FROM DILIP MUKERJEA

"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

Interestingly, I have found this fascinating ''Ah Beng'' version of Stephen R Covey's '7 Habits of Highly Effective People'.

For the uninitiated:
'Ah Beng' signifies an unsophisticated Singaporean Chinese boy, usually Hokkien.
Stereotypically, he speaks the gutter Hokkien dialect and likes neon-coloured clothes, spiky, moussed hair and accessories such as handphones or pagers, all of which are conspicuously displayed.
He also likes to squat, even when a seat is available.
"Wah lao eh, why you so chao ah beng one?" (Goodness, why are you such an obnoxious Ah Beng?)
