When Billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter "Sir what can you remember made you a happiest man in life?"*
Femi said:
“I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness."
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.
At the friend's request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs.
But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.
There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot winning.
I felt REAL joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly.
I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?
*mThe answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said:
“I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again"
What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?
Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?
This is a must read piece .
It got me thinking.
I pray it does same to everyone.
This was forwarded to me by my brother. Whether this really happened or not… it did make me stop to think.
What brings YOU joy?

getting there meaning 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的最佳解答
Turn “Need to” Into “Want to”
“Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:3-5 WEB)
In life, many things happen to us, and how events affect us is how we view and attach meaning to them.
The apostle Paul had this revelation, and he taught the church to view suffering in a new light—to rejoice in suffering because it produces perseverance, proven character, and hope.
He knew how to reframe the undesirable things in life to become something that he wanted.
Suffering produces pain, but Paul reframed it to mean the training of his perseverance, character, and hope. Something bad became something precious and valuable.
We can apply this mindset to anything in life so that our trust is always in God and not in our self-efforts.
For example, if you see yourself putting on weight, your flesh may cause you to think, “I must go on a diet and exercise more so that I can lose weight.” This way of viewing the situation makes you reactive—on the defensive posture instead of wholeheartedly choosing to do something because you love it. When something is viewed as a burdensome chore, you will struggle with it.
Instead, why not detach your goal from the activity and just focus on the enjoyment of the beneficial action? You are not trying to exercise to lose weight—you are already young, healthy, slim, fit, and strong. Jesus paid for you to freely receive health and healing by faith.
When you exercise, there doesn’t have to be a goal. You can reframe your mindset and exercise just because you find it fun and enjoyable. “I like to run and feel my body challenging its limits. At the same time, I get time to enjoy the beautiful scenery that God has made, and listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to me.”
Wow, just like that, exercise without needing to gain anything from it becomes something desirable, just like the enjoyable activity of playing games for fun. Guess what, you will still reap the fitness benefits of exercise when you do it.
This method of refraining things is important because we don’t want to fall into the deception of getting things done by self-effort. Whatever is done by the flesh apart from God’s blessing has to be tiresomely maintained by the flesh.
If you’re struggling financially, and you’re always thinking, “I need to work so that I can earn money,” you’ll be perpetually stressed out, your performance at work will de-prove, and the self-reliance hinders God’s gracious provision and favor that must be received by faith.
No, you’re not working to earn money. You are a child of the wealthiest King of Heaven and earth—money is not something worth worrying about. You are always well-supplied and never lacking. God’s blessing makes you truly wealthy in all ways and He adds no sorrow nor trouble to it.
“Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.” (Proverbs 10:22 WEB)
Instead of feeling forced to work, work because you enjoy it, and because the people you deal with at work will benefit greatly from having Jesus as Lord. You would love to show them His glory through your words and deeds. When you think this way, you detach the goal of earning money from the action of working, and it just becomes an activity that you enjoy and look forward to—it becomes something very meaningful that you can be passionate about.
When you do your best at work to shine brightly for God, to showcase Christ in you, you will still be paid, and very likely, your job performance will improve. The state of mind will change from one that’s dragging your feet to work, to one that runs in, excited to embark on the next task for Jesus’ sake so that more may glorify our Father in Heaven.
Many times, God’s word says “repent”, and I agree that we can change our mind about all the ways we think negatively. Reacting by the flesh, we will always try to compensate for some lacking area by doing hard work, choosing man’s way instead of God’s way. To see a positive transformation, all it takes is a little reframing according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We don’t have to act like homeless orphans fending for themselves on the streets. We have a Father, and we are His beloved children. When your flesh tells you that you “need to” do something, reframe the whole thing by seeing it through Jesus’ finished work at the cross and what that sacrifice has accomplished for you. See how you can proactively “want to” do the task. Rest from fleshly self-efforts, and actively receive the supply of grace for every need!

Video - Tasha’s Pei-Pei
I don’t know a single Mandarin . So does Dr Halina but yet we send our girls to SJKC .
Why ? - Because we understand the importance of Mandarin .
It will be an advantage for the girls in years to come .
Furthermore it’s good to master many languages including Arabic and French.
But for those who plan to send your kids to a SJKC School ...it takes lots of effort and commitment .
Firstly you are unable to teach them .
You don’t really know what they are learning as all subjects are in Mandarin.
They certainly need extra classes.
Bella & Tasha have extra classes 4x a week .
They usually able to truly speak & write fluently when they are in Standard 3 .
Anything earlier - don’t expect too much .
It takes time for them to adapt as Mandarin is a tough language .
Bella is quite proficient in Mandarin but Tasha is getting there .
Different pronunciation will bring about different meaning .
It’s challenging but will be totally worth it.
Sending to SJKC from an early age is the only way for them to be fluent .
That’s the best way - surrounded by Chinese friends and environment .
Also I loved SJKC teachers - they are as strict as can be .
Memang garang - Haha
Just sharing
Salam Everyone
Love As Always
PS - Adam & Noah will soon go to a Chinese
Kindergarten too . So will Eusoff & Emelia .
That’s the plan .
Read all the plans for my kids in ‘ My Way Of Parenting’ Book .

