Hi T,
Actually, you should not just read his quote.
Stare and observe the picture.
It's actually a map.
Do you notice what's the different between this map and "normal" map?

This guy is really a thinker and inventor!

I was lucky to know him/his work 10 years ago (read&owned his book).

I benefited a lot from his teaching.

The way he presented his world map is really different. What is he trying to tell us? i give up.

My favourite quote!

Indeed health is wealth. Problem is the value of that is exponentially proportionate to age. 年少不养身， 老来养医生

My contribution is this parable that I remember well
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Rich_Fool
And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you.

I can forecast business trends and valuations, but I cannot know if I will be on MH370

Ghandi's seven sins:
Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Knowledge without character
Commerce without morality
Science without humility
Worship without sacrifice
Politics without principle

indeed one of the very last people a person will meet before he/she dies will be the doctor.

"All the wealth that was heaped up never knowing whose it will finally be" - the doctor will quite certainly get a very nice chunk of it.

ah .. I should have studied la ...

just cut out the globe map and fold it into a cube lah..
