| You Are 55% Passionate, 45% Compassionate |
 You possess an ideal balance of passion and compassion. You definitely can get swept away and lose your head a little. But you're rarely a fool for love! |

| Your Values Profile |
 Loyalty: You value loyalty a fair amount. You're loyal to your friends... to a point. But if they cross you, you will reconsider your loyalties. Staying true to others is important to you, but you also stay true to yourself. Honesty: You don't really value honesty. You do value getting your way, no matter what. And if a little lying is required to do that, no problem. A few white lies never hurt anyone (at least, that's what you tell yourself!) Generosity: You value generosity highly. So much so that you often put your own needs last. There's nothing wrong with having a caring heart... But you may want to rethink your "open wallet" policy. Humility: You value humility a fair amount. You tend to be an easy going, humble person. But occasionally your ego takes over. You have a slight competitive streak - and the need to be the best. Tolerance: Not only do you prefer to be around people very similar to you... They're the only kind of people you'll tolerate. You know what you believe in, and you don't like to deviate from that. You don't hate people who are very different - you just don't want to be around them. |

Real work gets real things done and leaves you feeling like your labors have created something important.
Accomplishing something difficult, working like a team and coming home tired are irreplaceable feelings – only real work can provide them.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - The government will ban people in foreign-registered vehicles from buying gasoline in border areas of Malaysia, where heavy subsidies have kept petroleum costs low despite soaring prices internationally.
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Shahrir Abdul Samad said a day earlier that the ban was aimed at keeping foreigners from driving into Malaysia from Thailand and Singapore to fill up on cheap gasoline and diesel, which cost up to twice as much in the neighboring countries.
The ban was "a stern act by the government to reduce the leak in subsidy," national news agency Bernama quoted Shahrir as saying. His aide, who declined to be named citing protocol, confirmed his comments Tuesday.
The fuel subsidies, which were expected to cost the government 45 billion ringgit this year, "should actually be enjoyed by the lower-income group in the country" and not foreigners, Shahrir said. "This move is temporary until we come up with better management of our subsidy system," The Star daily quoted him as saying.
Shahrir said the ban could take effect as early as Friday at up to 300 stations within 30 miles (50 kilometers) of the borders with Thailand and Singapore.
Alang Zari Ishak, president of a local petroleum dealers association, said the ban may hurt tourism and relations with Malaysia's neighbors. "It's a very harsh decision," he said. "There are other ways to curb this subsidy money being utilized."
Enforcement officers will monitor gasoline stations and signs will inform motorists of the new rule, Shahrir said. Those found breaking the rule could be fined or face up to three years in jail, said another official in Shahrir's ministry. He declined to be named, citing protocol.
Currently, foreign registered vehicles are allowed to buy only up to 5.3 gallons (20 liters), he said. Although oil prices have soared globally, the government of Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has not raised retail gasoline, diesel or gas prices.

Living a life of purpose is a choice. We have the choice to strive toward goals that make the world better for others and for ourselves, or not.
Living a life of purpose makes life more meaningful, makes the world a better place and helps you reach your personal goals. But where doe purpose comes from? The greatest purpose is helping to make life in the world we live in come closer to perfection of the forms. The feeling you get when you look at your house and say, it’s nice but not as nice as it should be, comes from your inner awareness that there is an ideal form the house is striving for. Bring the imperfect world closer to the perfection of the forms was a natural ambition and a deeply satisfying purpose.
Focusing more on man’s happiness made the powerful argument that happiness flows from goodness. When we are unhappy, instead of seeking pleasure, we should seek virtue because happiness is actually a moral state. The better we are as people, the happier we will be. But that still leaves the questions of what exactly virtue is and where virtue comes from, unanswered.
The individual must make a choice to believe in a purpose, a choice based on personal feeling rather than on logic. If belief and purpose were easy, everyone would have them. Where does purpose comes from? It comes from everyone else. It comes from the complex, rich life lived by every stranger you brush against in the street.

