wise andhappy choice

choose to be happy, true we are making choice....all the time, even till our next life

你要生活在天堂，還是地獄
生活中的每一天，我們都可以決定要過地獄或天堂般的生活。如果選擇對立、抗爭，等於生活在地獄裡。反之，選擇和諧、寬恕，就是在天堂。不和諧的環境，會影響工作士氣與績效。工作會占掉一個人至少三分之一的時間，能開開心心工作真的很有福氣。所以，應重視工作時的合諧氣氛。多一點體諒，多一點和諧，家人、朋友間才會有多一點的快樂與幸福。

whenever we have confidence, we gain more

If there is a chance, we can assess ourself...may employ ourself...see

在起跑點搶得先機
多利用機會為人生鋪路，因為要抓住好的工作機會，是有竅門的，有幾個小祕訣，首先，態度要積極，放寬思惟試一試，且不依賴信件連絡，主動出擊再寫一份精彩的履歷表，不要太簡單，也不要太過描述細節，應該在不說謊的狀況下，有技巧地描述你的經驗和工作。如獲面試機會，務必準時，最好提早到場做準備，關於面談的態度如果表現得太過謙卑，或是因為太有把握而近乎傲慢，多半會被淘汰出局，最佔優勢的方式是「保持自信」。

another factor to be happy

別跟自信過不去自信是什麼？這很難用一、兩句話說明，不過，有句話說得很好：「自信，就是不要跟自已過不去。」這句話形容得很貼切，沒自信的人常覺得別人看不起他。辜濂松曾說：「領導人不見得比別人聰明，可是他會用比他聰明的人。」這句話背後所展現的，就是自信。因為，領導人若能聽從旁人的建議，就不怕大權旁落或別人騎到頭上，當然會有很多人才願意幫他工作。.....true confidence

you are most attractive ....because...

幽默的人最有魅力
平心靜思，每個人努力奮鬥一生，最希望得到的，可能不是金錢、名聲或權勢，而是成為一個處處受歡迎的人。有沒有幽默感，就決定一個人受歡迎的程度。幽默感可以反映出，一個人是不是能夠從容面對困境、自我解嘲，用不同的角度看事情，而這樣的人生態度，是很吸引人的。

smile ...and let us really enjoy

請給世界一個微笑
人的一生，一定要努力避開一種人，那種時常潑你冷水的人。先說一個小故事，有個媽媽在廚房洗碗，她聽到小孩在後院蹦蹦跳跳玩耍的聲音，便對他喊道：「你在幹嘛？」小孩回答：「我要跳到月球上！」你猜媽媽怎麼說？她沒有潑冷水，罵他「小孩子不要胡說」或「趕快進來洗乾淨」之類的話，而是說：「好，不要忘記回來喔！」這個小孩後來成為第一位登陸月球的人，他就是阿姆斯壯。微笑是熱忱的表微，而熱忱的影響力，常常超乎想像。曾有人問北歐航空的總裁卡爾森：「你如何扭轉乾坤，讓一家每年賠七、八千萬美金的航空公司轉虧為盈？」他回答說：「我只做了一件事情：提高每一個員工的熱忱。」有兩句話可以形容「熱忱」的極致表現：「跳舞要跳到好像沒有人在看，愛人要愛到好像從來沒有受過傷害。」

Try again happily, if it is really interesting for us

機會是人生的導航員
中年轉入陌生行業，在以前的社會或許有點不可思議，但在未來的世界裡，這種情況一定越來越多。年輕人一定要有心理準備，就是「你可以做、也必須做很多從來沒有做過的事」。誰有自信，誰的成功機會就更多。美國演說家胡伯說，再堅持一下，再多努力一點，看來無望的挫敗可能立即轉變為光采的勝利。其實，世上只有不夠努力，並無真正的失敗；只有自我設限，不敢超越，並無真正的挫折。

