To fulfill our dreams!

This kind of topic was/is/will be written by many good authors many times already. But I found this particular essay expressing really good insights. The link is here. Yup, I just post the link and you can read all from there as I am not a fan of plagiarism.

Sometimes we have to make difficult decisions.

Sometimes, we have to make difficult decisions. Some may be necessary and probably some are not. Anyway, it does not take Einstein to understand we all have to face situations like this from time to time if not quite often. The problem is when the time comes, how do we face it? How do we make decisions which aren't biased upon anything? How do we decide which ones are the best for such situations? I guess there are no exact formula or procedures. we do things according to our experience or wisdom or advices (voices from within or from someone else).

It is not easy to have clear head but at least we should remind ourselves to have it when those times come. We all have our own Archillie's heels. Knowing ourselves and letting them out (e.g. anger) in constructive ways will help us a lot in many difficult situations instead of confronting head to head with other parties.

I am sure there may be times that conflict is unavoidable. Some people tend to feel offended easily and some are not. Knowing which one is which will make your life much easier. I don't think we should have our own point of view in every conceivable area but it's extremely important to have a few major ones in one's life. Without them, it will be like living other people lives instead of one's own.

Pushing ourselves is good. But pushing without direction means possibility of heading towards unknown which may be either good or hell. Sometimes, we have choices about how we are going to response but sometimes we just don't have much options left. All we have to do is shove our own complaints up our mouth and face them with "clear head" and "less worries/fear".

Running away may solve the problem in short term, but it makes you feel disgusted about yourself later for being a coward. Eventually, I realized that the only thing matters is how you feel about yourself. That's when the first point(not running away) kicks in. It doesn't matter where you are right now. As long as you feel good about yourselves, you are ok. We are doing fine and we are on the right track. Let your gut feeling sense it. Let your inner light show you the way.

I just remember what I have read from one article. I think the author is Jim Rohm. What he said is "If you keep doing the things that you have always been doing, you will keep getting the things that you have always been getting".

Remind me to lose weight !!!!

Damn.. the last blog i wrote about losing weight was in August 2007, which is nearly 2 years ago and I have pretty much the same weight as of that day.

So far, I have made a few things last month to support my idea of losing weight.
  • Joining the California Gym membership
  • Sleeping less
  • Eating less at night time

Well.. let's see my weight next month but so far I am 110kg fat bastard.<06/Aug/2009>

Now I weigh 102 kg and it seems I could reduce only 8 kg. But I am glad that I now have the routines which make me more healthy and fit. One is walking/jogging of around 5km 2/3 times a week and another thing is going to driving range and hitting the balls which is also 2/3 times a week as of now. <14/Mar/2012>

How do you finish your things early with good quality?

Well... I have been thinking a lot lately about this and sometimes i could do it and sometimes i couldn't even if i tried to. Then i had this idea of last minute rush thing, i.e. acting like you have to finish the thing in your hand within an hour. It works! All the ideas from this rush flow through my brain and certainly, I could visualize the fastest way(may not be the best) to finish it up.

The reason it doesn't work sometimes is that we couldn't create enough rush, thus ending up with same old pushing the nearly deadline thingy. It's not the new thing and also not that i just found out but i guess it would be nice to write it down somewhere else when i am in mood. That's pretty much it.
