Life is Beautiful

My Latest Music Video is Out!

My latest music video titled "Life is Beautiful" is now on my YouTube channel. Please check it out.:)

Mindset Change

In recent months, I've learnt to see life from a different perspective after hearing Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi talk about mindset change. I've learnt (and am still learning) to watch my thoughts and and see things from a long-term perspective.

No matter how ingrained our thought patterns have been, we could still change them if they do not serve us or are destructive in any way. And all it takes is to decide to change and then stay the course.

Mastering Our Minds

I'm now more and more convinced about the importance of mastering my mind (or my thought life) in order to achieve or get whatever I want in life. As a well-known French philosopher, Rene Descartes had said, "I think, therefore I am" and so it's of crucial importance that we zealously guard our minds.  

In the past, I had the tendency to think about how unfair life was. And as a result, I experienced many more unfair situations. So yes, I think, therefore I am. 

Life is Beautiful

In recent days, there has been news on local TV about the passing of several young and relatively young people. And looking at how their lives have been cut short, I'm thankful that I'm still alive. Thankful that I could still make my life count because I'm alive. Thankful that I could still make my dreams a reality because I'm alive. Thankful that I still have a chance at life. 

So, I think life is beautiful despite the challenges and the bad stuff. Life is beautiful simply because I've not breathed my last.

Making Our Lives Beautiful

The fact that we're still alive means that we still have the chance to make our lives beautiful, no matter how much ugliness there was in our past. We can't change the past and we certainly can't erase the the ugliness of our past (whether it's due to our own faults or the faults of others). But so long as we're still breathing, we have the choice to make our lives beautiful. 

Just start changing our thoughts, and our lives will change for the better over time. 


Cheers,

Is Euthanasia the Only Way Out for Your Dog with Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD)?

Image
Definition of Animal Euthanasia Animal euthanasia is the act of killing an animal humanely, most commonly with injectable drugs. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_euthanasia ) It's  a method of killing that minimises pain, distress, and anxiety experienced by the animal before the loss of consciousness. ( https://www.msdvetmanual.com/clinical-pathology-and-procedures/euthanasia/euthanasia-of-animals ) How Does Animal Euthanasia Work? Animal euthanasia is typically a two-step process involving two injections to make it painless and stress-free for the animal that is being euthanised.

A calming sedative is given followed by a vein injection. As the anaesthesia takes effect, it overwhelms the brain and shuts it down, quickening breathing and breathing stops within 30 seconds.

Do You Eat Dog Meat?

Image
  Around early 2022, I watched a video of a big dog being forced by a man to go up to a truck. The man was apparently a dog meat trader in a certain part of China. He was using a sharp tool to grip the dog’s neck, which obviously caused it pain and made it fearful as could be seen from its expression. There were other dogs on the truck. It was a sad sight to behold. There were quite a lot of onlookers around. I was shocked that none of them intervened. I knew it could get them into trouble with the dog meat trader if they were to intervene. But if some of them had stepped forward to help the poor dog, it was very likely to be saved. Surely they could buy it or at least call an animal shelter? How could they be so indifferent to the way the dog meat trader handle it? Dogs aren’t poultry. They are supposed to be pets doted by humans, not killed and eaten as food, isn’t it? Moreover, dogs are said to be very loyal. So how could anyone have the heart to kill and consume them? Okay, I k
