人生一二三！

当我们对人对事一知半解，做起事来会三心二意，搞不好，还会闹得团队四分五裂；除非大家尽力学习把队员的五脏六腑摸透了，不然做起事来总是心里七上八下，就算是费了九牛二虎之力，还是无法信心十足地将事情做到十全十美的地步。~ Jonathan Ooi

“心”诗

“人生若要真开心，生活要用平常心，对人不要太多心，最好将心来比心，做事学习要专心，最好是要有恒心，遇到难处不担心，应付挑战靠信心，一定能够放下心，待人有礼有爱心，感情爱情要专心，不要变得太花心，处事待人自扪心，是否对得起良心，若是遇到不开心，找个知己谈谈心，心里自然会开心。”　~ Jonathan Ooi

Why worry?

There are two possibilities about something that has not happened: 1.>It will happen; or 2.>It will not happen. Should it happen, start thinking and working on the solutions; should it not happen, do nothing. In either case, there is nothing to worry about. But, why do many people worry about something that has not happened?

专注于正面与积极的事！

天有不测之风云，人有旦夕之祸福；人生不如意事，十之八九；一个人如果一直都把注视力置于负面与消极的事情上，他每天的日子肯定会过得非常悲哀、痛苦、可怜，对这样的人而言，人间简直像阴间，生不如死。人生要过得有意义，我们必须专注于正面与积极的事，为十之一二的如意事开心，为旦夕之福而感恩；这样一来，我们的生命就会有喜乐与满足，活在世上犹如活在天上，好得无比！~ Jonathan Ooi

从水的三个状态联想人的三种学习心态!

一个人的学习心态犹如水的三个状态：（一）一成不变型 - 处于固体的状态：他的学习心态是冰冷、僵硬与定型，对学习没有兴趣，也不想做任何适当的调整；（二) 随机应变型 - 处于液体的状态：他的学习心态是很有求新、求变的特质的，他会随着周遭的环境与需要改变自己，学习更新而变化，但是，他会保持一个明确的方向与目标；（三）随波逐流型 - 处于气体的状态：他的学习心态是无所定向的，心血来潮就很兴奋地学，之后就半途而废，他会随波逐流，别人学什么，他也要学什么，结果上了很多课程，但是却一事无成！

这世代终结的预兆（可13:3-13；路21:7-19）

这世代终结的预兆（可13:3-13；路21:7-19）

《 圣经新译本》马太福音, 第二十四章
3 耶稣坐在橄榄山上，门徒暗中前来问他：“请告诉我们，什么时候会有这些事呢？你的降临和这世代的终结，有什么预兆呢？” 4 耶稣回答他们：“你们要小心，不要被人迷惑； 5 因为许多人要假冒我的名而来，说：‘我就是基督’，并且要迷惑许多的人。 6 你们要听见战争，也听见战争的风声；你们要小心，不要惊慌，因为这是免不了的，不过结局还没有到。 7 一个民族要起来攻打另一个民族，一个国家要起来攻打另一个国家，到处都有饥荒和地震， 8 这一切不过是痛苦的开始。 9 那时人要把你们送去受苦，也要杀害你们，你们要因我的名被万民恨恶。 10 那时许多人会失去信仰，彼此出卖，互相恨恶； 11 也有许多假先知出现，要迷惑许多人。 12 因为不法的事增加，许多人的爱心就冷淡了。 13 唯有坚忍到底的，必然得救。 14 这天国的福音要传遍天下，向万民作见证，然后结局才来到。

Never use resignation as a threat....

An executive thought she was indispensable, wanting to negotiate better terms with her boss, wrote a resignation letter and left it in her drawer. When the boss was about to pass by her desk, she opened the drawer wide to expose that letter. The boss was surprised but kept quiet. She thought the boss didn't notice it and repeated the action another day. This time, the boss said, "Give that letter to me. You may go."

Ispaghula husk is rich in both soluble and insoluble fibre.

A good and healthy diet should contain 25 to 35 grammes of dietary fibre daily. Dietary fibre plays an important role in improving and sustaining a healthy body. Dietary fibre helps to eliminate harmful waste from the body. Dietary fibre is abundant in whole grains, pulses, vegetables and fruits. However, some people consumed only about 10 to 15 grams daily. Dietary fibre is a complex carbohydrate. It is the part of a plant that cannot be digested by human.

Fibre is not an essential nutrient; it contains no calories, no vitamins and no minerals. However it helps to eliminate harmful waste from the body. There are two categories of fibre: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibres are viscous, gel-forming fibres that dissolve in the water, and include pectins, gums and mutilages. Insoluble fibre does not dissolve in water and includes cellulose and lignin, which make up plant cell walls. Both fibres are important for healthy body. Ispaghula husk is rich in both soluble and insoluble fibre.
