THE KISS.

In this photo, PLEASE read the short caption before looking at the photo.
You'll notice that she didn't care if he was dirty, she didn't care if he smelled like burnt wood, she only knew this man saved her life and she thanked him from her heart the best way she could .

The Kiss.

She is pregnant;
he had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire.

When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.

A photographer from the Charlotte, North Caroline newspaper, noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman.

He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondering what she was going to do.

As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies and kissed him just as the photographer snapped this photograph.

The talking frog.


This guy is 72 years old and loves to fish.

He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, "Pick me up."

He looked around and couldn't see any one.

He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again, "Pick me up."

He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.

The man said, "Are you talking to me?"

The frog said, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen . I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!"

The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front breast pocket.

Then the frog said, "What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride."

He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, "Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog."

With age comes wisdom.

Graphology & Physognomy are special skills.


Graphology is the study of handwriting.
By analyzing a person's writing, a behavioral profile can be determined to gain insight into physical, mental, and emotional states of the writer. Handwriting reveals the essentials of personality and character. Graphology will help you understand your inner being.

Physiognomy is the assessment of a person's character or personality from their outer appearance, especially the face. The term physiognomy can also refer to the general appearance of a person, object or terrain, without reference to its implied characteristics.

Today i had a chance to apply my skill on Graphology and Physiognomy. One of my client AF Lee had intention to propose a partnership insurance for one of his recent business partner. Though i hadn't seen his partner before, i could see his face from the photostat copy of the identification card and his signature over our proposal form Lee brought back to me. Is my nature to understand all my future client, i always take a little effort to see their entire face first, follow by their handwriting and signing. The face and handwriting reveal everything about themselves.

I was smiling and laughing when i saw Lee's partner face. Lee was curious and insisted that i should share my hidden talent. This was what i told my client. I might be wrong but i had a gut strong feeling from his signing, this man is a tricky and sneaky person. However he has a very powerful determination and drive. I reminded Lee, he has to be careful and caution in all dealings with his new found partner. Lee was frank to proclaim i was right.

Lee wanted to know more about how i saw his face. The young man has a long and a big nose. I am sure his penis is equally huge and lengthy. Lee could not control his laugh himself. "Yes! Yes! Yes! He has a big one." And i am sure he is an effective womanizer with many girlfriends.

Life is so funny! The elephant is the biggest animal in the forest but is afraid of the rat, the tiny little one. Rat is scared of the pussy. Without those pussies, all rats and elephants might play havoc. This young man might be cunning and naughty, he needs those wild pussies to tame and control him.

I am a half doctor to my client.


Wong CT is a sixty seven years old, typical Chinese businessman who owns an engineering plant. He is a workaholic who refused to slow down in his work. A hot temper person, stubborn and has very high self esteem. Recently i realised he doesn't look too healthy to me. I am sure he was stressful due to his over loaded projects in hand. His two eyes had swollen and i could see he was wiping his tears all the time. His assistant told me he was complaining about pain on his chest. Non of his staffs, friends and family could darn to advise him to see a doctor.

Though i am his attending life insurance agent, i have been his closed friend for many years. As a half doctor on my work, i took up the courage to frighten Wong to seek medical attention immediately. I told directly on his face, "Yes! you might be a big boss to everyone here. You might be rich and powerful, when nobody is brave to raise their voice on you. Not even your wife and only son could overrule you. As i am your best friend i have to tell you...You are sick at the moment and need to see a doctor sooner."

Wong was a little upset at the beginning but i managed to console and convince him to see a specialist for a thorough medical check up, one he hadn't been before. I had fixed the coming Friday, when i would be taking him to the SJ Medical Centre. No way would him missing or avoiding this consultation because i am a half doctor to all my clients. I consider this assistance and help is part of selling life insurance. Unless you truly love this career, you would not walk the extra miles for it.

Do u really need to set sales target in selling life insurance?


Selling tips...

In our life insurance industry, all insurance companies would definitely project and forecast their total sales for every year. They derive their possible targets from their agency forces. The more agencies and more agents they have, the higher their production would be. Within the agencies, the managers concern would also insist on their agents to commit to certain figures which have to be greater than their last years achievement.

Today i was asked by one pretty productive agent what is my target sales for 2010. I told her, in my 28 years in selling life insurance, i had never made any forecast achievable. She was stunned! How could it be possible when i had been qualifying The Million Dollars Round Table repeatedly, and yet didn't set target on those sales.

