~nature untouched~

Browsing through the Internet today, I found a really interesting picture that caught my eye straightaway.

I live in Kuala Lumpur, pretty much a concrete jungle. Seeing this photo really reminds me of how far this city that I live in has developed from being a small, humble village settlement into a booming commercial centre.

This photo prompts an important question in my mind - are we slowly losing the natural beauty that our God Almighty created? Honestly, when you look into that picture do you not feel an impeccable sense of serenity?

Staring into this picture, I just get sucked into it. I live in a society where materiality counts, where time never seems to be enough, where money seems to rule our every thought. For a moment, this picture takes me away from all that and just tells me there are more things than just working so hard to please higher-ups that hardly seem to be satisfied with no matter how well or how much we do!

Nature in it's original form reminds us of how beautiful it is. However, most importantly it tells each and everyone of us, how much we have taken away from Mother Nature in the name of better living and development. But, really, are we really living in a better place? Are we truly happy? ~ give it some thought ~

It's amazing how one person can show so much care to another person without requiring a reason. I definitely admire those who are able to care for another person selflessly. I may not know my ability to care for another person but I know I'd give it a good shot in caring for someone I love - parents, siblings, girlfriend. Personally, I think the will to care for another person will come naturally like the rainbow after a rainy day. I think inside us resides a little vault of emotions that entwines itself to form a chemistry of emotions that manifests itself as a plethora ...

Entrepreneurship....

Every now and then, some people make it big time in the business world either from, pioneering a fresh new business strategy to improving something that is thought to be already at it's best. Entrepreneurs can be found in virtually any part of this world. I guess, when you think about an entrepreneur in a global perspective, the first few people you might think of would be - William H. Gates who founded Microsoft, Steve Jobs who brought to us the iPod or even Warren Buffet arguably the best investor in THE world. Bring it down to a narrower perspective, the local scene - Tony Fernandes co-founder of AirAsia and Teh Hong Piow founder of Public Bank Berhad (equivalent to a PLC), and of course there are many more! I guess, there are times when we sit down and ponder, "how exactly did these people turn out to be who they are?". Were they born with such innate ability? Did they have parents that constantly gave them inspiration to be their own boss? Did they have a natural eye...

Early morning breakfast at a mamak store!

affiliate program Morning breakfast looks like this from the table. A quiet spot just outside the restaurant, cooling and comfortable. :) Mornings are a good time to have quiet time to just reflect on things and just let the mind relax before starting it off. Like any other Malaysian, food is of imperative importance! After all, can't let the mind work on an empty stomach now can we? Thosai Masala is definitely the way to go to start one's day off! Healthy food and plenty carbohydrate from the potato mix inside it. Hmmmmmm.......... mix your mouth all wait eh?  affiliate program
