Thoughts

Our mind is a 'thought factory'.  It produces thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of thoughts each day.  The factory is constantly under the supervision of two supervisors whom we shall call Mr Victory and Mr Defeat.
Mr Victory is in charge of manufacturing positive, wholesome, encouraging, reassuring thoughts.  Mr Defeat is in charge of manufacturing negative depreciating, worrisome thoughts.  Mr Victory specialises in producing reasons why you can face life victoriously, why you can handle what comes your way, why you're more than able to conquer.  On the other hand, Mr Defeat is an expert in developing reasons why you cannot succeed, why you're inadequate, why you should give up and give in to worry, failure, discouragement and inferiority.
Both these supervisors are very obedient.  They are just waiting for your signal to snap to attention.
The moment you give a positive signal, Mr Victory will throw the switches and goes on to work.  He will see to it that one encouraging, edifying thought after another floods your mind.
At the same time Mr Defeat is always standing by awaiting for your negative signal and when he gets it, he cranks out more discouraging, destructive, demoralising thoughts than ever.  He will soon have you convinced that you can't, won't or shouldn't.  Given sufficient time he will  soon drain all your energy, squelch your confidence and turn you into a frowning, tight-lipped fatalistic victim, strangled by the yellow, clammy fingers of negative thinking.
Thoughts, whether positive or negative, grow stronger by the day when fertilised with constant repetition.  That may explain why so many who are gloomy continue to be in that state and why those who are cheery and enthusiastic continue to be so.
Happiness (like winning) is a matter of right thinking, not intelligence, age, or position.  Our performance is directly related to the thoughts we deposit in our memory bank.  We can only withdraw from what we deposit.
What kind of performance would your car give if each morning before leaving for work you scoop a handful of dirt and put in your crankcase.  The engine would soon be coughing and sputtering.  Ultimately the engine would refuse to start.  The same is true of your life.  Thoughts that are narrow, destructive and abrasive produce needless wear and tear on your mental motor.
You need only one good supervisor in your factory.  He is Mr Victory.  He is just too anxious to help you and is always available.  You will be amazed at how smoothly the plant will operate if you allow him to take control.
Finally, fellow Malaysians. Always think on what is true, noble, right and pure.  Think about what is lovely and worthy of respect.  If anything is excellent or worthy of praise, think about them
