Out of curiosity, a brother and I quizzed, "So what do you mean by "more spiritual"? When will you be "spiritual" enough and how would you know? I think it's true. I mean, I would. And if it happened to me I would step up as well. Not that I've been in a Christian relationship before, but previously I have always...I was rea...

A Different Box of Tools: September 2010

http://chutzpah-unlimited.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

A Different Box of Tools. Random musings of a curious character. Tuesday, September 21, 2010. Over the past month, managed to catch up with some old friends and I'm really impressed with their achievements. One friend chose a low paying - high job satisfaction job at ACRES. An animal welfare organisation, and another is starting a social entrepreneurship program in the Philippines. I salute their selflessness and devotion in improving the welfare of others. 譯文：德才兼備人的品行，是依靠內心安靜精力集中來修養身心的&#65...David Maist...

A Different Box of Tools: May 2011

A Different Box of Tools. Random musings of a curious character. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. After discussing all the conflicting views in the previous post, I'll share my thoughts on investing in this uncertain environment. 1 Importance of current yield. As the current market is neither super cheap or crazy expensive, there is a good chance of it trading sideways for a long period of time. While buying cheap and good companies is fine, if it offers decent yield, it is an added plus as you get paid to wait.

A Different Box of Tools. Random musings of a curious character. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Berkshire Hathaway, bargain? In the recently published annual letter.
