Sharing Knowledge Doesn't Make You Poor

In any hobby, in order to progress and evolve you cannot be a scrooge with knowledge and information. You have to keep an open mind and treat everyone in the hobby as equals. Remind yourself that when you first started into that hobby, you were just as clueless as with any other beginner. What you know now, there are others out there who are eager to learn from you. If you are so evasive and vague about your source of information and your knowledge, then it defeats the purpose of socializing about your hobby.

In this age of social networks, if you want to isolate your knowledge and skills to a specific elite pool, just because in your opinion others does not deserve that information whom in your opinion is privy only to you, then it serves no purpose to add yourself to a social club, group, society, etc. Information works both ways, you receive and you give. If you just want to receive, sooner or later, people will take notice. Give and you shall receive more. Seek and you shall find more. If you are too tightlipped, there will always be others who are more generous with their share of information.

Exciting New Hobby

No haikus for today. My mind is not tuned into life's philosphy today.
Concentrating my thoughts on writing feature articles. I have so many ideas for articles that I do not know which one to start on first. I might just start an article about my new found hobby. Yep I am now into coin collecting.
Spent some of my time with a local veteran coin dealer over the weekend. And I am amazed by the wealth of information about coins and currency. I am staring to understand the passion coin collectors have for this hobby.
As with my other collecting passions, like any other hobby, you learn a variety of skills and acquire knowledge either general or specific in relation to what interests you in that hobby and coin collecting is certainly no exception.
This is the part I go "Waaaaaaaah!!!".

Coins & Currency of Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei.
[Added To My Library - 14 December 2013] 
I will be spending some time researching and exploring this new hobby and will write a feature article on this. Will keep you folks updated once my article is out on Geek "O" Philia. Till then, have a wonderful day ahead.
Yours Truly,

Value Thy Self

Life Is So Beautiful When You Value What You Already Have.
When You Value What You Already Have, You Will Care Not About What Others Possess.
Value Yourself Before Others.
Sadly Today, Many Fail To Value Themselves, Hence An Illness Upon The Self.
So Many UnHappy People, Envious People, Dastardly People And The Likes Of Ill Will.
A Sign Of Value Lacking In The Self.
Value Yourself And You Will Value Others.

Free Your Journey

Wrongs Will Not Right Themselves.
To Resolve Old Wrongs, You Need To Make The First Move.
Invite And Grace The Wrong- Doers With Hospitality And Kindness.
Put Them In Their Place - Humbled Before A Kind Host Whom They Have Wronged.
Forgive Them Even Before They Seek Forgiveness From you.
Like a Boulder In Your Path - You Cannot Expect Thr Boulder To Roll Clear. 
You Clear The Boulder From Your Path - And Your Journey Forward Will Be Like A Free River.

Wealth in Health

Health - The Ultimate Wealth.
Health - Taken For Granted By Many.
Health - A Reflection Of The Inner Self
Many Live Disillusioned With The Assumption That Health Is A Gift Pre-Ordained.
How Can The Body Care For The Self When The Self Doesn't Care For The Body?
Care For The Body And The Body Will Care For The Self.
The Body Reflects The Self, The Self Reflects The Soul.
