"The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.“


Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computers

Once upon a time in China....

There was a farmer which attend to his harvest daily. On a beautiful morning in spring, he went out to the field and attended to his harvest like usual. He plucked, weeded and fertilized. He was taking opportunity of the good weather and good surroundings. As a result, the crops that grew during the season was FANTASTIC.

One day.... a gossiping neighbour saw this good harvest and batch of grains.

The neighbour said: Hey farmer! Looks like the you got a good batch and it looks marvelous.

The farmer replied cooly: Oo it is alright.

Next season, the rain started pouring and pouring NON STOP. The farmer went out to the field to attend to his crops like he usually does daily. No matter how much he tried and tried, he could not do anything about it as his fields were flooded and the harvest died.

The neighbour gossiply came over to talk to the farmer.

The neigbour said: Oh! Too bad farmer my friend. Looks like your crops are not doing too well. The rain totally destroyed it!

The farmer said: Oh!Really? its alright.

After that, a few days later, the farmer's son, Y-Han was out to attend to the plantation with his father, the farmer. The son slipped on wet mud and fell. The impact of it caused the boy to hurt his arm. The son has always been the most helpful person on the farm aside from the animal helped used for plowing or others.

The gossip neighbour came out and said to the farmer again:

Oh! Too bad farmer my friend. I guess with your son hurt now, your crops will be affected. You have now one less hand helping you out. It is gonna be a tough time for you ahead.

The farmer replier: Oh! Really? It is alright.

So readers...

Have you guessed wad is the meaning behind this story??

Like in the story,
The farmer was not able to control the rain and
the fact that his son hurt his arm.
He responded cooly because he did not
remained with those as excuses that he could not achieve a good result in his crops.
Instead, he played down those problems and look ahead.
When the opportunity came to grow
his crops in Spring,
He took full use of it and grew a good harvest.


In our lives,
opportunities and instances will come knocking on our door.
We should learn to control what can be controlled
and learn to let go of what you cannot control.
If this opportunity is within your reach,
go all out for it.
If something is not within your reach,
learn to let go and move on.

Happy exams =)

Swan Lake in Adelaide



Yesterday in the midst of my exams preparation
I went ahead with a friend to catch the
Swan Lake performed by the Russian Ballet.
They have performed all over Australia and even the world.

Swan Lake is about a story combining magic,
love and betrayal.
I used to watch the VCD with my sis as a kid.
I bet she would have enjoyed it.

At first I had the impression was ballet was gonna be a little boring.
BUT, i was so wrong.

With every move and toe standing thing.
You can see their enjoyment and determination to put on a good show.
I can really sensed that how the crow influenced their performance.
The evil Genius in the show was really outstanding in my opinion.
Princess Odette was CHUN. She span SOO SOO SOOO many times.. awesome solo performances at times.
The prince was jus dam ngah pek

Overall:
Pau De Deux + Tchaikovsky = BRAVO!

Well to end the night, it was a friend's bday!

HaPpY b'DaY
Doo
onnnnkkkeeeyyyyyy

UniSAers and others....

Lets make this 201 post memorable:

For those facing examinations or assignments.
I know the times are tough and its simple to get weary and tired.
The uncertainty in weather is not helping as well...
but,
I hope that this helps to bring renewed passion:

"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial,
because when he has stood the test,
he will receive the crown of life that
God has promised to those who love him."
James 1:12

Facing this adversity now
we must all not give up
for we are just step to victory!

What comes after that:
Joy
Rejoice
a moment to be freee....
Celebration: PARTAY!!!!!

Lets do it ya'll!
