Principle 原则

Principle

Definitions of principle: a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning, a fundamental source or basis of something.

原则

	意向	intention, intent, character, disposition, function, principle

Context: No matter whom you are or whether you know it or not, words carry weight. When your friend is hospitalized, you mentioned you will arrange to visit but end up did not turn up even after your friend has discharged. There was another who did not mentioned of visiting, yet he came and visit.

So what am I trying to say? I know you may be busy with things, so I wouldn't ask you to visit. Rather than telling me you will visit, I rather you speak words of encouragement etc. Don't say you be arranging and yet none came.

In making your speech sound more religious, it becomes less true. Just say ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ When you manipulate words to get your own way, you go wrong.

Let me get this right

Yet another opportunity to have a great conversation with a old friend who was telling some issues he was facing for about 4 years. I think i can identify with him as i kind of went through what he experienced. So you might be wondering,'' what's going on?'' Well i am glad you ask. Haha

For the past 4 fours, he has been working really late. I mean like working Monday to Friday from 9am to 9pm or even 10pm. That's not the problem. Inasmuch you have your life to live, so does my friend. As far as i know, the company did not employ you to tai-chi. Let me get this right, my friend here is not a slave to anyone, not even this company. I speaking to what you have been doing. Pls get this right, that my friend who is also your colleague is and has been helping you for the past 4 years that he is knocking off at 9/10pm. Pls get this right: His working hours is from 9am to 6pm. As far as i know, he is definitely not shirking responsibility or whatsoever. Likewise he doesn't work for you. He work for the Company which employed him. So get this straight and right.

Let me get this straight

I have been thinking about two sentences spoken regarding me some weeks back. Some weeks back, i made a mistakes and caused a little inconvenience to my ex-manager. Later that week, his colleague who is also from CHC came to know of it and together they said some nasty and sarcastic remarks. 

Here's my reply to them: So you think you're smart because of your achievement in your studies? You think you have authority/power because you're a manager? Good luck. But before you make any opinion or comments or jump to conclusion, may I suggest that check and double confirm the evidence you have are from the reliable source. What you think, feel and see may not match with what's going on.

For as long as you're breathing, all of us are sure to make mistakes, whether you know it or not. Complaining/grumbling/scolding vulgarities won't solve the problem. Stop complaining. 

 

What is your purpose?

Just recently, i was hanging out with a bunch of guys at Hong Kong cafe. And while we were chatting away, there was this guy who from the time we sat down kept introducing aka ''advertisting'' his female friends which he claimed is single and looking for a partner to us. Was pretty disturbed by what he was doing. So i asked him,'' Is your purpose of joining this group? Is it for yourself, your desires, your needs only? He didn't answered. So i continue to ask,'' Are your friends really desperately having the urge for the merge? I know we all want to be attached and find a lifelong partner. But is your whole life revolving around your needs and desires only? If every guy is like this, where would the world be? The world is not just made up of just one type of guy. I know we have our own needs, desires, but the moment you and i came into this Earth, we are no longer alone. But even they are having the urge for the merge, are you close enough to help them? I'm trying to sow discord here but the fact still remains, it's their personal issue. Whether you know it or not, they have to deal or resolve it by themselves. I know you wanna help, but it seems like you have take things into your own hands.

Here's what i wanna say: Familiarity breeds contempt.

Thoughts

Well i know, it's been more than a month since i came back here. Well in fact, i have been thinking about some things on mind and in heart. I got a lot to share but this verse kinda summed up my thoughts.

 1-3 Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through.That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!

We saw the 6 accused standing on court in the entire month of August. So you might ask what/how does the above verse relate or link with the 6?

1.The 6 never quit when they began or started this church some 25 years ago.
2. They never lost sight of where they were going, therefore they, together with Him could put up with anything along the way which is the process and the journey to build this and the many churches around Asia.
3. And though we're not in the place of honor, yet we're right alongside with God.

To all who read this, ask yourself:
1. Where are you going in life? Have you lost sight of where you are going?
2. Are you giving up or losing sight? Do you have the character to put up with anything along the way?
3. Which is more important to you? The place of honor or right alongside with friends, family who have been with you? 

Late Post: Tranche 4

I believe some of us have heard of the City Harvest Church trial happened some 4 years ago. Since that day, 6 have been accused of misuse of more than S$50m of church funds.

Well i wanna share what i or we believe.

1. We believe the One who has place them over as as leaders.
2. We believe the One who has been watching us even them to handle the monies given to them.
3. We believe the One has been with us, in us through the past 25 years.

But before you make any opinion or comments or jump to conclusion, may I suggest that you check and double confirm the evidence you have, are from the reliable source. What you think and/or feel and see may not match with what's going on.

Just the way you are

In this world we live in, we have two types of people. First group of people are people who are perfectly healthy, well to do financially, having a good job and family. And the second group of people are people who have physical/mental disability, may not have a high paying job, or have a proper functioning family.

Often when we choose our friends, or looking for a life partner, we like to choose friends who are like us. We believe that if i can be attached to this girl or boy, i will be happy. Why? Because we are on the same group of people. We have the same attributes. But what if someone from the other group wanna be friends with you? Will you be friends with him/her? If he/she ask you for coffee, or wanna to know you better, are you going?

It does not matter whether you are in which group, humans deserved to be loved and respected. So here's what i want you to do: Save your critical comments, scoldings, telling offs in front of others.
None of us in this Earth are perfect. All humans make mistakes. Before you pass your judgments, look and think at yourself. Sure, we all have done few mistakes but that's not the point. The thing is we have been given the second chance. So therefore, treasure your life by encouraging the people around you.
