Security check at the airport

I went through the security check at the airport. I had to remove my laptop, mobilephone, keys, coins and pen and produce my boarding pass for checking. After clearing through the metal detector, I had to put back the laptop into the luggage and collect back my other items.

As I was about to leave, the security guard said, "Sir, don't forget your mobile phone". It was kind of him to be observant and to remind me. If not, I would have lost my mobile phone.

I wished that the people in charge would find a better way to reduce the hassle faced by passengers in going through secruity. I believe that it should be possible to find a more effective way, without the hassle - if someone in authority look into this issue.

Wisdom on How to Life Life - Tommy Wong

Introduction

Humans being the most intelligent species and having lived on Earth for thousands of years, we are yet nowhere near to a life of peace, love, joy and harmony. This book contains a story of a young man, Tom, who had conversations with two gurus, Dick and Harry. Guru Dick epitomizes someone from a worldly society who emphasized on the importance of money and power. Guru Harry epitomizes someone from a spiritual society who offered an alternative way of living which can lead to peace, love, joy and harmony.

Through the conversations, Tom learnt that (1) why peace is better than happiness as a goal in life, (2) how to be empowered in life, (3) how to achieve freedom in life, (4) how to live with pleasure and without pain, (5) what society should be focused on, (6) what is the objective of education, (7) what are the purposes of life, (8) what are the differences between man-made and divine laws, (9) what are the important spiritual concepts, and (10) how to transform Earth into heaven.

Be positive

I encourage people to have a positive attitude - to focus on what is right, rather than what is wrong. They should also avoid trying to pass judgement on other people, based on their limited knowledge, information, perception or prejudice.

I give my views on changes that will be better for the future of Singapore. I get comments from some people that are negative, cynical or judgemental. They say, "This will never happen", "the government will not agree", "you must be dreaming" and the like. There is no need for them to behave in this manner. If they disagree, they can state their reason. There is no need to be judgemental or to attack another person's views.

I believe that a large number of people supporting a positive change can make an impact. While most of us have been educated to find out what is wrong, it may be better to embark on a journey to find out what is right.
