Thoughts and Quotes of an Unknown Singaporean. Vol I

Thank You

I like to thank my best friend HTR Seetha, my communication skills guru Zafar H and my wife Mageswari J for their moral support and encouragement throughout this journey of making this first book of mine a reality, especially my best friend Seetha who would keep on reminding me about my goals in life and about getting this first step of writing and publishing my this first book. Her big support and encouragement since I mooted the idea to her till I finished the final draft of this book was the biggest morale booster for me. Thank you buddy.

I like to also thank my long time friend and owner of the translation company Half-X, Wendy who helped me to edit this book and get it published as an e-book.

Introduction

"agara muthala ezhuththellaam aathi

bagavan mudhatrae ulagu"

~Thirukkural 1:1

Translation:A , as its first of letters, every speech maintains, the Primal Deity is first through all the world’s domains.

~ Thirukkul Isaith Thamizh mobile app

As in the above Thirukkural verse written by the great Indian sage Thiruvalluval more than 2000 years ago, there are thousands and thousands of thoughts and quotes by celebrities and famous personalities that we are familiar with and look up to. Those reads combined with the hard knocks I went through in life to date and what I saw and heard formed as thoughts and quotes that flowed through my hands to my social media wall posts. I wanted to register them so that I can refer to them again and again. It was also to share them with my social media friends for their thoughts and to serve as potential inspirations for them. Some may agree and some may not, but these thoughts are acknowledged. Now I like to share these compiled thoughts and quotes of mine beyond my circle. I hope the outreach of these thought and quotes through this book inspires more especially those in need of such points to ponder or food for their thoughts.

May the vision be with us.

In 2005, when Mr Zafar (my communications guru) and I setup and ran a training and development company called Team Vision we wanted to motivate and spur each other up with positive vibes. That was when we created a signature way to great each other and at the same time remind and motivate each other
