To Hell!

My mood was pretty much in the dumps, far far away from my usual sunny disposition. I was really in dire need of something funny this evening and so, turned to Rowan Atkinson aka Mr. Bean for comfort. Well, Friday is pretty much over so I hope this youtube starts your weekend on a cheerie mood.

Have a wonderful weekend, you wonderful peeps! ^_^

Dark Clouds

The dark days looming
Wishes of the people wrested
Decided by a single wrathful Hand
Too afraid to let the people decide

We aren't little children
We know well, our rights of the law
This ugly episode of offering wealth
The uglier representatives ran

We expected him to know
Expecting the wishes of the masses and rule of law
Now their hopes have faded; distress brought to the throne
Come the next GE, a resounding victory cry

Threats of banishment
Suppresses of tear gas and arrests
Defeat not the hopes of the pious
Prayers will prevail, as will the tides of humanity

It is not a Hand that rules the Land
But the will of the masses
Let the Hand be above all mockery
The Hand that guides, not conives

The hoppers will receive what is due
The peoples' trust they forget
Let the fall of Perak be a lesson
For the Nation, thereafter rise.

The 11 Rules To Change Our World

Robin Sharma is one of the world's leading experts on leadership and personal development. He has been recognized as one of the "Gurus" in the motivational arena.

Here is his latest inspirational write-up that I would love to share.


The Eleven Rules to Change Our World.

1. You be the change you dream of seeing (Thanks Mahatma Gandhi!). "If everyone of us would sweep their doorstep, the whole world would be clean," observed Mother Teresa. She was right.


2. Make time every day to reconnect to your highest ideals and boldest dreams. Without hope, people perish.


3. Leave every person you meet better than you found them. Life's too short to withhold encouragement and kindness.


4. As I wrote in "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari", see every setback as a stepping stone and every problem as a blessing in disguise. Contrary to what critics might say, these are NOT corny aphorisms. They are timeless truths of humanity. (And critics are just people too scared to grow their dreams anyway - pay no attention to them. The world needs more people lifting people up rather than putting people down).


5. Go the extra mile in whatever you do - you don't need a title to be a leader. And on your deathbed, you'll never regret expressing the best within you.


6. Do what's right rather than what's easy. Being a great person isn't a popularity contest. Many of the greatest leaders were disliked because they refused to bend to the winds of public opinion. That's called Strength of Character.


7. Care for your health. You elevate the world by elevating yourself and your health really matters. Why be the richest person in the graveyard?


8. Tell your kids they are geniuses - and how much you adore them. Each of us are born geniuses but lose that gift within the first 6 years of our lives as we adopt the fears and limiting beliefs of those around us. Your kids are the leaders of the future. Grow their potential. Now.


9. Learn something new everyday. As you grow, you begin to see possibilities you didn't have the eyes to see before. Read from an inspiring book, listen to an audio program, visit a good blog, go to a powerful workshop or have a conversation with an elder. One idea is all it takes to transform your life.


10. Keep your life simple. Please. The secret to success and happiness is building your life around a few important things. The person who tries to do everything accomplishes nothing. As I recently mentioned, "What's the point in being busy doing the wrong things?"


11. Remember that life is a mirror and we receive what we give out. To get more joy, give more joy. To have more respect, give more respect. To realize your dreams, help others to realize theirs.

He ended his article with a plea to let's change the world by spreading good ideals rather than celebrating negative ones.

Are you now challenged to make a difference?
