Once I set up a surprise for my girlfriend.

In my kitchen, I'm busy preparing diner and she is stilling comfortably in the living room.

"Dear, I had a present for you. It's hide in the living room."

My gf got excited and start to search for the present.
After a while, she found the present and called out to me: "Thank your!"

While I am setting the table, I look at the present she found and says:
"Dear, actually I had a double surprise for you, there is another present in the living room. Try to find it, if you can."

That fires her up a little bit and quickly, she do the searching again.
"Got it!", she dashed to the dinning room and show me proudly.

After we had our meal, while having deserts, I say,
"Tell you what, I actually have a present for you in the dinning area, too".
Just look at her smile when she found the present.

Of course, next one will be in the ....... (fill in your imagination).

So, what do you think?

There are no more presents, but she might be expecting more. Or... Don't tell me you can afford infinite number of presents hiding at every corner of the house?

There is a moral of the story in the "present" scenario.

Anyway, another story and see what's the moral of the story:

3 millionaires suddenly decided to go for a picnic in a seaside.

They rented a small sampan and roll it off towards the sea.

First millionaire stand up and says:
"Oh, forgot to tabao coffee & tea. so silly. let me go and buy."

Then, carefully he step out of the sampan and tip toe towards the beach.

Holy. he can walk on the water!

Few minutes later, the first millionaire tip toe back.

Then, the second millionaire says:
"Ai yo, no bread how to picnic? Let me go and buy."

Again, he carefully get out of the sampan and holy! He also walk on water!

Few minutes later, the second millionaire tip toe back with the bread.

Then, suddenly they realized they forgot to buy the kaya and butter.

The first 2 millionaires look at the third millionaire.

So, 硬着头皮，he copy the first 2 millionaires carefully climbing out of the sampan.

Putong, he drop right into the sea!

Quickly, both of them help him up the sampan.

After settled down, curiously, the first 2 millionaires asked him:
"Didn't you see the stone walkway on the water surface?"

I am thinking of a quote from Mr. Buffett, i.e. "Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing"

city, want to give a try on the "present" story? I think post #20 of this thread?
Later, I will share another football related story.

The story is beyond me.

Hi Chialc

Let me try...

There are many undiscovered gems around as long as we are willing to look for them? Maybe you trying to tell us many undervalued stocks ... As long as we keep looking?

Haha... I no clever lah. Why you share with us the moral of the story?
