Who Doesn't Have Problem?

Whether you live in a palace or a hut, you will face problems. It is part and parcel of life. Some people just have a knack to hide or deal with their problems better.

Guess you could add "problems" to the usual list of certainties in life: taxes, aging and death. It is not meant to be morbid, but to provide you with a balance perspective that people everywhere faces the same basic issues as you do regardless of culture, language, religion, politics or nationality.

Besides being a realist, one of the best way to contend with problems is to look at the bright side of life by choosing a positive disposition while facing the stark reality of having to keep your balance as you ride your bicycle or keep flying your plane across your Atlantic ocean.

Yes, you are just one thought away to stay happy in the game of life and keep playing. Take a breather or go for a walk if you need to, but never give up on tackling the challenges that you face.

Pace yourself with positivity and you will live to keep fighting for sunshine to come through every day.

Mascot for Covid-19

If there is a call for mascots to represent our fight against Covid-19, I would not hesitate to nominate the following robot which was stationed strategically next to the entrance of a childcare centre.

From the looks of it, we are reminded to:

a) Do the fist bump rather than shake hand; and

b) Wear our mask responsibly.

Thumbs up to the management of the childcare centre if this is the intended message.

SevenFriday (7F)

A SevenFriday watch holds strong appeal to a growing tribe of followers. The story behind the name of 7F is an inspiring concept which reinforces that there is more to it than a uniquely engineered timepiece.

As gleaned from its website, "SEVENFRIDAY is a global lifestyle brand that creates industrial inspired watches, eyewear, apparel and accessories for individuals around the world who live everyday like it’s Friday

Pushing and challenging the norms within the industry according to our own beliefs, dreams and experiences, SEVENFRIDAY is a Life attitude

‘Show me don’t Tell Me’ is our brand tagline: emotional instead of rational, action instead of words, creativity instead of unquestioned standards

Join the community and share the #liveSEVENFRIDAY attitude!"

Click here to visit 7F.

My take is that we will be buying wrist watches still such as 7F. While our mobile phones can tell time, they can't show us how to lay hold on an attitude and live by it moment by moment, which that 'wristband' reminds us in our face whenever we check in.

Tokidoki is Up and Coming Globally

Passion has its rewards. Never despise the days of small beginning. If you or your child like to draw figurines, go for it. You can go far as with Charles M. Schulz's Snoopy and Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse.

There is no lack of ideas or creativity. As you assimilate new experiences, you will be inspired to make that which is your own. Dream big; do not limit yourselves.

Sometimes all it takes is a new spin to blow your mind with what human beings can create. 

Today is a great day to get acquainted with tokidoki which means sometimes in Japanese, literally.

While inspired by Japanese culture such as anime, tokidoki was co-founded by Simone Legno who was born in Rome, Italy.

By the way, itsumo is the Japanese word for always. Any takers?

Nebula - Interstellar Cloud

We live in a colourful world. 

If you have ever wondered whether you can see clouds beyond different shades of white and grey, things are looking up for you.

According to Wikipedia, "A nebula (Latin for 'cloud' or 'fog'; pl. nebulae, nebulæ or nebulas) is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases. Originally, the term was used to describe any diffused astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy, for instance, was once referred to as the Andromeda Nebula (and spiral galaxies in general as "spiral nebulae") before the true nature of galaxies was confirmed in the early 20th century by Vesto Slipher, Edwin Hubble and others."

Here is sample of nebulas to add colours to your insights of the magnificence of God's creation:-
