Void

The absence of thoughts lay the foundation for new ideas. An idea can be borned out of nothing, having no pre-conceived guidelines to shape the mind. When there are no expectations, chances are when you flip a coin up, it might just land standing.

Self-contentment

Less is more. The less I have, the less I will stand to lose. Material possessions are immaterial as long as I have what I really need.

Wisdom

Adding wisdom in life does not equate to increasing knowledge. On the contrary, it sheds away the unessentials and focus on what is important; similiar to chiselling the edges of a sculpture for the finishing touches.

Religion

Does men depend on religion to flourish or do religion need men to flourish? A man seeking nirvana may embrace a belief in Alpha Omega. But in the absence of faith, religion is like an empty cup. Without water, the cup hardly fulfill its theme.

Senseless pursue

Life folly lies in the senseless pursue of wealth. In attempting to achieve riches, sometimes we give away life's greatest gift, our health. Without an able body, even the best diamonds will lose its dazzle on us. Do not neglect health for wealth; or you will end up with neither.

Concentration

It is not the quantity of time spent on studying, but rather it is the quality of time that matters more. Concentration is being oblivious to everything else other than the subject of your focus.

Embrace the now

Too many people missed out on the essence of life by dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. As I aged, 3 words become very clear. "Life Goes On" The moment is the only thing that can impact us and therefore our attention should be devoted to it.

Consequences from acts

An act of faith embarks on the belief of the unseen; an act of courage begins from challenging the unknown. Yet the consequences from these acts will distinguish us from idiocy and brilliancy.

Process Vs Ending

In every process follows an ending. The splendour of life lies in being part of a process. When it ends, continuity ceases; which explains why success is a process to be revered and not to be viewed as a conclusion to life.

Unlearning learning

The best way to approach learning is to unlearn all your previous learning.

Wealth

Wealth is not measured by how much you can accumulate but how much you are willing to share.

Thought and reality

To think of failure before we begin; is like adding weights on your body to climb a mountain. In pursuing success, we ought to be free of all undue burdens. Let the real obstacle be the only obstacle. Do not create more to add on to what is already in front of you.

The voice within

You can be your own best ally or enemy. If you are in sync with your inner self, you can achieve great things. If you are in conflict within, even the simplest of task seems daunting. In solitude, do not spend time alone; instead connect with yourself.

Conformity vs creativity

What good does education do you if it makes you conform to pre-conceived ideas from past research? Creativity cannot be taught. It comes natural to you if your mind is like a blank sheet of paper, ready to accept new and unprocessed ideas.

Life

Life is best to be lived, not conceptualized. For when the moment of truth arrive, it is the means that matter more than the ends. The richness in life is appraised on feelings and not quantifiable by facts nor figures.

Reasonable contentment

Before we start to show resentment to the traffic jams that delay us daily; think about the people on the other end of the world having to walk several miles to make a living. These are the people who truly live their lives and happy with what they have.