This was my explanation. My mission to sell life insurance is to save lives. My job was to see as many people as possible, especially those early years in this career. In fact, i wasn't selling but rather i was preaching and spreading the word of love. If you love someone, life insurance is the best gift for the loved one. I was touching lives and making them understood the benefits of this miracle product of love. My dreams and desires were to insure as many families, children, mothers and fathers. Though i had not targeted sales as value but i was aiming the number of cases i should be closing. In my early years in this career, i was seeing as many as 50 people a week. My tasks were to befriend and made them like me. Selling wasn't in my mind, until i knew they were very comfortable with my presence. I was closing an average of two cases per week. I did not treat the cases as sales but rather i had found two new families to be my friends. The size of the cases were not important, neither did the small premium bother me. I just love to meet and assist as many people who gave me the chances. I am glad today, i have hundred of families who are my best friends and buddies. This career is no longer a work to me anymore, because i have turned it to be my life long hobby to keep. My mission is make people happy and succeeding in life. In return, this hobby pays me well with unexpected sales which i never have projected in the first place.

I am deprived of my most important need!!!

Leelee is married to Sani for more than twenty two years ago. I saw them getting married. The wife is 63 now and the husband is 52. They were happily married until recently when Leelee called to share her sorrow with me. She was crying furiously, saying the man has abandoned her and their 17 years old daughter at home for another younger lady.

When Leelee got marry to Sani years back, both were only the working class. Staying in a lower middle range home, both were happy and loving. About five years ago, Sani made a big turn in life when he became rich and famous. They moved over to a high class villa and driving the best expensive cars available.

Rightfully this couple should be contented and satisfied with the man's fortune. Out of her frustration and sadness, she said her husband was accusing her to be torturing him for these many years. The word 'Torturing' depicts many meanings. For the many who had seen and heard her, they might be thinking torturing could mean as depriving the husband to spend, or abusing physically, or controlling his freedom. However i think, this torturing could be more serious and heavier than what written.

With Sani's progress and achievement, i am sure he has to be a healthy intelligent person. A man of such high calibre and aggressiveness would definitely need romance & sex. Looking at the different of eleven years between them, i am puzzled and doubtful the woman of the house could provide the necessary adjustment for this hungry sexual man. Not forgetting he is wealthy and healthy at the moment. The flame of his success could also have changed his character and behaviour. Money is always the root of all evils. His expectation and want in life has gone up. His sexual needs has also lifted up. Leelee didn't torture Sani physically. He was turtured by depriving his most important need as a man.

This spiritual saying is true... "Man has one important need. Woman has Ninety Nine."

Sex twice a week keeps men healthier.

Male readers must read these....

Two sex sessions in a week can reduce risk of heart disease in men, says a new research.

The study showed that men who indulged in regular lovemaking were up to 45 per cent less likely to develop life-threatening heart conditions than those who had sex once a month or less.
In the research of over 1,000 men, scientists found that sex apparently has a protective effect on the male heart but they did not examine whether women benefit too.

Thus, American researchers who carried out the investigation are now calling for doctors to screen men for sexual activity when assessing their risk of heart disease, reports the Telegraph.

Despite sex being considered good for physical and mental health, not much has been scientifically proven about the benefits of frequent intercourse on major illnesses such as heart disease.

In the latest study, scientists at the New England Research Institute in Massachusetts, tracked the sexual activity of men aged between 40 and 70 who were taking part in a long-term project called the Massachusetts Male Ageing Study, which began back in 1987.

Over a 16-year period, each man was regularly quizzed on how often they had sex and then checked for signs of heart disease.

Researchers took into account other risk factors, such as their age, weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

The results showed men who made love at least twice a week were much less likely to have heart disease than those whose sexual encounters were limited to once a month or less.

Analyzing the findings, scientists said the benefits of sex could be due to both the physical and emotional effects on the body.

Men with the desire for frequent sexual activity and who are able to engage in it are likely to be healthier, but sex in some forms has a physical activity component that might directly serve to protect cardiovascular health.

Also, men who have frequent sex might be more likely to be in a supportive intimate relationship and this might improve health through stress reduction and social support.


Yes!!! I totally agreed with these information. That's is why i have no heart disease or any other sickness and healthy as ever.

I always sing this song to all my friends...
7 days makes one week.
7 days of sex makes one weak, but no sex in a week makes one sick.
However, good sex once a week makes one seek!
Have you had yours this week???

When a woman lies...


One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, 'My dear child, why are you crying?' The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family.

The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires.

'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked .
The seamstress replied, 'No.'
The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies.

'Is this your thimble?' t he Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, 'No.'
The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble.
'Is this your thimble ?' the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, 'Yes.' The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.

Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, 'Why are you crying?'

'Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!'
The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney.
'Is this your husband?' the Lord asked.
'Yes,' cried the seamstress.
The Lord was furious. 'You lied! That is an untruth!'
The seamstress replied, 'Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt.
Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney.
And so the Lord let her keep him.

The moral of this story is:
Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to it.
Signed,
All Women

A very touching moment...........

