I have a concept on helping the needy. If you were to have plenty of extra money, would you give the needy the extra money that you have. My answer is: NO!
Shocking is it? But hear me out here.
If I were to have plenty of money, I would invest on things that will teach the needy to make their own money. Example: Education, skill, work etc. To quote an idiom:
"Give a man a fish, he can eat it in a day, teach a man to fish, he can eat it for a lifetime"
Providing the needy with means to serve the society, not only increases their worth, but also the worth of society itself. By providing facilities for them to develop themselves, they will no longer be classified as needy, for they are provided with means to feed themselves.
Society itself is projecting an aura of insincerity. Corporations donate for the sake of "tax relief" and "marketing". With their ridiculous giant mock cheques, while being surrounded by the ever money hungry media. Another case is so, that some people who become rich act all cocky and end up having this sense of superiority that furthermore increases the social rift between rich and poor. I myself am embarrassed to say that I'm human.
Jealousy is also a problem. Powerful executives get shunned by the lower and middle class because they say that the distribution of wealth is unfair. But for me, these executives are people who provide jobs an opportunity for the middle and lower classes. Researchers catalyse the advancements of technology. Their research provide more opportunities. Why shouldn't their achievements be rewarded? They toil with their studies, they nurture their talents to become who they are. They themselves sacrifice a lot. Everyone should try thinking in the situation of others.
The needy also should take the initiative. Wealth doesn't come to lazy people. Not ever. If the human development facilities are there, but they themselves are too lazy to develop themselves, I think that they don't deserve the right to complain about the unfair distribution of wealth.
Its time for us to sit down and discuss.
Wisdom for the bored. And sometimes just plain empty talk. Nevertheless, enjoy! Happy reading!! Leave some comments k? :D

Human potential
An idea to unify, to relate, to find a completing theory that will push human potential towards a point of no limitations.
To combine socionics and the sciences to the mind, body and soul, and to bring this idea to mankind, is the dream I wish to bring towards the world. To achieve a wonderful balance in the being a human being, pushing them to perfection and self satisfaction, and at the same time destroying barriers that limits human potential.
Humans can swim, can fly, can walk, can crawl. They could go to the moon, climb mountains, survive the harshest climate, build wonders of art, could outrun machines and many others. But I believe that the potential we have is only the tip of the iceberg. A high percentage of our minds lie dormant, our souls mostly lies lost to the tides of materialism and the need of money. The media tells us how to think, what to wear, and dictate our mind. Furthermore limiting human potential.
For that I continue my scholarly activities by reading, talking and observing until I come to an idea. An idea that will one day make a very big difference.

