I don't want to live in a grey world anymore..................

Changing

Lying in bed wallowing through my mind and unable to sleep, I had a real epiphany;
Maybe it isn't me who has changed, perhaps time has changed me. Changed the way I see the world. I have struggled for so long in a chasm between doing the right thing and doing what I want. I've held on to the past with everything I have.
When the pain in my heart would begin to ease away, I would dredge it to the surface again with old memories, because it was recognisable. Moving on and starting over seemed so dangerous, so inexplicable, and that caused the sadness to reach so deeply. I have explored every corner of my mind, imagined every realistic and every insane outcome of my future. But I never imagined walking forward and leaving this behind, the past was always the deciding factor of my future.
And in some respects, it always will be. I will always be cautious and guarded, perhaps quieter and more thoughtful. I will not repeat the actions I've taken, the mistakes I've made, and I won't ever forget the feelings I had or the things that have happened. But I will stop throwing up walls to protect myself. And although the existing ones cannot come down, they will cease to cause so much discord. Perhaps my answers to simple questions will no longer be bitter and jaded, perhaps my automatic suspicion of everyone and everything will subside.Perhaps not every part of me wants to release its grip, but I know that as a whole I am finally ready. Time has begun to heal the wounds it has made, time has prepared me, made me stronger, and allowed me to just let go.

Vacation in Sabah



I just came back from a vacation in Sabah... Such a nice trip .....Let me share something with you.

Look, this is the photo I took from my hotel when I arrived, does it impress you?





This is the evening shot taken after scrolling in their Weekend Market.






On the second day, went to an island surrounded by the serene waters of South China Sea, Dinawan Island is reachable via speedboat from the Marina Sutera jetty in approximately 25 minutes.
This premier island resort is built on a lustrous tropical rainforest in the midst of clear, blue sea with warm and gentle blowing sea breeze. It is built with minimum disturbance to the natural surroundings - an excellent place to engulf oneself in tranquil island atmosphere.

Best Friend




Looking back through the years,
I can't believe how long
We have been best friends,
Through good times and bad.


When I needed someone to cry,
With me and laugh together
Give me a shoulder to lean on,
And a hug to make me feel better.
You know how true it is,
When you know that no matter what
Happens or goes on down the road,
That there will always be best friends.

So as time passes and days go by,
Just remember that when you need me
That no matter what time or place,
I will always be there by your side, my best friend.

True from my mind

I've been in search of many things. I just discover that I have many thoughts that I should write down, to remember them. I'm always living in an emotional rollercoaster and sometimes I get dizzy and sick of it. It feels like being alive with all of your senses, all of them focused in one thing: EMOTIONS
Life has thought me how to enjoy de "high" moments, and the "down" ones too. But how to stay in the middle? or should I say; How to enjoy to be completely normal?

If I'm happy, I'm working, i feel creative, i feel alive, I'm OK but then at a sudden... everything that made me smile, happy or alive... comes down. Do I have a reason? Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But it doesn't matter as when i feel that darkness coming out of nowhere I start to enjoy that kind of feeling too, its a kind of a melancholic anxiety, and it makes all wrong. I get tired of my work, I feel out of hope and most of all I feel blue. My expectations seem so far away from me sometimes. I'm so confused sometimes... most of them. If I have you... I'm OK but then my mind starts talking to me saying things that honestly ... they all make sense, but instead of hearing and paying attention to that voice, I don't know why but I end doing exactly the opposite. And then, a freaking brainstorm attacks me cause I didn't act the way my brain told me too, why?

Well I guess I'm not very sure of what I want, or maybe I've been confused all the time and I didn't know it. How can I explain to my brain that is not that I'm crazy or immature. Is just that brains has nothing to do with feelings. Since my acts are according to my heart and sensibility, anyways...How can I pay attention to my brain if its all damaged?I like to be true to myself, does it make me happier? Well I guess not, but it made everything more intense, it made everything on me more authentic.... its like been you with no mask, no intention to have one.