Be prepared

隨時隨地儲備實力
如果你正處於人生低潮，首先找出自已興趣所在，多多學習，把興趣變能力，掌握機會好好表現，勇於嘗試。戴爾．卡內基說，我們常常會有很多機會，可是因為沒有做好準備，很少能發現這些機會。好好注意你身邊的機會。

effective hazard management

挫折是對未來的祝福
不論在感情、朋友或工作上，有能力處理挫折，實在是一種福氣！「成功的條件是什麼？」如果你的答案之中有一個是「有效率處理挫折」，那麼，我大概可以判斷，你未來一定會成功。因為，一個人就算真的很能幹、很有才華、很有學問、很努力，可是經不起挫折，那麼但願他一輩子都不要遭逢挫折，否則，他很可能會一敗塗地。

Happy priority for you and me

A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that ifhe could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes,then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode asfast as possible to cover as much land area as he could.He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast aspossible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because hewanted to cover as much area as possible.Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he wasexhausted and was dying.Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so muchland area?Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."The above story is similar with. We push veryhard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate thesurrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really needthat much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition . Lifeis definitely not about work!Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty andpleasures of life.Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You haveto decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities,realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of yourdecisions be based on your instincts.So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature.Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live abalanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!Watch your thoughts; they become words.Watch your words; they become actions.Watch your actions; they become habits.Watch your habits; they become character.Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

True...can change our habit, thus character, thus aim for good future

Healthy plan during recession ...by Dr. Chong

Family dinners

Want to start a revolution? Try eating dinner together as a family.Recessions tend to foster family mealtimes as the pin money that drives fast-food meals and overscheduled lives dries up.

Shorter lines at the pump

It seems like only yesterday we witnessed the thrilling rush-hour road rage exchanges at every metropolitan gas station

Less junk mail

Thanks to the presumptive recession, many of us have recently glimpsed the back of our mailboxes for the first time in years.

More coupons

When the going gets tough, the tough clip coupons to help maintain their lifestyles.

A February survey by ICOM Information and Communications in Toronto found that 67% of Americans are likely to use coupons during a recession, regardless of their income.

Free fitness

What's the official vegetable of good times? The couch potato, of course.

But as gas prices skyrocket, alternative modes of transportation are once again gaining traction. When you ride a bike, walk to the bus stop or hoof it to the train station to commute to work, you get a free workout along with saving gas money.

You can extend your free workout in other ways. Throw in a little cardio (by skipping rope, jogging or rowing) and add some upper body (with push-ups, sit-ups and free weights) and you can save the $35 to $40 a month

Bargain SUVs

Not all prices go up in a recession. Case in point

Business startup opportunities

What do Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Disney have in common? They all started during economic downturns, as did more than half of the 30 companies that comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

In fact, entrepreneurial startups by laid-off and downsized employees, managers and executives often help get the economy growing again.

Recessions are a great time to open your own shop: Wages are down, rents are cheaper, competition is scarce and goods and services can be found at a discount.

Growth in gardening

A recession is the perfect time to get back to nature. Bid your lawn service adieu and put your mind and body to work tending your grounds yourself.

The benefits are numerous. Regular gardening provides cardio and strength training, improves flexibility and relieves stress. These health benefits help fight heart attack, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and osteoporosis.

The fruits and vegetables you grow also encourage a healthier diet. And the money you save by doing the mowing, raking, pruning and mulching yourself will more than pay for your equipment, fuel and next year's plantings.

Musical inspiration

Do economic downturns inspire great music? A case can be made that hard times help produce heartfelt anthems that cut through the anesthetic musical drone of the day.

New perspectives

Perhaps the greatest boon of a recession is the time to reflect and reassess the true meaning and goals of our lives.
history is any indication, we humans are inclined to resume our consumption full speed once the economic engine starts rolling again. But our progress toward a more sustainable future comes in increments during those times when we are forced to do without.We may not yet be ideal stewards of the planet, but we're making progress. Temporary setbacks like recessions prompt our new hope.

wishing you health....happiness...success ( greetings from Dr. J. Chong)

reasons to love a recession

The latest downturn is an opportunity to return to the family dinner table or the garden.
hear "recession" and think "disco!"
In 1975, inflation topped 14%, unemployment approached 6% (but doubled that in some locales), and fuel and food prices were headed skyward.
No one wants a recession, of course. It can cause serious economic pain for millions of people, and many good friends.
However, economists tell us there are some reasons to actually welcome and perhaps even embrace a recession. After all, a recession is the ebb part of the natural ebb and flow of world economy. Yes , why we talk about world economy....you and I are living in a global viallage now with our doors wide opened. Good or bad...
Any way think that we have gain some weight and now we are having sliming programme.
Plan a series of activities for this recession ( for how long a period ? you are wise...tell me)

Cheap energy make us happy and healthy

what is responsible for the record escalation on oil prices?

