"Early Morning Inspiration..."

It's rainy season in our place. Here I am, spending an early morning in front of a computer. I just finished my task of reading and making a journal. The rain continues to make a drumming sound in the roof top, the cool breeze soothes; call of crickets and croak of frogs creates a symphony of music. Sometimes, by just waking up early - one can discover a wealth of inspiration...a wondrous motivation to start up your day! More than the hot brewed of coffee, whose aroma permeates my study.

There are some things that I recall from my readings (John W. Gardner) that inspired me, allow me to share to you some of these:

Live: Be aware. Experience. Grow...

When you learn to appreciate the beauty, complexities and wonders of the life process, You will understand the breadth and depth of our world - yet most people waste life.

Love: Greet this day, with love...

Your capacity to break through the barriers that cut one off from others and beyond the claims of self - to give and receive, to commit one self, not childishly but in mature escape from the prison of self -absorption.

Learn: Learn who you are, Learn to be at peace with yourself and learn the effects you have with others.

Open your mind to new experience... Learn. It's fun. It hurts. It changes. And it keeps us alive! To learn not merely about facts, but about truth and state of our own soul.

Think: Man, in his brief history, has transformed the world and himself. His specific quality is purposeful change through thought. He is Homo Sapiens. Man: The Thinker.

Give: The greatest use of a life is to spend it, for something that will outlast it. Life will be more meaningful and full of joy when we learn to simplify...

Laugh: He who laughs...last. Its a very cheap medicine and we all need a good dose of it daily. More often, life's stress can be cured by having a good belly laugh - something that seems to be missing in our work places today.

As I have experienced it - our energy level is also affecting our attitude and outlook. Yet, its a choice on our part, whether we live this day a grouch or a winner...Here, take a dose of an early morning inspiration...Read the Bible.

Showing 0ff the train system in the world

One thing that I would like to share to you is some of the most fantastic thing that has been captured in the camera: "The Showcase of the Train System in the World."
The best, the most modern, the unbelievable, the mind-bugling, mind blowing, and the simply amazing trains...

CHINA 's CRH2 TAIWAN 's THSR KOREA 's KTX JAPAN 's SHINKANZEN JAPAIN 's AVE UK 's EUROSTAR FRANCE 'TGV' DUBAI 's METRO And now the Best! INDIAN 's ALL ABOARD ( F F A ) -- FREE FOR ALL and . . . . . . . . . Pakistan!!!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . Sorry Train is Late.... . . . . . . . . . . . . O, Finally it made it in....... Calling it ( AYOR ) At your own risk

Simply...amazing trains and train rides! This has been forwarded to me by one of my friend who loves stories that excites the mind! Someday - I'm wishing I can ride on one of this train too....just in case - will you join me in such an adventure? A one way ticket or return? lol!

My Seven Wonders

I am passionate about history, cultures and achievements of man. Taking into accounts who and what we are - the tasks of accomplishing something is next to impossible. Yet, around us we see what mankind can do when they put their minds together. Allow me to share


The seven wonders list celebrates moumental engineering and construction feats of the 20th century. Let me share to you:

1. Empire State building: finished in 1931, and towers 1,250 feet over New York City - the tallest building in the world for 41 years.

2. Itaipu Dam: built by Brazil and Paraguay on the Parana River, the world's largest hydroelectric power plant, completed in 1991. It tok 16 years to finish whose lenghts totals 25,406 feet.

3. CN Tower: In 1976, it became the first world's tallest freestanding structure. It soars about one-third of a mile (1,815 feet) above Toronto, canada.

4. Panama Canal: it took 34 years to create this 50-mile-long canal across the isthmus of Panama. Its huge locks connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.


5. Channel Tunnel: known as Chunnel, it links france and England. It is 31 miles long and 23 0f those miles are 150 feet below the seabed of the English Channel. High speed trains whiz through its side-by-side tubes.

6. North Sea Protection: The Netherlands is below sea level, so a series of dams, floodgates and surge barriers have been built to kep the sea from flooding the country during storms. The biggest part of the project, which some compare in scale to the Great wall of China, was a 2-mile-long surge barrier across an estuary.


7. Golden Gate bridge: For many years, this suspension bridge that connects San Francisco and Marin County was the longest in the world. Begun in 1933, it took about four years - and 80,000 miles of steel wire-to complete the graceful 1.2 mile long bridge.

Well, here's mankind's engineering feats -what do you think? great isn't it?

Yet, as I think about all these greatest world's infrastractures - i was reminded of the ancient tower built by mankind - the Tower of Babel, showing man's monumental effort to make a name for himself- least the whole world forget its passing.

Think about this: "People are like grass that dies away; their beauty fades quickly as the beauty of wildflowers. the grass withers and the flowers fall away. But the Word of the Lord will last forever."

Anyway, I'm not throught yet, I'll be sharing to you my own seven wonders, and you can tell me what do you think about it....Ciao!
