A good comment for Proton
i got this comment from one of my blog, and I think its better to share with you all.
I don’t know what went wrong with proton since day one of their operation. It seems that they do not have any ideas on designing cars. I personally do think that there are thousands of design produced by their R&D, but is being rejected. I don’t see why must a car with the same generation had to have their predecessors parts to save cost.
I’d like to give and example of one particular big seller in Malaysia..”WIRA”. Just because this car was marketable, it doesn’t mean that this car was bought because of the product it self. When proton discover that WIRA can make money they make new models like satria, arena… on the road when you see this cars you would say it is WIRA.. there’s no significant changes made to the design although the model name does not sound like.
Buyers now have the lot’s of choices, they want change, identity and unique. Generally sedan car should be a bit exclusive look rather that sporty look. If buyer want’s a sporty look on the sedan, they them self will send their car for make-over to the accessories no matter who is the manufacturer of their car. This happens because of the need of individuality and uniqueness of their personal belongings..(but beware JPJ is watching).
According to proton’s CEO this model is their turning point model in restoring Proton’s prestige where within the past years have been bashed to the drain. Personally I think this is another disaster model. The only way for proton to regain it’s dignity is produce a real limited edition supercar which will gain international acknowledgement. I don’t think that this is hard to achieve since Lotus is a subsidiary of proton, and further more there was reported that a particular supercar ™ design was transferred ownership from Lotus to Proton.
This supercar design also was reported being seen on the road testing (paultan) . Definitely proton will not gain profit by producing this car, but International motorist will start acknowledging porton as a good car manufacturer as good as Lotus. Proton also should involve more in motoracing internationally to boost up confidence of the potential buyers that malaysian cars are good and tough.

10 Tips for BRAIN HEALTH
“There is a lot we can do to keep our brains healthy and potentially prevent or lessen the cognitive decline that often comes with aging,” Daniel Perry, executive director of the nonprofit Alliance for Aging Research, said in a prepared statement. “We are encouraging people to take steps to improve brain health as part of their overall fitness regimen for the New Year.”
The Alliance for Aging Research recommends these 10 steps for improving your brain health.
* Eat a Brain-Healthy Diet. A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (commonly found in fish), protein, antioxidants, fruits and vegetables and vitamin B; low in trans fats; and with an appropriate level of carbohydrates will help keep your brain healthy.
* Stay Mentally Active. Activities such as learning a new skill or language, working on crossword puzzles, taking classes, and learning how to dance can help challenge and maintain your mental functioning.
* Exercise Regularly. Exercising often can increase circulation, improve coordination, and help prevent conditions that increase the risk of dementia such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

"Quarter-life Crisis."
They call it the “Quarter-life Crisis.” It is when
you stop going along with the crowd and start
realizing that there are many things about
yourself that you didn’t know and may not like.
You start feeling insecure and wonder where you
will be in a year or two, but then get scared
because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and
that, maybe, those friends that you thought you
were so close to aren’t exactly the greatest
people you have ever met (so so true!), and the
people you have lost touch with are some of the
most important ones. What you don’t recognize is
that they are realizing that too, and aren’t
really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that
they are as confused as you.
You look at your job…and it is not even close to
what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you
are looking for a job and realizing that you are
going to have to start at the bottom and that
scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what
others are doing and find yourself judging more
than usual because suddenly you realize that you
have certain boundaries in your life and are
constantly adding things to your list of what is
acceptable and what isn’t.
One minute, you are insecure and then the next,
secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force
of your life. You feel alone and scared and
confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you
try and cling on to the past with dear life, but
soon realize that the past is drifting further
and further away, and there is nothing to do
but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone
you loved could do such damage to you :(. Or you
lay in bed and wonder why you can’t meet anyone
decent enough that you want to get to know
better. Or maybe you love someone but love
someone else too and cannot figure out why you
are doing this because you know that you aren’t a
bad person.
One night stands and random hook ups start to look
cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot
starts to look pathetic. You go through the same
emotions and questions over and over, and talk
with your friends about the same topics because
you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans, money, the future and
making a life for yourself…..and while winning
the race would be great, right now you’d just
like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone reading
this relates to it.
We are in our best of times and our worst of
times,trying as hard as we can to figure this
whole thing out.
