace loving guy and let the troublesome world evolve. This is really a peace loving song and the Beatles have brought the message to the world and bring wisdom to the way of our life. I paying tribute to this wonderful bank by showing of its beautiful lyrics: Hey Jude lyrics jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better. Hey jude, don't be afraid. You were made to go out and get her. The minute you let her under your skin, Then you begin to make it better. And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain, Don't carry the world upon your shoulders. For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool By making his world a little colder. Hey jude, don't let me down. You have found her, now go and get her. Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better. So let it out and let it in, hey jude, begin, Youre waiting for someone to perform with.
