Going Down Under

We've packed our bags and preparing ourselves to go south. So far, all the preparations have slowly fell into place, though slight hiccups here and there.

It's ok to lose

A colleague gave my son a DVD for the movie Cars. Although it's a kid show, man, I learnt the most important lesson in my whole career from this!

In the corporate world, people only care about winning, about being number one. Cars tells the story of a racing car called Lightning McQueen wanting to win a prestigious racing competition. But in a strange twist of event, he got lost in a "dead" town and was forced to serve in a community service but he learnt life's most basic lessons: love and friendship. In the wilderness, he was doing what he hated but found that the found new friends from the town who really cared for him.

Everyday, he yearns to leave the town to go back to the racing track. He finally managed to race and he was at the very verge of winning, when he stopped right before the finishing line to reverse his car to help another car which was spun off track. Having the golden chance of being number one, he gave it up, to be number three to win a friend. What a lesson!

Sometimes, being in the corporate we think we are so smart to go up the ladder while pushing other people down. We lose friends, gain enemies, put up falsehood and fake facts to paint a rosy picture to others. Is it worth it? Well, our bank accounts may grow exponentially but not our character. So next time you want to claim credit for someone else's work or put a colleague down, think about the lessons from Cars.

Getting a good night sleep

Have you heard of people who cannot sleep at night? Ya, not that they need to finish up their work (like me now) but that they are so worried that they cannot sleep. Career insecurity, financial crisis, diseases, etc., these are stuffs that keep a lot of people awake at night. Believe it or not there are people who stay up to scheme up for their next "political strategy"...

How nice if we can sleep in peace, knowing that we don't need to worry about the next day, or about what people are going to do to harm us. Well, that's what God promises us if we put our trust in Him. Look at these verses, God repeated it twice in two consecutive psalms. When God says it two times, that's serious stuff!

Psalms 2: 5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me.

Psalms 3: 8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Try it... works for me.

Mun San was here

Our good friend Mun San was in Penang for business trip on 29th Oct 2007. Caught up with her and Yin Wan + Vivian. Felt like those times when we were still in primary and high school... Can't believe that we are already so old! We should do this more often to trick our mind into thinking we are still teenagers...
