my blog's becoming a dengue infested area according to lide, being stagnant for too long and breeding mosquitoes. finally had some time to keep this a safe and healthy place. if there are still mosquitoes buzzing ard your area, pls call 1800-X-DENGUE. tan kheng hua will come teach you how to keep your place dengue free in 10 minutes.
anyway main point. been reading this book called the
kama sutra of business (its clean btw) and i must say i've been quite inspired. actually i realised there are more values to take away than business management, but nonetheless i think its one of the better books i read recently. shall share a point on the blog today, as part of the plan to prevent stagnancy and mozzie breeding. afterall, you bleed for the country, not the mozzies. haha.
i think at one stage of life or another, one would ask himself this question:
what is happiness? or
how should one live to be happy? on the surface, it may seem a pretty easy question. being happy is doing things you like, hanging out with people you like, etc etc. however, i feel that the key to happiness, or happyness some call it, is contentment. being contented, void of all wants, desires, cravings would make you happy.
whenever you have wants or desires, you would have to find means and ways to satisfy it, which can be quite painful during the process. the more you want it, and the more you try, and if you failed to get wad you want, you end up being sad, hurt and the like. the examples are countless, thus i guess i need not elaborate much. thus only when one is contented can you be happy with life. this reminds me of smth we always hear in army, which come to think of it now, is quite true. don't compare. cos no matter wad, there will definitely be other people whose life are better than yours. life is never really fair to begin with. but if you were fair to yourself, you would not try so hard to achieve unachievable objectives which you end up being the one who suffers. of course, we are not disencouraging people not to be enterprising, but at times, just be contented.
life, afterall, is a zero sum game. you gain some, you lose some. it happens to everyone, no matter how fortunate your life is.
