Quote of the day

"My friends, there are no friends"- Coco Chanel.

taken from oline's msn nick.. i thot that was an interesting statement.
any woman who comes up with such statement is definitely worth observing, worth respecting.

because beyond the laughter and everything..
friendship is often only as thick as a dollar note.

do you think it's a coincidence that many businesses that begin with friendship, end in animosity?

we would be making a big mistake if we throw the 'friendship factor' into equation when we start a business partnership.
'friendship' shall never be in.
it is never an asset.
and at times, it can be an liability.
but when you treat it as a possible liability,
i am quite sure you will be much safer.

simply put..
in the eye of friendship, business shall never be made important.
and in the eye of business, friendship shall never be made important.

actually rockefeller once said smt like this:
dont make business out of friendship but make friends from business...something like that..cant really remember the exact word, pokoknya artinya lebih baik dapet temen dari business partner daripada menjadikan teman sbg business partner

oh yes read that quote before as well.. very well said bro.. very true.

so i thank God that i have some people around me who i can call both my business partners and friends.

i think the key is greed. kalo ga ada yg serakah, akan lebih kecil chance kita ribut sama temen krn bisnis.

Too Wild at Heart?

Here.. is an essay written against John Eldgredge's controversial book, Wild At Heart. The essay is quite heavy on theology, but it certainly worths reading to balance ourselves if we were to read Eldredge's book. I believe Wild at Heart is one of the best books I have ever read but all the same, I always felt that it is also one of the most dangerous ones. John Eldredge is one of those blessed with talent to come up with words so powerful you will nod your head in agreement without digesting them, most of the times. And that's why I love the book so much. But I suppose Eldredge is only human. He, like many other servants of God, has the tendency to swing towards the extreme of his own belief that sometimes, they (or we) fall into this trap of 'creating God in our own image'. I believe that the essay in itself has flaws and my own opinion, definitely, also has flaws. Geez I am not even a Theologist. But ultimately, none of us has that complete wisdom to understand G

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

As Aya's condition gradually worsen, she could no longer walk or stand anymore. She would sometimes choke when she eat and she struggled to speak. There was only one thing that she could do, albeit which much difficulty. She could still write. One day her mum visited her at the hospital and seeing her struggling hard to write her diary, her mum asked her to rest. But she said.. "Okaasan.. you said that I can still write right? That's the only thing that I could still do. I have to write what I have in mind now because that is the only prove that I am living today." Even when she could hardly hold her crayon, she would still write her diary. I do not know whether the movie followed the true diary content but in the movie.. Despite the diary began with her questioning why she had to be the one to suffer from this cruel disease, it sweetly ended with a word: "Arigatou". Thanking her parents and siblings for being there right to the end, thanking her friends for