Last Day of school
Arjun Singh and Pargat Singh are very close friends. The whole school talked about their friendship. They had been friends right from their kindergarten days. They have studied together, roamed around together, sat together in school, ate together. They both wanted to become Police officials and serve the country.But today was a day they always dreaded. It was their last day together. On their way back from School Arjun started talking.

Arjun : Bro! I am moving to a different city to study. I will miss you man.
Pargat: I will miss you too mate. But nothing can break our friendship. We will at least meet once every year.
Arjun: Yes that is a deal

and they parted with tears in their eyes....
As time went by, both got busy with their work life. They kept their promise for two years and after that they moved on with their own lives and in the process Arjun lost his contact with Pargat. Time went by and both became Police Officers.

Year: 2009
Venue: The Police station where Arjun works

Tring.... Tring...

Arjun picks up the call and he gets a pleasant surprise...

"Is this Arjun?"
"Yes. Who is on the line?"
" Bro. Its Pargat! I just found out that you are posted in this station"

Tear drops welled up Arjun's eyes

Arjun: Where are you?
Pargat: I am standing outside the Police station. Come Out
Arjun: Is it? I am coming right away.

Arjun rushed out of the Police station and saw Pargat standing outside. They were seeing each other for the first time after thirty years. He wanted to go and hug his friend. But he could not hug his friend. It was a very touching moment for both of them:

Our third eye has Wisdom X-ray of life.


Over at my client office this morning i casually met one of my favorite dear. Through her eyes i could see she wasn't happy though she was trying to put up a smile. I was quick to ask her, "My dear Zazreen. Tell me something is bothering you!!!" I was right! The family was having some problems. Unless they are solved, my poor dear isn't going to have the energy to perform well in whatever she attempts.

Later of the afternoon, i had a chance to meet a fellow male colleague over a cup of coffee. Looking at his face and sensing his words, i could also see him not happy in his heart and mind. Seeking my advices, i told him unless he could overcome his inner spirit, his heart would not be happy. A miserable soul could be arrogance, non forgiving, upset quick and are not willing to work harder. The first step for him to correct himself is to learn to be a love giver rather than as a love receiver.

Both these lady and gentleman were wondering where i learn the skill of seeing the human mind. I told them i have a third wisdom eye gathered and developed while selling life insurance. The X-ray could see through you and same with my eyes too.

To my both special friends - "If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart. And though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that" - wolfdyke Frances Burnett quote.

Romance gains positive energy



It almost midnight but the thought of writing this topic is irresistible. Is romance.

This afternoon over at my friend office, Zakiah was curious where i got my enthusiasm and energy everyday. I never failed to motivate and inspire their staffs when i am at their office. I told her i romance with love everyday. My romance comes in text and words from the people i love, especially the special one. Zakiah was puzzled with my explanation! I unlocked my sms from my mobile phone and showed her my latest message which was sent by my little darling. She said, "Beautiful morning sweetheart, peace be with you and i love you so so soooooo much." That message excited my mind. It spurred me to move with joy and happiness for the rest of the day.

With some persuasion, i encouraged Zakiah to text a love message to her husband. Reluctant at first but finally she sent this message to her man. It was a simple sentence, "I miss you lah."

For the first fifteen minutes when there was no response from him, the lady was a bit upset and tense. She thought the husband wasn't attracted to such uncommon words. Twenty minutes later, her phone sounded. I could see her face was excited with emotion. I knew it was from him. While she was reading the message, she was smiling with joy and satisfaction. She was proud to show the message to me. He said, "Darling thank you for sending this. I love you too."

See! This is what i called romance with love. By applying positive and loving words, it creates an energy force which could inspire and motivate. The cost is almost free but sincere effort has to be applied. I hope Zakiah would continue to romance her love on a daily basis.

You are beautiful & wonderful.


Kabeer my good friend is a well read person who is in the publishing business for more than three decades. A wise man who is most highly recognised by his community. While discussing the beauty of woman, this was his wisdom remark.. No woman is beautiful unless appreciated by men around her.

It's true! No matter how good and sincere you think you are, unless you are recognised by others. You might assume you are kind and humble, but nobody receive your gesture to relate to you. You try to be likable and lovable but everyone is moving away from you. Thinking right isn't be good enough unless others are telling you are right. The best energy and auras one could gain are when others are praying for you because you have done good for them. Their prayers and well wishes allow more blessings to be bestowed in a mystical way to the one who has the true heart to give willingly. So are you beautiful with a warm heart?

Food for thought - “Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.” - Og Mandino quotes.

Take off your bra at the bar for free drinks .


A NIGHTCLUB in Singapore is offering free drinks to women according to the cup size of their bra, reports China Press.

The OverEasy nightclub came out with the idea to attract customers by organising the event themed “Fill My Cups.”

