a better tuesday
i'm lying on my bed with laptop propped up against my bended legs, sitting on my stomach. it's 10pm and i want to sleep soon, today's a better tues cos get to go home early on a working peak period. random thoughts.
had a nice chat with the taxi driver on the way to a company far off from my office. he complained abt his son who's 27 and still hanging around with playful friends and spending every dime of his pay on entertainment. also talked abt his view on all religions are the same, being a Buddhist but also helped to fetch old ppl to every sunday church service. I didn't tell him abt the truth that lingers on my mind... should tell.. don't just try to understand & please ppl only... sian
had an ok but tiring day at work though no OT. dinner @ Wendy's. new fastfood @ lau pa sat. so full now. may get fatter. slim plan failing, no good, not healthy. lethargic. mom nag. ha.
my colleagues are fun n responsible, hard to find.
it's weird but started developing interest in economics. Interesting to learn to be the final user of financial information and dream about creating wealth for missions.
warren buffet & zig ziglar, new books for reading. book worm lately. need to prioritize TAWG n read more God's word instead.
doing the will of God vs Quest for self-fulfillment.
Common misconception abt money: Ownership vs Stewardship
Need to be more diligent and do the things that should be done, now.
A better tuesday. sky darkens, wind caresses the leafs to sway and sleep

man
Had a really tiring weekend, understood that I can't shoulder some tasks alone, if not I will fall sick / burn out soon. Need to learn to delegate, encourage & raise up others =)
Going to sleep now at nearly 10pm, cos simply very tired, read about a passage from a book that light up my eyes, so i'm whipping out my laptop to type this before going back to read & sleep =P :
Elisabeth Elliot, a woman I deeply respect, wrote to her nephew Pete, "The world cries for men who are strong - strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer. I pray that you will be that kind of man - glad that God made you a man, glad to shoulder the burden of manliness in a time when to do so will often bring contempt.
I want to be that kind of man. I have a long way to go. I fail more often than I succeed. I let my sin, my fear, and my laziness get the best of me. But i want to change. I know that God has made me a man for a reason. No matter what culture says, or even what some women say, I want to gladly 'shoulder the burden of manliness'.
I guess the best example to be a man is by looking at the life of Jesus while he was on earth, gentle like a dove, wise as a serpent, rebuke when necessary, forgive freely, enjoy life in busyness, speak at the right time, lead by example, give out of compassion, suffer for the right cause, take care of family even in lowest point of life.
It's good to remind myself, else I live day by day merely to get by.
Best friend getting married soon, someone's gotha be the driver =P
