Stay Calm!

For the past 1 week or so, if you walk around the business district over the world, you will see many gloomy and tense faces. Reason? The sudden collapsed of world stock markets at lightning speed. It took many investors (big or small) by big surprise. Overnight, tons and tons of money being wiped out just like that!

US economy continue to looks bleak and talks about recession is unavoidable. From the "prediction" of market experts over the world, the bearish situation will continue for a while (conservatively). So, for those who got their fingers burnt during this calamity, I hope you folks stay calm and maintain a positive self. Remember, you can't control the situation but you can control your reaction to the situation!

At this difficult time, if you are looking for some motivational source, besides my inspirational blog (hehe), I am recommending the book by Andrew Matthews entitled "Happiness in Hard Times" (click on the image below to see more details of this book).

 

Another book by the same author with similar theme (Being Happy) for the sharing:


Lastly, my sharing of the quote. This time round, it's an upgraded version of an existing famous quote, kind of like 2.0 version:


"There is always light at the end of the tunnel, as long as you can keep going till the end!"
(Especially to those who have suffered from the recent financial meltdown!)

Cheers!

Happiness In Hard Times

Recently, I am re-reading the book called "Happiness In Hard Times" by Andrew Matthews (click on the image on the right to see more details of this book). I noticed that the purpose/objective of this book (and many others, of course) is pretty much in-line with the sole objective of my blog i.e. trying to create an additional avenue for everyone to feel more positively towards life, this is especially true when we are in hard times.

I especially like the following quotes from the book:

"Acceptance is POWER"

"If through sadness you can fix the future, then do it! But being sad doesn't fix the future!"

As I mentioned in my earlier post, happiness is a choice and not a reflection, let's choose to be happy in whatever situation we are in now. Also, I felt that happiness is a form of contagious "virus" and we (everyone of us) has the power to "Inspire It Forward" and emit the energy of happiness to the people around us. JUST DO IT!

My original quote on happiness for the sharing:

"Two simple acts that will make you and the people around you happy are Smile to others AND Laugh with others"

Cheers.