It is said that those with A cup would get one free drink while those with B cup would get two glasses.

Those who wore C cup would receive three drinks.

Women with D cup would be given a bottle of alcoholic drink worth S$168 (RM408).

The daily said the “special offer” has drawn mixed reactions with some seeing it as a creative marketing gimmick while others felt offended and said they would not support such an event.


My opinion...
I could not believe my eyes when i read this piece of neighbouring news. It proves few things to me. Business tactics and approaches have to change in order to be competitive. This proverb seems to be working, "Do the common things but in an uncommon way. The world would be at your command." Next! Women are getting more daring and transparent in South East Asia. Next! Males could live longer if they could see woman breasts everyday. The sight excites their mind and stimulates the heart. Medically is proven to be benefiting for man. Don't believe me please search the google for more information.

Mixed reactions i agreed. The fact is, no husband or boyfriend would allow their ladies to show their bras but they don't mind to see other ladies doing so. Even myself i will not let my little darling to do it. Perhaps the Asian still haven't learned to be open minded yet.

"Work is love made visible" —Kahlil Gibran

About 80% of people are unhappy at work, and 20% are happy. Our culture has separated work from passion, and taught us to prefer a higher paycheck to higher happiness. That mistake costs us our souls. The goal of career development is to uncover one's gifts and passions, and to link them to the practical needs of the world. We call that "being in the right place," "finding a good fit," or "making the best use of one's talents."

CEO Speech (30 Seconds).


VERY SHORT, MOST EFFECTIVE AND HOW TRUE...

30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME. GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST.

Heartless act of a son and daughter-in-law.


I could not believe such news appeared in our country. So sad....

A 57-year-old man, who had just undergone heart surgery, thought he could recuperate at home but was in for a shock when his son told him not to return home.

Harian Metro reported that Abdul Rahman Talib was abandoned by the roadside in Kangar with just a bag of clothes by his 30-year-old son after his daughter-in-law refused to let him back into the house.

“I asked my son to drive me to town although I did not know where I could go. Instead, he left me in front of a school.

“I cried as I stepped out from his car. I did not expect him to treat me like this after I’ve brought him up lovingly all these years,” he said, adding that he felt lost wandering around before finally settling down for the night at a bus stop.

Abdul Rahman said the following day, his son had come to look for him but the old man’s joy was short-lived when he realised that the son was only dropping off his bicycle.

He said he met an acquaintance near the school two days later and was invited to spend the night at his house.

It is understood that the Social Welfare Department had since sent Abdul Rahman to the Batu Bertangkap Welfare Home in Beseri.

Moral of the story: When there is no LOVE, the heart is empty and meaningless in life. Thanks God you have injected a lot of love in me.

Love Romance & Sex.

One of my lady business partner is going to share one of my favorite topic on a platform today. The subject is "How Love Romance & Sex can make you a better person?" Is a scary topic but most people like to listen. Outwardly they pretend to be innocent but inwardly they crave for more. This lady is equally afraid and shy to talk on it. However with some persuasion she finally agreed to do it, because she had heard me spoken many times on other occasion.

This was what i told her. There are two types of people who want to do well in life. The first are those who have to work hard and be responsible. They need the external energy to motivate them to work. They have to create dreams and goals to excite them. They need the physical world or earthly possession to encourage them to move. Without the dollars and cents, they might find it difficult to stride. On a long term basis, they might run out of external energy and motivation.

The second type of people depend on inner energy and determination to work hard. The inner strength comes from love through his or her heart. Love always has magic. In order to have this love magic remains forever in one soul, one has to seek another soul to romance. True romance creates happiness and excitement in a couple. The happiness makes the couple to be better person. The happiness provides energy and determination for them to work even harder willingly. Sex is to bond the couple beautifully for life.

Everyone has a choice to walk this journey of life. Either you depend on the external force of attraction or rely on your self determination by love. My partner and myself opt to pick Love Romance & Sex because the journey is more pleasant and lasting.

Scolding is bad.


Can scolding solved problems? No and never. I think it makes things worst. When i was a much younger father those days, i made silly mistakes teaching my growing sons. Whenever my children had done some wrongs, the first action would be to scold and yell at them. Not realising they were so afraid at my sight, that later they began to hide the truth from me. They knew if dad would know about their wrong doing, either intentional or unintentional, i would raise my voice to punish them. It took me a long time to learn my errors and unpleasant habits, and by the time i learned, my children had already grown up in their lives. Luckily all my children understood and had forgiven the inexperienced father, today we live happily like brotherhood.

