If All Are Equal

Ok, now markets are falling, people are selling and S&P is downgrading.

So what happens if all becomes equal. In a world full of beggars who will be the king?

The one with the big stick of course!

So now we have two countries with big sticks. One just got downgraded and the other, his major money lender.

The days of mutual destruction via nukes or nuclear deterrent, is more or less over.
Today, its the world of mutual economic benefit or disaster.

No one county in this world can afford another to default.
Perhaps we have arrived at some kind of a yin and yang, night and day equilibrium economically.

24 Hours

The markets move these days in an almost continuous cycle. One day up and one day down. So tell me what change between the 5-8 hours that we spend sleeping and the next ?

You can say information drives the market but information in general is more or less readily available. With all the talking heads on TV telling you all kinds of *news* and breaking developments.

So what drives it? Fear? If all funds stop investing, what would the money do? In the first place, has anyone asked himself/herself where the funds come from ?

Unless the cycle stops - between spending and earning, the markets will just carry on.

Malaysia Day

Malaysia day is over, pretty much like any other day. Quiet and peaceful, just like any other day.

In Malaysia, there was a holiday declared.

It was nice to know that the people there get to be on holiday. It was nice to know that they had fun.

It was nice to see other people smile.

Growing Up

I happen to chance upon some old videos which I took of other's and other's took of me from a span of almost 9 years.

I saw myself then and I see myself now. I realized I have changed a lot. A whole lot. I was such a kid then, just 9 years ago when I thought I was already a grown up but obviously not.

It is quite a realization to see myself in that perspective. Stupid and immature. It took me 9 years to somewhat sort of find myself, if I ever could, or if anybody else ever can to grow up.

I just hope that I could be conscious of my own actions and its effect on others and continue to grow up and old and hopefully wiser as time goes by.

Exit

We breathe our first gasp of air by crying,

We see our first light through tears,

We fall often before we learn about walking, then running,

We continue to fall, sometimes alone, sometimes in arms so dear,

We often meet junctions and partings,

We will lose the people near and will shed them a tear,

At the end of it all, we will be by ourself, hoping,

Hoping that what we did in this life, is out of love rather than fear.

Roll With The Punches

Life or sometimes our superiors or people who you come across in our day to day life will throw us punches. Some soft some hard but punches nonetheless.

Some of us will fall and give up the fight, but I guess after years of taking these punches and rolling with it, I kind of became more and more immune to it. And it's a good thing.

We got to roll with it. Fall down and stand back up without fear or anger and just keep trudging forward towards our goal.

Today I got punched for no reason. But tomorrow is another day. And I will stand back up and face more ahead not with fury but with a sense of calm and peace, knowing that no matter what I will only come back stronger.

If

If I could take back all the hurt I cause I would.

If I could take back all my words spoken or unspoken I would.

If I could I would not one minute of your time be wasted and let them be mine.

If I could just turn back time.

But I couldn't.