I've been so true to myself, that I'm still with you. Even if my head says no. And not because I'm falling in love with you, it's because these are my beliefs, I believe in relationships... I believe in the need of certain persons in certain moments, I believe in sharing special moments with persons, I believe in making memories, I believe in making them and the thing is... you just see the same ol' same ol' you are used to... instead of really looking at me. I don't know if being apart from moralities and customs is something positive to me. Many people say they want to be independent.... free... I want exactly the opposite. I need limits.I know and I'm completely conscient that I've chosen and "openminded" way of living, I don't know if this is the best choice, sometimes I doubt, sometimes I panic... and all those times I think of you too.

Clean and Tidy



The most important places to keep clean and tidy are my mind and heart. If I allow thoughts to flourish that I wouldn't want to see the light of day, I can never have any real self-respect. By starting each day in quiet reflection and pouring positive, loving thoughts into my mind, I gradually clean out cynicism and unkindness.

Sickening Society

Sick Sick Sick this is what I hate the most.
Why do people fall sick? Most people assume that germs and genes cause disease. The germ theory has brought us a long way, and genetic theory promises to take us even further. But there is still a mystery surrounding why certain people get sick while others don't. For example, studies show that if cold virus is placed directly into a person's nose, the chance of getting a cold is about 1 in 8; being exposed to chill, damp, or a draft doesn't increase these odds.
Every day each of us inhales or ingests enough germs to cause a variety of diseases we never contract. Some sort of "control by the host" seems to be at work. This refers to the body's ability to live with disease-causing agents without getting sick. Germs aren't the only factor. Statistics show that severely ill people often wait until a significant date has passed, such as Christmas or their birthday, before suddenly dying. Studies going back to the Korean War showed that young soldiers in their early twenties had serious blockage of their coronary arteries, yet the disease doesn't show up until middle age.
Not everyone exposed to HIV contracts the virus, and in a few rare instances, those with AIDS have reversed their viral status form positive t negative. Why, then, would you or I get sick when someone else equally at risk doesn't?
The best way to get sick is to suffer from as many of the following conditions as possible:
--Unsanitary conditions: massive exposure to germs remains a major factor
--Being poor: poverty degrades life on all fronts, including health.
--High stress: physical and psychological stress damage the immune system.
--Depression and anxiety: untreated psychological disorders weaken resistance to a wide range of diseases, perhaps even cancer
--Lack of coping mechanisms: stress by itself is a negative factor, but the inability to bounce back form it is more important.
--Lack of control, victimization: all stresses become much worse if you feel that you have no control over your own life.
--Inertia, sedentary lifestyle: if you are inactive and have no outside interests, you chance of getting sick rises sharply
--Feeling alone and unloved: emotional deprivation is as unhealthy as deprivation of good food.
--Sudden loss: the sudden loss of a job or spouse, a reversal in finances, or finding yourself in the midst of a war or natural disaster all constitute a state of loss and lead to higher risk of getting sick.
--Growing old: once considered a major cause of illness, aging is now known not to be a direct cause.
Being healthy into your eighties should be your expectation, but if you neglect yourself in old age, the body becomes vastly more susceptible to disease.None of these factors comes as a huge surprise, since public health officials have drummed into us that most illness in modern society is a "lifestyle disease" born of stress, lack of exercise, and other factors external to germs. But I think most people still assume that being fat, for example, is worse for you than stress, which certainly isn't the case. Outside of diabetes and joint problems, it's hard to find a serious link between moderate overweight and any disorder, while stress and its offshoots are major risks.
They exaggerate the effect of aging. Yet in the absence of high blood pressure and artery disease, most people will live a very long time, probably in good health until they contract their final illness. (I've covered a dozen other common beliefs, both true and false, in earlier posts recently).
But the mystery of who specifically gets sick remains unsolved, in part because there are subtle factors that few experts have adequately examined.
--Some people get sick because they expect to.
--Some people get sick, or sicker, after they are diagnosed with a disease.
--Disease brings certain benefits, known as "secondary gain," that make it positive. The classic example is a child who pretends to be sick in order to get more love and attention, but adults find secondary gains of their own, such as not having to take responsibility for their lives or finding an escape from a situation they can't cope with.--Some people get sick because they want to give up, or even die.
--Some people have nothing better to do than to get sick.

