Next time you are upset, remember it’s not so much people who makes you angry,as your thoughts about them.

If you fear loneliness, you’ll attract that.
If you fear embarrassment, you’ll fall on your face.
It’s your life’s way of encouraging us to grow.
The only way to beat fear is to face it.

When your body hurts, pain reminds you to take a rest, or maybe to change your shoes or to find a better way.
When your mind hurts, pain reminds you to quit worrying or to be more forgiving, or to think a different way.
Pain is not your enemy.
Pain is your friend!

Courage is acting in spite of fear.
People who do nothing with their lives are just as scared as people who take major risks.

Famous Fried Carrot Cake in Clementi, Singapore

Hi,

This is a picture of the boss/or master chef of the famous fried carrot cake in Clementi Market, Singapore. This market is near to the Clementi MRT station and serves lots of good food. But for me, i just like the fried carrot cake served by him. Heard he has been making fried carrot cake for more than 50 years experience. No wonder it is so tasty. I must say that the carrot cake is second to none, in Singapore.

Besides his great cooking, there is also something interested in his stall. His son is helping him with the stall, and is in charged of collection of money, order placement as well as servicing it to the customer.This young man wears a pair of sports shoe and he run from one corner of market to another corner to make delibery services. Truly athletic and inspirational in his dedication to serve his customer with the food asap.

Do find time to check out their stall at Clementi Market.

Interesting Quotes from Andrew Matthews

Halo Planet,

Following are some inspirational quotes that i find it interesting while reading through Andrew Matthew's "Happiness in A Nutshell" book. This is more like a "bible", a field book - that makes us feel so much better when we read through it at time of sadness and/or unhappiness.

Usually, the best place to make a new start is where you are!
Before changing your address, consider changing your thinking!
When you change, your situation changes.
It is Law.

We all fail.
But it is not failing that hurts.
What hurts is knowing that you didn’t give your best.

Have the discipline to do little things you don’t like-
and you can spend your life doing the big things you do like.

Happy people don’t just accept change, they EMBRACE it!
They are the people who say:
“Why would I want my next five years to be like my last five?”

The moment you get too attached to things, people, money…you screw it up!
The challenge of life is to appreciate everything and attach yourself to nothing.

On giving advice:If people aren’t asking you, they usually don’t want the information!
