Here think, there think
Waiting for dinner to be prepared so take this time to put some of the thoughts I have now. Just finish watching the news, and in there it reported the man that was killed by MRT at one of the MRT station.
Apparently, the man's family is very poor, having a hard time making ends meet with the two children in their teens and the wife earning very very little. Because the news of the poor family's plight was out on the street, a lot of people came to make some donations. The donations amounted to tens of thousands. Well, it is nice to see people doing charity like I mentioned in other blog entries, but there is one thing I cannot agree and that is people do charity when things are too late. If the helping hand was extended before the man committed suicide, wouldn't the effect be better? If people start doing charity regularly, charity organizations would have funds to help more people, before anything sad or irreversible happens. And what msgs are we sending to other people who are in dire straits? The thoughts of "If I commit suicide in a way that can get the media to broadcast, my family may be taken care of" Do we really want these people to think of that? Well some of my thoughts, of course, and you have the right to agree and disagree.
On the way back from work, well part of the discussion is on a lady. I strongly believe she is smart, and I do believe she has the potential to achieve more later in life. People ask me why I think that way, but well, I would like to put it in words, but I can't. What I can say is instinct. And she is one lady, I am willing to bet a few years on it no matter how the current circumstances is. Which explains why I want to concentrate on my businesses for the next few years and see where it goes from there. And she does keep me very motivated to achieve my vision as well, no idea why but that is so. So I guess at the end whether we are together or not, it will benefit me and hopefully to her as well. And thank goodness she is not in Singapore because the haze is really getting quite bad here.
Begin with an End In Mind! Motivated now to do more! Oh and thank you, rain for coming at the right time!Dinner is ready, time to eat!
Cheers!

The power of media is once again something that is very great. These people in dire are never known to the public, so how would anyone lend a helping hand? Remember the news had reported a growing GDP...
It is only when such unfortunate things happened and under media coverage, people are then brought to awareness of such situations.