Perjuangan
Bak kata seorang tokoh aku: Kalau kita tidak kayuh dengan kuat menghadapi arus perubahan, maka kita akan hanyut dan mati ditarik oleh arus ini.
Salam sejahtera. Sebelum saya memulakan, ingin saya nyatakan bahawa posting ini tidak ada kena mengena dengan unsur politik murahan yang sering dikeluarkan dalam facebook, youtube dan lain-lain. Posting ini juga tidak mempunyai sebarang unsur sindiran. Posting ini merupakan posting berkenaan perjuangan, idealisme dan lonjakan mentaliti. 3 aspek yang pada pendapat saya akan menentukan nasib negara dalam beberapa tahun akan datang. Pada post ini saya ingin menyentuh tentang topik pertama iaitu perjuangan.
Perjuangan
Perjuangan merupakan perkara yang amat mulia. Tetapi sebuah perjuanagan yang walaupun niatnya amat suci macamanapun, tidak akan membawa kebaikan jika tidak disulami dengan keikhlasan. Di laman sosial terdapat segelintir rakan-rakan yang selalu berkongsi post di facebook berkenaan opresi, agama, anaka bangsa dan sbgnya. memang eloklah kalau perkara baik dkongsi dengan orang ramai. Tetapi yang memalukan saya ialah "paradox" dalam tingkah laku manusia. Mulut kata lain tapi tangan buat lain. Sebagai contoh, ayah yang melarang anaknya merokok, sambil menghisap rokok. Perkara ni amat kerap berlaku, dan ini sangat menghampakan saya.
Perjuangan yang disulami dengan agenda tersembunyi tidak akan berhasil. Ini dibuktikan melalui sejarah. (Nazisme: Menegakkan darah Aryan, tetapi agenda tersembunyinya, membunuh ramai manusia yang tidak bersalah, Sozialisme: Menegakkan dasar ekonomi sosialis, tetapi membiar rakyat mati kelaparan). Soviet Rusia dan Jerman pada perang dunia kedua akhirnya musnah.
Setakat ini hanya segelintir sahaja rakan-rakan saya yang memperjuangkan syiar Islam yang pada pendapat saya, ikhlas memperjuangkannya. Segelintir pejuang pada zahirnya memperjuangkan perkara ini, tapi melihat tingkah laku mereka, sangat meghampakan.
A new chapter of my life
Alhamdulillah aku dah grad Bachelor. Kalau nak banding Januari 2009 dengan Mac 2013, aku rasa diri aku lagi matang dari dulu. Dalam tempoh 4 tahun ni, banyak benda yang ditempuhi. 1001 emosi, cubaan, tekanan. Di samping itu ada jugak kenangan paling best, yang sampai tua aku akan ingat.
Duduk oversea ni, famili duduk jauh. Berdikari sangat penting. Jaga hubungan dengan orang, diri sendiri dan kerja merupakan cara paling effektiv untuk menyerikan hidup di sini.
Sini, banyak benda pasal diriku ku belajar. Persahabatan kat sini memang amat dihargai, especially bila dapat rakan yang memang sekepala, memang best.
Kini hidupku diteruskan. Ku menyambung ke peringkat sarjana. Insya Allah September 2014 siap. Kerja lagi berat, tapi sebab dah terbiasa dengan kerja berat sepanjang 2012, rasanya boleh kot nak bawak. Tambah2 lagi ada geng sekepala masuk satu kos, lagilah best.
Kini ku pelajar sepenuh masa. Matlamat, nak jadi yang terbaik, nak buat sesuatu yang boleh ubah dunia ni, ke arah yang lebih baik. Itu cita-citaku, dan aku berharap agar saya dapat mencapai matlamat tersebut.

What makes a powerful decision maker
Decision making is never easy. Because once you decide, it's hard to turn back. I would like to list certain qualities that make a powerful decision maker.
- Has a clear set of priorities
- Never let emotions or personal vendettas go in the way
- Consistent and fierce in upholding their stance
- Think based on facts and figures
- Has a strong set of principles
- Futuristic
- Sees things in many perspectives
- Responsible
- Open minded
Thoughts from my heart
When emotions overcome logic,
words get played and twisted.
best of intentions become worse of schemes.
bad decisions are made. The devil smiling.
Hurtful things said.
Selfishness looms its wings.
humans become Animals
And hatred diminishes the sun's loving rays

Blog Stats
I made a survey on my blog. Amount of views in comparison to the topics presented. So far, here is my conclusion
1. The more overall the topic is, the more readers there are. Posts like Palm Oil, The Dangers of Financing and Credit, got much more views than topics which just explains my personal achievements and experiences.
2. People tend to read, but not comment. For example, this one post I got 50 views in a week, but 0 comments. Maybe they're just lazy to write.
3. Readers from Malaysia tend to skip topics based on social studies, moral, politics and psychology. Maybe some feel offended when it comes to my liberal views on politics, humans and life. The thing is that my blog is aimed at international readers and not only a few minor groups in the society.
4. Google is a major source of internet traffic. Words normally searched by people on google got most hits on my blog. Words like "financing", "mentality", "palm oil", etc. are clear examples.
5. Promoting my blog on facebook has more negative than positive side effects. Of course the readers increase. But the readers belong to the "friends" category. So, some of them use my blog as a tool of judging and stereotype. They attack me not by commenting, but sharing posts in facebook which really contradicts my opinions. Its not thinking bad,, but a matter of observing these coincidences, and the regularities that these "coincidences" occur. Examples I won't say.
Let me explain the reason why I blog, or perhaps the reason why most people blog. Blogs are pages to share your opinions. Share what you think. Share one's ideals, one's interests and tendencies. SOme people say that exposing myself makes me more vulnerable. But the thing is that, as a human, when one dies, one's action vanishes with his life. What stays are only his deeds and his knowledge in which he changed the world with. That is entirely it.
Perhaps I am no politician, or powerful patron. My words may be faint now. Perhaps even ignored and seen as ludicrous. But if i were to go anytime soon, this blog will stay and it's words catalyzing the thoughts of its readers. My opinions are never perfect. Perfection lies only in God. I just hope that these opinions become a source of critic and inspiration which will give rise to a more unified way of thinking.
