About Me

I have done a lot of things in my life and have also worked in many different jobs to make a living and to experience life. This blog is just some of my musings, sometimes funny, sometimes inspirational, sometimes sad, sometimes angry, sometimes simple but all the time, it's just me.

Character

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation,
because your character is what you are, but  your reputation is merely what others think you are.


Do you really care what people perceive of you?

Do you care about your reputation?

Most of us do, although it perhaps we should not, it is not easily done.

Perception is not something easy to wash off. Neither is a reputation.

But in this journey that I am going through, I have started to care less of my reputation - be it good or bad - and not to bothered about people's perception of me.

If people have some areas that I can improve on to make me a better person, a better human, a better soul, so be it. Maybe it works and maybe it does not. Everyone and everything has a journey of their own.

A tree may grow old for hundreds of years and be chopped down to make the dining chair that you may be sitting on now, but such is the journey of the tree.

A cow could be happily be grazing around and be the burger that you eat in a month.

My body will one day be the dust, the earth, the fertilizer for the crass and the trees ... thus, in that sense, one day I will be "eaten" by the cow or the tree or the fishes of the sea.

Until that day come, I am still in this form.

My soul, not I know where it goes.

Energy just converts to another energy form.

My character is all I know and build and live.

Take care and be well.