Finding and keeping a life partner



When it comes to making the decision about choosing a life partner, none wants to make a mistake. Yet, with a divorce rate of close to 50%, it appears that many are making serious mistakes in their approach tofinding Mr./Miss. Right!


If you ask most couples who are engaged why they're getting married, they'll say: 'We're in love'; I believe this is the mistake people make when they date. Choosing a life partner should never be based on-love. Though this may sound 'not politically correct', there's aprofound truth here. Love is not the basis for getting married. Rather, love is the result of a good marriage. When the other ingredients are right, then the love will come. Let me say it again: 'You can't build a lifetime relationship on love alone'; You need a lot more!!! Here are five questions you must ask yourself if you're serious aboutfinding and keeping a life partner.


QUESTION ..1:

Do we share a common life purpose? Why is this so important? Let me put it this way: If you're married for 20 or 30 years, that's a long time to live with someone. What do you plan to do with each other all that time? Travel, eat and jog together? You need to share something deeper and more meaningful. You need a common life purpose. Two things can happen in a marriage:

(1) You can grow together, or

(2) you can grow apart. 50% of the people out there are growing apart.To make a marriage work, you need to know what you want out of life! Bottom line; marry someone who wants the same thing.

QUESTION ..2:

Do I feel safe expressing my feelings and thoughts with this person? This question goes to the core of the quality of your relationship. Feeling safe means you can communicate openly with this person. The basis of having good communication is trust i.e. trust that I won't get 'punished'; or hurt for expressing my honest thoughts and feelings. A colleague of mine defines an abusive person as someone with whom you feel afraid to express your thoughts and feelings. Be honest with yourself on this one. Make sure you feel emotionally safe with the person you plan to marry.

QUESTION ..3:

Is he/she a mensch? A mensch is someone who is a refined and sensitive person. How can you
test? Here are some suggestions. Do they work on personal growth on aregular basis? Are they serious about improving themselves? A teacher of mine defines a good person as 'someone who is always striving to be good and do the right ';. So ask about your significant other: What do they do with their time? Is this person materialistic? Usually amaterialistic person is not someone whose top priority is characterrefinement. There are essentially two types of people in the world:

(1) People who are dedicated to personal growth and

(2) people who are dedicated to seeking comfort. Someone whose goal in life is to be comfortable willput personal comfort ahead of doing the right thing. You need to knowthat before walking down the aisle.

QUESTION ..4:

How does he/she treat other people? The one most important thing that makes any relationship work is the ability to give. By giving, we mean the ability to give another person pleasure. Ask: Is this someone who enjoys giving pleasure to others or are they wrapped up in themselves and self absorbed? To measure this, think about the following: How do they treat people whom they do not have to be nice to, such as waiters, taxidrivers, cleaners, etc.. How do they treat their parents and siblings? Do they have gratitude and appreciation? If they don't have gratitude for the people who have given them everything; can you do nearly as much for them? You can be sure that someone, who treats others poorly, will eventually treat you poorly as well.

QUESTION ..5:

Is there anything I'm hoping to change about this person after we're married? Too many people make the mistake of marrying someone with the intention of trying to 'improve'; them after they're married. As a colleague of mine puts it: 'You can probably expect someone to change after marriage for the worse' If you cannot fully accept this person the way they are now, then you are not ready to marry them. In conclusion, dating doesn't have to be difficult and treacherous.The key is to try leading a little more with your head and less with your heart. It pays to be as objective as possible when you are dating; to be sure to ask questions that will help you get to the key issues.

Falling in love is a great feeling, but when you wake up with a ring on your finger, you don't want to find yourself trouble because you didn'tdo your homework. Another perspective. ..There are some people in your life that need to be loved from adistance.. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or atleast minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not going anywhere relationships. Observe the relationships around you.Pay attention... Which ones lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?

Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones dont appreciate you? Which ones make you feel good, praises you, boosts you with loving andcaring words or annotations. The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love andtruth around you...the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of yourlife. An African proverb states, 'Before you get married, keep both eyes open,and after you marry, close one eye'; Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really that important. Do you bring out the best in each other? Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete,compare and control? What do you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain? You can't take someone to the altar to alter them. You can't makesomeone love you or make someone stay.If you develop self steem, spiritual discernment, and 'a life'; you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.

