The world is just awesome
The problems of the world seem so large. Terrorists, pollution, global warming, religious conflict, racism, human rights, the global financial crisis and the list goes on. But, before we get too carried away and overwhelmed by the grandness of such issues, I think it’s time we find out the fundamental reasons for such problems to exist in the first place.
It’s all about us.
The environment
The question is not why China produces so much carbon dioxide, it is how we as individuals reduce our carbon footprint by driving less, and buy less (even it is Chinese New Year)
The people
It’s not about the ongoing conflicts with races, religion, discrimination and war. Its about overcoming the ongoing conflicts of our own life and accept the difference in other people.
… and their health
It’s not about the rising costs of healthcare and healthcare reform which the Republicans and Democrats are fighting over. Its about us being health conscious and exercise as much as we can to stay fit and healthy.

I have come across many people during my tenure at Machines (the Mac shop) and Fitness First. Some turns my good mood 180 degrees upside down with the most unreasonable and intimidating demands while some cheers me up, not because they bought a product or helped me reached my work goal; but with respect and non arrogance with a touch of humour.
It takes that little effort to brighten up somebody elses day (and completely screw it). Just smile. You can’t help others smile when you’re frowning.
It starts from us, one person.
While pointing fingers at other people seem to be the most convenient and the most common way to address the problem, it is more productive to turn our attention inward and overcome our challenges amongst other issues. Only when we finally live a conscious life full of love, peace and understanding are we in a position for others to follow.
Remarks :
Rising costs of healthcare does affect members of the public whom require medical assistance due to sickness, injuries and other issues. The author is representing the idea of a healthy lifestyle which relates to the blog entry.

A smile a day keeps all our troubles away? I believe in this, but more so in all of us practising it.
Thanks for continuing to inspire us, mate!
I was just giving my two cents worth.. I feel that we sometimes get upset over things not worthwhile.
