Happy Labor Day !


Labor Day is an annual holiday celebrated all over the world that resulted from the labor union movement, to celebrate the economic ad social achievements of workers. Most countries including Malaysia celebrate Labor Day on May 1, and it is popularly known as May Day and International Workers’ Day.

People sometimes attribute other’s achievements and successes to ‘luck’. True achievements and successes can only be realized through working hard and smart. L.U.C.K. therefore is Laboring Under Correct Knowledge! When we acquire the right knowledge and apply them with the right attitude, luck will be the output of the efforts we put in. Achievement and success does not come out of the blue. It comes from laboring under correct knowledge. Gain the right kind of knowledge, attitude and skills and apply them to whatever you do today, the doors of achievements and success will surely be opened to you.

I would like to leave you with a very well thought-out Creed that was written by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Creeds are good guiding principles for each and everyone of us to follow and to live by. There is Power in a Creed. If we want to live worthwhile and purposeful lives, it pays to choose and believe in a worthwhile and purposeful creed.

Here is one of the worthwhile and purposeful creed by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.:-

"I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

"I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.

"I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master.

"I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living, but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

"I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business, or personal affairs.

"I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.

"I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man's word should be as good as his bond; that character-not wealth or power or position-is of supreme worth.

"I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.

"I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God ... and that the individual's highest fulfillment, greatest happiness, and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with His will.

"I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might."

Read the above Creed as often as you can and practice them daily. You will be amazed by how the creed can guide you in your everyday decisions making process to achieve your true achievements and successes.

Good L.U.C.K!
