Mulai HARI INI, sentiasa INGAT, dalam hidup ini TIDAK ADA PILIHAN yang membolehkan kita kekal pada satu-satu tahap. JANGAN sesekali mengatakan, "Saya sudah stabil..." Sebaik sahaja mengatakan begitu, kita sedang menurun menuju kegagalan. Di sisi kita ada 2 jalan iaitu jalan menuju KEJAYAAN dan jalan menuju KEGAGALAN. PILIHAN DI TANGAN KITA!!

Jika sekarang kita berada di jalan kejayaan, INGAT, di samping jalan kejayaan itu ada jalan kegagalan - sama ada kita terus berada di jalan kejayaan ataupun akan terbabas ke jalan kegagalan. Sekiranya sekarang kita berada di jalan kegagalan, di sisinya ada lagi jalan kegagalan dan jalan kejayaan. Sama ada kita terbabas ke jalan kegagalan yang lebih gagal ataupun kita melonjak ke jalan kejayaan. Sama ada NAIK ataupun TURUN. Sama ada BERJAYA ataupun meluncur GAGAL.

KITA TIDAK BOLEH MENGUBAH MASA LALU, TETAPI KITA BOLEH MEMBENTUK MASA DEPAN KITA

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – With the help of a $250,000 reward, the founder of the Papa John's pizza chain has finally reunited with the muscle car he sold years ago to help keep his family's business afloat.
John Schnatter sold the gold-and-black 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 for $2,800 in 1983. The money helped save his father's tavern in Jeffersonville, Ind., and he used the rest to start what would become a worldwide pizza business.
But he still missed his beloved Camaro and spent years searching for it. He created a Web site on the search, held promotional appearances and eventually offered $250,000 to whoever found it.
It turns out he didn't have to leave Kentucky, where the pizza chain is based in Louisville. The car only changed hands twice from the original buyers, ending up with Jeffery Robinson in Flatwoods, about 165 miles to the east.
"When I first saw it I still wanted to look it over to make sure it was the car even though I knew it," Schnatter told The Associated Press. "That kind of hit me emotionally. I was kind of numb."
The original buyers of Schnatter's car heard about the search when he appeared in a TV interview before an NFL game this month. An online search led them to the car blog Jalopnik, which has followed the search and tipped off Papa John's.
Robinson, who bought the car about five years ago for $4,000, recently delivered the Camaro to Schnatter, earning the $250,000 reward. The original buyers will get $25,000 for their help tracking it down.
Schnatter says it looks very much the same as it did when he sold it in 1983, but with a larger motor and fatter tires for drag racing.
The car will be displayed at the company headquarters in Louisville, replacing a replica Schnatter commissioned while he searched for his original car.
In honor of the reunion, Papa John's planned to offer all Camaro owners a free pizza at stores on Wednesday.

Good news for the environment - the BMW 320d is now greener than Al Gore's flip-flop. Thanks to the eco wizards over in Germany, the cleanest-ever version of the 3-Series trumps out just 109g/km C02 and delivers 68.9mpg.
That means you'll pay just 35 quid a year in road tax while still enjoying the car's 163bhp and 0-62mph time of 8.2 seconds. It's all thanks to the geeks who were let loose on the car - fiddling around with the engine and aerodynamics, doing things we don't understand. But we're told the new ‘centrifugal pendulum absorbers' and altered rear axle transmission ratio are big news in the world of boffindom. All we know is that you'll do far less damage to the planet as a result. Of course, the marketing people had to go too far and describe the 2.0-litre diesel as ‘mellifluous', which after a brief consultation with a thesaurus, we found to mean ‘smooth and honeyed'. We suspect, however, it will sound much like a diesel engine. Albeit a quiet one.

But it is.
It’s one of the few cars on the planet that can wear that rear wing, eyeball-searing Tango paint, be wider than a Victorian terrace and still have more trouser than mouth.
Inside it’s all carbon fibre and transmission tunnel, generous slathers of alcantara and something… else. Intimidation. Whiffy fear. The nose dips away in front, the glassy lozenges stacked across that rampant V12 flick light out back. It’s pure theatre and the better for it.
Twisting the key produces a whirr replaced suddenly by a revvy bark. Heads snap around and little boys point. Good. That’s what I’m talking about.
And when you watch the Stig going hard, you see the car’s rear-biased four-wheel drive understeering slightly, then monstering to power-oversteer.
In fact, we had trouble getting the Stig out of it. We had to threaten to burn him out, by the end.
Suffice to say that everything you hope the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SV might be, it is. Which, when something makes this many visual promises, is a very big compliment indeed.
Watch Stig lapping the TG GP ‘09 cars: Aston Vantage V12, Ferrari 599 HGTE, KTM X-Bow, Porsche 911 GT3, Nissan 370Z, Renaultsport Clio 200 Cup and Audi R8 V10.
