Unity in Diversity
Unity in diversity...a theme that i came across today which I thought worth sharing.
In simple English, individuals should be complementing one another instead of competing with one another. It is so very true that every one in the world is competing with one another to have or to be the best of the best. All are obsessed with getting the best car, best job, best results, etc... best anything that one can think of. To some extent, we actually even forget the true reason why we work hard to achieve something, because we are more focused on competing with one another.
Instead of competing, one could definitely bring about a more caring and sharing society by complementing one another. "We are all individually different and have our own strength and weaknesses. But by standing together and working as one, we complement each other to become something better".
A simple example for understanding the statement above. The carnation, rose and lily are 3 different types of flowers. Each have different colour, shape, fragrance and size individually,but still a flower nonetheless. They have their differences just like we humans have our differences with one another. But when we put these 3 types of flowers together, a beautiful and fragrant bouquet of flowers can be made because the flowers complement the beauty of one another. Just like the flowers, we can practice the same concept in our daily lives regardless of the disagreements and differences among one another.
Unity in diversity ... truly something that all of us should realize and practice because the world is not us about our selfish selves, but also everyone else around us.

Charles, work hard on it... I don't think you lose interest fast la. Just that sometimes all of us fall short of motivation and it's been happening quite often for some of us... So, we'll have to work harder and work smarter.
