I Have Plentiful

What are things you treasure? I'll make a guess.

Is it something that you have very little of? Something rare is usually something of value. And this rare item is gonna make you become very possessive of it, making you don't want to let go of it.

I've just read a book and there was a solution proposed by the author(unfortunately, I don't remember the title of the book), which I find very useful.

In order to let go, first, you need to acquire more of that item. That will mean if you are possessive of your handphone, buy plentiful of handphone; if you are possessive of your home electricity, use more electricity, etc. Of course, these analogies sucks.

When you feel you have plenty of your treasured item, you feel less pain if you were to share them with other people.

Team Work

A man takes 1 year to complete building a house. How long does it take 5 men to complete building the same house.

The answer: definitely less than 73 days.

Road crossing

Teacher: Class, today we'll be having practical lesson on crossing the road. As you can see, the roads are very dangerous and so we have to be extra careful when we cross the road. Remember the sequence - Stop, Look, Go. When you come to a road, stop, then turn to look to your right, then left, then right again. When the coast is clear, you can start crossing the road. Shall we start?

Student A walks up to the road, stop by the roadside, turn his head right, left, then right again, following every instruction to perfect precision and successfully cross the road. For his great work, he receives A+.

Student B walks up to the road, stop by the roadside, look to his right, seeing no car, he crossed the road, and made it across safely as well.

The teacher walks up and gave the youngster a dressing down for not following instructions and demanding a reason for his action.

Student B: But this road is a one-way road, why do I need to look to the left?

Are you student A or student B?

A is for cockroach

It's the first time in so many years that I ate there, and I've saw the xiao qiang living there, just on the seat beside me crawling around.

Much to my dismay, after seeing the little pest, I walked around the whole food-court and found that all the stalls are supposed to be 'A' in the level of cleanliness. Does this mean we only care about the cleanliness of each of the individual stall and the area that will not be graded in this case the sitting area should be left to rot?

Anyway, the fish and chip was okay, but it's not served with tartar sauce. Remember not to buy the mushroom soup though - 1 dollar for mushroom in plain water..
Many behaviours are guided not by the joy of loving but the fear of no longer being loved, not out of joy of giving but out of fear of not receiving in return.
