Dr Meredith Grey's version of the importance of taking risks and trying:

'A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying. '

And then we have YB Lim Guan Eng, saying this in fewer words:

'I don’t know whether or not we will succeed. I would rather fail trying rather than having failed to try.'

You see why I say that those writers for Grey's should just kill Meredith Grey and move on already?

If there were ever, ever, one blogger who could be called 'phenomenal blogging superstar' that would be Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad.

Less than one month, and he's got a million hits.

Click his comments section, and you'll see the typical 'First!' scroll down a little and you'll see the urgent screams of second (after comment #10, #25, #Xxxx)

Which means at any one time there are several people commenting on his blog, and all would be clicking 'publish' at the same time.

Dude gets over 500 comments per post. Average. And many comments are blog-post worthy, in length and quality.

There are no crazy photos. Just crazy numbered paragraphs that sounds suspiciously like an old man rambling on (and you kind of sense he's a little bit old behind the ears and inside that brain of his, but you can't help but be awed).

A few years ago there was this old lady character on that Gurmit Singh show 'Just Follow Law' who started a blog called laozhabor.blogspot.com. And we all went like, 'SO OLD ALSO CAN BLOG KAH?'

…

Eh don't play play yah. Tun is almost 90 years old already, and he is like THE BLOGGING SUPERSTAR of the century.

How to not tabik lah?