Seeking status, sex, and security are thewrong reasons to be in a relationship. WHAT KEEPS A RELATIONSHIP STRONG IS:

1. TRUST

2. COMMUNICATION

3. INTIMACY

4. A SENSE OF HUMOR

5. SHARING TASKS

6. DAILY EXCHANGES (meal, shared activity, hug, call, touch, notes,etc.)

7. SHARING COMMON GOALS AND INTERESTS

8. GIVING EACH OTHER SPACE TO GROW WITHOUT FEELING INSECURE

9.GIVING EACH OTHER A SENSE OF BELONGING AND ASSURANCES OF COMMITMENT

10. CONCERN AND CARE FOR YOUR LOVER IN YOUR OWN WAYS.

If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode asresentment withdrawal, abuse, neglect, and dishonesty; and pain will replace.

Only Child...



Popular thinking often paints an unflattering picture of only children, portraying them as self-centered, attention-seeking, dependent, and temperamental. Despite these negative stereotypes, smaller families in general--and the one-child option--are growing in popularity.

Changing family patterns, economic concerns, and new roles for women may contribute to parents' choosing the one-child option:

* Divorce rates (higher than ever before) and the tendency for couples to marry later in life may contribute to shorter marriages and potentially fewer children

* Inflation and high unemployment, contributing to reduced family income, may encourage parents to have smaller families

* The majority of women are now employed before they have children. The benefits of this added income and involvement in careers may lead women to postpone childbearing and bear fewer children

Are There Any Advantages To Being An Only Child?
Most current data appear to indicate that only children have a slight edge over children with siblings on measures of intelligence and achievement--and that they suffer no serious interpersonal deficits. In fact, only children may have some advantages as a result of their special status: more attention from parents, freedom from sibling rivalry and comparison, and access to more family resources, to name a few.

Are There Any Disadvantages To Being An Only Child?
As an only child to the family the pressure that is with you is heavy. No doubt you may not need to compare yourself to your siblings, but what
about others like your cousins? Don’t forget that you are the only hope to your parents. Moreover, you have nobody to stand besides you to give suggestion, to support you, to back you up....

Think twice, parents...

Depression

Depression leads people to focus mostly on failures and disappointments, to emphasize the negative side of their situations, and to downplay their own capabilities or worth. Someone with severe depression is unable to see the possibility of a good outcome and may believe they will never be happy or things will never go right for them again.

Depression affects a person's thoughts in such a way that the person doesn't see when a problem can be overcome. It's as if the depression puts a filter on the person's thinking that distorts things. That's why depressed people don't realize that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem in the same way that other people do. A teen with depression may feel like there's no other way out of problems, no other escape from emotional pain, or no other way to communicate their desperate unhappiness.


Sometimes people who feel suicidal may not even realize they are depressed. They are unaware that it is the depression — not the situation — that's influencing them to see things in a "there's no way out," "it will never get better," "there's nothing I can do" kind of way.


When depression lifts because a person gets the proper therapy or treatment, the distorted thinking is cleared. The person can find pleasure, energy, and hope again. But while someone is seriously depressed, suicidal thinking is a real concern.


People with a condition called bipolar disorder are also more at risk for suicide because their condition can cause them to go through times when they are extremely depressed as well as times when they have abnormally high or frantic energy (called mania or manic). Both of these extreme phases of bipolar disorder affect and distort a person's mood, outlook, and judgment. For people with this condition, it can be a challenge to keep problems in perspective and act with good judgment.


Depression is powerful. You can't wait and hope that your mood might improve. When a person has been feeling down for a long time, it's hard to step back and be objective. Talk to someone you trust as soon as you can. If you can't talk to a parent, talk to your trusted and best friend, a relative, a school counselor or a teacher.


