Pearls of Wisdom

"Ting, you must choose your friends very carefully"

Sounds like great advice, no? But wait for Part II...

"You must choose friends whom you think are useful to you. Don't waste time making friends whom you do not find useful"


And.. how about this gem?

... service staff delivers item. Sister thanks her... and

"No need to thank her. She's only doing her job"


I really felt sad when I heard those words being uttered.

Then I look again... at a man with no one by his side, no one to soothe and comfort him, no one who REALLY cares.
