Shortest speech by CEO of Coca-Cola

I'm sure this has been circulated in the web quite extensively, but I though it's good to have a constant reminder - & what better way than to immortalize it in my blog... :-)


At the same time, I received another quote on value:


"An economist is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing" - Oscar Wilde -


I'm an economist - so what does that make me?

Satire - When China's President visits USA

I received this really funny comic satire on US's debt situation. It's actually quite bad considering it could be us next! Malaysia's debt is so high that my son will be working till old age & yet will not be able to pay that debt the government seem to be putting us in. Why should it matter to them when their children are already PRs of other countries. Sigh...

Wise words from the Dalai Lama

A question was posed to Dalai Lama:
"What is the thing about humanity that surprises you the most?"

His answer was as follows:
"Man" - Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn't enjoy the present,
And as a result he doesn't live in the present or the future.
And he lives as if he's never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived.”

有人向达赖喇嘛提出问题:关于人性,最让您感到惊讶的是什么?他回答:人类,为了赚钱,他牺牲健康。为了修复身体,他牺牲钱财。然后,因担心未来,他无法享受现在。就这样,他无法活在当下。活着时,他忘了生命是短暂的。死时,他才发现他未曾好好地活着。
