For all man are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall -1Peter 1:24

Body's Breathing While It Can

My Doctor told me it's due to accumulated fatigue. All the work , training and lack of rest kept my immunities low. Which was why I fall sick so often. I also received some sleeping pills for my insomnia, I'll take her advise and give myself a long break.

- Cut down on exercise
- force myself to sleep early
- just sit back an relax, (during holidays etc.)
- Avoid outdoor activities (due to fickle weather conditions)

Cough syrup is making me drowsy...


I must be going insane,
went to the doctor so that he could relieve my pain,
he's got a little pill for me, just a little luxury,
to help me through my day.

Towards Financial Liberation

A series of events woke me up to the error of my ways.

Consequences of past relationships which I allowed to stagnate; bridges I didn't built; friends I neglect because of my arrogance.

Some of the opportunities lost were great and others minor. Ironically, some doors would not have opened if I had not made the right mistakes.

I also learnt about the concept of financial freedom and how interesting the journey to get there. It made the micro concerns of the rat race seem so insignificant.

Injustice is bound to occur, but the greater potentials has desensitized me to such trivia pricks. If I plan my cards right, I would have the freedom to just walk away.

Discworld - Guards! Guards!

Snippet
They may be called the Palace Guard, the City Guard, or the Patrol. Whatever the name, their purpose in any work of heroic fantasy is identical: it is, round Chapter Three (or ten minutes into the film) to rush into the room, attack the hero one at a time, and be slaughtered. No-one ever asks them if they wanted to. This book is dedicated to those fine men.
