The Importance Of Failing...
While all of us aspire to at some point achieve success as we define them..i believe that at the same time achieving that success we strive for would be impossible if we fear to fail!

 Failing is underrated because we, myself included are so blinded by the desire to achieve that elusive success that often times we are indeed stuck in a loop for we fear to fail.

 I say we must embrace failing as a necessary step for succeeding. How else are we to navigate the multitude of obstacles along the way when we are terrified to be wrong? We are creatures of our environment after all. And most books or cd's or videos stress on simply doing the stuff that will turn you to be successful in areas of your choosing.

 Very few will allow the conversation  to be about failing. Failing is not the enemy, it's the most required element towards succeeding. One must then fail if one truly desires to succeed. Simple as that ! For only by failing does one learn the most valuable lessons that no Degree or Diploma or PhD's in the world can teach !

 So do not fear failure.... It's just the gate keeper to your success. It's the toll booth where you have to pay your dues before entering the 'promised' land. It will teach you more than you'll ever know....humility, careful consideration, your inbuilt weakness and insecurities among others and failing will make you value your success ever more so !!

 So dear readers..go ahead and chase that dream you have that's been forever stuck in the recesses at the back of your mind for so long. Take action now ! Wait no more ! And if along the way.....you fail.....accept that and dust yourself off, take your notes and do it again the right way this time !

 Don't listen to your self doubts ! Don't fear your limitations ! Don't be a creature without a dream...... Improve your life ! Do it not for yourself but for others that you care about !! And fail as many times as you need to as long as you get up and try again...eventually you will arrive !!!

Reminesce: Mechinta Johor Bahru And Me..(PART 1)

I was born in 1970 in Johore Bahru. And growing up in those days was an absolute joy when Internet,Smartphones were still just a concept. My mom worked at the Blood bank at the Hospital and we stayed at the Goverment Housing at Jalan Haji Yaacob close by. The times indeed have changed. We had an Indian family as our neighbor and we always always got along just fine. I had friends of all races and wore shorts to primary school. It wasn't a big deal. Malay girls didn't wear any tudung then and after my morning schooling,in the afternoon I attended my Religious School at Bukit Zaharah. The teachers were educators back then and took pride in their profession. When you caused trouble, spanking and caning was par for the course. We didn't dare complain to our parents because we knew we deserved it. It was almost a carefree existence back then.  I took the bus by myself to everywhere without my parents having to worry for my safety. Everyone looked out for each ot

The slide to Mazism....

-

Malaysia it seems is sliding dangerously towards a version of Nazism which I term as Mazism due to the constant and unrelenting use of race, religion, royalty. As with the Nazi's the new mushrooming of groups, NGO's etc promotes Malay pride (Master Race), anti jews, anti chinese and expresses dissatisfaction with things like  ICERD  without the need for proper dialogue and consultations. Sound familiar? And the authorities are slow to identify and curb such extremists views and allowing for these pressure groups with nefarious motives and intentions to gain traction and support throughout the malay citizens. What are they thinking? I am all for freedom of expression but when a group of people can threaten chaos if things doesn't go their way well....need I say more? Perhaps someone has to get hurt before we realise that this is a problem. And this is supposedly a New Malaysia. We are slowly dividing our fellow Malaysians by refusing to acknowledge the issue for politica

A Voter's Plea

Message From A Malaysian Voter I am 47 years old, married male and a father of 3 kids. I run a small cafe in a small town that most of you probably never heard of before. I have never voted before and will be voting for the first time this next GE. The reason is because I feel that NOT voting this time around with all that I see happening to my country would be a terrible mistake! I feel that even if my vote will probably not change the dire conditions we are in at least my conscience will be clear. I am powerless otherwise to effect change when half the country seems to be filled with idiots, bigots, racists and religious zealots who have nothing better to do than sow turmoil and divide us further as citizens of this great country. I feel powerless and lost and agitated by what I read, hear and watch. WTF is happening is anyone’s guess. Be that as it may I feel my one vote will register with some numbers in the cosmos of our politics and that is a start. As a voter, I’