Not only children should not be scolded unnecessary, the adult should also be treated the same. My secretary who had been working with me for eighteen years, always tells the truth to me. Nobody is perfect in this world. One might try to work at her level best but sometimes we tend to make mistakes too. Whenever i knew my secretary had made some wrongs, i normally corrected her with advices and suggestion. Even if the mistakes could be serious, i tried not to raise my angry face to her. I expect her to be frank and tell the truth, so that we could correct the mistakes as early as possible. To get things done, i have to be smart..I rather be angry in my mind unseen. Otherwise how could i have my secretary to work for me this long.

Ah! Another person you can't scold as well. Especially our girlfriends, wives or lovers. My little darling never hide anything against me because she knows i will never scold her if she is at wrong. On the other hand, she has not learned to be smart like me as not to scold at others. I am sure, she might not even know the truth wasn't told to her. She has to learn the hard way!

Specially for the ladies -"Four things drive a man out of his house: too much smoke, a dripping roof, filthy air and a scolding wife"

Family Problem??


A story shared by my dear Soong YF....

Two men, one American and an Indian were sitting in a bar drinking shot after shot.

The Indian man said to the American, 'You know my parents are forcing me to get married to this so called homely girl from a village whom I haven't even met once.' We call this arranged marriage. I don't want to marry a woman whom I don't love... I told them that openly and now have a hell lot of family problems.'

The American said, talking about love marriages... I'll tell you my story. I married a widow whom I deeply loved and dated for 3 years. 'After a couple of years, my father fell in love with my step-daughter and married her, so my father became my son-in-law and I became my father's father-in-law.

Legally now my daughter is my mother and my wife my grandmother. More problems occurred when I had a son. My son is my father's brother and so he is my uncle.

Situations turned worse when my father had a son. Now my father's son, my brother is my grandson. Ultimately, I have become my own grand father and I am my own grandson.. And you say you have family problems...

The Indian fainted…

Enjoy your work and U will succeed.


Many of my friends are planning for holidays during the coming Chinese New Year. I asked them, are they happier now or only when they have reached their destination they would be happy. All of them said they would be much happier when the holiday begins during the New Year.

This relates Happiness first or Success comes first. As far as i am concerned, i take happiness comes first in my life. I have one month before i leave for Shanghai, and every minute of my countdown i enjoy myself at the moment. The planning of the trip makes me excited, arranging the ticket for the flight is interesting, arranging the heavy clothing for the winter there is something different, buying those gifts and toys for my grand children is a pleasure, checking those things i need to do when i am there makes me ponder with joy, and many many little tasks before the take off have already thrilled me so much. In fact i considered my holiday has already started and i am having fun all the way until i reach Shanghai next month.

Selling is the same. I can't imagine those who said Success first and Happiness later, would they actually enjoy selling. I spoke to one of my closed associate who wondered why i got so excited with the beginning of this month. I told her i have already got the big sales in mind though i have not got them in hand. On record i do not have the sales yet but the thought of meeting many interesting and potential prospects makes me happy. I know these prospects and clients would be excited as well when they meet me soon because i have the fullest confidence they would enjoy and feel great knowing me. I am too eager to meet them as they allow me to talk and share my mind, after all talking is in my blood. Whether they buy or don't, as long as they give the attention to me and laugh the heart while listening, i will be the happiest man on earth. I have been doing this for the past forty year selling happily. Or should i say, i enjoy every moment of my selling without bothering whether i could close the sale. This is what i called Happiness first and Success comes at the same time.

To this colleague of my mine from Penang TC Cheng who sent me a short message while i was writing this title, "The Problem of human is..they are not daring to face the truth." Unless you understand what i wrote, you would always dare not face the truth for sure. Hope to see you in Genting today.

Albert Schweitzer said - "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

Why women outlive men?

Do you know life insurance premium for female is lesser than the male counterpart in term of age calculation? According to the mortality tabulation, female outlives man worldwide.

Is true! Because i think women talk and gossip more than men. My little darling said men live in caves and women are not. Men speak only when is necessary, whereas women are more expressive in every sense. Don't believe me, please look around the coffee shops and the market places. Men might be sipping their drinks and reading the newspapers within their tables. The women are different, they could be talking endlessly within themselves until the children or husbands be calling them home. They just love to talk when they have the time and opportunities.

So what is there to be related to living a longer life for women? I believe talking allows one to think and be more creative. In doing so, one could express yourself truthfully when the heart is happier and lighter. Those who seldom talk and speak, tends to be lonely or lonesome. By pouring out your thought and emotion, one gains the satisfaction and contentment. Ladies might be good gossipers or naggers, but they have no frustration and anger after their long winded gossips. Not like men who hide everything inwards, which might not be good for the heart in the long run.

Little darling is worried because i speak and talk more than her. Though i don't gossip, i love talking as a hobby. I speak my mind while selling and i share my ideas on platforms. Talking could really energise and vitalise me. Otherwise i would not be writing everyday to share my thought on blog.

