Dina,

>i want money. i like money. money money money.

Money is:-

a) a fluid conduit for exchanging value and
b) one store of value

Which means if you solved a problem [1] whereby

1) you properly perceived the problem

2) you make available your solution to the problem at a fraction of the cost of the problem itself

One of the first questions I ask when I am Instant Messaging someone
who only responds with single words (which is like 99% of Asians on IM)
is, "Can you speak in full sentences?". Why? I have found that those
who do not prioritise speaking in full sentences are much less likely
to realise how important grasping and reinforcing the common sense
notion of causality is. And the consequences and consequences of
consequences of not doing so. They are much less likely to grasp,
without it being pointed out (and the defensiveness that sparks), that there is a reason why Man invented
sentences and paragraphs.

Sigh... finally the itch in my mouth got the better of my brain... and I jumped feet first into this .... an online blog...Finally .... also found a few themes to blog on! hee hee...I mean... is there a place for ordinary people to change the way things are done in Singapore? I hope... but think should just vent and get on with life...I hope this journey will be fun... and no one comes looking to make me apologise or to sue me! Ugh!!Ha ha... and lest I got misunderstood right off the bat... in this case, "buaaysong" means "being uncomfortable" - and this is the meaning I want all who care to read and comment on my blog to bear in mind!! No Other Meaning!! phew!! (hopes this clear me from flames, fame, and being fair game!!!)

If you're not happy with your life now, change it. Sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? But many of believe that life gets in the way. We’re too busy, there’s not enough time, or I don’t have the skills or qualities to get what I want are common phrases I hear as a personal coach. My name is Noel Posus, and I’m a personal coach as well as the Director for Coaching and Human Development at GOORU. Have you noticed the icon at the top for the GOORU Career Portal? What we’re developing for that space is completely dedicated to you and your personal, professional and career development.

"Thought it means the human's ability to maintain temporal and spatial awareness in a multiple work environment. It is the accurate detection and interpretation of the development of self, the work place or the work environment during specific periods of time and its impact in the future"....

I recently read an email from a success journal I subscribe to detailing how organised religion promote poverty globaly. I have to say that I totally agree with this statement and other details of the email. It basically outlined that the catholic church was preaching that it is noble to be poor and that sacrifice and poverty will get you into heaven. This subliminal programing has been subconsciously stopping people having a happy and full life for generations, creating a social loathing towards affluent people. This only makes the world a worse place to live. Imagine if every one was well off, we could all fly to Rio for a coffee !! Seriously though, this makes the Catholic church and its hierachy a bunch of hypocrites as it is well known that they are one of the wealthiest organisations in the world ever.

Wall Street Journal (subscription)How Companies Pay TV Experts For On-Air Product Mentions. Plugs Come Amid News Shows And Appear Impartial; Pacts Are Rarely DisclosedOnce again, we read a story of improper activities by people who appear to be journalists.

The most depressing part of this story isn't the individual
behavior, though that's bad enough. It's the way these commentators'
big-network employers -- maybe that should be enablers -- go through
such contortions of logic to defend what's going on.
