From Straits Times Life! Pg 6 (16th May 2007)
"The Chinese fear being called mentally ill. Actually it's like catching a cold." Actor Chow Yun Fat.

Thoughts
I tried looking for the original source of the quote on the net but I just couldn't seem to find it anywhere.
If I can listen to what he tells me. If I can understand how it seems to him. If I can sense the emotional flavor which it has for him, then I will be releasing potent forces of changes within him." - Carl Rogers
