When a live person falls into the water, he/she sinks. But when the person is dead and the soul is gone, his/her body floats in the water. While there are scientific explanations for this, can we still infer that it is the soul that gives all the weight and strength to the body, and the body by itself does not matter when the soul is gone? The soul needs to be nurtured all our life, and the body only needs to be maintained during our lifetime to be a fit container for the soul.

I have learnt that the secret to living a fulfilling life is to live it in binary. Binary is represented by 0 and 1 in mathematics. 0 represents nothing and 1 represents everything. In life, aim for everything in anything you want, or end up living with nothing at all. If you want a house, build the best house you can. If you love a woman, love her with all your heart to win her love or resign to the fact that you will never ever get her. Live with everything, or live with nothing. No fractional compromises between the 0 and 1. This is what binary teaches us in life.

There is no limit to what we can become, from what we are, if we are willing to let go off what we want, and focus on what we need.

The safest, most-cautious person is often the first person who gets killed in battle. Life is risky, so play by the rules of the game you are playing, not by your own set of perceived rules.
-----
We often stoop (slouching) in our posture. But when we just straighten our spine, lift our head and walk with head in the air, we realize we have gained a few inches of height we never even knew we already had. Same way in life, when you are feeling down and bent, just lift yourself with all strength and skill you have got, and walk with your head in the air. You will then gain the height in your stature in life. It is all in the attitude.

A manager should be a good teacher because his/her team members are his/her students. They try to imitate the manager in their work because they believe that their managers are successful because of the way they operate. Thus managers have a bigger responsibility in molding the professional life of a team member.

Cockroach has a better survival rate than the lion. But the lion dies in battle while the cockroach is beaten to death. What will you be?
-----
Man tries to distinguish himself from animals, calling himself superior. But the only difference between man and the other animals is that, man has learnt to survive by the power of his mental strength and capability. Animals have learnt to survive by the power of physical strength and capability. But when it comes to instinct, viciousness, stealth, deadliness and nature, all animals are almost the same, including man. But animals still remain honest.

Not getting what you want in life is sadness,
Not getting the chance to get what you want in life is misery,
Letting go of the chance to get what you want in life is pathetic,
But listening to the person who has done the immediate above is depressing.

A common buzz word used in corporate today is 'pipeline'. Everything is on the pipeline - business, revenue, projects, facilities, infrastructure, food, thought process, ideas, innovation, even nature calls, etc, etc. If every pipeline that is spoken about is converted into real world pipes, corporate world would be a big plumbing mess in a stinking closet!

Every day I exercised, the evil in my mind and body were exorcised!

The fool looks at the light bulb to find out if it is switched off.
The learned looks at the light switch to find out if the light is switched off.
The enlightened can tell if the light is switched off just by looking into the room even from far away.
This room is your mind.
Light is your knowledge and the darkness is your ignorance.
Seek the light.

Live life to the fullest. Close all items in your To Do list, so that it does not become your bucket list.
-----
When your going is good, you get chances. And when your going isn't good, your choices get you.

The mistake that most teachers do today is trying to build discipline into the child's behavior instead of building it into the child's character. It's like trying to paint an old car to make it look brand new. What's inside will only drive it, not what it appears to be.
-----
What our parents teach us in life are formulas that build our character. We use our sixth sense to apply the correct formulas to our daily life situations that builds our behavior.
-----
Getting married is like wearing a contact lens. it does not always set in right at the beginning. You will then have to adjust it little by little till you feel comfortable. But in this time period there will be tears and irritation. But if you then handle it roughly it will tear and be gone forever. You cannot mend it. Sometimes, people do end up going in for a new pair of contacts altogether! Then it is the same story all over again.
