I received this from my colleague, Daniel, which I believe has been forwarded to a number of people. I don’t usually bother those forwarded mail but this story is something worth a read.
‘The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.’
A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said: ‘If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the simple and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases, it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups… Then you began eyeing each other’s cups.’
Now consider this, said the professor, ‘Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us. Enjoy your coffee!’
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Four things to take note of in life…
1. Live simply.
2. Love generously.
3. Care deeply.
4. Speak kindly.
Shine a light & enjoy your Coffee today!!

My intention was to write a post on different behaviour of the peoples around but felt that the update was more important as it will fix my problematic image posting feature. Besides, I need it quite badly as I have quite a number of pics to post and in due to this restriction, I created an online free (TM) album @ http://eklim.photoshop.com. Feel free to take a look. It mainly contains all the pics of vessels belongs to my current employer. Those pics are not taken by me but my other colleague from sister company.
While i’m writing this post, I’m actually downloading/preparing for the upgrade. There’s a farewell dinner to attend tomorrow and early wake up, I am planning to head the sack early.
Update: I can see the control icons now but there’s still some scripting error which is “object doesn’t support this property or method”. Not really sure which part causing the error as I am not a PHP or Javascript expert. Will try to sort it out later probably through your friendly engine, google (TM).
Update #2: I have replaced the post.php by manually removing the file and uploading it which resolves the missing object error. It looks good as of now and hats off to Wordpress and teams for such a great job!

People come and go easily. This has been a quote said by people around. This time round, it is the second time. I never thought the feeling would be as such. It is not something which to my expectation. Mixed feeling.
Environment as in human context is really important. The most critical ones would be the management. When there is something wrong with the management, there goes the soldiers. Even if one soldier with the best weapon would not survive long. To determine an environment which best meet this condition is somehow near to impossible as without venturing into it, only god knows how it would be like from inside.
Now with another soldier gone, I strongly believe the crisis will repeat itself and it is just so weird that this will be repeating and the management does not even realise. It is very obvious enough to the eye but I guess, everyone has their own difficulties. Only if, and if, everyone is allowed to speech. But that does not seems to be possible as it will never work that way. I guess I will never know why, and also how, not forgetting what, contributes to all this. One thing for sure, he is not me and vice-versa.
Hope this time round, it will pass through quickly and everything goes well. Best wishes to myself.
