Well Done Lee Hsien Loong!! Another SG First!

[Fook Seng]

What surprises is not we are at or close to the bottom. In the past, even when we are near the bottom, we are together with a group of "developed" nations, sharing a common characteristic with this group. What surprises is we have broken free from this group with our own trait to lead towards the bottom. This is perhaps due to the extreme way we do things without regard for balances. Right at the moment, everyone of us is regarded as just a digit, a financial statistic.

How you are regarded is entirely up to you. Nobody can force your perception of yourself upon you.

LHL: How can Singaporeans be unhappy? Look at the people around me, they're so happy to see me play mahjong.

LHL: See how happy these por lampurs are? They are so happy to carry my balls. So where got unpappy por lampurs? Maybe the others yes, but not these por lampurs!

 

[Picardo]

Perfectly spoken.

Even in nature itself, there is good balance to be seen all over, ensuring the overall harmony.

Man has right and left brain hemispheres, which can be clearly seen even by the most unthinking person.

when you are unhappy, everywhere you go, you see unhappy people
if you are happy yourself, everywhere you go, you see happy people
you, yourself, create the environment you want to see
for me, everyday is a happy day
everywhere i go i see happy people
even beggars and cleaners, all very happy

 

[streetsmart73]

hi there


1. the hard truth sucks!
2. you are the so-called asset today.
3. come tmrw, same sheep turns into a total liability!
4. that's the level of happiness for most sheep, locked up in some pigeon-hole up in the sky.

 

[Picardo]

With that view, of course the many people who took their own lives by committing suicide in wretched desperation at the train tracks, high-rise flats, reservoirs, homes, etc are undoubtedly happy too. So are their families and loved ones.

I've got to get me one of those red polo t-shirts with a white collar and white strips running down the armpit area.

Who knows, maybe I can wear one of those and randomly gatecrash one of those 'grassroots events'...and I'll be swarmed by happy people earnestly wanting to make me happy.

 

[laksaboy]

Expecting a 'debunk and refute article' anytime now... one that automatically gets churned out whenever Singapore ranks unfavorably in some global survey. "Singaporeans are actually quite happy... yada yada blahbity blah..."

For the most recent example, refer to the piece contributed by Indranee Rajah on the 'emotionless' label.

hi there


1. laksa, donning the ugly outfit does not qualify you anything.
2. you need to be some dafter sheep & obey to all instructions from the grand masters.
3. then, you shall be very very happy hoh

i think it's difficult to know the minds of other people. in fact we really don't know what they're thinking. the doctor who took his life in melbourne was " at peace" with himself when he took the plunge from the bridge...but his parents are anguished with endless suffering and grief...

life is complicated...we cannot generalise and there are many things we do not really understand.....the mind is the prime mover of all things....happy, sad, grief and bliss...many things are mind-motivated...

if you want to make yourself happy, you can. if you want to make yourself unhappy and miserable, also can...i think it all depends on your own self...your own mental outlook...your own philosophy and your own appraisal of the world around you...

yes, sometimes i can be very happy...sometimes, unhappy and miserable...but i would say i have more happy times than unhappy times...it's a matter of my own mental deliberation and outlook....cheers and merry christmas

[kopiuncle]

sometimes you feel happy to be with a VVIP...not necesary to be porlumpars....how often do you have a chance to play mahjong with a PM ? let alone sit besides him...cheers and merry christmas

 

[kopiuncle]

Though the world did not end today , many dynasties and empires had crumbled in the past.
Tang , Qing , Roman , Turkish , Ayutthaya all suffered the same fate.
LEEgime will not be spared either

[Picardo]

Of course. Your thinking causes anyone to be happy.

But even a beggar or simple moron can have ecstactic feelings of happiness and joy if he chooses to.

On the other hand, one may have been taking the highest salary in the whole wide world, an yet be unhappy about it unless it is many times more than that, Or even higher than all the world government leaders combined.
