Yesterday, I bought this book Glimpses and Reflections. Wanted to know what a person he was. Managed to finished reading this book at 5am this morning. A very simple book to read. The book was about his extraordinary and fulfilling life.

There are some topic worth thinking about. Like Money, Borrowing to live, Making friends, Filial Piety, Travel and food, God and religion. You'll know what i'm talking after reading this book.

There are interesting quotes about life. Below are some of it...

Every human being who aspires to have a full life has to work hard.

It is that those who are going to make marriage vows - no matter what form they take - should think seriously about what they mean. Vows are made to be kept and one's word is one's bond.

Cannot expect people to be nice, accommodating and pleasant, when you do not behave likewise to begin with. That is to say, "you reap what you sow." If you offer a cold front, you will be dropped like a hot brick.

Sir Song Ong Siang was a venerable community leader. He posed this question to 20 youthful members (including Mr Wee) "If you have just one wish what would you acquire or possess?" A few responded for wealth, health, happiness and good life. Sir Song said that one should wish for contentment. It can be only achieved if one had all the other qualities and more - good health, good education, good family, happiness and a reasonably good income.



Another book i bought was England's Worst Footballers.
