  • Power of Conviction

    When you tell a lie you have to believe what you say is true.

    If we tell a lie with conviction, it will become a truth and the distorted truth will give you the power to negotiate. I am not teaching you to lie. I am teaching you the power of conviction, to persuade someone into believing something.

    When someone start to believe in you, you have the power to negotiate to your advantage to get what you want.

  • 最疼的那个才是妻

    吃在肚子里才是饭
    穿在身上的才是衣
    送给情人的才叫花
    最疼的那个才是妻

    We are not talking about what we eat into the stomach is consider food or only what we wear is consider a shirt. What it mean is, the action we do and care for somebody, that come from our heart, will reveal to us who we really love.

    We have food everywhere but we do not eat everything we come across. We only eat what we like. We go shopping and only buy the clothing we like to wear. The actions of eating and buying arise from what our heart want.

    We desire to have so many lovers around us daily, but who we really love? We can buy flower to charm our lovers. We can spend our time to sweet talk them. But the one our heart’s desire, is the woman we show concern most and take action to care for.

    In situation like this we have to make decision swiftly and pick the best and option out the bad to make effective decision for a better result.

  • We, The Willing

    Many friends had asked me how come I had the zeal, the strength, to do extraordinary things and explore the unknown. Many people portrayed me as a daring person, an entrepreneur, adventurous guy, trill seeker, etc.

    Many did not know how much I had sacrificed to come this far.

    All summed up in this statement below I came across fifteen years ago.

    We, the willing,
    led by the unknowing,
    are doing the impossible,
    for the ungrateful.

    We have done so much
    for so long,
    with so little,
    we are qualified
    to do anything,
    with nothing.

  • Hope Deferred Makes The Heart Sick

    I was promised to be given a chance
    at the end of the twelfth month.
    “What a wondrous pleasure,” I thought.

    This promise was my esprit
    but now an affliction.
    It encouraged when I am discouraged
    but now it drained my virtue.
    It also turned my sorrow into a merry heart
    but now where’s the joy?

    The twelfth month came
    but the promise did not.
    Meaningless! Utterly meaningless!
    Everything was meaningless without the promise.

    Three sentiments I have suffered,
    four, I am being pricked:

    My soul dries up,
    my emotions dominate.
    My self-esteem is gone
    and my heart is no God but God.

    How silly I am to believe in positive confession.
    Why does the present truth churches embrace it?

    Am I so worthless that I don’t stand a chance?
    What have I, what have I done to deserve this?

    Have I demanded too much
    the companionship of my beloved?
    How much is too much?

    Lord, you have taught me agape
    and keeping the integrity of a promise.
    Will you also teach her?

    Lord, I have decided once to fulfil my calling.
    Will you for once let her find favour in me?

    Lord, your kingdom come, you will be done
    till you grant me my prudent wife.

    Once truth I have found.
    One truth I have learned.
    One truth I never accept,
    today I have to;

    A promise must be fulfilled.
    A christian may not keep his promise.


    I wrote this when Sarah broke her promise to me. With a very disappointed heart, I wrote this.

    Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. (Proverbs 13v12)
