1. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
2. The ruthless gain only wealth; if you want to gain wealth you have to be ruthless; you have to be ruthless when it counts.
3. A broken man, is hard to come by.
4. I don't have a car, but I get to walk the talk.

Selangor

1. Aspirational but not inspirational
2. Permanent friends or permanent interests?
3. Disadvantaged to resilient students- a beautiful process that I want to be part of
4. We respond to incentives
5. Attract the best to teaching- Precious few have truly inspired me
6. Hidden love, is not love at all. To extrapolate it further, the state government of Selangor needs to highlight its achievements to the Rakyat. Without which all their hard work will go to waste if the Rakyat are not under the impression that the government has brought about unprecedented income into its coffers.

"The 4 PR states of Penang, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan have beat the other 10 BN states by attracting RM25 billion in investments comprising 53% of Malaysia's total investments of RM47.2 billion in 2010. For the first time in history, Penang is now the new champion of investments in Malaysia, coming out top in 2010."
7. Memorable dinner, memorable lunch
8. Be comforting first
9. Deuteronomy 11: 8 Observe therefore all the commands that I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan
to possess,
10. Obedience brings with it strength

1. The growth zone is always outside the comfort zone, you will never grow if you settle for the status quo

I attended a lecture today by two Aborigines from Australia where the topic of discussion was cultural safety. During the introduction, the speaker drew up a map of Australia that was fragmented into 207 pieces. Each of the fragments represented an Aborigine tribe with a specific language. I had no idea that the Aborigine race was so diverse. Currently, there are 500,000 Aborigines of which more than 50% of them reside in the urban areas. Where are the Torres Strait Islanders located?
