I wrote several times about playing RPG in the past, because I feel that there are similar traits between those two: You have attributes, i.e. intelligence, agility, strength, etc. You have missions to accomplish.

The higher your level, the harder for you to accumulate experience. Being in a group will help you to grow more, with guidance […]

some of the simple things which are inspiring
Untitled (Pt. 2)
continuing from previous post.. I went back to my hometown for celebrating Lunar New Year with my family on 3rd week of Jan and the holiday is going to end soon. I will be back to Singapore tomorrow and will be back to work on Thursday. Mostly I spent my times with my family (of course) and my friends in between. It brings all the memory that we had at school back. We had been graduated 8 years ago and a […]

The more you give yourself, the more respect you’ll get from others. Most of the times by doing this, we will burn ourselves out easily.

Tell your story
Regardless how awesome you are, share the joy with other about who you are and what you do! You never know that by sharing those, you may inspire someone. For your inspiration this weekend, I’d like to share a TED video by a National Geographic war photographer, James Nachtwey.
