Had dinner with uncle kp @ Lawry's today. Extravagant place; nice steaks. Learnt from him:

1. We should invest our time to grow our powers to live in this world: financial (investments), knowledge (reading books) , influence (communication and negotiation). Influence powers grow with knowledge.

2. The bad things in life that happens to us, which are not caused by us, we should not feel negatively or bear them in our minds strongly (e.g. my family problems, studies and girls). Accept them as it is, recgonise and acknowledge its existence and move on.
