He had a great big wound on his side, the poor thing.’ After three days, James cleaned his wounds and took him to the RSPCA for a course of antibiotics, which cost £28.‘It was pretty much the last money I had, but I didn’t feel it was too much to help something in need. I’ve always loved cats,’ says James.Dependent on methadone and living in a small one-bedroom flat, James’s life had veered badly off course just a few years earlier.

Quote - Good & Bad

Found this quote in Facebook and sound negative but yes, sometimes you have to act this way. I wish I don't have any negative perception towards people but I'm human.  I have my own reasons to be sad & angry, you too.

Will the Sun last for ever ?

Image
sources : univesetoday.com Stars last a long time, but not for ever. Our Sun probably reach its peak brightness about 800 million years ago and should continue to glow with the same intensity for another 1.5 billion years before beginning to fade. Its decline will be a slow process. First, in about 4 billion years, it will grow into a huge red giant star, swallowing the Earth and the inner planets. Then it will collapse into a white dwarf star before cooling and becoming extinct. sources : Amazing Facts, reader's digest book

CopyCat

Have you heard about the word copycatting ?  Copycatting starts from the day we were born. The way we were dressed is depend on what our parents love. Our parents is copying what they seen. We knew how to speak  from listening. We knew how to read and write by copycatting what we learned during our schooling. Whether we like it or not, we live in the world of copycats ! Fashion, food, thought etc is all based on what we see, read and experience.Our mind generates the information before making the decision.  So, to become rich...we must copy what the rich people is doing : ) !  'there are two things needed these days....first, for rich people to find out how poor people live, and second, for poor people to find out how rich people work' ~john foster~ Think...outside the box what's the issue meant...

Why I Go to University

1. My parents told me.. 2. My sister is at university... 3. My cousins is a university graduate or still studying... 4. My teachers told me so.... 5. My friends dream of becoming a university student... 6. My dream too due to many inputs... When you are young, people tell you to study hard, go to university and get a good job! From many point of views, you will have a better future and good income if you are a university graduate. After many years working, I found that the university system teaches me to be a good employee not employer! Many graduates turn to be an employee instead of employer. Why...is it due to the culture where we live ? Are we really want to be an employee ?
