Live passionately!

Many successful people are people who follow their passion, whatever they may be. If you do whatever you're passionate about, there's a certainty that you would excel in that area. How do you expect to be the best doing something you do not have any passion in ?

I really love the part of the show 'Pursuit of Happyness' where Chris tells his son to never let anyone tell him what he cannot do. A lot of great successful people became great because they never listened to negative things told to them. Michael Jordan was told he could never make it big in basketball because he was too short. He used that negative motivation to become the greatest basketball player of all time...

Regret of my life...

I have never had such huge regret as this. I bought Visa 80 call options on the 29th of April when the stock took a plunge after reporting worse than expected(hoped) earnings the previous day after the market close. As the stock went down, the options were going for dirt cheap at 0.65. I bought 3 of them and I still had one which I had bought at 3 the previous night. They were May options and I thought that Visa wasn't going anywhere after it settled down around 74+. So, I sold all of them at 0.90.

How wrong was I!!! As I write this, the options are having a bid ask of 9.50 and 9.70. Imagine how much I would have made instead of the $165 that I lost. Could have made me 638% or $3285. Well, I guess even the best have to learn before they become the best.

Paintings in my mind

Picture this, You and me
Walking down a white sand Beach
We're holding hands
The warm winds blow
we're all alone

All these dreams are fantasies
They're not real, not reality

Chorus:
and now I cry over you, nearly die over you
And all these bits and pieces of us that I try to find,
Are only paintings in my mind
faded memories of another place and time
we were happy as can be you were loving me and
now it's just an image that I find like the paintings in my mind

When you left I fell apart,
I was torn, you broke my heart
(Chorus)

Impressions of the way it was long ago
somewhere back in time.
(Chorus)

I am putting this down to close an episode of my life...

I met this girl(or would I say I saw her at KLCC when I used to work there). Somehow, I'm the type of person who believes in love at first sight(yeah, you might say its really stupid to love someone you don't even know but I guess no one is 100% rational all the time).

Ok, one thing led to another and I decided that I had to get to know her...... As I now want to forget everything that ever happened, I really can't think back of all the details how it all happened.

To me, these paintings in my mind weren't even real but what this artist in me painted because I so wanted to believe they were real. The were all only paintings in my mind...Really hurts, but I always allow myself to feel pain when it comes to love...in this matter, I certainly do not have a millionaire mind.
