Interesting Read – Your Partner in Financial Freedom

I’d like to introduce a new blog, its a blog about managing your financial freedom.

Its a very new blog, started only this morning. But I think that the information coming out could be quite good and productive.

While my blog discusses things less practical, just like me, this new blog speaks of things that are alot more practical – making money in an unhealthy economy. It certainly provided me with quite some food for thought.

There are people who aim to be so rich, they do not know what to do with the money.

True, money is important, but no one should be a slave to money, and in this world that we live in, alot of people end up losing the forest of life for the tree of a career.

If we can make money to ensure that we have the stability to properly live life without worrying about the ricebowl, then that I think, is certainly alot more beneficial. You may agree with some of the things he has suggested, or you may not, but either way I think it’s quite a profitably blog to follow.

Go check it out, http://yourpartnerinfinancialfreedom.blogspot.com/

Thinking Out Loud – The True Mark of a Person

The true mark of a worthy person, is not how conventionally ‘masculine/feminine’ he is.

It is not how much a leader he is.

It is not how intelligent he is.

It is not how eloquent he is.

It is not how accompished he is.

It is the little things that tell you about him, his responsibility, how he keeps his insignificant promises, his love of life, his side comments/witty replies.

It is how he behaves when the pressure builds.

It is the things he does and how he does them, that speaks of the whole him.

What do the little things say about you?

Quote – Dr Toh Chin Chye on Younger Singaporeans

Today’s generation has no culture and is averse to taking political risks. Really, an interest in politics is very necessary for the future…

But I cannot blame the present generation, because they see the heavy-handed response by the government to dissenting views, even though they know that these matters involve their daily lives…

So the result is that we have produced a younger generation who are meek and therefore very calculating. They are less independent-thinking and lack initiative.
