People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within. -Ramona L. Anderson

Memorial Day is May 25th. Here is a poem honoring this impending National Holiday...
In 1915, Moina Michael penned a poem ("We Shall Keep the Faith") honoring the fallen soldiers remembered on Memorial Day:
"And now the Torch and Poppy red
We wear in honour of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields."

WINNERS versus LOSERS
The winner is always part of the answer;
The loser is always part of the problem.
The winner always has a program;
The loser always has an excuse.
The winner says "Let me do it for you";
The loser says " Thats not my job."
The winner sees an answer for every problem;
The loser sees a problem for every answer.
The winner says "It may be difficult but it is possible.";
The loser says "It may be possible but it is too difficult."
When a winner makes a mistake, he says, "I was wrong";
When a loser makes a mistake, he says, "It wasnt my fault."
A winner makes commitments;
A loser makes promises.
Winners have dreams;
Losers have schemes.
Winners say, "I must do something.";
Losers say, "Something must be done."
Winners are a part of the team;
Losers are apart from the team.
Winners see the gain;
Losers see the pain.
Winners see possibilities;
Losers see problems.
Winners believe in win/win;
Losers believe for them to win someone has to lose.
Winners see the potential;
Losers see the past.
Winners are like a thermostat;
Losers are like thermometeres.
Winners choose what they say;
Losers say what they choose.
Winners use hard arguments but soft words;
Losers use soft arguments bt hard words.
Winners stand firm on values but compromise on petty things;
Losers stand firm on petty things but compromise on values.
Winners follow the policy of empathy: "Dont do to others which you would not want them to do to you";
Losers follow the philosophy, "Do it to others before they do it to you".
Winners make it happen;
Losers let it happen.
Winners plan and prepare to win;
The key word is preparation

Dear Tim, Thanks for inviting me to be in your friends' list. I will be leaving Singapore soon, for Japan and will be there for more than a month on this trip. If you have any news or ideas to share, I will be more than happy to receive them for I will try to access my emails and other websites occasionally. If you oversee HR for Japan, you can also send me your questions and if I can be of help, I will be happy to share my working knowledge of Japan's HR Labour Laws and practices.

For tough times some inspiration - Churchill 1941 - Harrow School - Supposedly Speaking on Success
As the story goes... the school members were sitting in anxious anticipation... there is a great sense of awe and drama as Churchill strolled into the auditorium... he approaches the center of the stage... purposefully removes his bowler hat... props his cane against the lectern... pauses.... gazes for some time at the hushed assembly... and finally says...
Success... "Never give in. [pauses] Never give in. [pauses] Never, never, never - on nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in, except to the convictions of your own honor and good sense."
He then replaces his hat... picks up his cane and leaves the stage!
Credited as one of his shortest and perhaps one of his most powerful speeches... apt for now perhaps

Hi Tim,
We do have long winters, but the summers make up for them! Good to hear from fellow Buffalo natives.
