Dear Dlink
Your product is great. However, "Readed and accept our rules" is unacceptable, in more than one respect.

desiderata
A poem quoted by a speaker this evening. I seemed to have seen it somewhere, was it on my boss' desk? shall go find out tmr.
Desiderata
Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Random ramble
Something random I typed on my iPod a few days ago. Don't even remember what inspired this rant. Very incoherent and rambly.
Are you allowed to learn how to cook while you are helping AIDS stricken kids in Africa? Or what about learning Spanish?or how to dance? My point being, should you be able to pursue your own interests while doing something for the greater good of humanity?
Personally I would think that you should be free to pursue what you want to do, as long as it is not criminally wrong or cause harm to others, but apparently our society doesn't see or feel so. If otherwise why the constant attacks on ministers who go overseas for an expensive culinary lesson? No doubt it's in the middle of a recession, but it is also his own money. Should he donate all his money and love a frugal life? He would then have no means to enjoy his life outside his work, and it may be debatable whether he enjoys his work or not. Not many then, would have the motivation to be a public servant, under the constant scrutiny of the public on how you enjoy yourself. Not many find true passion in the work he does nowadays, but of course this is a discussion for another time. Just a last sentence on this point, people are just doing their jobs as a means of survival, or as a symbol of prestige, a means of getting enough money to enjoy their life when they retire.
Why then are certain people under flak for enjoying the monies that they earn? Much more so than the businessman who does golf, the banker who clubs, the average worker who travels to various countries? Is it because these certain people are called to a higher purpose, so much so that they should dedicate their whole life to it, that they should have no time for the trivial stuff? The humanitarian worker who should not have time doing golf, the teacher who should not be caught clubbing or dancing, the pastor who should not be allowed to travel for leisure because he should devote his life to doing God's work only.
The press should not determine what is right or wrong for the public, all for the sake of sensationalism. There are better things to report, hopefully in a more neutral voice.
