A MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION

To my dearest readers and visitors,

I must admit that I was so exited to share with you about this powerful statement made by from William James, one of the most distinguished psychologist and philosopher America has ever produced:-


Compared with what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. Broadly speaking, the human individual thus lives far within his limits. He possesses powers of various sorts which he habitually fails to use.

This statement is not strange in the sphere of science, which some of you may aware of. It is also in line with other beliefs that there is a sleeping giant inside everyone of us. For anyone who desire to achieve an extraordinarily result, he has to wake the sleeping giant within himself.

So, the million dollars question for the day is how to wake up this sleeping giant inside everyone of us?

Think about it deeply, I suggest that you forward your answers through comments so that everyone of us can work through it and I will provide mine through the following post of mine.

Look forward to hearing from you,

BRIDGE ... AMAZING AND UNIQUE 8

Dear loving readers,

This will be my last post on bridge this year. However, you are always welcome to view it at any time convenient to you. Thanks for your support.

In this article, I am going to present you another amazing bridge, which is none other than:-

Hegigio Gorge Pipeline Bridge , Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea




This bridge supports two pipelines - one gas and the other oil - across the extremely deep gap in Papua New Guinea . If this were to be officially recognized as a vehicular or pedestrian bridge, then it would rocket to the top of the 'world's highest bridge-span' with the pipelines at an impressive height of 1,290 ft above the bottom of the gorge..... By comparison, the current highest bridge span belongs to the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, hanging a mere 1,053 ft above ground level.

This bridge has created another spectacular records for the highest bridge in the world. No doubt, its purpose is very different from others. But, it is not wrong to be categorized it as  a bridge. It reminds us that nothing is impossible, so long you have the will and determination. So, why limit your boundary?

You should set your own record and stress yourself to the maximum so as to leave a good legacy - like the above bridge. In life, it is always good to begin with a big dream. Do all your best to move towards your pre-set goals. Prepare to pay a heavy price while you are in the process of achieving it, so that you wouldn't be caught by surprise.

Life is short, so dream Big. Whether you achieve it or not is a totally different issue. At least, you have tried it. You shall be rest assured that you will have the satisfaction. On the other hand, you may be condemned by the whole world. Have you not heard of Noah the Arch?

BRIDGE ... AMAZING AND UNIQUE 7

Dear loving readers,


Your support and encouragement drive me to present you another amazing bridge from France, which is :-


Pont Gustave Flaubert, Rouen, France







This incredible vertical lift bridge is in Rouen , France, whose spans weigh 1,200 tons each but can be hoisted 180 ft vertically in an impressive 12 minutes. The angular lift structures at the top of each tower weigh 450 tons each. The huge vertical lift allows even the largest cruise liners to sail through.


It sounds ridiculous and works well till today. It suggests that there is a will, there is a way. With the encouragement and determination, nothing can stop it from being done. So, next time when you face any barrier, never quit or bargain about it. But just do it at all costs and without any complaint. At the end of the day, you will be just like the above bridge - shining on its own glory.


Trust it will inspire you further and bridge you to the greatest height of success. You are the captain of your mind and soul.

Dear loving readers,


It is my utmost pleasure to present you another amazing bridge from Singapore, so promised.


Henderson Waves, Southern Ridges, Singapore









'Henderson Waves' is Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge and is at the 'Southern Ridges,' a beautiful 9 km (six miles) stretch of gardens and parks. The deck of the bridge is made from thousands of Balau wood slabs, perfectly cut and arranged, and along the length of the deck a snake like, undulating shell forms sheltered seating areas on every upward curve.




It is truly another masterpiece from its builders. The glory of this bridge remind us that to produce a master piece, a builder need to pay attention to each and every detail of its work. This requires far more than hard work, it is also need passion, diligence and endurance from its builder, so as to speak. Then only will its result be able to stand out.


Always remember that to deliver a masterpiece, one needs far more than hard work.You need to develop the passion toward the job you are undertaking and have the required patience and endurance to go through the paintaking process. There is no short cut in delivering such a remarkable result and this has been well proven in life.


To achieve such a greater success in today competitive world's market, the person needs to be different, not only be creative, but also have the courage to take bold step to do it in an extraordinarily way. Normally in the process lots of criticism and condemnation from others, will be received prior to its success. So, be prepared if you are making such a move.


Thanks for your precious time and trust that the above bridge leads you to a path of greater success.