The moment it clicks

No matter how many mega pixels you’ve got inside that fancy machine in your hand, they aren’t worth beans if you don’t hold them steady.
You can miss lots of moments with your head struck in your LCD. Checking what just went on is a surefire ticket to missing what’s about to go on. The sum is definitely greater than the parts and if you are checking the LCD you are not putting together the parts.
Be disciplined. Keep your eyes in the camera and your head in the game. Plenty of time later to moan, cheer, laugh, or cry. As a photographer, it’s better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. Sometimes you receive inspiration and direction, divine or editorial. Most of the time, baby, you’re on your own. If you want something to be interesting, don’t light all of it.
When shooting a story about someone, their hands should be always on your list to shoot. If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff. You always know when you’ve got THE frame. You may know it by a skip of your heart, a short gasp, a split-second of vertigo in your brain or a feeling like you’ve just gotten a quick punch to the gut. It doesn’t matter if its only five minutes, as long as it’s the RIGHT five minutes. Don’t pack up your camera until you’ve left the location. hoot it now. Don’t ever assume you can do a picture later. You need to keep your head on straight and remain confident behind the lens in a deal like this when everybody thinks you should shoot it their way.
Keep pushing. No is always the easiest answer. Sometimes it’s all working for you and you still miss. Other times it all sucks and you get a terrific frame. You just never know. The one surefire way to get nothing is not bother looking.
The only way to keep your heart beating as a photographer is to shoot what you love.

Unfortunate One

We all know the reaction we have when we come across a homeless person on the street corner. And most of us can admit the thoughts we've had as they hold out their cap asking for money.


We all have doubts as to what the money we give them will be used for. And the amount of money we USUALLY give them is a very small amount at best.


THIS challenge is to look beyond our preconceived ideas. If it's putting change (a little more than usual) in that cap without thinking of what the money may be spent on (you might actually be surprised sometimes!)...or helping out at a shelter, or looking in your area for ways to give of money or energy to help those less fortunate.


It's SO easy to judge. Not as easy to spend time trying to help solve the problem...

Appreciate

All of us know someone who is a parent...

and we all know that being a parent can be a rewarding yet overwhelming job. Your task is to write a note to a Mom or a Dad (or both) and encourage them in their parenting...tell them something you see in the way they parent that stands out, and is special - tell them something extra special you see in their children because of their parenting.

Trust me, your words will encourage them over & over as they think about how you took the time to bless them.

Is he back to me again?

I thought I could take this for a while..I don't want to reach this point and I'm never asked to feel this way. There's so much to say but I don’t know how and what to start with.

It's sad just thinking of him, knowing he is different everyday. I can't get to know him because he is never be the same..always on a different thinking / decision..and this man is unpredictable. I wish I never get into this game..a game which I am a loser..but why me? Why did I have to be this stupid..this oblivious of the situation..and where his words would take me? I tasted the hurts and pain, its really difficult for me to through that path, at least I made it, why it comes back to me again ???? I don't know how far can I compress myself....

Through the experiences of mine so called "drama"..I learned so much..yet, I'm too stubborn to stick by what's right. People say I dwell on my problems..especially when it's got to do with B O Y S..and I guess, to a certain extent..yeah, I do.

There is no end to this..and I can't hide everything I feel..and I definitely can't keep lying to myself. I just want him to be REAL for once.

Give The Gift Of Your Smile!! :)


Easier said than done some days.But I've SEEN the difference one smile can make.You can change someone’s day just by smiling at them.


Walking down the street...driving...ordering food. Just SMILE!I bet that the smile you get in return will make YOUR day too!! :)

Marriage....

I sat down with my schoolmate on one weekend updating each other as how our life is going on for these few years. Both of us are regret of having children but we are regret to have a relationship in marriage.



Those days, the old folks said "Man always wants children but not the wife". Well, I would interpret as " Woman would always wants children but not MEN". This trend change simply becaause woman are no longer depand on man to feed them nowadays.



The racial of divorce cases increase day by day. It is not a big deal, if you think that you are not happy in that marriage, just make your decision and walk out from that. For most of the female, they would think their love which has been showered to him will change his character. It's all bullshits, if he is born with that character, nobody is able to change that. Stop dreaming, ladies........

Colour

Many everyday expressions in English are made from colors.We say we are "in the pink": when we are in the good health. It is easy to understand how this expression was born. When the face has a nice fresh, pink color, it's a sign my health is good. If I look pale and gray, I may need a doctor.

