What I've Learned : Christopher Reeve , Superman In 1987, he led a public rally in support of 77 Chilean actors, directors, and playwrights who had been sentenced to death by the dictator Augusto Pinochet for criticizing his regime in their works. Pinochet canceled the sentence after the ensuing media coverage, and Reeve was awarded with three national distinctions from Chile for his actions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Reeve |

What I've Learned : Christopher Reeve . Superman We all have many more abilities and internal resources than we know. My advice is that you don't need to break your neck to find out about them. Many people at fifty think they've already started to go downhill. I actually think the opposite. I nearly died at forty-two; a neurosurgeon literally had to reconnect my skull to my spinal column. So I survived the accident, survived the surgery, survived ulcers, pneumonia, blood clots, broken bones, and a severe allergic reaction to a drug that almost killed me in July 1995. I've been to the edge much sooner than I ever expected. The fact that I'm still here, gaining rather than losing ground, is very rewarding. Abe Lincoln put it very simply in 1860: "When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion." Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes. Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am. Out at Ohio State, a group of engineering students came up with a car that runs on electricity and goes 241 miles an hour. We could do it if we wanted to. But right now the country is controlled by people who don't want to. I don't obsess about money anymore. By not trying to hold on to it, by not trying to hoard it, by being generous with it, it somehow comes back. I used to say to my wife, Dana, all the time, "I really put the marriage vows to the test. This is not what we meant by 'in sickness and in health.' " Living in fear is not living at all. Success is finding satisfaction in giving a little more than you take. To really become free inside takes either courage or disaster. Certainly to my kids I recommend courage. http://www.esquire.com/features/what-ive-learned/ESQ0104-JAN_SUPERHEROES_1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Reeve |

I cannot agree with you both more, Fairygal and OneSharer. Life in Singapore is so hectic, it's such a paper chase.We do not have a culture of going for holidays regularly, even though it could be so beneficial to us. I always believe that one should take a break now and then, to be able to go the distance fully.As for OneSharer, a teacher's influence should never ever be under-estimated. One little sentence or action from a teacher could result in a lifetime of influence on the young impressionable minds of his/her students. "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." To all the wonderful teachers out there, you know who you are, kudos.

I think recently there has been another prediction going around, or rather a series of predictions. They are all made by a Brazilian by the name of Mr. Juseleeno who supposedly sees the future in his dreams. However, in spite of all these predictions, life goes on. It is a fact that we all 'born to live, but live to die.' It is up to us to make sense of our time on Earth, no matter how long or short it might be. There is only one thing death cannot take away from us, and that is the relationships we have built and left behind with our loved ones.That is how we live on - in the hearts and memories of our loved ones.

frd no illustration on how it works. but apprently, the droplets of the spray nearer to the victim making effective. Henceforth, take the front seat loh. Or choose lady cab driver loh, but also risky, she may send the victim to her boyfriend place. he he.

When I was young, I skipped class for a few days, during the break, for a trip. I took the initiative and asked for advanced lesson plan/homework, but the teacher simply refused. It was kind of stressful to play catch up, but I was more bothered about the teacher. Wondering why she did that.... As a kid, what teacher says is important.

End of the world? I only know that it will happen on a day that cannot be predicted. One thing is sure, sooner or later we all must die (e.g. recent disasters). May not even live long enough to see the end of the world. Agree w/ cashiertan -- Try to refocus on whatz really important as time is always clicking....whether we like it or not.

Just a thought : How come the taxi driver is not affected by the spray ? Is it bcos he puts on a mask or he has a counter chemical or the spray is aim only to the back seat ? | ||||

More practical one is huge meteoric stone hits the earth, then all living things show hands leow. An article shown in Discovery Ch 2 to 3 weeks ago. My frd also sent me the taxi's story, lately. It can be happened anywhere loh??? Another taxi's story in JB- the old lady taxi driver took an hr to send me to my friend new shop at Nusa Jaya, fr Larkin Bus terminal. She pretended not so sure of the place. I even went down the cab to ask people around. At my friend place, she charged me 50 ringgit. My frd told her off, 15mins distance cost 50?? Finally, I only paid her 30. On retrun trip back to bus terminal, other cab took me 15. |

Nostradamus revelations? I read some doomsday books before. They predict 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2006... etc... all didn't come true.

My son's mid year result is not very good. All band 3 except for maths. I was hoping that they will give some kind of revision classes during the holiday but they didn't. To me, mid year holiday is a time to reflect and catch up for those that lag behind. Because school schedule is so hectic that catching up on lagging subjects are almost impossible. But for Dec, it should be time for relax and going on holidays since all the school cirriculums for that year is over. | ||||