A tonne of ore from a gold mine produces just 5 grams (0.18 ounce) - HONJO, Japan - Thinking of throwing out your old cell phone? Think again. Maybe you should mine it first for gold, silver, copper and a host of other metals embedded in the electronics -- many of which are enjoying near-record prices.
It's called "urban mining," scavenging through the scrap metal in old electronic products in search of such gems as iridium and gold, and it is a growth industry around the world as metal prices skyrocket.
The materials recovered are reused in new electronics parts and the gold and other precious metals are melted down and sold as ingots to jewelers and investors as well as back to manufacturers who use gold in the circuit boards of mobile phones because gold conducts electricity even better than copper.
"It can be precious or minor metals, we want to recycle whatever we can," said Tadahiko Sekigawa, president of Eco-System Recycling Co which is owned by Dowa Holdings Co Ltd.
A tonne of ore from a gold mine produces just 5 grams (0.18 ounce) of gold on average, whereas a tonne of discarded mobile phones can yield 150 grams or more, according to a study by Yokohama Metal Co Ltd, another recycling firm.
The same volume of discarded mobile phones also contains around 100 kg of silver, among other metals.
Recycling has gained in importance as metals prices hit record highs. Gold is trading at around $890 an ounce, after hitting a historic high of $1,030.80 in March.
Copper and tin are also around record highs and silver prices are well above long term averages.
RECYCLING METALS
Recycling electronics makes sense for Japan which has few natural resources to feed its billion dollar electronics industry but does have tens of millions of old cell phones and other obsolete consumer electronic gadgets thrown away every year.
"To some it's just a mountain of garbage, but for others it's a gold mine," said Nozomu Yamanaka, manager of the Eco-Systems recycling plant where mounds of discarded cell phones and other electronics gadgets are taken apart for their metal value.
At the factory in Honjo, 80 km southwest of Tokyo, 34-year-old Susumu Arai harvests some of that bounty. A ribbon of molten gold flows into a mould where it sizzles and spits fire for a few minutes before solidifying into a dull yellow slab, on its way to becoming a 3 kg gold bar, worth around $90,000 at current prices.
Wearing plastic goggles to protect his eyes while he works, Arai said he was awestruck when he started his job two years ago. "Now I find it fun being able to recover not just gold, but all sorts of metals," he said.
The scrap electronics and other industrial waste is first sorted and dismantled by hand. It is then immersed in chemicals to dissolve unwanted materials and the remaining metal is refined.
Eco-System, established 20 years ago near Tokyo, typically produces about 200-300 kg of gold bars a month with a 99.99 percent purity, worth about $5.9 million to $8.8 million.
That's about the same output as a small gold mine. Eco-System also recovers metals from old memory chips, cables and even black ink which contain silver and palladium.
RECYCLING CELL PHONES
But despite growing interest in the environment and recycling, the industry struggles to get enough old mobile phones to feed its recycling plants. Japan's 128 million population uses their cell phones for an average of two years and eight months.
That's a lot of cell phone phones discarded every year, yet only 10-20 percent are recycled as people often opt to store them in their cupboards due to concerns about the personal data on their phones, said Yoshinori Yajima, a director at Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Just 558 tonnes of old phones were collected for recycling in the year to March 2007, down a third from three years earlier, industry figures show. As metals prices rise, the Japanese industry faces growing competition for scrap, which is pushing up prices.
"We are seeing more competition from Chinese firms, and naturally the goods go where the money is," Dowa's Takashi Morise said. In response, Japanese firms are importing used circuit boards from Singapore and Indonesia, as they also contain valuable minor metals that Japan is particularly eager to recover.
These minor metals such as indium, a vital component in the production of flat panel televisions and computer screens, antimony and bismuth are indispensable for producing many high-tech products.
However, they are often not easy to acquire as China has tightened export controls, making it harder for Japanese manufacturers to buy these metals. That's where the "urban miners" step in. "Our wish is to be able to help Japanese manufacturers that need these metals," Eco-System President Sekigawa said.

Give to help others and to be a witness to the world, to share the perspective of people who need help.
Committing for the long term to help is part of getting that balance right. Treating people who need your help with humanity, with the knowledge that the best way to learn about them is to learn from them, is part of getting that balance right.
At times, the most valuable help you can offer others comes in the form of ideas that unlock opportunity
Having a positive impact is not about who has the most to give but who gives it wisely and well.

