Nothing is Everything

Nothing is Everything

A successful million dollar table (MRDT) insurance agent was asked what he wanted to be. He said "Nothing". What do you mean? No work. Just laze around. Walk by the beach with my kids. Do nothing.

For the Buddhist, nothing is everything. To empty your mind is the aim of life. No worries, no burden, no pain, no suffering. Nothing.

For Rich Hatch, the survivor champion, wearing nothing is something. It's a fashion statement. "I don't care a damn what the world think about me. I like the way I look".

If anyone can walk out of the house, travel around the world with nothing, there's something, man.

God creates everything out of nothing. Nothing is impossible.


Ask a teenager what he wants to do with his life. Probably he will say "Nothing". What are you doing? Nothing. What are you thinking? Nothing. What's bothering you? Nothing.

I want nothing. I don't want anything. I am nothing. I have nothing more to add.


Free Free Free

Chicken business has been bad lately cos of the Flu virus. Don't eat chicken. Better be safe than sorry.
An innovative chicken stall offered free chicken rice. Suddenly out of nowhere, there's a 3-hour queue for free food. Some went for second round.

What' the lesson here about the Singapore mentality:
1. That it's ok to take the risk if it is free
2. That its ok to waste 3 hours of your life for a $2 plate of chicken rice. Maybe their salary is worth less than 50 cents per hour.
3. That it's ok to go a second round. You eat even if you are not hungry.
Do you know that shoppers buy even if they don't need it. They buy cos it is cheap.

A Fraud Came a Knocking

Yesterday a 40-something man came knocking at my house. He told my wife that I ordered a computer and has come to collect a $1000. She said she will call me up. The fraud vanished suddenly.

Recently, a number of old ladies have been conned to part with their money with cheats. Some variation of the stories like "your son is in hospital and need money for operation...", "I lost my wallet and need some money to take a cab home...", etc. Some were promised they could make a fortune selling useless stuff like panadol and computer parts.
