War

No one likes to lose, neither do I.

Compromising, one will only do when one is satisfy with their own lives. Sometimes I do not understand, the utilitarian point of view, for the greater good we all should care for. But what about the minorities? In America, the minorities are well taken care of now, that's what I can see, but there are some that are being left out.

In Bangkok, protesters want the former prime minister back again, but why? In Malaysia, Mahathir was a good prime minister, but he stepped down to give chances to other people who would further enhance the future of Malaysians.

In Baghdad, war between terrorism happens, around the world there are terrorisms happening. There must be a reason why people retaliate. It is not because of fear that controls someone, it is because of respect. The respect for another human being to respect another is the key. Some define respect as you bow down to me, that's called respect. If that is so, I think we would have gone back to the Chinese dynasties.

Social issues have been raised, gender issues have been raised. Voices are being heard of now, changes are being made. But why do you want to resolve in war? Are you too full that you have nothing to do to get yourself into war? Social media is one of the ways that's getting the news over without boundaries, as that is what I know in Malaysia.

There's a voice from malaysiakini that speaks of the issues that were somehow, not disclosed by the government throughly, but how true is the news? How true are the news you hear from the media? Even the financial news there's this hidden corporate management until there's whistle blowing from one of the loyal employees that wants to be heard.

North and South Korea? For the greater good of its people...

Good day, God bless planet earth. If aliens invade earth, everyone will be fucked up by then.

Business Ethics

"I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause. The example of great and pure characters is the only thing that can product fine ideas and noble deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always tempts its owners irresistibly to abuse it.

Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus , or Gandhi armed with them money-bags of Carnegie?"
(Einstein, 1949)


I just handed in my 1st business ethics assignment, and to my surprise, this subject is very philosophical, which is something I like, or to say I have found something that really interests me, although sometimes it bores me.. With the searches over the Internet, looking through books, I came over this quote by Albert Einstein.


Everything happens for a reason, doesn't it? I was suppose to be choosing International Law but instead the timetable clashed and therefore I chose business ethics, and surprisingly, my Law lecturer from year 1 was commencing the class. The topics discussed by her are so philosophical and it does take someone who reads and who has experienced or someone wanting and allowing the knowledge of philosophy to flow in. Crazy class, one of the mind blasting classes I've come acrossed.

Judging someone too quickly without having to understand what is the person's intention.

What I mean by the statement above is that, sometimes you will tend to judge everyone by the cover. Eventhough you know the person well, you have already implanted the judgement of that person in you, no matter what situation comes across, you will already have the judgement in you.

Dangerously, if you judge someone too quickly.

That judgement you may have might produce an anti trust for you. In which it is dangerously because every moment you have already put the person on guard. Sometimes, you might unintentionally hurt the person. Hope this person you find is not your love ones. Because dangerously, you might have hurt his or her feelings.

Signing off, damn it's a Friday night and I'm at home.
This is so not productive, I find that is. ^^

Good day people, and have a great weekend ahead!

Letting Go

I've listened to some of the great podcast this morning while on my way to Klang, I notice something, I couldn't take excuses from people easily, as in people telling me why it can't be done, and this person who was being interviewed, he is telling his listeners why the obstacles of not able to acquire angel investors is so impossible, that people do not believe in his games creations. In the end, I switched radio channels.

I believe in energy, as in when you're with people who has the positive energy, you'll be attracted to it. Positive energy I defined it as the good, happy and everything possible energy. While on the opposite of the positive being negative energies, it is the excuses like what can't be done, why it always can't be done, there's damn alot of obstacles kinda excuse. I couldn't tolerate with these energies.

--------------------------------------------------------

But with these energies, you know you have got them both. You have gotta realize where you are, what you're doing at the point in time. It's easier said than done, therefore it all comes to these words: believe & vision what you've always wanted.

--------------------------------------------------------

Letting Go, is about improving yourself. That time when I switched channel, there's a short interview with Tony Leung.

The interviewer asked Tony: "Do you like working with Andy Lau? Are you afraid that you will lose to him in terms of acting and other things?"
Tony's reply to the interviewer: "I love working with Andy, and I love to share goodness of stuffs with him, this is because if Andy is better than me, I will work myself up to be better than him, it's always a healthy competition which it also ends up being better for me."

--------------------------------------------------------

Last Friday when I was driving to Klang, there was an interview with a business entrepreneur. He said that letting go is like a pyramid, when you have reached the peak above, you cannot go further and your profit will stay stagnate. The only way to a higher peak is to build another base, a larger base. For example, allowing other people to work for you, so that you will be able to reach higher peaks with a stronger base. Yes, some people might pull out from supporting you, it is also a must to go down from the peak to understand your base from time to time. Checking on these pillars that supports your growth. Imagine a pyramid, and you'll know what I am talking about.

--------------------------------------------------------

The traditional people will save all the skills he have to himself, because he is scared that other people will tend to overtake him. But then again, what is life without competition, competition is only a way of improvement. You wont work yourself if you're at the top, but with competition, life is much interesting.

The reason is simple, because you know you're not alone, your competitors are your best friend. Because they know you, and they're always concerned about you. They too want to keep up with you. Life's a cycle, when you view your competitors as your friend, it's a positive energy, it's gonna be a healthy competition. Vice-versa.
