Inspiring facts from 911 attacks... 10 years ago. 7. One company lost two thirds of its workforceGlobal financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald was the worst business affected by the 9/11 attacks. Unfortunately, its New York headquarters based on the 101st and 105th floors at One World Trade Center lost 658 out its 960-strong workforce – which amounted to two third of its total NYC staff. After the tragedy hit, CEO Howard Lutnick called a colleague and said: “We could shut the firm and attend our friends' funerals, or we're going to work harder than we've ever worked before to help their families.” And that’s exactly what they did. Ten years later, Cantor Fitzgerald has handed out more than $180 million (£109 million) to the families of the deceased staff and has fulfilled its promise to pay their health care.

I am getting increasingly sick to see post on FB and twitter about how bad our goverment was.
Personally I think these people has nothing else to do that's why they invest themselves in writing such post about the negativity of our goverment.
Seriously I don't think running a country is that easy. If it is why don't they become the goverment themselves instead of just hiding behind the scene and writing anti goverment post?
Are we living on the street now? Are we not having our 3 meals a day? and having dessert after meals? more than enough to eat... Having a career? Having public transport to go from one place to another? (although i grumble at times over the overcrowded buses and MRT but at least we are not hanging in te air) Iphone for everyone? Education for the students? and many much more...
Does this people see that there is much more to life than just cursing our goverment?
There are a few things to look into besides anti goverment.

Come again Lord, wash over me
Come again Lord, restore new passion to me
As I down on my knees and I praying it please
Restore new passion to me...
Lord I cry out, I need You now
More than ever before
My heart longs for You, Your love what I crave
It's You I adore
So I reach out to Heaven
With my arms open wide
Come and fill me again
Lord renew me inside
I think... the best thing to do to forget about one's struggle is to help others.
Help one old lady to withdrawn money today and it just makes me happy.
As simple as that....
Lord I need more opportunity to be a helping hand...

In this busy world I think I have really forgot to stop by and smell the flower.
I'm sorry that till this very last minute, I still can't be with you. I can't fufill what I say I will do. I can't get to know u more. I am just a conservative asian afterall.
It's hurts me to think of the good times. I can just hide behind and pray that there will be no pain for u. I'm sorry and maybe one day I can say I <3 you. But not now... I choose to be a coward. May your goodbye be peaceful and fearless. Remembering u in my heart in this busy world.

Beautiful song from a faithful God. Verse 1: Like the sun that rises everyday, You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful. Like the rain that You send, And every breath that I breathe, You are so faithful, Lord Verse 2: Like the rose that comes alive every spring, You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful. Like the life that You give, to every beat of my heart, You are so faithful, Lord. PreChorus: I see the cross and the price You had to pay, I see the blood that washed my sins away. Chorus: In the midst of the storm through the wind and the waves, You'll still be faithful, You'll still be faithful, When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more, You'll still be faithful, You'll still be faithful, Lord.
