Love moves in mysterious way

Who'd have thought this is how the pieces fit
You and I shouldn't even try making sense of it
I forgot how we ever came this far
I believe we had reasons but I don't know what they are
Don't blame it on my heart, oh

Cho:
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

Heaven knows love is just a chance we take
We make plans but then love demands a leap of faith
So hold me close and never never let me go
'Cos even though we think we know which way the river flows
That's not the way love goes, no

Cho:
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

Like the ticking of a clock two hearts beat as one
But I'll never understand the way it's done, oh

Cho:
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

But i believe.....

Follow my Dream, but which one?

That is the essence of the new book by Paulo Coelho entitled The Winner Stands Alone. It will soon be released in March but it is already available online for all readers all over the world. What does Paulo said about his new book?

"One of the recurrent themes of my books is the importance of paying the price of your dreams. But to what extent can our dreams be manipulated? For the past decades, we lived in a culture that privileged fame, money, power – and most of the people were led to believe that these were the real values that we should pursue".

"Yes, you may reach the goal society has fed you – but will you be satisfied? Will you be whole? Will you be in peace? This cycle of possession never ends – because the moment that you think that you have reached your goal another desire creeps in. And how can you find rest when it is the hunt that moves you?"

"....We are part of the solution, if we go back to the real values of life, being “follow your dream” the most important of all. Not the dreams of the Superclass. Not the dreams of our parents, or our partners. We should be what we always wanted to be".

You can read Paulo's full comments on his new book here

I have always been telling myself to follow my dream and pay the price of this dream. Prayer sets in almost everyday, if not in a form of a dialogue, always in a form of monologue conversation with...i guess, my own soul. Years of reading books by succesful people like Napoleon Hill, Robert Kiyosaki and Paulo himself feeds me the same pattern of how to fulfill dreams. I'm working on it or maybe i thought i'm working on it. Lately i question whether my pursuit of happiness is the right dream or am i working myself in conformance with the society which are, and always will be, fame, money and power? Maybe i'm not but will my desire be eaten as such? Definitely looking forward to reading this new book. Fiction yet based on real issues which i believe will give it a new perspective.

- a book does not change a person, but it provokes thoughts and action -

That's it, I had enough!

I wish i can say that to my boss but who will pay my salary after that? I am sooo bored here in Sandakan..oh i know, i can resign from my job and be jobless for a period of time. What would it feels like hmmmm...My parents will be furious but that's if i stay with them. If i stay by myself, then it would pretty much cost me some $$ right..If i stay with friends, they would run away from me ahah..What if i go to NZ and work my butt off the way i can't even imagined or maybe it will turn out to be something good. God please help me! Give me your strong sign i mean strong sign that i should leave, Amen.

There you go, i posted something...lol ;-p
