There's an old piano in the hotel lobby I cannot resist playing. It takes only 3 jazz chords to bluff others that I play jazz but after a few minutes, its no longer about my self consciousness, I was really enjoying myself and nobody else cared. It just made sense to play regardless of who is listening.

We often think that people think about us more than its true. Yes, people are initially curious what we are doing. After that, they have better things to think about than dwelling on us. It is just so important we know that to overcome the first fear and get about doing things that we should do especially if its right that God intend us to do.

Lately i was reminded that investing in people seems like the ultimate right to do. Last night after Mei Si's class, she responded to my request to help me throw some rubbish I was holding in my hand. I couldn't resists to ask her if that act of helping me felt good. She nodded readily and added to tell me about the last time she and Chern Han her little brother helped to keep things away in the house and it felt good.

If it feels good to children and children's feelings is as genuine as it gets, it should feel good to adults too. It makes sense to help, give and invest in others.
