Here is a tip on how you can be more efficient when you are on your computer by decluttering your desktop. Remove unwanted downloads, photos, screenshots, email attachments, and other files. Create a folder for nonessential items and use this for temporary storage, deleting files once you’re done with them. Organize shortcuts in a separate folder for easy access. Choose a favorite motivating picture or positive slogan as your wallpaper and centralize the image on the desktop. Strategically place icons around the focus point, maintaining a clean look. If your chosen image is obstructed by icons, it's a sign to trim down. This will create a streamlined digital space and you will enjoy a faster, more efficient computer experience.
Have you had your daily serving of vitamin J or joke-o-flavin? Get a whole day’s worth now with the joke of the day. It’s called “Forever Yours.”
At the police station, a detective questioned a woman:
“When you found this ring, why didn’t you immediately turn it over to the police?”
“Oh! Because it was not necessary!”
“And why not?”
“Because this phrase is engraved on the ring: ‘Forever yours.’”
?!
And now we have a heartline from An Qi in Singapore:
My most Respectful Master and Supreme Master TV team, I am not a poem enthusiast, yet many years ago, during meditation, I had the sudden inspiration to compose the following poems:
1) WAKE UP CALL
All of us are young at heart,
unfortunately our body will gradually fall apart.
Why then do we continuously strive so hard for materialistic things,
when we jolly well know that upon death,
we can’t bring a single thing?
Please wake up my darling, please wake up my love,
release your encaged soul and flee like a dove.
Quickly return to our original Heavenly abode,
and finally cease to be maya’s robot.
2) KARMA
Karma can be good, karma can be bad,
you don’t have to feel so sad.
As long as during this lifetime you do good deeds,
good seeds will be planted indeed.
When the good seeds germinate into steady trees,
behold your soul will surely be free.
Since this human body is difficult to get,
you must practice diligently less you regret.
3) TREAD WITH CARE
Oh Mighty God! Please lend us a hand and give us strength!
Our route on this planet Earth may be of great length.
Along the way there are numerous traps.
One wrong step and we fall headlong onto maya’s most welcoming lap.
Better tread cautiously armored with our Five Precepts.
Otherwise, when it is time to hand in our identity card,
we will be sorrowful and full of regret.
4) POWER OF MEDIA
Oh media, media, you have the function of a double-edged sword!
Why not work as an efficient tool for our Almighty God?
Do not consistently brainwash the poor souls to feel forever discontented.
This will cause them to foolishly chase their own shadow till their life ends.
Instead, propagate noble thoughts, kind words and moral actions.
Then our society will definitely have peace and not be in such dire decadence!
May Master always be blessed with good health and kept away from harm! May our world turn vegan soon! An Qi from Singapore
Gifted An Qi, We praise your inspired poetry and hope it may help awaken others to act now and save themselves. Changing to a vegan diet and respecting the lives of the innocent and blessed animal-people must urgently happen if life on Earth is to survive. May you and sunny Singapore always be uplifted by Heavens. In Universal Wisdom, Supreme Master TV team
P.S. Master applauds your poetic advice to all citizens of Earth: “Forthright An Qi, I thank you for your poems. Your sincere words reflect what must happen to ease the pain I see all around the globe, as much of humanity blindly walks the indoctrinated path to their own demise. We will reap the karma from our heartless treatment of our beloved animal friends, who have come here to help us. How have we repaid them? I cry to think of all the trauma they have and continue to endure. Know that I will forever love you and may the Mighty Godses mercifully heal all suffering and bring joy and bliss to you and the eloquent people of Singapore.”
