This question has been lingering in my mind for about a week. It was Sunday Starprobe on Abandon Aged Parents  by Children that prompted me to think over what our society had became. We seems to pay more attention to our growing children than aging parents. It reminds me of a Chinese New Years Commercial directed by the late Yasmin Ahmad, the video ready depict the deteriorating bond between parents and children as the society getting more and more materialistic.

In the above video, 4 women were having a festive dinner in an old folks home, 3 of them were boosting about how successful their children were and how much they earned. The 4th woman was a little uneasy talking about his son success in front of the other 3 women, apparently her son is not doing as well as the other 3 women children.

When her turn came to talk about her son, all she can said is her son is coming to pick her up every time they are going for some outings.At that very moment, her son’s car arrived and with the envy of the other 3 women, she left with her son’s family.

Each time I watch this video, it give me mix feeling as I never have a chance to really care for my parents. Both of them passed away at a young age while my younger brothers and I were still in our teenage years.

Most of us only appreciate the person we have lost but conveniently ignore the pleasure of having the person around us. Spend time with them even simple gesture like going window shopping together or just driving around chitchatting. The video depicted indeed touch many Malaysian hearts and arouse the feeling of piety toward our parents. But there is one question always trouble me, I once asked an Character First Consultant who share this video to emphasize the important of building a righteous character.

“Why was the 4th women in the old folk home?”

The question was not answered by the consultant as he was taken aback by my question. Perhaps, the late Yasmin Ahmad is leaving it to us to appreciate the bond that we have with our loves one. To me, the 4th woman was just paying a visit to her old friends in the old folk home during the festive season.

At times, I believe it is better to leave gap for each of us to fill it up ourselves.

I feel rather sad when I read an tribute article for the late Yasmin that one of her friend who is working nearby to her office, always wanted to have lunch with her but never have the time to, and he is feeling regret for not making the time.

Treasure what You have and always make time for your love one.

So who have you been neglecting thus far or who do you want to spend sometime with but never have the time to make up to? Do it now as the sometimes may never come!

I was surfing one of my social network site that I joined last couple of days. The challenge of joining any new social network is  that you have to answer many of the question in the profile and to decide which of you personal particular you want other to see.

Well the social networking site I joined is not the normal network site that most people are joining, they are a groups of corporate executive, entrepreneurs and business person. YO can clearly see their profiles listed and the message they wrote and question they asked, It is truely something different from many of the Social Network that I had join.One thing about joining any social network is that you will be invited to join similar netwroking groups of sites, and throught this site, I had joined a couple of newtworking that suitable to my profession and aspiration.

While reading some of th email and invitation, one of the, caught my attention, it say,” How would you like to make as much money from home and it is 100% FREE.” Well every one like FREE stuff, and one of my involvement in Internet business is to share FREE stauff with my subscribers, that was my quest and it lead me to build my very first website about internet marketing and online business. I am upgrading the content and may change it to block, the PR it carry is too good to lay idle. Will let you know once it is revised. Back to the letter, this is what it written, from a fellow members David who is now my sponsor into this social networking site.

“Last week I was checking out the science channel, the first thing that got my attention was a few names like MYSPACE, FACEBOOK, YAHOO, GOOGLE. The reason this got my attention, they were talking about how young people have become very wealthy.

Lets start with Bill Gates if you were in a room with Bill when he was talking about his plans and needed start up money would you say how much, probably not. Take two college men who had a idea for the internet (MYSPACE) they found a way to get a lot of people to become members at around 160 thousand a day. This opened the door for the companies who advertised on TV to advertise on the internet and that is how all the young people are becoming BILLIONAIRES.  What he said at the end was if you want to make money from home get with the people who find a way to get the advertisement on board. I have found that group of people and it is FREE.

How much money would you like to make!  I have the way, get back to me

The site name is a little funny to me, but nonthesless, out of curiosity, I just join, no harm done since it is FREE, no credit card detail needed, they did not even asked for home addres and phone number and have a very strict provacy rule.

One of the benefit of joining social network site is you will be able to link to many people of the world with diverse interests and it is  the best platform to expand your contacts and exposed your website and blog. What this social network promised to share teh profit will be an added benefit, if it did not deliver, you will still be able to make some friends and who know, that is the beginning of another new venture.
