Dear Friends,
Have you ever been approached by 'physically challenged' individuals selling souvenirs and whatnot, while having meals at public places? I believe most of us have and believe me, most of us don't enjoy it at all. This is one of the classic cases of 'damn if you do; damn if you don't'.
Well, you see. We buy the souvenir (which is most likely useless) or donate some money because we try to help the 'individual' in our small way but if we turn him/her away, we feel guilty about not helping. At the back of our mind, there is always this little thought that some unscrupulous business people are trying to take advantage and profit from our guilt. Or are we naturally charitable or like to be seen as one? How about you?
May GOD bless you.

The Rich Becomes Richer while The Poor Stays the Same or Becomes Poorer
Dear Friends,
Many of us will say that this world and life is never fair. We always ask, "why do the rich gets richer while the poor gets poorer when both put in equal amount of work?" In fact, most of the time, the poors seem to have it tougher in term of labour and time at work.
Well, of course as usual, I do not have an answer. However, my two cents worth is that the nature works fairly all the time. If you do not believe this to be the case, observe the people and environment around you. Take a little time to observe. There is always a reason for something to be the way it is, the Cause and Effect if you will.
Have a good weekend. GOD bless you all.

What is your 'defining moment' in life?
Dear Friends,
I attended a very enjoyable talk recently. The speakers are some of the finest in their trades. I am always amazed by these 'successful' people who like to say that money is not everything (or in another word, 'not very important'). And it never stops me from thinking that there is some kind of a 'conspiracy' by rich people to discourage not-so-rich people like us from working our butts out for money. But this is another story for another time.
If you have one choice only, what is your life's turning point? The so-called 'defining moment'? Enjoy pondering...
God bless you ALL.
