MARITIME STUDIES

Yesterday I joined the webinar on the two ships from China, Guang Hua and Ming Hua. Dr Taomo Zhou from NTU ang nagpresent. Nakuwangan kos webinar actually. Coz lain lang ang akong pangagpas sa China's changing maritime power in Shenzhen. But at least I learned something new yesterday - the Yiwu-Madrid Rail line as part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). I know NUS has a Center for Maritime Studies. I had wanted to affiliate with them back in 2005-2006. All the best to us always!

Fresh Pick

A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson
(as quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

--The Power of Focus, 2000, by Canfield, Hansen and Hewitt, p. 159
