Charles Schultz's Philosophy

Charles Schultz's Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.

You don't have to actually answer the questions.
Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.


1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.


How did you do?


The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies.
Awards tarnish.
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.


Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.

They are the ones that care.


To every1 who have made a difference in my life.


'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It's already tomorrow in Australia ' (Charles Schultz)

Me~

I tink... sometime... i tink abt others before myself a lil way too much...

frm my work... how i didn't bring up tt i wanna quit... cuz i dun wanna trouble my i/c... cuz of shorthanded... cuz my i/c gng on leave soon...

to frien... how i keep my word... how i do wad i haf promise to do... how i keep my word to support sock @ her performance... how i tried to help hui wah to promote her sch musical...


perhaps... it's tt way... tt's y wad i say didn't really matter much to dem no? wad for askin... if in e end... it's not gng to take into consideration? wad for makin promises n keepin dem... wen in e end... u're e 1 @ e losin end?


wad's e purpose of project work? it's to interact n work wid others... not stickin to e same grp for every project... it's defect e purpose... i really wish for every project dere is... e lecturer gif us e grp... n not let us haf e choice... not let us haf e power to choose... @ least... things will turn out better... i tink...


perhaps... u guys may tink i'm showin attitude 2day... bt seriously... imagine urself in my shoe... havin to cfm in a grp... aft tt haf some1 sms u askin if u wanna change grp... aft sayin no, cuz of e promise made to stay in tt grp for e project... wad happen in e end? havin to receive a sms sayin it's all a misunderstandin... i haf to join another grp?! i offer a solution for u cuz i noe how u dun really wanna work wid some1 frm my clique... n it's cuz wad dey told me... tt i decided to join deir grp n stay in tt grp...

i guess... wad was said didn't really matter isn't it? wad was said didn't meant it isn't it?



rules meant to be bend? promises meant to be broken?


p.s. thanx put... thanx for listenin to all my rantin...

Video: Domino

WHERE MY LAPCOAT~~~

i can't believe my luck... i seriously can't~~


WHERE ON EARTH IS MY CHEMICAL LAPCOAT~



T.T


it's not hangin to dry in e kitchen or balcony... it's not in my wardrobe...


argh~~ where is it????

haix... worse come to worse haf to use my food labcoat liao... >.<>.<

What renew me?

Take this test!
For you, there is no better sanctuary from life's demands than some space for yourself alone. That's not to say you're antisocial. It's just that you like to take time to know yourself, to reflect on all your experiences rather than sweeping them under the rug to deal with another day. For you, long walks, a cozy afternoon on the sofa, or a luxurious soak in the tub might give you all the solitude you need to really look inward, so you can better look outward toward work, family, and friends. More than others, you need to take those moments to slow down, think, and dream.

Personality test

patrick send a personality test link to me... pretty much describe me, i tink... read it tru n tell me if it's really true... aft all... i dun really noe how others c me... n try it out too...

Your Personality Style Description:

A team player, Chew readily relinquishes personal interests and goals to accommodate those close to her. She is loyal to a fault; but others may sometimes question her unwavering dedication to current relationships and methods. Chew values security, and usually does her best to avoid sudden changes in her environment or situation.

Neat and orderly, others usually see Chew as practical. She needs adequate information to make decisions, and she will consider the pros and cons. She may be sensitive to criticism, and will tend to internalize her emotions. Chew likes to clarify expectations before undertaking new projects, and she will follow a logical process to gain successful results.

A warm, outgoing person, Chew enjoys having a high level of interaction with others. She usually finds the "silver lining" in a difficult situation, and typically enjoys the thrill of trying new things. She has a gift for influencing those around her and is viewed as an instinctive communicator. Others find Chew easy to approach and enjoy her easy, open rapport.

Chew would prefer things stay the same, rather than to risk a new venture (unless it is proven and true). She is typically peaceful and low key, and is usually seen by those around her as a good friend and listener. She tends to adopt a "wait and see" attitude about things, rather than taking charge of a situation, usually preferring to let others take the lead.

Yoghurt Place vs Guardian

i haf to make a decision soon... bt i really can't decide :(


make a pro n con list... bt somehow... i still can't decide...


perhaps... i shld drop by tml... request for a transfer... if successful... i'll cont' workin... if it's not... it's gdbye...
