CHOICE OF ATTITUDE




" I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day to day basis is my " CHOICE OF ATTITUDE ".

Attitude is that single string that keeps me going or cripples my progress.It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope.

When my attitude are right, there is no barrier too high,

no valley too deep,

no dream too extreme and

no challenge too graet for me "


-Charles R.Swindoll

Use science and nature to teach unity

RECENTLY, I was scanning the Internet and books on the topic of unity.This is a buzz word word today for everybody on planet Earth.Country after country is trying to find ways and means to bring about unity.
Unity is the only thing that brings blessings to a country in terms of social, economic and spiritual prosperity.
We all connected with nature and one another.
The following passage caught my attention which aptly describes and gives insight into the need for unity.
"Consider the flowers of a garden.Thou differing in kind, colour, form and shape, yet in as much as they are refreshed by the waters of one spring, revived by the braeth of one wind, invigorated by rays of one sun, yheir diversity increaseth their charm unto their beauty.
"How unpleasing to the eye if all flowers and plants, the leaves and blossoms, the branches and the trees of that garden were all the same shape and colour! Diversity of hues, form and shape enricheth and adorneth the garden, and heighteneth the efffect thereof.
"In like manner, when diverse shades of thoughts, temperament and character are brought together under the power and influence of one central agency, the beauty and glory of human perfection will be revealed and made manifest."
The above passage truly explains and elucidates, using nature as an analogy to teach mankind how important unity is for everything how important unity is for everything around us.
There are many examples in science to explain unity.The atom will not optimally function as an atom without harmony between the neutron, electron and proton.
It is high time we use science and nature to teach unity to mankind which we urgently need for our survival as a species. If not our extinction is inevitable.

Don't Take Racial Unity For Granted

  1. As Malaysians of Chinese origin celebrate the lunar New Year of the Tiger, it is appropriate for them to ponder and reflect on the past achievement toward nation building and prepare themselves to face the multifarious challenges that lie ahead.As part of the Malaysian community,Malaysian Chinese should take pride in the fact that they have made many contributions since the time of independence to help develop together with their fellow Malaysians,Malaysia into what it is today.
  2. The Chinese New Year,just like other Malaysian festivities, should not only be celebrated by the Malaysian Chinese.On the contrary,through the concept of open houses, other race should join in the celebration in the spirit of 1Malaysia.
  3. The intermingling of various races during festivities helps to reinforce goodwill, unity and racial harmony in this multiracial country of ours. This is vitally important as it forms the basis for building national unity.
  4. I wish to remind all malaysians that racial harmony and unity must never be taken for granted as shown by recent events affecting religious harmony.We have to ensure that the country's unity, painstakingly built and carefully nurtured over over the yaers and which remains one of our conerstones, is not threatened by any quater.
  5. To realise this, Malaysians of all races must be totally commited to the need to give and take in a multi-racial community..
  6. The fact that all Malaysians are able to live in peace and harmony, so elusieve in other troubled lands, bear testimony to our willingness to co-exist with one another.
  7. There for, let it be the resolution of all Malaysians to work tiressly to preserve, protect and promote our peace and harmony.
