I create my own reality, which is subjective.
I realize that I'm here to make my own
\"music\", sing my \"songs\" and dance my
\"dance\" and to do my own thing.
I learned that I am a walking bundle of
\"programs\".
I learned that believing and being myself is
important, but it's also the hardest thing to
do.
I realize that I am ignorant of 99.9% of the
Ocean of available knowledge which is
exploding.

Things are always not what they seem to be.
Happiness can only be found within me, not
outside of me.
Happiness is a choice.
Seeing is not believing, believing is seeing.
Every 'negative' thing that happened to me
always turned out to be a blessing in
disguise.
The underlying motive for everything that we
do is for love, yet we don't show or give
enough of it.

The more I discover, the more I realize there
is to be discovered.
Dreams have meaning when I give them
meaning.
The only person I am responsible and
accountable for is myself, because I have to
live with me 24/7 until my last breath.
All interpersonal issues with others is never
about them, it's always about the way I see
myself.

Michael Chua

Anger does not solve anything.
Nobody can makes me angry but they can
trigger my prevailing turbulence.
Many people do not listen carefully so allow
them to misunderstand for the moment.
Do not reason with depressed people. You
are assuming they are logical.
I have to feel 'good' now to continue to enjoy
'goodness' in the future.
Courage is acting against Fear not feeling no
fear to start off with.

Do not hang on to something out of Fear.
When you let them go, you free the space for
Love.
Do not compromise your clarity just because
people around you are not clear.
When you run too fast, you may drop your
coins.
Patience means not running out of your
mind or character while waiting.
Only help people who are worthy to be
helped. Otherwise you are making them
worse.

Nothing is permanent ( including this list ).
Things fail when it is not design to evolve
with changes.
One can reduces one's ignorance by learning
more about oneself and the World around
us.
Sharing what I discover about myself and the
World around me is intellectual
philanthropy.
There is power when one knows one can be
wrong.

There is always more than one way of seeing
and doing things.
Listen to people who have unpopular views.
Do one's own thinking.
If one does not make choices, choices make
one.
Connecting the disconnects.