Red is a hotter color than pink. And Americans use it to express heat. In English, the small hot peppers found ini many Mexican foods are called "red hot." for their color and their fiery taste. We say that fast, fiery music is "red hot" especially the kind called "Dixieland Jazz".

Blue is a cooler color. The traditional blues music of American blacks is opposite of red hot music. It is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a faamous song, Mood Indigo, about the deep blue color, indigo. In the words of the song, "You ain't been blue till you've had that Mood Indigo". To be "blue", of course, is to be sad.

While the color green is natural for trees, it is an unnatural color for humans. When someone does not feel well, someone who is seasick, for excample, we say he looks green. When someone is angry because he does not have what someone else has, we say he is "green with envy". Some people are "green with envy" becouse someone else has more dollars, or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks becouse that's the color of the back side of the money.

The color black is often us in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a "black day". A blacklist" is illegal now, but at one time, some employers shared blacklists of people who shouls not be given work.

In same cases, colors just describe a situation. A "black out" in world war II, was when all lights were turn off to make it difficult for bomber planes to find their target at night. A "brown out" is an American expression for reduced electrical power which make elctric light dim.
American women use the Frech word for red as the name of the colored cosmetic which they some times use to brighten their cheecks. It's just called "rouge". They use in especially when they are going out for the evening, or as American say "to paint the town red".
A person's skin may become yellow as a result of diseases that attack the liver. Yellow fever is one. In the past, ships carrying yellow fever victims raised a flag called the "yellow jack".In the United States, an activist organization of older people calls itself the "gray panthers". The name comes from the gray hair of its members and from the panther, a fierce animal of the cat family.

Kids in Town

Have you ever taken this problem seriously? From studies it is clear that Kids in cities are more obese than that of villages. In that majority of obese are adolescent girls. The high percentage of obese children in cities is mainly because of their lifestyle and food habits. Todays new generation is addicted to junk foods, chocolates, crisps, colas etc.

Beyond this, lack of exercise too lead them to obesity. Nowadays our children are glued most of the time to television, computer and video games. They have the bad habit of having some snacks while watching TV also.

In my case during this school holiday of my daughters, they spent lot of time for the above described activities. I use to take them to Youth Park on weekends, usually we will spend 1 or 2 hours there. Thus they get body exercise and same time pleasure to their mind.

The main consequence of obesity is coronary heart disease (CHD), joint diseases, skin disorders and increased risk of cancers.

Some tips to avoid obesity:

1. Do good exercise.

2. Don't be addicted to junk foods.

3. Try to have some home made foods.

4. Cut down the time of watching TV.If we are ready to go through these habits, it is sure that we can keep away the problem - "obesity".

Life

Life is a possibility, embrace it.
Life is beautiful, admire it.
Life is wonderful, enjoy it.
Life is a dream, follow it.
Life is a bewilderment, face it.
Life is a mission, fulfill it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a treasure, cherish it.
Life is rich, savior it.
Life is lovely, revere it.
Life is a mystery, uncover it.
Life is pain, endure it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a tragedy, forbear it.
Life is luck, benefit from it.
Life is an adventure, be regardful of it.
Life is very precious, delight in it.
Life is a war, learn from it.
Life is life, fight for it.

Trading Strategy

If you are a novice trader perhaps the easiest forex trading strategy to use is a swing trading strategy as it overcomes two problems that most novice traders face but can't overcome.
By using a swing trading strategy not only can you overcome these problems, you can give yourself a great chance of currency trading success.


Let’s look at this forex trading strategy in more detail

1. Patience
Most novice traders lack patience and they think the more they trade the better.
Most go for forex day trading which is probably the best way to lose money you can get – day trading simply does and cannot work, due to the fact all short term volatility is random.
You can never get the odds in your favor and you can never win – PERIOD.
Other traders however lack patience when long term forex trend following – they simply cannot accept the profits it wants to give them!
We all want profits – but when you sit on a long term trade and see open equity dips of thousands of dollars the temptation to take it is huge and most novice traders bank profits far to soon.
If you are forex trend following you need to take a bit more risk and that means hanging on for longer term gains.
Most traders simply don’t have the patience and discipline to do this and it’s hard even for pro traders.
Swing trading when incorporated in a forex trading strategy overcomes the problem.
You are looking at making profits in periods of 3 days to a few weeks, so you are never holding a position for long periods, and there are plenty of opportunities to keep the trader interested and finally, stop loss protection can be tight keeping risk low.
Forex swing trading is easier than long term trend following as you don’t have to be so patient, it’s easy to maintain discipline, which is the key to big forex gains.

