Interesting Video 4 : Music Video by a Tamil Malaysian Group

Hi,

As compared to Singapore, the entertainers, especially the musicians (singers, music composers, etc) appear to be more talented. This particular song (the video and also the song really captured my attention. This song talks about the situation the Tamilians/Indians in Malaysia were facing which prompted the production of this song especially those at the middle-class level and below. Quite a thought provoking song. I like the catchy tune and especially the mixing of the yesteryear hit "Nallavar Sollai Naam Kaetpom (let us listen to the good/great people)" which was sung by the yesteryear kollywood actress J.Jayalalitha (who was also once a chief minister of Tamil Nadu and still working hard to get that post again).



Best regards.

"Can't" : By Edgar A. Guest

Hi,

The following poem was emailed to me recently and I wanted to share it here :-

*********************************************************
Can't : By Edgar A. Guest

Can't is the worst word that's written or spoken;
Doing more harm here than slander and lies;
On it is many a strong spirit broken,
And with it a good purpose dies.
It springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning
And robs us of courage we need through the day:
It rings in our ears like a timely set warning
And laughs when we falter and fall by the way.

Can't is the father of feeble endeavour,
The parent of terror and half hearted work;
It weakens the efforts of artisans clever,
And makes of the toiler an indolent shirk.
It poisons the soul of the man with a vision,
It stifles in infancy many a plan;
It greets honesty toiling with open derision
And mocks at the hopes and dreams of a man.

Can't is a word none should speak without blushing;
To utter it should be a symbol of shame;
Ambition and courage it daily is crushing;
It blights a man's purpose and shortens his aim.
Despise it with all of hatred of error;
Refuse it the lodgement it seeks in your brain;
Arm against it as a creature of terror,
And all that you dream of you someday shall gain.

Can't is the word that is foe to ambition,
An enemy ambushed to shatter your will;
Its prey is forever the man with a mission
And bows to courage and patience and skill.
Hate it, with hatred that's deep and undying,
For once it is welcomed 'twill break any man;
Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep trying
ans answer this demon by saying: 'I Can.'
