Beauty of the Human Spirit







What is the human spirit? A question that begs a thousand answers indeed! Suffice to say, one can interpret it the way one desires. In this article, it is simply the human creating a sculpture that brings smile to me and many others who went to this exhibition.

Clay sculptures of people smiling and being happy are shown at the Soka Association in Tampines St 81 in Singapore. These eye catching pieces are brougnt in by my ex-colleague, Ravinder Singh whom I have written about in another previous article. The sculptor was shown next to Ravinder, as he shook hand with the President of the Soka Association, with the presentation of a specially sculptured piece of Dr. Ikeda, the founder of this buddhism practice.

The sculpture gave a demonstration on the technique on making the sculpture, and if any insight can be drawn is really that it can be learnt! He has several students under his charge, and indeed, many of the pieces were done by them in this exhibition.

I will place more photographs in my picasa web album, which URL is under the "Links I liked." The web albums depict journey of sight which is personal to me, just as you have your own. I hope by sharing such journies, we can have that simple insight that living a good life, with a sustainable consumption, we can make this world last better for the next generation. Such perhaps is the beauty of human nature!

A Blog that Integrates

As I experiment with blogspot which is part of iGoogle, I am beginning to feel its power to integrate. The article on Natural Cure, is posted directly from Google Docs (Beta) in which the original resides. This is the first time I attempted this action, and it works seamlessly. I can now easily write an article in word document, store it in Google Docs (Beta), and then publish it to my blog. If you go to the Links on the left and click on the "Pictorial Journey" you are immediately taken to Picasa, which is also part of iGoogle. In this photo storage, you are able to see what I have put in as public photos. You can also have private photos which are not shared. I have not tried video, as it takes time to edit for something that is worth sharing. Google has purchased YouTube for a few billion dollars, and this means you can integrate video as well. I am sure it can be linked to e-Bay which you buy and sell your stuffs and many more. I have to keep this experiment going to opti...

More is Certain

I had been working on an acquisition over the last three weeks and it was the most tiresome experience ever. The target being a public listed company means that any news leakage will drive up the share price. The purchase price of a public listed company will carry a premium on the share price. In Asia, I noted that the premium given is about 10~15% but in the USA, it is between 20~40%! Just imagine, if you spotted a target and you buy into it, and you hit the bull's eye! You could make quite a bundle. Of course, your guess could be wrong, and if so, expect that share price to go down, when the news is announced. For those working on such a deal, expect tons of information to be provided to you, and most of this could be outdated. However the bank (usually) engaged to do the job wants to impress you with documents. After all, more means "we are doing something" compared to "less but quality stuff". So, I have to keep sieving lousy information, to get out what is...
