Blog started at a tough time as we are tough beings

I have thought of opening this blog for some time, but finally made it open today at the time of facing such magnitude of risks and uncertainties around us.

Bad news have been falling all over the place especially since the bankruptcy of "Lehman Brothers" in the mid of Sept and more bad news even after various government intervention to salvage our banking and finance sectors across the planet, etc.

Hong Kong has no way to escape but to face this new challenge with turmoils in its economy. It is hardly to tell anyone at the time when our HSI was 30,000 that one year later the free fall of HSI could break below 13,000 at 12,618.

People have started to worry including many executives in Hong Kong. Our "sleepless rate" has increased tremendously at the same time.

If we look back our history, we have experienced various hard time but we did go through and can still survive today.

How can we survive well this time?

As each person has different situation, there will not any fixed and definite solution to every one.

Life can present ourselves with various ramdomities that could easily break our optimal motion to handle our environment. As we are the one who put out our motion (or no motion) to handle our environment, now we may need to take our own responsibility to look and see through the "lies", "false data", etc so to readjust our motion to bring the goodness out of any bad situation you may run into.

The way out is way through.

Probably if you sit into any problem or situation brought by this "financial tsunami", you may try to take an exterior viewpoint to evaluate the way how you handle your finance, job, etc that can break the security zone of your own to bring you loss, anxiety or even sense of insecurity.

There is a good advice from the book of "Problem of Work" written by L. Ron Hubbard , that when we got so much introverted (by looking too much into yourself) , then we needed to get extroverted by taking a walk, looking things as far as possible, and finish walking only after passing the exhaustion point to feel brightened up. Instead of being "sleepless", now you may try this method then you can sleep well after the walk.

Nothing can really offer us guaranteed security including money and job in this world. But we know that there is only one security which is the security of confidence in yourself.

I believe many of us are tough beings. Otherwise, we cannot survive until today.

Why are we tough beings? Because we have not lost the confidence in ourselves: we want to be able to create, determine our own course and make things go right.

The future depends on our confidence in ourselves today. So don't lose it!