2. Swing Trading is simple
Swing trading tends to be quite simple to learn.
All you need to do is look at support and resistance and use some momentum indicators to time your trades.
One or two timing indicators are all you need to judge price momentum as it moves into test support and resistance and your all set to swing trade.
Being simple to understand is a big advantage, because from understanding comes confidence and from confidence, flows discipline – the key to successful trading is having the discipline to follow your plan through periods of losses and is a trait all successful traders have.
So if you want to trade currencies then try swing trading its simple, easy on the mind and can be very profitable.
Consider it as part of your forex trading strategy and let it help lead you to the currency trading success you desire.

The secret recipe to success is nothing but believe

I went for a movie with my kids last Sat, it's a aminated movie by the name of "Kungfu Panda". The story is about how a day-dreaming Panda who does not know anything about Kungfu become a warrior to protect the whole valley for being attacked. It's a nice show, relax, worth to see...

I like one sentence in that movie, it says " The secret recipe to success is nothing but believe". God created human with their own talent, believe in ourselves, we can do whatever we wish to do.

Never give up..... Let us try our best to achieve our destination....

Fate

In our whole life, there must be 1 or 2 person(s) who we miss the most. When I first met him 15 yrs ago, he was my sales manager, we had plenty of sweet memories together. Time passes by, I have my own family and he is single still and work in overseas.

God's Will that we met again, even for a short period of time, it's enough to have that sweet moments which will always vivid in my memory. He is gone at the end, wishing him to have a piece of mind...

Fate is a special gift from the God, treasure whatever that you have in hand.

Attitude

I seriously don’t understand how the student works nowadays. When u ask them “Any homework today?” They either reply “Don’t know” or they reply “wait ah, I call my friends and ask”. Not only my daughter will call her friend to ask, I receive calls from her friend as well. And I found out they used to ask for things on the last minute, ie, before sending her to school in the morning, she wants my photocopy of IC, this kind of request really make down, how am I going to photostate early in the morning????
I remember those days when we were schooling, what we do after lunch/ dinner, the 1st thing is to take out all homework and start doing. Looking at our kids now, TV is their priority, while having lunch / dinner, watching TV, while doing homework (by given such a ridiculous reason, ie go the toilet), watch TV again…..
Is this caused by attitude problem or this is the trend ??

My mother


I am so blessed to have a lovely, wonderful and understanding mother. She helps me to take care of my two little angels when I am working. She never blames to me as how difficult she faces with my children daily. I can't imagine what if one day she is no longer with me, what would happen to my children and me ? Am I going to stop work, just to look after them?
Mummy, I am not a good daughter to you neither a good mother to my kids. In fact, I am tired in attending so many classes at night, but I have my reasons why I am not at home. Mummy, by looking at you getting thinner and thinner each day, what can I do to help you?
Mummy, I love you.

The luck wasn't on me

I saw lots of cars queuing at the petrol station on my way back from work yesterday, before I send a text to ask my friends, I receive lots of sms informing of the petrol is increasing tremendously(about 40%). No jokes, RM0.78 per litre is killing most of us who is salaried.

I decided to pump in petrol after my class tonight at 11.00pm, I thought in 1 hour , I can get things done. After 50 minutes in queuing, harooy, I got my turn, I rushed to the cashier to pay for the bill, unfortunately the cashier told me that their system was 'air-cut' by the damn Petronas. I told her I don't mind to pay at RM2.70 per litre, I need to pump as my car's tank is already empty. She told me 'Sorry, can't help, the system does not allow any transaction'.

Am I that bad luck as such ?

This teaches me do not get things done in LAST minutes...
