~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 ~

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in ...

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

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...
