There are all sorts of influences out there.   I choose the type of influences I want to be influenced by. - Yip Pei Shan

This nutshell of wisdom was born out of a conversation I had with John the evening before.  We are blessed with discretion.  Let us maximise our levels of potential positives with the choices we make every second of our lives!

A smile is a heart-to-heart communication: it emanates from your heart, radiates on your face, and lights up the hearts of others - Yip Pei Shan

This proverb was inspired by Aishah, the ticketing lady at the Bishan MRT Station, Singapore, who flashed one of the most gorgeous smiles I have seen in my life!  It was definitely the best shanshiney smile of my day, warming my heart and feeling a tickly tingly feeling all the way to my toes!

I salute you, beautiful shanshiney smiley lady!

Sadness is like the stage background for Happiness, the actor, to perform - Yip Pei Shan

Happiness and sadness are complementary. We need to experience both before we can savour the true essence of happiness.

I love this proverb and want to share with you…

Happiness is like a sunbeam, which the least shadow intercepts, while adversity is often the rain of spring - Chinese Proverb

Peishan’s version:

Happiness is like a shanbeam, which the least shadow intercepts, while adversity is often the rain of spring.

May happiness shine upon you!
