THE PiANiST ANd LITtLE gIRL sTORY

A mother wished to encourage her small girl's interest in the piano and so took her a local concert featuring an excellent pianist. In the entrance foyer the mother met an old friend and the two stopped to talk. The little girl was keen to see inside the hall and so wandered off, unnoticed by her mother. The girl's mother became concerned when she entered the hall and could see no sign of her daughter. Staff were notified and an announcement was made asking the audience to look out for the little lost girl.

With the concert due to start, the little girl had still not been found. In preparation for the pianist's entrance, the curtains drew aside, to reveal the little girl sitting at the great piano, focused in concentration, quietly picking out the notes of 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'.

The audience's amusement turned to curiosity when the pianist entered the stage, walked up to the little girl, and said "Keep playing."

The pianist sat down beside her, listened for a few seconds, and whispered some more words of encouragement. He then began quietly to play a bass accompaniment, and then a few bars later reached around the little girl to add more accompaniment. At the end of the impromptu performance the audience applauded loudly as the pianist took the little girl back to her seat to be reunited with her mother. The experience was inspirational for everyone, not least the small girl.

It takes just a few moments to make somebody's day, to help someone with their own personal aims and dreams - especially someone who looks up to you for encouragement and support.

HUGE DIFFERENCE :)

The Boss drives his men, The Leader inspires them.

The Boss depends on authority, The Leader depends on goodwill.

The Boss evokes fear, The Leader radiates love.

The Boss says "I", The Leader says "We".

The Boss shows who is wrong, The Leader shows what is wrong.

The Boss knows how it is done, The Leader knows how to do it.

The Boss demands respect, The Leader commands respect.

So, Which one you wanna be? That's your choice. :)

Father: "I want you to marry a girl of my choice."
Son: "I will choose my own bride!"
Father: "But the girl is Bill Gate's daughter."
Son: "Well, in that case... ok"

Next Father approaches Bill Gates.
Father: "I have a husband for your daughter."
Bill Gates: "But my daughter is too young to marry!"
Father: "But this young man is vice-president of the World Bank."
Bill Gates: "Ah, in that case... ok"

Finally Father goes to see the president of the World Bank.
Father: "I have a young man to be recommended as your vice-president. "
President: "But I already have more vice-presidents than I need!"
Father: "But this young man is Bill Gate's son-in-law."
President: "Ah, in that case... ok"

This is how business is done!!

Moral of the story:
Even if you have nothing, you can get anything. But your attitude should be positive.

PROFIT TAKING???

Wow...After UP almost 400 pts, will there be any profit taking? Absolutely...12,700 is just a matter of time..... I believe today Dow might even close high at the end of the day..... Hopefully it can break 12,700 today. :P

The only thing we need to worry is China SSE index. Technically, it doesn't look good at all.... testing 3,000 mark is highly possible before rebound.... today it closed at 3,347. Will it affect China stocks listed in SGX? :)

However, SB still believes there are many undervalue counters around after the recent sell off. Hopefully you all can make use of this opportunity to make $$.

Huat Arh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STI CLOSED HIGH TODAY TO WELCOME FIRST DAY OF 2ND QUARTER

GO GO GO GO DOW WILL BREAK 12,700. If it really happens, this will be the day of rally. Hopefully my analysis is correct. I am waiting for it.

Huat huat huat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch Mercator ($0.315), I believe it can go up anytime to $0.50. :)
