Machiavelli

there is nothing more difficult to take in hand,
more perilous to conduct or more uncertain in its success
than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.

The new ruler must determine all injuries that he will need to inflict.
He must inflict them once and for all.

Almost..

peace before stormz.. from distance, flames seen. Bridges exists to the crossing of indifferent paths set ablazed. Smokes arises at dawn from the thick canopy of the forest, scent of fire pits being put out..
We make war, that we may live in peace.

50-day skirmishes.. shall begin with

10 by 10, 20 days of guerilla strat, foresting gains in preparation of the final 400 days showdown.

quickly follows suit, 30 days, strengthening of foundation..

a test of resolve,

Fools define themselves by what they are.
Wise men define themselves by what they shall be.

Fortune favours the audacious - Desiderius Erasmus

Discovery

Little did i realize just today that Monaco, one of the list of places i wanted to visit most, is a Monarchy itself. In other words, it is a country! 2nd smallest Monarchy in the world, the other being the Vatican City.

Yea i am amazaed by this fact because all these long while, for years... i thought it was a city part of France. Even in football, the A.S Monaco team plays in the French Football Lique.

Some basic knowledge of Monaco i've learnt today;

it has the highest police force per citizen ratio, 500 over police force against 30+k population lol.
it is much smaller than Singapore
France is responsible for its Military defenses, for it is surrounded, bordered by France on all 3 corners except the Mediterranean Sea
nearest way of transport to Monaco is the railway services from Nice, France.
it is the Las Vegas of Europe :) of cos being famous of the Monte Carlo and Grand Prix

A day of tranquility

first time ever... stepped into Woodlands Library lol.

Getting all stares like, why this kinda guy wld come to a library?
haha exaggerated..

but ya i spent the whole, Whole day there! so nice to have a peaceful and absolute silence environment, that keeps u aware at every sqeek u make when shifting position on the couch :)

Spent time thinking, sorting and planning though the things that imma change and do from now on.. worked on some taxing strategies and figures too

I shall head back to the library tmr.. needa work on smaller details, exact ones.


I have to... Burn the bridges behind me.

Wonders of Life

It is miraculous to be living in the world alone, not to even mention how things works and evolve around it, the life it breathes.

Amidst all these, there is something i felt intrigued in, trying to understand how it works still. They are the realm of Physical, Mind, and Soul. Physical realm is kinda straightforward to all, not gonna even touch on this. But throughout the recent years, been trying to figure out and experience the other 2.

Mind; conscious / sub-conscious / thoughts / the power of Control or Manipulation of ones' brain. Little things can be done to instigate it's potential to greater effects, which i love to try out time and time again on different matters, it can be really really... :) *grins*

Just that little activation of less than 0.1 percent of the Sub-consious mind can amplify the ability of one person, changes in his/her habits/thoughts/decisions making/interests and desires. And the constant reminder of Listening to oneself.

Complicated or intimidated it seems but we have seen how certain ppl in the history of mankind uses it with great effects to influence other ppl, and on some cases even the whole world, or even up till today the world we live in.

As for me, i want, only that 2% of my sub-conscious mind :p

Tenascious & Swift as it is to;
Get in, get it Done, get it done Right, get Out!

Ambiguous

A man of my place has two faces,
one for the world
and one which he was in private,

with you i'm only who i am..


Mind and heart,
character and actions;
that you'll be judge on.
Conscience of a better man.


What man is a man who cannot make the world better.
One's world.


Destiny lies deep in the palm of yours,
live it, change it.
Take it!
..for it is yours...



I am... the one
who i am..
