Welcome to my personal blog on my life and the world as I see it as well as market trading. May you be truly blessed in every way for the year 2008!!!
Here's an interesting excerpt I read recently from an article written by David Round, a Canterbury Uni lecturer and and columnist for the The Press (local Christchurch newspaper in N.Z). With the start of the new year upon us, I thought it would be timely to do a bit of self reflection on life and how we can call make the most of this short time we have on planet earth.
...The monsters we all wrestle with are our own creations. Most often, anyway, they are not random misfortunes haphazardly visited on us by fickle or capricious fate. As I occasionally say to my students about exam time, "I don't fail you; you fail yourselves."
In our national life and our personal life, many misfortunes - physical, emotional, financial, environmental - arise from our own weaknesses. God does not send disaster up us; we bring them upon ourselves.
As long as we are weak and fallible humans, our word will be imperfect. To make it better and stronger we have to start with ourselves.
