I just received a phone call from my credit card company and was informed that this card has been selected for a promotional program, with certain benefits if I spend x amounts within a given period.

This makes me really wonder if this particular credit card company is utilising its resources correctly??
According to a recent survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Melbourne is once again one of the most livable cities in the world.

Emerging from a long-weekend here in Singapore due to Hari Raya Haji (a celebration of the conclusion of the Haj pilgrimage to Meccaa by devout Muslims), two quotes to start off this shortened week:
“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question,’Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I work in the research line, so very often when a crazy thought comes into my head, it is very natural to be very critical and think of reasons why something can’t work. Perhaps it is fruitful to sometimes just “dream” and stretch the imagination!?
“Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”
