The Instant Mentality

To Ponder About 2 Comments

Every morning I wake up to the rich aroma taste of the instant coffee. Packed in 3-in-1 regular Nescafe classic, a cup of it jump start the day with extra excitement. In this fast paced world, everything has to be fast. The window of opportunity comes and goes in split of seconds. Like the other day when I passed by MRR2 on my way home, which the route that I often use. I came across a large billboard displaying 2 cups of coffee and a saucer. It forms a smiley face. It was an advertisement of a instant coffee. A 3-in-1 coffee.

Our lives had become instant society. We had instant noodles. Instant coffee. Instant messaging. Instant picture. Instant this and instant that. Everything seems come with a shortcut. 3 minutes ready instant noodle. You no longer need to wait for another day just to get your noodle. Omit the hassle to get the ingredients to prepare a meal. Just add hot water. The instant mentality that caused us to be fast, immediate effect. Like cooking. To shorten the time, we use microwave. Instant. The next minute the food is ready to be served.

We are like chasing the time. Endlessly. Even in the relationship that is has been shortcut in a way. Instant relationship. The transition between the unknown - to friend and then to couple is instant. People take the form of instant mentality. No longer being patience with the things we do. Either in every single aspect of our lives. So, what does that makes us? We enjoy instant gratification instead of the delay gratification. Like the old sayings “Susah susah dahulu, senang senang kemudian” - let there be trials and tribulations so we could enjoy the fruit of labor in the later days.

To borrow the excerpt from the site here:-

“The ‘instant’ mentality is problematic. When you don’t get instant satisfaction, many people give up and turn away, creating a lot of instability in their lives.” For Gouder, marriage here is on a losing end as the ‘instant’ mentality gains ground:

“Around 20 per cent of people change their jobs. The politicians on one side say this is positive, others negative, but what could be really happening? The truth is that today’s mentality is that ‘nothing is permanent.’ This affects marriage as well, when people start doubting whether the word they gave their wife was permanent.

How we are going to address such issue in our society….

Chest Hair Again!

Under the Sun No Comments

There were two guys living together. One of them lacked chest
hair and it seemed to become a real problem for him.

So, one day he decided to visit the doctor to see why he had no
chest hair and if there was anything he could do about it.

Well, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with the guy, and
really the only thing he could do to try and stimulate hair
growth was to smother Vaseline all over his chest daily.

The guy was elated. He went home and immediately smothered his
chest in Vaseline.

When his partner came home and jumped into bed with him, he felt
the Vaseline and asked, “What in the hell are you doing?”

“The doctor said if I put Vaseline on my chest I might be able to
grow some hair”

“You idiot,” said his partner, “Think about it. If that were true
you’d have a pony tail coming out of your ass by now”

Unpolished Diamond

Food for Thoughts, To Ponder About No Comments

by: Author Unknown, Aspiring to Greatness

How a person reacts to criticism often means the difference between success and failure. Take the case of Ole Bull, the famous Norwegian violinist of the past century.

His practical father, a chemist, sent him to the University of Christiania to study for the ministry and forbade him to play his beloved violin. He promptly flunked out and, defying his father, devoted all his time and energy to the violin. Unfortunately, though he had great ability, his teachers were relatively unskilled, so that by the time he was ready to start his concert tour he wasn’t prepared.

In Italy a Milan newspaper critic wrote: “He is an untrained musician. If he be a diamond, he is certainly in the rough and unpolished.”

There were two ways Ole Bull could have reacted to that criticism. He could have let it make him angry, or he could learn from it. Fortunately he chose the latter. He went to the newspaper office and asked to see the critic. The astounded editor introduced him. Ole spent the evening with the 70-year-old critic, asked about his faults, and sought the older man’s advice on how to correct them.

Then he canceled the rest of his tour, returned home, and spent the next six months studying under really able teachers. He practiced hours upon hours to overcome his faults. Finally, he returned to his concerts and, when only 26, became the sensation of Europe.

Am i too old to learn a few tricks of those?

The Pig and the Cow

Food for Thoughts, To Ponder About No Comments

by: Author Unknown, More Sower’s Seeds

“Why is it,” said the rich man to his minister, “that people call me stingy when everyone knows that when I die I’m leaving everything to the church?”

“Let me tell you a fable about the pig and the cow,” said the minister. “The pig was unpopular while the cow was beloved. This puzzled the pig. ‘People speak warmly of your gentle nature and your sorrowful eyes,’ the pig said to the cow. ‘They think you’re generous because each day you give them milk and cream. But what about me? I give them everything I have. I give bacon and ham. I provide bristles for brushes. They even pickle my feet! Yet not one likes me. Why is that?’”

“Do you know what the cow answered?” said the minister. “The cow said, ‘Perhaps it is because I give while I’m still living.’”

Hello.

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so i decided to contact you through this medium.

As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Razaq Samiu, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools in the UAE. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, England and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which is the huge cash that I deposit in a bank in England Uk.

I want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I Razaq Samiu that is making this generous donation.

I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed in England where I wait for my time to come. If you are interested to help me i will give you more information about this like the amount that i deposited in the bank and Contact of the bank so you can contcat them. I will also send you a picture of my self when i am on my laptop in the hospital.

Note that you will take 20% out of the funds and give 80% to the charity organizations. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart God be with you.

If you can help respond back to me on my private email: razaq@rugas-oil.org

Can I get Kenny Ng to help out? Hehe

Quote of the Day

Food for Thoughts, To Ponder About 1 Comment

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

George Washington

No matter how things going bad. Friends will still be there. Just that despite whatever happens, if it survived the odds to come… it is worth cherish above all. Do not let such tiny things in life hinder the growth of a friendship.

That’s why it was said that during the bad times, a real good friend will walk in when everyone walks out. Who was there when you needed a listener. An ear to hear you rant, cries and your bitterness in life especially you got out from a relationship.

Who was with you when you failed in exam? Lost a job? Lost someone close? A friend in need is a friend indeed.

If we having water as fuel

To Ponder About, Under the Sun No Comments

The Sime shall out of business. Hahaha. Anyway, it is said that there is a discovery of the salt water using as fuel. Releasing hydrogen.

Taken from here

During several trials, heat from burning hydrogen grew hot enough to melt the test tube, he said. Dr. Roy’s tests on the machine last week provided further evidence that the process is releasing and burning hydrogen from the water. Tests on different water solutions and concentrations produced various temperatures and flame colors.

“This is the most abundant element in the world. It is everywhere,” Dr. Roy said of salt water. “Seeing it burn gives me chills.”

I was wondering since the world in 3/4 made of water - especially salt water, what if we have enough radio frequencies to cause it to release hydrogen and burn? Then we will be really living in a living hell.
