A good reputation and respect are worth much more than silver and gold.
Proverbs 22:1
Just realised that the images I had copied online and pasted here appears with the Explorer browser but not in the Firefox browser. My default is Firefox.
The yahoo chart on ferrochina, the Aidilfitri greetings etc appear as icons in the firefox but can see them clearly on the explorer. (hence the ugly multiple images if u are using explorer.. sorry !)

thank you for ur compliments
In this crisis, only baseerahmed never ceases to entertain and enlighten us!
And here is also a lesson I have learned: whatever conditions are in my life today that are
not the easiest and most agreeable, and whatever conditions of this type all
coming time may bring, I will take them just as they come, without complaint, without depression, and meet them in the wisest possible way; knowing that they
are the best possible conditions that could be in my life at the time, or otherwise
they would not be there; realizing the fact that, although I may not at the time see
why they are in my life, although I may not see just what part they have to play,
the time will come, and when it comes I will see it all, and thank God for every
condition just as it came.
-----------------------------
Each must work out his own problems. Each must grow the insight that
will enable him to see what the causes are that have brought the unfavorable
conditions into his life; each must grow the strength that will enable him to face
these conditions, and to set into operation forces that will bring about a different
set of conditions. We may be of aid to one another by way of suggestion, by way of
bringing to one another a knowledge of certain higher laws and forces — laws and
forces that will make it easier to do that which we would do. The doing, however,
must be done by each one for himself. And so the way to get out of any
conditioning we have got into, either knowingly or inadvertently, either
intentionally or unintentionally, is to take time to look the conditions squarely in
the face, and to find the law whereby they have come about. And when we have
discovered the law, the thing to do is not to rebel against it, not to resist it, but to
go with it by working in harmony with it.
If we work in harmony with it, it will work for our highest good, and will
take us wheresoever we desire. If we oppose it, if we resist it, if we fail to work in
harmony with it, it will eventually break us to pieces. The law is immutable in its
workings. Go with it, and it brings all things our way; resist it, and it brings
suffering, pain, loss, and desolation.

There is nothing more true in connection with human life than that we
grow into the likeness of those things we contemplate. Literally and scientifically
and necessarily true is it that "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." The "is"
part is his character. His character is the sum total of his habits. His habits have
been formed by· his conscious acts; but every conscious act is, as we have found,
preceded by a thought. And so we have it - thought on the one hand, character,
life, and destiny on the other. And simple it becomes when we bear in mind that it is simply the thought of the present moment, and the next moment when it is
upon us, and then the next, and so on through all time.
One can in this way attain to whatever ideals he would attain to. Two steps
are necessary: first, as the days pass, to form one's ideals; and second, to follow
them continually, whatever may arise, wherever they may lead him. Always
remember that the great and strong character is the one who is ever ready to
sacrifice the present pleasure for the future good. He who will thus follow his
highest ideals as they present themselves to him day after day, year after year,
will find that as Dante, following his beloved from world to world, finally found
her at the gates of Paradise, so he will find himself eventually at the same gates.
Life is not, we may say, for mere passing pleasure, but for the highest unfoldment
that one can attain to, the noblest character that one can grow, and for the
greatest service that one can render to all mankind. In this, however, we will find
the highest pleasure, for in this the only real pleasure lies. He who would find it
by any short cuts, or by entering upon any other paths, will inevitably find that
his last state is always worse than his first; and if he proceed upon paths other
than these he will find that he will never find real and lasting pleasure at all.

Some religion believes man created man...
Such an unbelievable concept! ... 
But think cloning, DNA, stem-cells...
Our sun is but a tiny star, we are not as great as we think we are... etc...
It's getting closer to the truth by the decade...
A Thing of Beauty is Joy Forever
Which is more beautiful ...?
the creature ...the creation .. the creator .. or the Creator ?
Praises to whom ..?
flipping through the newspapers the last few days was like an extension of Sharejunction ,CNN , Bloomberg, etc spilling out on to the offline world .... : )
These few days have been very stressful for investors around the world.
The events have been unprecedented and scary.
I previously wanted to upgrade my car to a bigger one but now I think twice. This is a very bad time to get saddled with more debt.
Shakespeare would say .. " Nothing is new .. I've already portrayed Shylock .. he would demand a pound of flesh .... and the curses of his customers would have him ruined " ...hahaha !
Modern day giant Shylocks are falling one by one ...
do we have to re-think Capitalism ....hahaha !