We have tried to stay in office during lunch time to save fuel.( How about those who need to see children and wife/husband?)
We have checked the pump metre before leaving the petrol station, for example, the pump stopped automatically indicating 49 $ even we paid 50, yet many people left without noticing Tabuan Jaya Petronas station is very very very good with automation...so manual work must be done by ourself...yes..take theinitiative to do some home work and actual work.ok...
back to the main topic...wishing for cheap oil and a happy healthy life...why ?why?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
what is responsible for the record escalation on oil prices?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
1. of course we have to pick the...Speculators, to blame
2.the credit crisis and a weaker dollar. means weak US dollars. why? Sarawak people earn Ringgit dollar and we earn only 10 % of Average Singaporean earned. Sarawak got a lot of kind hearted people, and we spend average 30% of our income for our tansport...oil)
3. Financial markets are today playing an increasingly important role in price formation

4. responding to, accentuating, and exaggerating supply and demand, geopolitics and other trends
my friend, are we talking a topic too difficult for us to digest? oh...we have to be health , so we must do our home work...not only children do home work..we, you and me...have to home work..my friend.
5.
markets have helped fuel a "shortage psychology" that the world is "running out of oil."( yes..our servant politicians said some thing...are we people master of our land??? are we ok to learn and take responsibility to improve our own living, and save our children???yes...oil sure last for 100 years
yes...oil last for many years 100 years and many other form of energy..)

We are treated like kindergarten kids...heh heh..many are.....( use our imagination and tell your love one to ...improve ...)

6. As prices go up, this psychology becomes self-reinforcing - at least until the market turns ( some how we are cheated.. rich becomes richer)

7. 2007 may well have been the top, the peak, in terms of U.S. gasoline demand ( NOW...YES 2008 )
Why say there is increase demand?? Cheat , the whole world is using more efficient cars etc.

8. quote the truth:
use of renewable energy sources and newly-discovered oil supplies - such as the discoveries in off-shore Brazil - as well as greater fuel efficiency
9. Alternatives and renewables have and should have an important role to play in our energy economy, and their role will grow ( glow)

10. **** USA angry people represent the whole world angry peole???
quoted:

Lawmakers, who are facing voter anger over high gas prices, have introduced nine different bills on speculation. Several of those measures have bipartisan support. Several hearings have been held this week with more scheduled.

11. hedging fuel and therefore avoiding today's skyrocketing prices

is that true???? ok conservation means we use less oil from todays onwards. and the simple thing oil producing countries can do is produce 10 percent more crude oil daily and we sure see the oil price drop to 80 per barrel.
true. then everybody will be happy..

Will that means our honourable ministers( and the head with many titles given by the people...true??by the people? servant of our beloved peole? do you think we are a different type of slaves??)

Slaves..?

Free at last...one day you can say that..how about your friend...and me?
$$$$$ 5 stars ***** smile, let us think

happy movie, happy story, happy mood=health

British comic Sacha Baron Cohen is to play detective Sherlock Holmes in a spoof movie based on Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary supersleuth, Daily Variety reported Wednesday.

Baron Cohen -- who shot to international stardom as a hapless Kazakh journalist in the hit mockumentary "Borat" -- will team up with Will Ferrell, who is to play Holmes' faithful sidekick, Doctor Watson.

"Just the idea of Sacha and Will as Sherlock Holmes and Watson makes us laugh," said Columbia Pictures co-president Matt Tolmach.

"Sacha and Will are two of the funniest and most talented guys on the planet, and having them take on these two iconic characters is frankly hilarious."

snail moves fast. joke

snail moves fast. not exactly a joke since most French people are good in snail goumet.

snail also affect the commodity price...up...raised
A tough protein source. That is my personal idea. I could be wrong. One day I will visit France and eat...happily

Algae in China...odd..Olympic

Our world is sick...need treatment..hope to cure if we try hard.

