Fear and The Lady




“Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerade as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man’s self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilised man.”
- Aung San Suu Syi

The Lady is truly a courageous worrier who knows what the value of life is about. She has suffered much over the years with so much dignity and grace.

The world is truly blessed to have such a beautiful soul living in our midst. She is serving like a beacon of hope to all the people who have lost sight of hope and defeated by the evil that exists everywhere.

So, do not be afraid - overcome the fear! It is better to live a courageous, short life than to cling to a meaningless and cowardice one.

Winds of Change




'The winds of grace are always blowing, but to catch them we have to raise our sails'
- Sri Ramakrishna (Indian Mystic)

Yes, opportunities are all around us. It is only when we recognize the winds of opportunities and take concrete actions would we be able to reap its rewards.

It is up to us to accept that changes comes into our lives everyday.

We can neither deny it nor reject these changes.

We just have to have the grace to accept these changes and believe that we will reach a better place because of what we did.

So, do not be afraid of the winds of change.

Instead, welcome it, rejoice in it and be thankful for the new opportunities that comes with it.
