...Stilson is nothing compared to what I’ll face here. Was I afraid of myself? Of Peter? I didn’t leave my whole family to be known as a bugger even in Battle School. I want to know what scared me, I want to know what made me come here again. I can almost imagine exactly what’s happening at home, if it was a normal day. We would all be sitting at the glass table in the dining room. My seat would be facing the two windows in the kitchen; Mom’s would be facing the front door and Dad; Dad would be facing the circle mirror and Mom; Valentine would be facing me and the two couches in the living room, and Peter would be facing the stairs behind an empty seat. I could imagine Mom smiling at me once she saw that I was staring at her. Dad wouldn’t notice because he was reading the news on his tablet. Valentine would be talking to me about her day, asking about mine, telling me not to worry about Peter. Peter would- he would probably be making fun of me again, or playing with his...

...Many are like David facing his own giants in life, rather than facing actual giants, such as conquering a circumstance or illness that threatens to derail you. Malcolm Gladwell writes about people rising above difficult circumstances in life, like in his book “David and Goliath Underdogs, Misfits, and The Art of Battling Giants” using pathos, ethos, logos, and rhetorical tactics like metaphors, similes, anecdotes, epistrophes, and allegory. Gladwell uses numerous inspiring stories throughout the book to encourage the readers to agree with his point of view. He accomplishes this by presenting strong evidence supporting his claim that the underdog may, and frequently does, have the upper hand in social circumstances. Gladwell backs up his arguments using both primary and secondary sources. In...

...Lyn Bell Dr. John Warren Spiritual Warfare Slaying the Giants in Your Life What are the giants in your life? David Jeremiah reminds us that we have giants in our lives like David, Moses, Abraham and others. The giants in our lives have different names of fear, loneliness, doubt, discouragement, failure, jealousy, worry, anger, guilt, and procrastination. Just like the biblical ancients overcame their giants, we too must overcome our giants. In doing so we must allow God to help us in the process in knowing that He is with us and will empower us in overcoming. Fear Fear is a major problem in the land of the giants. This giant comes in so many forms. Fear has gripped us all at some point in our lives. Thousands are affected daily in some type of fear or another. But fear is a common part of the fabric of living. Fear gives us burst of strength and speed when we need and is a good thing in a survival instinct situation. When fear becomes negative it then becomes a phobia. This is when fear and reason does match up. When fear becomes ill rational, it becomes a shackle that bind us and put us into bondage. This bondage will keep us from the routine things in life of working, playing, living and serving God. There are so many varieties of fears. This is a listing of six general categories that we face in fear: poverty, criticism, loss of love, illness, old age and death. When we read the bible we can see that those living in biblical times often were...

...Sime Darby's scandal 2010-11-18 12:20 World's leading listed plantation company Sime Darby has just celebrated its 100th anniversary and it has once again become a focus recently due to a project cost overrun scandal involving malpractices. When Sime Darby was said to have suffered a loss of RM2.1 billion in May this year, the market was shocked as Sime Darby has been a giant multinational conglomerate involved in five core sectors with a total annual turnover of about RM33 billion. Even the largest listed company is facing a management problem, we can actually imagine the situation of other government-linked companies (GLCs). It has seriously affected the confidence of investors in the stock market and supervision of the authorities. There are questionable points in its four projects, including the Maersk Oil Qatar (MOQ) Project which has lost RM526 million and the Bakun hydroelectric dam project which has caused a loss of RM340 million. Sime Darby decided to take civil action against certain individuals found culpable over the severe losses. It has reflected the seriousness of the situation and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) should also take actions. The government must disclose the internal audit report of Sime Darby to tell the people the truth. Over the years, losses suffered by the GLCs would just be left unsolved without even an investigation. For example, the Bumiputera financial scandal in the early 1980s had caused the country a loss of RM2...
