Coming soon
Sorry for the lack of updates, been quite busy of late. Work and other commitments have been taking up most of the time. The rest of it has been primarily occupied by sleep and procrastination among others.
Updates will be coming soon, and something relatively big to me on a personal level will be coming within the week. Stay tuned!

"With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance all things are attainable." - Buckston, Philosopher
Simply said, almost everybody in the world are born with the same qualities. No doubt, your upbringing would have shaped you. But even an "average" person can become extraordinary with nurturing and guidance. Anyone can succeed and be great one day. All you need is a dream, and with a sheer amount of willpower and perseverance to succeed, nothing can stop you!

Prize and price
As part of the movement to revamp and move in a new direction, here is a quote.
The following quote came from the speaker who spoke at a seminar I attended, a millionaire who retired nearly 13 years ago at the age of 32, Mr Kankan Battacharyya.
"For every prize, there is a price." - Kankan Battacharyya
Don't you think it's very true?
No matter what you wish to achieve or get, you have to pay a price. The price can come in many forms and can comprise of many things, such as time, effort, sacrifices, etc. However, the onus is upon you to judge or determine whether the price is worth paying for what you want. When I say sacrifices, it doesn't include acts like self-mutilation or the like. It doesn't mean sacrificing your values. The prize should be rewarding and benefit somebody (if not yourself).
Ok, I might not be writing well today. Despite the desire to write, I'm suffering from mental/writer's block and having some difficulties generating proper content.
It's a sign I need to sleep early tonight. Till the next post, cheers.
New start...
Ok, first things first, this is now going to be my personal blog. Differing Perspectives shall now be used solely for my photography, film and video works, advertisements, etc.
Those who have visited my blog when it was still at the old URL (above) in its last days would have known I was going through a lot, and my health suffered as a result. But to push myself through this ordeal, I have been reading more motivational books again and I am getting better. Many thanks to those who have shown concern.
I have since decided to restart my entire blog, and deleted all the meaningless posts from the old URL. I will be transferring those which still remain and are more meaningful to this blog. These posts generally contain very interesting quotes, and my reflection on them. That explains the direction that this blog is heading - to enrich and empower my readers.
And of course, once in a while, I might rant a little, and thus, the last part about ranting.
I have also deleted my Cbox entries to start anew. I genuinely welcome any readers to tag or comment on the blog and its entries. Any constructive comments and criticism will be accepted and published. Any groundless accusations and the like will be deleted/blocked.
I do hope with the new direction the blog is headed, more readers will come by and be inspired and enriched by its contents. No, I'm not trying to go commercial or want attention. I just wish to share what I've read, seen, thought about and I hope through this sharing, I can change the lives of others for the better.
This whole process is going to take a while. It's a gradual process as I have to move posts (editing them here and there when needed), read more (so I can share), and actually manage my time better (so that I can juggle my other activities/commitments, and find time to sit down and write), etc.
Changes will come, and brace yourselves for them. In fact, I hope you guys will embrace the change(s) and spread the word to your peers. The ultimate objective of this blog will be to, as I mentioned earlier, enrich and empower its readers.
If I can change my life for the better gradually, why can't all of you out there? =)
Cheerios and hope to see more people dropping by!
