Thought for the Day No.11

This morning the church pastor delivered a meaningful and timely message for the congregation at the Chinese New Year Day's special service for the challenging times ahead for this year.

The key points were:
# We must have a clear objective and goal
# With the Lord there is always Hope to reach our destination
# Nothing happens unless we take action - high spirited prayerful action
# Make adjustment when needed - persevere and be prepared to be something else when the circumstances demand for it -the Lord will always be there to see us through

He quoted examples like Barack Obama who confronted his critics and achieved the unbelievable to become the first black African President of USA - something deemed "impossible" in many people's minds. With this accomplishment he has given so many people Hope for the future throughout the world.

Another person he cited was Dr William Tan, a polio victim, who went on to become the top of his class in Harvard Medical Faculty of the University - on the first day of class his lecturer told him not to waste his time and deny another student the rightful place in the class.
At his graduation day, the same professor repented who profusely asked for his forgiveness and told Dr William Tan " that on that fateful day, he only saw the wheelchair and not the amazing person on it"

For Business Growth:
"No matter how clear our goal .... without focussed relevant action nothing happens"

For Personal Growth:
"No hardship and sacrifices - No victories"
