Sunshinebutterfly.blogspot is four years old


Time really flies. It has been
four years since I wrote
my first entry.


I was in Sweden back then and
I had plenty of leisure time, so
I started blogging


Initially, my blog was difficult
to read ... no paragraphing ...
so it was one big paragraph ...
with no spacing ...


A lot has happened in this four years ...
& my life has become

more meaningful & richer


the best thing is to be able
to realise what is
important to oneself ...

The President of FIFA commented that
"footballers are modern slaves"


I would like to ask who in his opinion
are exploiting them


Footballers deserve to be paid well
but by taking for granted
the fans who sponsored
their salary, they are
exploiting people love
for the game


The whole game is being messed
up because of self-loving
presidents of football
club & football association. Their
agenda is to forge their
legacy rather than for
the good of the game


My frenz was telling me tt a

soccer subscription costs like $30 for
a month ... our $$$ simply has
gone to paying for the players'
obscene salary


Sometimes, footballers are not
to be blamed ... they are misled
by bloody agents who are
into the game for the
$$$

I have been reading a bit for the past
few weeks & I realise tt
I enjoy mental stimulation.

I don like solving puzzles
but I like being exposed to new idea.


There is this para in "Living the 80/20 Way"
which I find it to be quite inspiring


"There is a true story about a troop of
young Hungarian solders lost in the Alps during
training. In absymal weather, with no
food or supplies, they were cut off
from their colleagues. After
two days of snow and sleet, they were frozen
and weak from hunger. They had
no idea how to
get back to base. They lost
the will to live.


Then a miracle happened. Searching for
a cigarette in the
lining of his tunic, one of
the soldiers suddenly found an
old map. The soldiers confidently
used the map to march

through the mountains back to
safety.


It was only when they were warm and
fed at base camp that they discovered it
was a map of the Pyrenees, some 2,000
kms away.


This story has two valuable lessons:

It is better to act constructively
than to have the right
answer and not act.


Each of us has to find our own answer,

or adapt someone else's answer to our
own circumstances. "


I guess I have been hibernating
for 2 years since I graduated.
Meeting the person who
I love deeply has
a tremendous effect
on me. Suddenly, I am
more determined to be
who I want to be.
