Sometime last week, I suddenly had a new business idea and so I sought out the godly counsel of 3 friends and 2 of them were for it. So, my focus for the next few weeks will probably be on doing research, budgeting, etc. When the new business idea came to me out of the blue, one of my thoughts was how I could help people who live in the neighbouring poor countries through my business. Even though I have never thought of doing this business before, I believe that it could be a stepping stone to other business ventures that I am keen to go into.
I have finally composed the music for this song and have made some changes to the lyrics. 我终于为这首歌谱了曲,也在词方面作了一些更改。
Dare to Dream 敢于梦想
Show me who you are hanging with and I will tell you where you will be ten years from now.
~Mike Murdock (Quoted by Bryan Dodge, Author of The Good Life Rules)
I understand the importance of mixing with the right people and that is why I have been pretty careful about who I mix with and who I want to be part of my life.
Just as iron rusts from disuse, and stagnant water putrefies, or when cold turns to ice, so our intellect wastes unless it is kept in use.
~Leonardo da Vinci (Quoted by Jerry Foster, Author of Small Changes, Big Results)

The one thing that I am most passionate about is to make a huge difference in the lives of countless people across the globe.

I always have great respect for MM Lee. Now, I have greater respect for him because of his deep devotion to his wife. It's really hard to find such a man these days...
I went to Trumpet Praise today to get a gift for a friend who is going to be baptised later this month. I decided to get her an album by Tammy Trent. In this particular album, there is a song entitled "Rain On Me." Incidentally, I have written a song with the same title. I have heard some of Tammy's songs on Shoutlife.com and they are simply beautiful. So, you may want to check out her albums at Shoutlife.com.

I'm in the process of doing 'mental detox' and I guess it's important to do that on a regular basis.

I just chanced upon a website that could help me sell my songs/music and the best part is (ie. if there is no gimmick of any sort) that I will get to keep all my royalties.

I feel happy today. I also feel a certain lightness in my spirit. :)

MM Lee Kuan Yew's wife passed away this evening. In the recent past, I chanced upon an article online in which MM Lee mentioned something to the effect that his wife's sickness was more stressful to him than the stress of politics. MM Lee's devotion to his wife is really admirable.

To believe in ourselves and our own abilities is very important, especially if there are people in our lives who have the tendency to put us down. I am thankful that there is no such person in my life right now and I pray that such people will never enter my life ever again.
The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream...

I have just made some changes to this song. Now it sounds more pleasing. :) Basically, this song is meant to encourage myself to pursue my dreams and happiness. It is also meant to encourage listeners to do the same.
