Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

Wishing One and all a Blessed Christmas and a fruitful year ahead!

Highlands Holiday!!

Last month, i finally did something that i have been wanting to do for a very long time; going with my parents for an overseas vacation.
We chose Genting Highlands for a 3D2N holidays as that is a place which none of us has ever been to.
The nice cooling weather there is something which i enjoyed although overall there isn't much to do except for eating and walking around. The food there is also rather costly. All in all, it was a rather good family time spent together.

Thermometer vs Thermostat

Many times, we live our life as a thermometer. We know how to feel, assess and critique a situation or an environment. We think in our hearts and say things like "The group is too boring, We need to be more pro active... the people are very cliquish etc..." without doing anything to help or improve the situation. Many times this will feed and lead to a cycle of negativity which does not value add anything.

Either this, or we can choose to be a thermostat. By definition, A thermostat is the component of a control system which regulates the temperature of a system so that the system's temperature is maintained near a desired setpoint temperature.

In other words, a thermostat will take action. When the thermostat feels that the group is too cold, it will help to increase the warmth. When the thermostat feels that people around is feeling discouraged, he will try to lift up the spirits of all around. When the thermostat feels that there lack of support, he will increase the level of support.

A thermostat is invaluable.

So, would you rather be a thermometer or do you want to be a thermostat to make a difference...?

Be a thermostat!
