"Why in moments of crisis do we ask God for strength and help? As cognitive beings, why would we ask something that may well be a figment of our imaginations for guidance? Why not search inside ourselves for the power to overcome? After all, we are strong enough to cause most of the catastrophes we need to endure." - Bill Schell

When my brother-in-law got to the airport, he found that he was 20kg overweight so he had to offload 12kg and repack 3kg of stuff.

This despite my having a weighing scale at home.

As I told him even before he did his packing: "You must do things the smart way, not the Hwa way."
