20 Good Advice
I received this email titled “Anthony Robbins-Good Luck”. It has 20 good, simple advice to lead a more fulfilled life. I’m glad I’m already doing most of them already. Here is the list:
- Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
- Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
- Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
- When you say, “I love you,” mean it.
- When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the person in the eye.
- Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
- Believe in love at first sight.
- Never laugh at anyone’s dream. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.
- Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely.
- In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
- Don’t judge people by their relatives.
- Talk slowly but think quickly.
- When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, “Why do you want to know?”
- Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
- Say “bless you” when you hear someone sneeze.
- When you lose, don’t lose the lesson
- Remember the three R’s: R espect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
- Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
- When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
- Spend some time alone.
Christmas Tree
Being Muslim, Richard and I don’t celebrate Christmas. However, his family does and so I thought this year, we will have a few decorations up to carry on his family tradition. We do not view Christmas as a religious day but rather a day the entire family gets together and share a few, hopefully, good memories. Here is a photo of my first ever Christmas tree. Pretty good for a $10 tree!
Twice the Love
My good friend, Yovike, emailed me today. She just opened her second cafe in her hometown in Indonesia with her loving husband working alongside her. Annnddd she is 6 weeks PREGNANT!!! I’m extremely happy for her! Congratulations sweety! You will be a VERY good mother.
Bitter Sweet Singapore
Our flights are booked – Departing Sydney 21 Dec and returning on 25 January 2007. It’s a good 33 days to catch up with family and friends, and hopefully visit Malaysia too. It has been 2 years since I have been back there and I am looking forward to seeing everyone again, especially my grandma. I feel like crying just thinking of my much loved Mak We.
Stroke
My beloved grandma had another stroke this week. It was a minor one but it has totally weakened the right side of her already frail body. She had a major stroke about 5 years ago and she was never quite the same after that.
I’m very worried that if I waited too long to visit her, she might degenerate even more and might even forget me. So I made the decision to fly back to Singapore during my January school holidays to visit her. I hope it is not too late.