To my dear friends and readers, if you want to live healthier and merrier, please attempt to talk more than you should. You will survive longer. All these are observed while selling life insurance, a product which deals with people and lives.

Reach Out and Touch Someone.


Have a Sunday laugh please............

As I walked down the busy sidewalk with my wife, knowing I was late for Mass, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, ragged vagabonds that are found in every city these days. Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them.

Recalling my old pastor, Pastor Mike, who always admonished me to "care for the sick, feed the hungry, and clothe the naked," I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person.

Wearing what can only be described as rags and carrying her treasured worldly possessions in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition.

Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a true, hidden beauty.

A small voice inside my head called out, "Reach out, reach out and touch this person!"
v
v
v
v
v
v
v
v
v

So I did. See what happened..............

I won't be at Mass this week.......
Food for thought - “I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.” - Maya Angelou quotes.

Are men just like animals when it comes to sex?


A married couple at the Zoo walk past the gorilla enclosure. Says the woman: "Mark, do you know that gorillas are the only animals which resemble men in their behaviour?"

"Look, see that no one is looking and I'll expose one of my breasts to it and just watch how horny it gets, just as you men do".

Mary then exposes one of her breasts, and, sure enough the gorilla begins to get a hard-on and grabs the bars of the enclosure as if it wanted to break free. "See" says the woman, "Now I know why you react the way you do, men can't control their animal instincts, just as gorillas can't".

Says Mark : "Now expose both breasts and let's see what happens".

The woman exposes both breasts to the gorilla and it gets now even more excited and is now desperately trying to escape the enclosure.

Says Mark : "This is incredible, now pull your skirt up, turn around and expose your bum to it and let's see what happens!!!"

The woman pull her skirt up turns around with her bum to the gorilla which by now, extremely aroused, bends the bars apart and breaks free of the cage, grabs the woman and starts tearing her clothes off....

The woman yells: "Mark , what do I do now? Please, help me!!!"

Mark replies: "Well, why don't you give him one of those excuses that you usually give me:

......That you don't feel like it;
That you have a headache;
That you're tired;
That your throat is aching;
That I must understand you as a woman;
That you are depressed;
That it's one of 'those' days;
That you are having a very busy week;
That all you need is just to cuddle;
That you're all tense;
That you have to wake up very early tomorrow;
That you woke up very early today;
That you walked for so long and your feet are aching;
That caresses and hugs is all that you want today;
That you're so tense that all you want is a good massage to make you relax;
That you feel like watching TV;
That you don't wanna miss the soaps;
That you've just come from the hair salon and therefore you can't do it and ruin your hair......."
.......Go on..... explain all that to the gorilla and if he understands, then I agree that we men are just like animals when it comes to sex!!!"

This is my 1000 title posting.



Do you know this is my "One Thousand" title posting? I just could not believe it!!! When i first started on the 22nd March 2007, the first title posted was 'Beautiful World', it was merely fun and curious about blogging. Actually i was instigated by my elder son, Alvin who linked me to his blog site prior to me creating my Wisdom of Life. He thought only younger people could blog and write, but i wanted to prove him wrong that the growing up senior could blog as well. Nothing is impossible when love and passion is there.

The first few months were quite easy for me to write because i had plenty of ideas and stories in mind. As time went along, i almost wanted to give up as i began to feel the toughness of getting more articles to share. Though i might not have many readers at that time, i was lucky to have some comments from the anonymous who gave me encouragement to continue. I picked up courage and commitment, when i realised my cheekiness and creativeness were my strength and asset. The more braver i gained, the more confidence i wrote. I gathered what i saw in my daily life and turned them into stories and wisdom. I wrote the frankness of the world, the ugly and the wonderful part of life. The more i wrote about the hidden part of life, the more my readers love to read and learn.

I know my sharing had benefited many, i had amused my readers to laugh, i had taught them to be brave and naughty too, i had encouraged them to be more loving and caring and i had also made many friends along the way. Even my little darling sometime gets jealous because she knows there are some secret admirers who are in love with me through blogging. I feel great and honour because my blog had also saved some souls. The title, "What is Love Sick?" had actually saved a woman from committing suicide while she was suffering from one. My selling ideas, perhaps had helped those who were at lost in selling. I had overseas readers who came to my homeland to shake my hand. The person that most benefited from this blog is no other than myself. I had expanded my mind while gathering facts and ideas, and i had maximised my creativeness to the peak. I was never a writer before, except making my mouth to earn my living. Today i am so glad that i could express my thought verbally and in words. Talking and writing isn't the same. Talking could be easier but writing is tough. To master the both habits need plenty of training and effort.

