5. how do we get rid of you?
- tony benn

stats don't reflect the truth, it merely supports the presumption

只有锐不可挡不可失势于人

SHORTCUTS TO SUCCESS IN LIFE...
PLAN while others are playing;
DECIDE while others are delaying;
PREPARE while others are daydreaming;
BEGIN while others are procastinating;
WORK hard while others are wishing;
SAVE while others are wasting;
LISTEN while others are talking;
SMILE while others are frowning;
COMMEND while others are criticizing;
PERSIST while others are quitting.
- lil' sis's broker's daily report

voilÃ ! in view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villian by the vicissitudes of Fate.
this visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi,
now vacant, vanished; a vital voice once venerated, now vilified. however, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation now stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violent, vicious, and voracious violation of volition.
the only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta, held as votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and virtuous. yet verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very great honor to meet you, and you may call me V.
- V for Vendetta

strive not to be a success but rather to be of value.
- friend say one

he who hesitates... is lost; he who anyhow cheong... is dead.

欲求而不達
無求則自達

一直堅守的一份執著... 是我錯了嗎?

shall one think about the undoable, or do the unthinkable?

[圖富貴]
眾人皆睡我獨醒
桌上工作一大堆
何日賺得百萬両
享享榮華和富貴

would you rather have it and then lose it in the end, or not having it in the first place?