“A kind approach, a humble attitude and careful attention to the good among your opponent’s positions will always carry you further in argument than the foolish assumption that you represent the right and your opponent the wrong.”
Seek common ground when you make an argument – tell your opponents, “This is not the taunt of enemies but the warning of friends”. Kind, unassuming persuasion should ever be adopted – never seek to prove yourself superior but always seek to learn from your opponent even as you defeat his argument.
When you know you are right, resist the temptation to stand up and declare the truth flat out to the fools who don’t yet see it – find the opportunity to influence others by inching them away from their illusions instead.
If you know a colleague makes a big mistake while you know the better path. So what do you do? Most of us want to rush in and say, WAIT! You are doing it wrong! The message is not “Let me help”. Its more like “I know better”. The fact that you do know better is not the point. That’s first level thinking – its about how you feel about yourself (“I am right!”).
At the second level, you might ask how will they see and hear me as I try to change their mind. That’s a better question to ask but still won’t do the job. The third level is where the potential for success really lies – the questions at that level are, What do these people think of themselves? What do they want and how can I help them?
Real power comes from genuine emotion and thoughtful understanding, not rehearsed speeches or faked feelings. If we don’t know what to say, we need to check our hearts and our minds to reflect on our true feelings and our ideas, not borrow other people’s.
Long term satisfaction comes from passion and commitment, not from the short tern virtue like beauty and youth.
The external, like the specific words you use, can never make up for poor understanding or lack of belief in what you are doing or selling.
How flexible you can be in expressing your ideas reveals how deeply you understand them.
There is a difference between rehearsal and understanding. Understanding is the key to meeting your goals; rehearsal is a distraction, all about the surface but in the end a false source of confidence.
So how do you make that leap from rehearsal into ideas? The first step is to learn to listen deeply and to ask honest questions, figuring out how other people view themselves and their own needs is an express train to the world of ideas.

"What it takes for a team to thrive - common interest, common commitments and common work that really needs doing."
Common interests are things that speak to all of us in the near term - they motivates us and they are easy to see or to imagine. Common commitments are deeper and driven more by values and long term goals. Common work is clear enough – for a team to perform well, all members need to see the clear and compelling work to be done that only a team can do well.
Teams missing any 1 of these 3 ingredients are likely to fail. Teams can be saved if you know which piece is missing and you can ask the right questions to start filling the gaps.
Shared commitments are the values and beliefs that motivate us, that help us explain to ourselves why we do what we do. Being of service to others can be a shared commitment. Shared commitments go beyond money and other short term goals to answer that question, why? Sure, our team wants to win, but why? Sure, we want to make money, but why? Many teams succeed in short run because they have common interests – like making money – but don’t last in the long run because the question of why was never really on the table.
The people who find the most meaningful lives with growing prosperity are those who can tell you what they believe in beyond the day to day life. Folks who can say, yes, this is where my passion lies, this is the vision I have for a better community, are the ones who make those better communities real. As daily life becomes more a matter of choice than of economic necessity, those who know where their commitments lie beyond the small interests of making it through the day and the week and the month are the ones who thrive.

Hi Guys, i just want to raise some awareness of this issue. I know that due to inflation, rise in commodities and the recent rise in GST, etc.. A lot of you might have become more thrifty than you normally do, spending lesser than you normally spend. For those who are able to sustain, still able to eat good food in restaurants, drink beer, smoke, etc.. I really hope that you can maybe drink less 2 to 3 bottles of beer, smoke less packet of cigarettes, eat in a local hawker centre or food court or kopi tiam for this once.
Over there now is not just problems with lodging. A basic supply of water there is already a huge problem. Can you imagine when olden days of Singapore when there was water shortage. Your parents or grandparents had to queue up and get their share of water. Myanmar's situation is worse than that. Water supplies are contaminated not just by saltwater but also human bodies and animal carcasses. Disease outbreak spread by dirty water, poor sanitation, mosquitoes are also a major concern.
I do not have any rights to force you to make a fix amount of donation as this is voluntary. But i just like to say that since i am voluntarily typing this message to all of you hoping to raise more funds. Lets say we all just make a donation of like $10? E.g 1 person $10, 100 person will be a $1000 donation raised.
And most importantly in our hearts, we all know is that donating money is the most minimum help or assistance that we can provide comparing to those Singaporeans, associations and societies helping the victims over there, doing all the fatigue work, in a condition where diseases have a high chance of outbreaking.
Have a heart and make that donation now. Take a look at the picture above of how to donate to help the victims. It is expiring on 16th of June so please spread this message to as many people as you can.
Lets do a good deed together as this is the most basic we can do. For once, we all share a common goal of helping the victims.

When you find yourself losing, its time to pay more attention to your fundamental beliefs and long term goals – it’s time to play a bigger game.
Focus on trust – if it’s absent, build it by helping others reach their goals.
Purpose is all about having an end in mind and working a little bit longer and harder to get there.
Even after you do everything right, powered by ambition and filled with insights, you’ll find limits to your success. At times, you’ll need to take a leap of faith to get to the next level.
Reason and insight will only take you so far. When reason ends faith begins. Real faith in other people is a risk and takes courage, but it unlocks immense new possibilities.
