Religion is not for those who are strong


I had written the following story before:

.......................38歲那年往中東旅遊,見到不少寺院因多次宗教戰爭而多次易轉身分,感慨之餘,也深明政教分離的重要。上西乃山的那天,正是自己的生日,凌晨2時起上山觀日出,中間小休回氣的時候,回頭見到抱病的團友巴蓮達騎駱駝經過,望她的背影,突然心有體會。宗教,其實只是一種工具,上山的路或許只得一條,但每個人都可用不同的方法,有些人選擇騎駱駝上山,筆者選擇了靠自己的能力。巴蓮達卻沒有告訴我,她的方法才是真理。........................

Today when I was packing my stuff, I found the article attached above:

Wisdom from Warren Buffett


"Just because everyone else said that you are right, it doesn't necessarily mean you are right; just because everyone else said that you are wrong, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are wrong."

The conclusion? Keep an open mind and listen to other's opinion, but make your own decision!

In the last 1/2 Century, Christian may have become the minority, just as the Bible had predicted. But don't worry, all those non believers will just go to hell, haha...

The five most expensive words in investment


"This time it is different".

This article was written by me in 1997, BEFORE the real estae crash in Hong Kong. But of course, that doesn't mean my permissism on US real estate market is right :-)

The sign is everywhere




In the past ten years, with help from rising real estate price, US consumers use home equity (account for 48% of US household wealth) to increase consumer spending.

With saving rate near 0%, many experts are worry that even a 5% drop in housing price in 2007 may trigger a US (or even global) recession.

The sign is everywhere!
