Today's Weather - South East Asia Satellite Photo

With the usual disclaimer, the satellite photo looks good at the moment for Kota Kinabalu. It should be another sunny and hot day.




Thought For The Day -
"We cannot insure Success, but we can deserve it" - Joseph Addison.

Joseph Addison wrote a play called Cato in 1712. It was about someone called Marcus Cato (Roman statesman). I take the saying to mean that we must strive to do our best. Although it cannot guarantee success, we will have prepared ourselves for the chance to achieve it.

Note that Nassim Taleb's Fooled By Randomness puts it slightly differently. I would generalise one of his conclusions as "Success is random, but your education and experience prepare you to grab that opportunity when it presents itself".
