A trainer from Canada was talking about the importance of social entrepreneurship and highlighted it by saying: “In the USA, if there is a community problem that needs fixing, the people get together to attack the problem. In Canada, they say, ‘Let’s write a grant proposal to the government.’”
After a short snicker from the audience, a Singaporean participant chimed in, “In Singapore, we ask what the government is going to do about it!”
So sad, so true …

Hi,
I like your blog for the honest and down to earth conversational style of writing. I fully agree with you that the internet is so full of BS that many of the readers are overwhelmed by the shear volume of information.(misinformation)
It is harder now to separate the chaff from the grain. The truth from the myth.
Sadly most people are not taking charge of their lives nowadays. They are so taken up by the advertisement in the media that they don`t know how to make their own decisions. They surrender their lives to the doctors and the drug companies believing whatever BS are presented to them.
With so much so called advanced in medical science, research and improved new drugs how is it more and more people are suffering and dying from the same old diseases like diabetes, cancers, heart diseases just to name a few.
It is high time we wake up to the the startling truth that the doctors and the drug companies have their own agenda to line their deep pockets. Can you imagine what will happen to their businesses when there are less sick people?
Wake up “People” take charge of your own health! Go the natural way. Ask yourself – Where do the wild animals (not the domesticated) go when they fall sick? email me if you want to know the answer: franklee3@gmail.com
I will definitely visit your blog regually by subscribing to the RSS feed. I guess we are on the same wavelength.
Happy Blogging And Stay Healthy !
