I suddenly have this sudden urge to blog..
This random thought just came back to me as here i am, sitting down on my chair,
getting all ready to type my script for tues's role-play..
But here i am actually blogging..
Just wanna take this time to share some of my thoughts about things..
Especially my thoughts about "Self-Help" or "Motivational" Books.

Reason for doing so?
Well, in the broken down, highly corrupted world that we are in today,
that is totally full of competition, discouragement, negativity and many more,
Human beings are desperate to get better as the days go by,
so therefore, we are always asking ourselves questions and also seeking answers about getting better.
In order to do so, we seek for counselling, ask for people's advice and also read books.

Anyway, get to the main story now..
When i was back in singapore during mid april,
On easter Sunday, i happen to be a borders with yonggao, yongjian, jiaxin and her friend..
Yong Gao was looking for self help books during that period of time..
So jiaxin came across this book written by Adam Khoo..
For most of you guys, we might know him, as Singaporeans,
But for those who doesn't know, he's some famous inspirational guy who writes books to help people..
Anyway, jiaxin was telling me how good he is and how awesome his courses are..
I happen to remember that last year, weishan was telling me how good he was also..

ANYWAY!!!
TO THE MAIN POINT..
I personally feel that reading such books..
YES it can help someone.. But so what??
At the end of the day, it's not that person who wrote that book who helped you totally..
It was because we made that decision to want to change and become a better person that made us better..
No matter how many of such books we read, at the end of the day,
it's not about HOW MANY WE READ or HOW MUCH WE KNOW..
It's about making that decision after reading the book.. To change and get better..
The book can only motivate us and inspire us..
But can u imagine that after reading it, you've decided to "orh.. like that lor"
Sit down doing nothing about it..
I bet your life is not gonna change for sure..
Think about it.. Why are such books call "self-help books" and not "let-me-help-you books"??
In basic english terms, it just basically means helping of oneself.. Helping youself..
Not being helped by others..
Get what i mean..

I remember on the last night when i was in singapore..
I spent my night walking the entire woodlands with Yong Gao aniki..
We first bought a drink and some snacks..
We sat along the really really short railing that was at the glass door nxt to KFC along CWP..
I was telling him about my this thought as well..
And he was telling me that that was what the book he was reading said!!!
About making the decision to change!!!
I'm someone who doesn't really read much books..
For me to pick up a book and finally reading it,
it must be something rare for someone to see me doing that bah..
But surprisingly, i'm able to thought about it..
Thank God for the revelation i got..
It was something really awesome..
And i'm really glad that what i said to him the entire night inspired him as well =)
I love you aniki.. So glad to have met you at Starbucks in Sept 2007..

Anyway people..
Hope that we are able to make that decision today..
Pick up a book to read.. Make that decision to change for the better
A TOAST FOR THE BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD!!
CHEERSS =)