I wrote what i feel from my head and heart. In case if i do offended someone out there, please don't take it too hard. May i ask for your forgiveness? I give my thousand of apologies to you.

Yes! This is my 1000 mark. To The Almighty Universe i pray, please allow me to write another 1000 more. I promise to give my best and sincerity to Wisdom of Life here.

A wonderful feeling i had.

Photo: Brandon with his younger sister

I had a good chat over Skype with my eldest grandson, Brandon who is residing in Shanghai with his parents. I hadn't seen them for quite a long time, and i am planning to celebrate this coming Chinese New Year with them in China. In fact at the moment Shanghai is facing severe cold and snowing heavily. Two years ago when i was there, i felt sick because of the cold temperature. I told Brandon that i am a bit worry if the weather isn't going to improve when i turn up next month. Jokingly i asked the small boy of eleven whether he could seek God's help.

This morning i received a cc message from him, when he directed a mail under 'My Wish' to heaven@gmail.com . Would like to share his wish for all to read...
"Plz god, plz make it 20 degrees in Shanghai on the 10 of February to 10 of March for my YaYa when he comes. Thank You GOD."

I was so touched. Immediately i too wrote to heaven at gmail...

"Heavenly Father...
I am sure God, you had received a touching message from my caring grandson, Brandon who seek your assistance. Please grant him his wish because he loves his YaYa so much. He knows this YaYa is always afraid of extreme cold. I have not seen him for quite awhile and i am sure this holiday in Shanghai would be a happy and exciting one for both of us together. Thank you God for blessing me with such a sweet and wonderful grandson. I love him so much.
From The young YaYa."

How true - "The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched. It can only be felt."

Don't buy life insurance by comparing.


Buying tips..

I was introduced to a young prospect who had the intention to purchase life insurance for his child. Upon meeting this gentleman, he was very direct to tell me that he wanted to compare all the various insurance products from some of the companies before making his final decision.

This was what i advised him. Buy life insurance according to your personal needs. Is a disadvantage to let agents know that you are comparing with other plans from another companies. Comparing means to compete with the competitors. In order to secure a sale from comparing, most agents would work out plans that need to compete to maximise their chances. The end result, the plans might not serve the clients but rather to serve the agents more.

I believe all plans work the same. High protection might gain lower return in investment. Or lower protection offers higher returns. There is no free ride, when you pay the minimum and expect high protection and high returns.

The most ideal method to secure a good life insurance plan, is to identify a committed, sincere, knowledgeable agent who has the love over his job. Be frank with what you want and need, the professional agent could easily work out the most suitable program according to your budget and requirement.

Finally i told this young prospect, i only sell and advise clients who are sincere to seek my personal advices and not here to compare my products with my friendly competitors in town. I think he still likes to compare and the choices are still his. Sometimes one has to learn the mistakes in life to understand. As far as i am concerned, i have to stick to my ethic and principle in proper selling.

My powerful quote - "Wives may not believe in life insurance, but widows always do."

Attitude problem in most offices.


One of my regular reader sent a recent letter to me...

Dear Robert

Wishing you and your family a Happy and Blessed New Year!
Something happen to me and I need your advice. Attached is the letter for your comments.

Thanks a lot

Warm wishes

LH.

Over the weekend, i read her attached copy of three full pages. Basically is all about working problems, office politics and conflict, jealousy and back stepping among colleagues. She is a single victim who has no support from her staffs. I wrote a reply to her, which i presume is worth sharing with others. Read on please....

Hi My Dear LH,

I read your entire letter and felt so sorry for you. In the first place, life is never easy because human being has emotion and feeling. Most of us could be sensitive and some are not. Those who are not are those who understand lives better. These are the likable and lovable people on earth.

The likable and lovable people have these qualities in themselves:
1. They love to laugh and like to share with others.
2. They always like making others happier in any circumstances and environment.
3. They forgive and forget. Immaterial who is right or wrong. Forgiving and forgetting is a divine force from the heart.
4. They speak with passion and love.
5. They give unconditionally all the time, even they have to loose for some reasons.
6. Their expectation is much lower in return. They expect a little.
7. They never hate.
8. They try not to worry.
9. They live simple.
10 They are willing to give a lot
11. They always smile and smile.
12. They have friends like themselves or pick on Robert Foo. (Hi Hi!!!)

My dear, nobody in your office was wrong or right. If the world has all the perfect people, i think there would be no heaven. Everyone plays a role, some the bad role and some the good role. You have the choices! You can play either the roles yourself. As for me, i like to play the good role and be a likable and lovable person on this planet earth. Otherwise i would not be trying to make you happier and merrier. The New Year has just started. Would be nice if you could plan for a new resolution for this year....Be a likable and lovable lady. I know you can because you have a heart and a sweet personality.

