Our mind is very powerful... that's why there's a saying, whatever the mind can conceive, you can achieve it... be it positive of negative part... I'm sharing below interesting story of how the mind can control our decisions in our daily life for all of you to ponder...
This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling Hotdogs by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs. He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more. He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove.
As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.
Then something strange happened.
The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."
The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic.
He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit.
The father said to his son, "Son, you were right". "We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."
Moral of The Story: It's all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think.

Farmville?
Only managed 2 postings in my blog so far this month.... Been busy 'layaning' my FB games lately... my wife and kids introduced me to Farmville, Cafe World & Tiki Resort... initially just to make up their number of neighbours plus out of curiosity why my three lady managers (or known as "Zally's angels" in office) spending so much time on those games. I ended up spending my free time 'layaning' those games too... hahahaha... Actually, being the Choleric part me of 'tak mengaku kalah', my mission is just to prep up the resort, farm and cafe to the 'acceptable' level, then will log it off lah... juz like car race, car iq, poker etc...
Anyway, those games really have the 'addictive' part lah... the feeling of wanting more, makes you staying on... And the best part is, when i comes to know that my big boss (Tungku Panglima) and his Datuks & Tan Sri's friends also do play Cafe World really amazed me... these guys are really high flying & big corporate names i.e. CEO's of Public Listed companies... which i do not wish to reveal their names here... damn... got so much time meh? and of all the games, Cafe World? hahaha...
Anyway, time will tell how long i will stay in this game... my bet will be 1 - 2 months more the most...

The Colors of Friends...
We always think that we want only one color of friend i.e. the colors that we love most... actually, you need various colors of friends to make it more beautiful & interesting in your life...
Friends come in many colors,
The "Brown Color Friend"
Might help us to step down of false illusions and come down to earth, to the reality of daily simple true living.
"Green Color Friend"
One who sees the positive and puts hopes in everything.
The "Orange Color Friend"
Enhance our spirit with new energy with loving vitamins to help us grow.
"Yellow Color Friend"
Color of the sun... friend who makes us laugh and shows us a star when we are sad.
"Blue Color Friend"
Color of the sea and the sky... Friend who brings peace and serenity.
The "Grey Color Friend"
One who teaches us silence...to reflect and interiorize helping to know ourselves and others better.
"Red Color Friend"
One who reminds us of the rules in life, but encourages us to change with warm loving words.
So... if we gather all our friends in a big gathering, we will discover a Rainbow of Love
So be grateful with any friends even when they are not in the same favorite color as yours... Thanks to Lyn for sharing this to me...

Psychiatric Dessert Test
Just to share something interesting... I tried and it match me perfectly... wow...
No cheating.
If all of the eight desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which would you choose (sorry, you can only pick one!) Trust me... this is very accurate.
Pick your dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about you.
REMEMBER - No Cheating. Make your choice before you check the meaning.
After taking this dessert personality test, share this with others, but when you do, be sure to put your choice of dessert in the subject box above.
Here are your choices:
1. Angel Food Cake
2. Brownies
3. Lemon Meringue Pie
4. Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Icing
5. Strawberry Short Cake
6. Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Icing
7. Ice Cream
8. Carrot Cake
No, you can't change your mind once you scroll down, so think carefully about what your choice will be.
OK - Now that you've made your choice, this is what the researchers say about you.. SCROLL DOWN---No Cheating
1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE -- Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.
2. BROWNIES -- You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.
3. LEMON MERINGUE -- Smooth, sexy, & articulate with your hands, you are an excellent caregiver and a good teacher. But don't try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, you set your own style because you do your own thing. You shine when it comes to helping others and have many friends.
4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Fun-loving, sassy, humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lacking motivation. Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you mad. However, you are a friend for life.
5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic, warm, loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen. You can be very emotional at times but a true person in every way. You like to do things for yourself and help others learn about themselves.
6. CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Sexy; always ready to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.
7. ICE CREAM -- You like sports, whether it be baseball, football,basketball , or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don't like to give up the remote control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.
8. CARROT CAKE -- You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends. You were meant to lead and teach others. A wonderful role model.
