Every action, seeds the future. Even on social media.

Clickbait.
Don't know what that means?
Click here for its meaning: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/clickbait
Before clickbait stories (extremely short pieces) came along, there was something known as journalism.
But we now know that the knights of the journalism order are a dying breed, or extinct, due to the world's hunger and greed to sell digitally.
Those days, newspapers called it sensationalism.
Today, this need is called a trend.
A trend that was created from a need to make the world a better place to live in.
The digital age is wonderful but it comes with many uncountable prices to pay.
What about telling the truth to expunge the evil side of man?
To stop bigots and bullies from trampling on the weak.
Are we not forgetting to uphold this simple virtue of humanity for the sake of getting more eyeballs amongst those aged 21-35?
What about raw and accurate facts in stories found on the web?
What about justice instead of profits?
I bet the majority won't even make a stand.
That's where we have ended up.
It is now a world of senseless opinions, peddled by innocent and unsuspecting humans sucked into this life of a keyboard warrior.
Most, become haters as they are known nowadays.
After reading this line, put down your digital device and look around you.
Look closely... No one is talking and listening to each other.
Peace and love to all.

What Matters Most Is Inside You

Somehow, humans are a bunch of sensitive, overreacting bunch!!! Observing the way things have been going, it is obvious that the world, and in particular, the human species will never change. Our lives are filled with the trails and tribulations of evolution and co-existence. Wars... they are inevitable and have always been existent even before billions of us were born. With the good, comes evil. IS ANYONE GOING TO STOP THE GENOCIDE HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST? Never mind that... Just look into the mirror and ask yourself whether you have felt anguish and hatred towards another human being? Have you gotten so angry before that you felt like strangling an irritating, back-stabbing colleague? Yes..., you have right? It is okay that you have had such feelings as we all have faced our fair share of bad and evil people in our lives. Do we just sit in silence or do we do something about it? When I was younger, I would have chosen the latter cause of action. Nowadays, I am trying my best to

SHARING WHAT I LEARNT... SO FAR!

Throughout my life, I have been blessed with many experiences from challenges - the good, the bad and the ugly. Like most other humans on Earth, there have been times when there seems to be no hope. The dark days were often filled with calamities in career and finances most of the time. Sounds familiar, right? For me, I have been fortunate to have family and friends to be there for me. May they be blessed with a happy and prosperous life. One thing is for sure, I realized now at 54, not all bad days will stay, just like good happy days. This realization comes from the "polishing" of my inner-self over the years; the hammering of the ego, the much-needed slap of my pessimistic nature... heck, whatever weaknesses that I was born with. Wisdom setting in? The meeting with many people that I came into contact with in my life, and the various situations that I had to deal with in my career and personal life of course, was the foundation laying of this realization. Learning from the

REMINDER: BE KIND

Have people forgotten to be kind & respectful to each other? Hello beautiful people. I was awakened by inspiration to write on this topic. In our daily lives, we meet many people who are either nice or toxic. If we're lucky, some of us can feel people with kind or bad energy. The experiences are unavoidable and is part of our life path or fate, I suppose. Yin and yang, I have personally encountered good and bad people. More good and kind souls, thankfully. But either or, they are blessings of experience that have given me awareness and wisdom. Recently, I have encountered many rude people. They seemed to have forgotten their manners or the basic need to be kind and loving to others. Some are just plain rude. Has the desire and greed for success, money and power gone to their heads? We must remind ourselves that we cannot change people though. Here are some tips for everyone to be aware of their speech and actions daily: Be kind You are not better than another person Don'