Hello everyone, I know it's been a while. I just thought I would put together some of my old Taiwan clips on my hard drive and try to make something to help everyone relax, a little like an ASMR video. No deep meaning or profound points made, just a chill out video. It was fun to play with a bit of animation. How is Taiwan now? I hope everyone is staying at home and not getting infected! I am preparing some new Line stickers. The bird character that you saw in the video will feature and so will the Taiwan monkey. I may make some short animations about things that happened to me in Taiwan if you you would like know about my life when I was living there, leave some question in the comments section. Remember to Dream Lucid!
大家好, 我知道清醒夢好久沒有po影片,最近很多事在忙。
你們好嗎?希望大家都平安健康、沒有得到肺炎。
這個影片只是要讓人放鬆,沒有什麼太深的意思,也沒有什麼重點,單純就是一個FU而已。
我之後可能會用動畫的方式做一些我在台灣發生過的事,你會對怎麼樣的主題有興趣呢?記得留言!
休息是暫時的,但我也不確定什麼時候會回來。

Hello, I am umino.Thank you for watching this video.This description uses Google Translate.
This video also shows the face. I don't think everyone is interested in my face, but take a look. Guarantee that the sound is also good. The point is that it is so-so. Everyone would expect it if they said it was the best. I'm scared when I can't exceed my expectations if I make them expect too much. So we use the word so-so.
今回の動画も顔が映ってる。みんな私の顔には興味がないと思うが、見てやってくれ。音もまあまあいいことを保証する。まあまあという部分がポイントだ。最高にいいと言ってしまうとみんなが期待してしまうだろう。期待させすぎると期待を超えられなかった時が怖い。というわけでまあまあという言葉を使う。
People who don't understand Japanese can't understand what I'm talking about in this video. So I will explain it in the summary column.
日本語が分からない人はこの動画で私が喋っていることが全く理解できないと思う。なので概要欄の方で説明をします。
Anyway, I'm talking about my glasses getting cloudy. The glasses get cloudy due to the heat and humidity. The biggest reason is wearing a mask. You think you should take off your mask? No good. If I take off my mask, you will see a beard. Due to the lighting on the well-represented cameras, these guys make my face appear as it is. I can't forgive such a thing. What it is It's Anna and the Snow Queen. By the way, I've never seen Anna and the Snow Queen.
とにかく眼鏡が曇ることを喋っている。酷い暑さと湿度で眼鏡がとにかく曇る。マスクをしてるのが1番の原因だ。マスクを外せと思うだろう?ダメだ。マスクを外しては髭が見えてしまう。よく映るカメラに照明、こいつらのせいで私の顔がありのままに映し出されてしまう。そんなこと許せるはずがないだろう。何がありのままだ。アナと雪の女王かよ。因みに私はアナと雪の女王をちゃんと見たことがない。
He also said that you shouldn't look at the screen. If you don't know what you are doing, you may feel ASMR. I'm saying that. In short, focus on your ears only. Those who want to see the screen cannot stop it. But you're the one who can't keep your promise... I'm disappointed.
画面を見ない方がいいとも言ってる。何故かというと何をされてるか分からない方がASMRを感じることができるのではないか?ということだ。端的に言えば、耳だけに集中しなさいということだ。どうしても画面が見たい人は無理には止めない。ただ約束を守れない人だ…と私はガッカリするよ。
If you look at the screen, you can understand that you are rushing to use various things. Is it so difficult to make a sound while speaking something? I also have to look at the camera and check the recording equipment. It's a very difficult task. I'm thirsty because the temperature is high. He wanted water. If you dry your throat, you will feel alive. Like Manami on Yowamushi pedal.
色々な物を使おうとして焦ってることは画面を見ればなんとなく分かると思う。何かを喋りながら音を出すことがこんなにも難しいのか。更にカメラを見て、録音機器のチェックもしなければならない。非常に難しいタスクだ。気温が高いこともあって喉も渇く。彼は水を欲していたのだ。喉の乾きを潤せば生きている実感を得れる。弱虫ペダルの真波山岳くんのように。
He also mentioned that he changed his glasses from the previous video. Why did you change your glasses? There is no particular meaning. It makeover if by force say. The same will always be boring. I don't agree with that because I think it's great to stay the same. It's said that changing the glasses resembles an entertainer wearing these glasses. Only the glasses are similar. Isn't it my own glasses anymore? No, I want to deny it.
前回の動画から眼鏡を変えたことにも言及している。何故眼鏡を変えたかだって?特に意味はない。強いて言うならばイメージチェンジだ。ずっと同じはつまらないだろう。私は変わらないことが素晴らしいと思う派だから、それには賛同できないがね。眼鏡を変えたことでこういう眼鏡をかけている芸能人に似てると言われるだろう。眼鏡しか似てないのにだ。それはもう私自身が眼鏡ということではないのか?いやそれは否定しておきたい。
You can also see that he cares about his bangs. Everyone will be more wondering why they care so much. It's just like a young woman. Young Japanese women care especially about their bangs. Are you solidifying something! ? The bangs do not move to the extent that it is illusion. It's crazy. I call them professionals who continue to show their best. The only reason I care about my bangs is to hide that my forehead is wide.
前髪をしきりに気にしていることも分かるだろう。何故こんなに気にしているのか、みんなはもっと気になるだろう。それはもう若い女性と同じようなものだ。日本の若い女性は前髪を特に気にする。何かで固めているのか!?と錯覚する程に前髪が動かない。クレイジーだ。私は彼女らのことを最高の自分を見せ続けるプロフェッショナルと呼んでいる。私が前髪を気にした理由はデコが広いことを隠したいだけなんだけどね。
Good night.
おやすみの。おやすみ。

It's getting cooler these days in Taipei, so here comes a song with warm love.
With strong and sentimental theme, the song is dedicated to those been and are now in love regardless of all consequences.
I love you, meaning you inspire me. You are a horizon stretching over the ocean, where I have to swim for and a reminder of how far I can go. I love you meaning I want to go there with you.
Wait for someone whose kiss envelopes you like dawn stretching over the night sky.
One day there will be someone hugging you so tight that all of your broken pieces will stick back together. Wait for some one who will possess you like night and set you free like morning.
Enjoy the chords in your heart by the strings in my hands.
