Question of the day : Where is the wealthiest place in the world?

a) USA
b) Europe
c) Nose .. you can get alot of gold from there
d) Cementry O_o

haha .... wad do u tink it's the ans ??
Well if it's a, b, dun look at c ... den it's wrong ... well it's in D..... y ? Y is the cementry the richest place in the world? Look at it this way ... Six feet under the layer of soil .. lies the bodies of humans with untapped potential ... unfinshed dreams ... unused Talents. Don't you tink if the great dreams fulfilled by this people would amount to a great wealth [assuming they dreamin big and not dirty]. This brings to the title of the sermon preached today .... The Potential Principle

Defn of Potential: It's the dormant ability, reserved power, untapped strength, unused success, hidden talents and uncapped capability of men. In short it is an unexposed ability and latent power of men.

Extra words of wisdom:

1) Our life is like a cup. God pours "potential" into it to fill up our cup. Hence the term living life to the fullest is to maximise and use up all your potential .... by pouring it out .. every single drop of it

2) The greatest tragedy in life is not death ... It's to waste the potential of life in you.

3) The greates threat of being what you could be is complacency

4) We are born original .. so let's not die as a copy ... use your potential

5) To die with ability is therefore to die with irresponsibility

6) What is good is often the enemy of the best

7) Nothing great in life is instant ... hard work is required

Hmm a great principle .. yah yah ?
Well tat's food for thought ... and to my christian friends something to take note.

As i was travelling back... i felt kinda awkward ... cos i am stucked between one of my Christian friends and another visitor to our church .. Dorothy :). Both of them were toking abt Chinese Musics which i have totally no idea who sings well or what songs rock in the chinese world .. cos i am not really in-tuned to chinese music. So the bla bla bla bla .. and me being in the middle just look at one side. .. den turn to the other side ... back and forth ... like those stretchin exercises you do before PE. (". ) (. ") (" .) (. ") Finally my friend left cos he has to go back to school to take his textbook .. which he forgotten to take home ... haha so left me and her. The sad thing about me is i am not proficient in Chinese .. it's very hard for me to communicate wif her. But she turns out ot be a good conversationalist. Well she got a grade 8!! at the age of ten for Piano ... and now she has a diploma as a pianist... dunnot wat level liao.. She told me she can play any songs ... just by listening to that song.... no need for any score-book. power huh? She noes chinese Gu zheng and Guitar too. Her mother is a violinist. Superb men. A real music-oriented family. And i also find out that students in China study up to 12 hrs a day !! aas in they spend 12 hrs in school ... from 0630 to 2100. Hardworking huh ?? ... She always get full marks for maths ... [--]' child prodigy ... artistic .. plus child prodigy men ... lol i got a hp number :) so next time need help can ask her ... hope she dun use funny equations to teach me can liao. And the school system is even worst than Singapore from wat i heard. Their teachers use books to bang on students .. and call them stupid. Seems ordinary to everyone there. Very strict and harsh school system. So S'pore kids dun complain so much men =P
okay tat's all for my sharing abt today .. tired [zz]" need to sleep (@.@) zz
