A very warm welcome here,
Today I decided to share with you with an unknown author, Mr Wang Tew Jit, or Albert as he is known, who has began to make waves within the mental health community in Malaysia LATE LAST YEAR.
In this connection, we should welcome this book as it arrived in time of uncertainties, which you may have read or heard from media all over the world. I strongly believe that this book will help people change their mindsets on how they view adversity in times of depression and on people suffering from depression, to some extent. This is the author's main intention, similar to the objective of this blog.
I hope that this book can also be used to address the high suicide rate in Malaysia, in particular and the whole world at large. Our official suicide rate, just recently released, is 2 persons a day on average. That statistics evidently reflects the seriousness of this issue and it needs to be addressed immediately. As such, this great challenging issue should be tackled promptly by allocating more funds to attract more talented people to join in, which is also in line with the government's effort of developing Human Capital. Our resources should not be overly spent on mega projects, but more on developing Human Capital, which is the main pillar towards achieving developed country status.
I find that I share the same values as the author of the book, The Colour of My Mind. We can shift the paradigm of our mindsets and view what so ever adversity in a positive perspective. Believe me, this temporary setback is placed to direct you toward the success, you dreamed of, as it helps to eliminate the wrong paths that you have taken. As such, you and I should be happy to accept it with pride and not let it lead to depression or suicide. This proven success formula was discovered by Mr. Thomas Edison, which you and I should accept.

In order for you to obtain the first hand's information, I suggest that you get hold of this book and find out from the author yourself. Please do share with us your findings. Thank you in advance for your kind participation. There is no surprise that the book, The Colour of My Mind, has almost sold out its initial print-run of 3.000 copies. Don't worry because another 5,000 copies are being prepared and can be purchased at Popular, Canaan Land and Glad Sounds book stores. Alternatively, you may seek more information by visiting thecolourofmymind.com.
To shed some light of this author's background, I decided to give you a quick brief on him. He began to encounter major depression in his varsity era in Canada. Back home to Malaysia for his medical follow-ups, it was reported that his depression was apparently part of a larger, more serious, diagnosis medically described as schizophrenia.
Today, Albert feels brighter and better. His self esteem is much higher and his story has been written in full in this book. As the Chinese proverb says "To know the road ahead, ask those who are coming back." I believe you know what I mean here. Enjoy your discovery.

Last but not least, I write to thank Mr. Christopher Fernandez, who has painstakingly written the article "Victory over depression", published in the Star dated March 6, 2011 which is the driving force for me to write this enlightening story in my blog so as to inspire YOU, the main pillar of this blog.
Trust you enjoy this inspiring article and also the above book. Please revert to us your valuable feedback on how we can improve further to serve you better.
