To Accomplish Anything in Life

"If you want to accomplish anything in life, you can't just sit back and hope it will happen.  You have to make it happened.  You are what you think of all day.  Challenge yourself - you may be surprised.  You can do anything you set your mind."

-- Barry Parker

Believe in What You Are Doing

"You really have to believe in what you are doing.  You have to be patient as things don't happen overnight.  You need to be flexible.  It's great to have a vision, but if you make it too precise you will cause trouble for yourself.  You must have a sense of direction, but things will happen, which make you want to flex it as you go along."

-- Richard Newton and Ciprian Adrian Rusen


"Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."

Law of Giving and Receiving

-- Sonia Ricotti


"There are those who forget that death comes to everyone. For those who remember, all quarrels come to an end."

Believe and Push of Progress

"Think progress, believe in progress, push for progress. Think improvement in everything you do. Think high standards in everything you do.

Make this a personal resolution: "At home, at work, in community life, if it's progress I'm for it.""

-- David Joseph Schwartz

-- Tey Bin Yuen
