insider trading and fiduciary duty

i really dun care about insider trading and fiduciary duty anymore. seriously. i mean. yeah. stupid ppl who go on their own information to make heaps of profit.. but then how would i even imagine that writing 800 words abt it is so hard?mayb cuz ive been procrastinating and wasting my time doing this when i should b studying my other coml as this might not even be worth anything. and just a complete waste of my time. but in hope that it'll still b worth it. silly. i knw.

anyway, should have gone to uni. my lazy arse just wanted to sit at home and try to do thing. if i had gone, guess i would have at least read a few articles by now. sighh. mayb i should go still. never too late as the lib only closes at 10. hmm..mayb. just mayb. but i guess have to finish this one 1st as i dun want to go on the comps in uni anyway. as it eats all my money :$ esp when i have abundant supply free here

16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be conceited. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ?Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.? 20 To the contrary, ?if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.? 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:16-21

work it out

Had any conflict at your house this week? Be honest. Maybe it was one of those he-said-she-said things. First came the noise of quarreling, then even worse?the deafening silence. Do you know what I mean? So much of the pain in life flows from relational conflict. We think it'll go away if we just sweep it under the rug or flip some pages on the calendar, but we can't avoid it?so we need to resolve it!

God is all about his children living in peace. Romans 12:16-21 outlines seven steps to put conflict to rest. Paul wrote:

? Be aggressive. Be of the same mind toward one another (v.16). If you're not on good terms with somebody, go to him or her and work it out immediately.

? Be humble.Do not be haughty in mind. Do not be wise in your own estimation (v.16). Want a quick end to your conflict? Never allow yourself to be too proud to listen to the other person.

? Be positive.Never pay back evil for evil. Respect what is right in the sight of all (v.17). Fight fair! Focus on the others' strengths, not their weaknesses.

? Be peaceable. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with everyone (v.18). Cut through all the pride and say, ?I want to work this out.? Seek peace.

? Be forgiving. Never take your own revenge (v.19). Forgiveness is moving from ?You owe me? to ?You owe me nothing.? There are no enduring relationships without forgiveness. Forgiveness is the choice to release others from the obligation that resulted when they hurt you. Initiate reconciliation and look for good results.

? Be provocative. If your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head (v.20). In other words, wow them with sincere kindness!

? Be strong. ?Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good? (v.21). When we let God download these seven things into our lives, a lot of great things will happen in our relationships. ?James MacDonald walkintheword.com

seeking: Father, what do these verses teach me about you? How have you called me to change?

responding: Which of the above seven steps do I need to focus on in resolving conflict? ? Which one do I do well? Which one is a struggle?

Father, thank you for such a clear peace plan in Romans 12. Help me to know, God, that the real healing and joy comes to me when I do what your Word says. Overcome my will with your grace, and create the desire in me to take these steps of obedience with those you have called me to love.

33 When they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. 34 And Jesus said, ?Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.? And they cast lots to divide his garments. 35 And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, ?He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!? Luke 23:33-35

freeing forgiveness

Every one of us has felt the sting of another person's sin. Husbands cheat on their wives. Children rebel against their parents. Parents abuse their children. Pastors injure their church members. Bosses mistreat their employees. Friends say hurtful things. The list goes on . . . Even as you read this, some hurtful memory you thought was long-forgotten may have rushed through your mind and you have felt the sting again.

One thing that can keep you from healing and freedom is bitterness.

Forgiveness is everywhere in the ministry of Jesus. You can't spend 10 minutes in the Gospels without concluding that forgiveness was at the bullseye of his entire life and death. Even his dying breath was, ?Father, forgive them."

He tasted the acid of every insult you have suffered, every mistreatment, every rejection. He endured the shame. He suffered so that it could be forgiven . . . so that you could be forgiven. More than any of us, he understands the cost of forgiveness. Yet he died so we could be set free from the bondage of bitterness.

Do you cherish unforgiveness in your heart because of the pain someone has inflicted on you? A vindictive spirit punishes only the person who holds it in his heart. If a hot coal is placed in your hands, the searing pain does not begin to subside until you drop it.

The bitterness needs to go. Unforgiveness has no place in the life of a follower of Jesus. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring to mind the name and face of the ones you need to love. Pray from your heart, ?Lord, you have forgiven me so much; I choose to show that kindness to others."

You may be thinking, I've tried to do that . . . but I can't. You're absolutely right, it's too much for us. But God would never ask for obedience in something impossible to do. First, he supplies the model of his own Son. Then he provides his indwelling Spirit for the strength and the ability.

Bring your bitterness to God, and following the model of Jesus, begin praying for your enemies today. ?James MacDonald walkintheword.com

seeking: Father, what have you revealed about my own lack of forgiveness for others? How have I seen them differently through your eyes?

responding: How has God shown me forgiveness? ? What's keeping me from extending that mercy to _________________________?

Father, thank you for forgiving me for all of my sin. Forgive me for failing to extend that to others. Lord Jesus, I forgive ______________ for ________________________. I want to know and experience the freedom that you have provided for me, and so for the sake of victory and obedience I entrust myself to you now.

bad day

its finally not sunny anymore. after 3-5 glorious days of summer in spring. absolutely love the warm weather. but its all cloudy and rainy now. went for a walk around churotn park this morning tho. and im currently wasting my day away. haha. supposed to do my mofi assignment today, but i guess im gonna skip this one as i have already completed my 6 outta 9 assignments, so requirement fulfilled.. no more inspiration to do this. plus i tried looking for information on the rbnz website, but i cant find anything anyway. more reasons not to do anything.

why discrimination in flight prices i suddenly realise. when its having a 159NZD sale in NZ....and the prices in au is like 209AUD. funny qantas. which is just weird. thot things in aussie is cheaper. usually.

made my mask for the masquerade ball this sat. found out that the stafford house ball on fri is also a masquerade ball. how unoriginal. err...both the commerce ppl and the stafford house ppl. not discriminating ;)

should start my course readings for both mofi and coml now...ive procrastinated like half my day away already. might have to shoot off to uni or switch off this comp!!

me = shallow??

well...so many things in a day goes unsaid. mayb i'm just not vocal about my feelings or mayb somethings in my opinion is better left unsaid. yeah sure i talk heaps, but is all i talk abt is abt other ppl and their gossip n their life...that i cant open myself to the world?? apart from that complaining about the trivial things in life??

reakon i just dun like to be vunerable by sharing stuff that people might use against me one fine day. or mayb i'm afraid of getting hurt. by being too exposed.

but what happens if all these just makes me shallow? sure u dun tell the whole world your deepest secrets, but what happens if they are close to you?still keep ur secrets to yourself....or is it better to let yourself go and let ppl share your burden...and give you advice???

sometimes im not happy, but i dun say anything, but yet at the same time i can go all out being angry at some people telling them what's wrong...but sometimes when it has to do with me, im stuck. what the hell am i on about now. lost myself somewhere in my words again. but point is, i think im shallow. everything is too on the surface..

but when i wanna work things out, seems like everything that is built around me is shallow as well or so it seems. not that others are shallow as well, but rather stuff are built on sand. where it can all fall apart just like that.

sighhh....what am i doing??????????

green

bye green...its been great knowing yah...hope u'll find a great job in korea...and dun forget to keep in touch yah??

p/s hav fun while ur in msia!!! :D
