Quote by L.J. Shen

“I had bags under my eyes from working nonstop and my hair needed a cut two months ago, straddling the line between a tousled mane and an almost man-bun. Not that I would ever collect my hair in an elastic. That was almost as unacceptable as making country music.”

“It is so sad that Africans, we only unite to do bad things. To break the law. To loot. To destroy someone's life or to bring others down. We never unite to fight our oppressors. We never unite to bring solutions. We never unite to support each others business and we never unite to eradicate poverty or problems we have in our society.”

“It is so sad, that poor people are not fighting for solutions , but are fighting the opposition. Every time you try to point them the problem and a solution. They ignore you and chose to ask you on which side are you on . Not knowing that we should be divided to be conquered by the enemy.”

“The challenge of life and survival today is that opportunities often come with the requirement to do things you wouldn’t normally do. If you have strong morals and choose not to do them, someone else will, and they’ll receive everything that was meant for you. People with high moral standards suffer for their righteousness, not because they lack merit, talent,  are incompetent, unskilled, or incapable, but because they choose integrity over compromise. Society has shifted its standards to the point where being good often leads to suffering, while those who abandon their principles, ethics and morals tend to prosper and live luxurious, lavish lifestyles.”

“That night the Salt Fish Girl came back looking exhausted and dishevelled. A Malaysian girl who worked at her factory had been stricken with hysteria, had gone to the toilet and begun screaming and tearing at her hair. She had been working at the factory for nearly three years and was half blind and bored out of her wits with the tedious repetitiveness of the work. Her hysteria had provoked others, until half the women in the factory were screaming and howling and throwing themselves against the walls in sheer frustration with the dreariness of their toil and the damage it was exacting from their once young bodies and once bright faces.”
