Was talking to a friend about the current state of Malaysia, and it just depresses me. Yes. It has that effect on me. And then I chanced upon this video and though it’s only loosely related, it’s inspiring. Sharing this here so I, too, can re-watch it another day, when I need it. Enjoy!

“We have trained, hired, and rewarded people to be cowboys. But it’s pit crews that we need, pit crews for patients.” – Atul Gawande If you haven’t read his book ‘The Checklist Manifesto’, watching this video kinda sums it up. But if you ask me, I say you should read the book nonetheless. That and the other 2 books before that. His writing is clean and crisp, and he’s a great storyteller. And if you’re in the health care industry, you’ll love the books even more. Enjoy!

Some time ago I saw this interview about science, evolution and universe etc. with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, by Stephen Colbert. Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an American astrophysicist, and the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Peace; while Stephen Colbert as we all know, is a political satirist and, among other roles, the host of The Colbert Report. When I first watched it, I remember having many thoughts running through my mind, but unfortunately I didn’t write them down, so they’re long gone by now. But! I really think people should watch it.…

Many of you may agree that our education system today isn’t doing a great job educating our young ones, and something must be done. This TED talk by Sir Ken Robinson pointed out the problems of our education system today, and urged those who have the ability to make a change do something. I personally think that even if you’re not in the position to make a major difference, this 18-minute video may still benefit you, because who knows, it may change the way you educate your kids in the future. Enjoy!

I promise you, these videos are of the cutest little kids I’ve ever seen, the first one reciting a poem – Litany, by Billy Collins, and the latter, a french girl telling her cutest (albeit a little morbid) fairytale that tickles your heart. if you’re having a bad day, spend the next six and a half minutes to watch this, it will cheer you up. 🙂
