My ailing country

Malaysia has been ailing this last few years. Corruption, political instability, racial tension, a sliding down currency and economy. A scary trend.  What I know for sure is this is the crumbling of the old world order, which does not work anymore. The building of the new world order has to be expedited and intensified. Racial unity, oneness of religion, equality, eradication of all kinds of prejudices. For one to survive this and to live a fully happy life, one has to turn his/her face to God and to have faith that crisis and victory is the flow of life. A temporary crisis.

Into the 40s

I am 43 this year that is well into my 40s. I have been thinking much about this phase in life. Not sitting down and thinking about it, but it's in my mind all the time. Being 40, and what's next. Much comes to mind, as in saving for the boy's college, work, what do I do when I retire, do I do what I am doing now or do I take up some thing else. Counseling has been coming to the mind over and over , do I pursue it? I am afraid. Afraid of the hard work needed, afraid of the time taken, afraid of the commitment. But at the same time I may not want to be in the same routine. Nothing worth having comes easy.