Deadline

Around him are many hundreds of small wooden fishing boats.

But they are not looking for fish - their holds are filled with piles of green algae. They take it ashore and from there it is taken to landfill.

The government is erecting booms and netting out at sea, to stop the algae coming ashore, but it has no answers yet for stopping the weed growing in the first place.

As the banners along the roads proclaim, the army has a two-week deadline to get rid of the slime.

The pressure is on: the Olympics begin in just over a month.

green algae that has overwhelmed ...can we eat and benefit?

Locals say the algae has never been so thick here - agricultural and industrial pollution are thought to be responsible.

But China, embarrassed by the most vivid proof yet of its environmental problems, says the algae is a natural occurrence, and blames the sea for being too salty, the sun for being too hot.

***** Japanese factories is pioneer in processing Algae for food. There are advertisement of modern cultivation of Algae...look

plenty of natural Algae...now a pest ???!!! Can we believe it ? we are going to have new food source..no way. Every body like food that our parents used to feed us. Sweet memory and happy present food source..means true happiness

my friend, plan our safe journey

Leptospirosis reported around Thailand and southeast Asia region where heavy rainfall is related.
All food must be cooked and drink 'boiled and clean water' ....even for washing face, hands and brushing teeth. Wishing you a nice trip...

Quoted:
　（曼谷讯）泰国爆发传染性极高、并与感冒症状类似的夺命“鼠尿病”（钩端螺旋体病），准备前往泰国旅游者应小心防范。

be steady my friends, $ is only a tool for healthy, happy life

How bad is the inflation, then deflation, then recession ?
How to react...

We may compare this world is sick like a 30 years old mature person. Still got potential to recover and be in good health again.

Similar to natural hazard...Artificial hazard caused by 'a group of people' is not healthy to all of us.
We can focus positively to rearrange our priority. Our activities can include finding minor things and include major measure of major investment and long term health planning..for total health...which is all rounded good health physically, mentally, socially,'financially',emotionally....start with a smile..

ok, quoted financial information as .....
Speculation... is increasingly affecting the price," he said. "The price has this parabolic shape which is characteristic of bubbles," he said. ( refer to oil price)

'We face the most serious recession of our lifetime'

The comments are significant, not only because Mr Soros is the world's most prominent hedge fund investor but........

( ok...think positively...we can read, think, prepare for careful buying useful items yet still protect our environment( appropriate use and no wastage)..

Wishing you a good day....from Dr. Chong

avoid danger=ensure health

The scenery will be nice. choose the right time. for example, it is safer to travel around Sichuan China in 3 years time. How about 10 yeas later? yes...most likely safer.

科学家警告，由于地震有时是一连串发生的，因此四川地区可能再度受大规模余震影响。

　　罗埃登指出，四川盆地和西藏高原之间的边界处处是陡坡，属“地质非常不寻常”地段，单是面积50公里的地段，海拔就大约高涨3500公尺。

　　地震震源就在印度和亚洲两个地壳板块之间的部分边界，两个地壳板块的不间断碰撞，导致喜马拉雅山群和西藏高原形成。

　　不过，西藏中、西部的大部分地球地壳活动，都发生在肉眼看不见的地方，从而使原本薄弱的地壳底层变粗超过15公里。罗埃登说，该地壳正逐渐从西藏中部向西飘浮，碰到四川盆地时，却得绕过盆地而行，是造成那里的景观如此极端的原因。

　　罗埃登补充，四川盆地和西藏高原之间的海拔悬殊，是造成根本地质压力，导致大地震的原因。

（巴塞尔综合电）国际清算银行（BIS）全球央行年会的与会官员警告，未来10年全球经济处境将十分艰难，今年底前全球经济将陷入迟缓，这比预期中的还要恶劣。
国际清算银行在其年度报告中指出，全球经济可能接近“引爆点”，预计经济增长出现严重放缓，全球经济将从目前的高通胀时期进入到通胀紧缩期。

　　报告说，食品和能源价格上涨对真实可支配收入的影响，金融机构贷款能力的下降以及居民的高负债水平可能导致全球经济增长放缓，这可能比要求控制通胀影响更为深远和持久。

　　它说，随着时间的推移，这甚至可能导致通货紧缩。
