My Personal Article

Yesterday was the graduation of the School of Theology students. It was also Rev Kong Hee's birthday. Celebration was great. Dr Alex Abraham came with his interpretor to share his personal testimony. There is great anointing in his testimony. I believe the people are blessed by it. I bought a book about educators from the attributes but i realise that a free copy of this book will be given out to all educators on Teacher's day. Oh dear! So i quickly went to exchange the book for something else. I changed it to Dr Robb Thompson book instead! 'Art of Distinction' was the title. He's my favourite speaker! Dr A.R. Bernard is also my favourite speaker too! Of course not forgetting Rev. Tan Ye Ping & Rev. Kong! Frankly, i don't cultivate the habit of reading since young. I only select books that have alot of pictures that appeal to me. But this time since i've wasted about $16 yesterday, i've to choose something that i feel it's worth my time & money. I'm not saying that the spiritual books are boring & meaningless, it's just that i seldom read! Thank God 'Art of Distinction' does appeal to me. Mind you...it's not the pictures as i previously mentioned. It is the things that he wrote which is so true & practical in my life. I've not really read yet. But i believe once i begin reading it, it may help me in my thinking & maximize my potential. I paid an extra of $22 over this book. So how much? Calculate yourself! Yes it's expensive but i feel it's worth & valuable. If a $38 book can change your life, investment is worth it. Because it can give me a promotion. So should i thank Rev. Robb Thompson for the future success? Yes partly but ultimately, it's Jesus. If there is no Jesus, i guess there will be no such book as 'Art of Distinction'. Haha...maybe 'Art of Destruction'!

Dr. Thompson has read your post in your blog and would like to meet you next time he comes and give you a free book... Hopefully we will see you next time we come to Singapore...