Warmest regards,

The young man...Robert.

My Resolution - be braver, naughtier, wilder, crazier, sweeter, lovable & likable.

A Young man verses another younger man..................................

On the first day of 2010, there was a young dynamic man posted on Face Book inviting me to be his friend. His name is Teh Cheng Hock. His face looks familiar. With his message below, I remember him. He was my son's classmate in St John, a kid i hadn't seen for almost 25 years or more. Immediately i replied him with joy and excitement, making sure i have to think young and dynamic like them too. I have my new year resolution; to be more braver, naughtier, wilder, crazier, healthier, sweeter, lovable and likable, and more positive minded. I had celebrated my birthday recently, turning 35 from 36 last year and still growing up. Words are not enough, action has to come first. The Face Book allows me to put my thought in action for the rest to witness. Read on please....

Teh Cheng Hock 01 January 2010
Teh says, "Hi uncle robert, how have you been? I was in Shanghai recently and met up with Alvin and Fionne and saw Arianne. She's adorable. Alvin seems to be doing well and is happy now.

How are you doing? Would love to catch up with you and auntie one day yum cha or something.".

Robert Foo 01 January at 22:21
Hi young man, I almost forgotten your face because u have grown so handsome and more mature in look. I think all ladies wld fall for you. Calling me uncle is sad for me. Those ladies who called me by "uncle" will be talking and distancing few feet away from me. Those who address me by "dear", wld be two arms away, calling me "darling" wld be one arm away..i love being called "sweetheart"..coz they wld be almost in my arm.

I am the father & grand father to three sons and six grand children. But my heart age last year was 36, i just turned 35 today. If you are not careful young man, i am afraid u are currently older than me. Right?

Wld be glad to meet up with you to have some fun. Pls call me when u are around this part of planet earth...KL.

Teh CH 02 January 2010
Wah uncle Robert (I dare NOT call you Robert as yet....coz you are still my brother's father)....
You sound like you are having the best times of your life with all the "ladies" experiences as you have described. Maybe you can share more when we catch up huh...

I am based in JB but wife/children are all in KL, so in that sense I am a weekend husband. We should catch up, perhaps during Chinese New Year week. Will you be in town? What is your contact number?

Robert Foo 02 Jan
Young man..Do u know growing old is mandatory, whereas growing up is optional? I chose to growing up. Growing old seems to be dull and unchallenged. Growing up has the world in front of me. To grow up, one has to be brave and courageous. You called me uncle when you were a little kid, but we are at par now. I believe we are only three years apart from our heart age. Please call me Robert, and you will make me happier. For your infor, Alvin's elder son addresses me Kor Kor whenever he sees me. Kor Kor is elder brother.

When you are around here, i would introduce you all my dears, honeys, darlings and sweetheart. Don't forget you have to be brave and courageous to meet them, they like seeing young man. I hope you are!!!

JB is a nice place to work. Near to Spore and not too far home. When you want fun, remain in JB and when you are lonesome, KL is where your family is. Life has plenty of distraction, with your success and handsome personality from the photos posted, i guess isn't easy for you to hold your breath at time. If you want to learn a little about wisdom of life, please feel free to tap into my blog for some enlightenment... robertfoo.blogspot.com . I assure you, you would laugh and understand life better.

I am so glad to reach up with you again. I believe for whatever happened, there ought to be a reason. I am sure is of good reason. You could email me.. robertfootenwah@gmail.com or call my mobile phone 012 2113468. Looking forward to see this great young man soon.

Note: No reply from him yet. Wondering what his feeling is like! Will keep you readers inform if he dare to.

I certainly agree to Oscar Wilde said "To love oneself is the beginning of life-long romance."

Blonde's Joke - Heart Attack!

Have a Sunday New Year Laugh before you start your work tomorrow...

A blonde gets home from work early & hears strange noises coming from the bedroom. She rushes upstairs only to find her husband naked lying on the bed, sweating and panting. 'What's up?' she asks.

'I think I'm having a heart attack,' - cries the husband. The blonde rushes downstairs to grab the phone, but just as she's dialing, her four-year-old son comes up and says, "Mummy Mummy Aunty Shirley is hiding in the wardrobe & she has no clothes on."

The blonde slams the phone down and storms back upstairs into the bedroom right past her husband. Rips open the wardrobe door and sure enough, there is her sister, totally naked and cowering on the floor. 'My husband's having a heart attack, and you're running around naked playing hide and seek with the kids!!'

Do you know - “Women react differently: a French woman who sees herself betrayed by her husband will kill his mistress; an Italian will kill her husband; a Spaniard will kill both; and a German will kill herself.” - Bernard Le Bovier Fontenelle quotes

It was a very hard decision to make... So try not to screw it up!!!

My Wish for You in 2010
