Things You Have to Tell Yourself

Saying "I don't know" does not make you stupid, but open up a chance for you to learn. Tell yourself to slow down whenever you think you are in a rushing situation. Deal with things with a calm mind. Always. People who hurt you are either weaker or stronger than you. If they are weaker, forgive them; if they are stronger, forgive yourself. Don't deny others when you haven't think in their shoes. You could be wrong. There will be things that everyone are doing, but you are not doing. It doesn't mean you are wrong. Don't let your brain to have a chance to be blur, avoid everything that can stop your thinking power. Keep you brain clear and thinking always.

Appreciate Life From Different Angle

In old times, Someone invite a blind friend over for dinner. They had a great time, outside is now all dark, the blind friend gonna leave soon. Then this host passes him a lantern, the path is too dark he said. The blind friend is furious, asking out loud "I'm blind! You pass me this lantern to make fun of me??" The host says: "I give you this lantern because I worry about you, you don't see the road, how about others? Take the light with you, then you don't have to afraid to collide with anyone." Every event, looking at it from a different angles, you would have a different perception, different thinking on the same event. The outcome eventually turns out different. Try to understand how others feel, then you might see why others sometimes thinking the total opposite with you. Try to put yourself further away from point of incident, you could get a bigger view. Try to put on others' shoes, think for others, understand the frustrat...

Why Should I Learn More or New Stuff After Work

Image
If you are coming from a slightly conservative background, you usually are loyal to your job. Imagine a post that you have worked at for a decade, you are the authority, I bet no one would like to consider start from scratch and move to another field, right? Day job is exhausting, gonna rest well once you reach home, you earn enough for your living, even for a certain leeway of life enjoyment, WHY whould you think about learning more? Why wasting your time while you can use it to enjoy life? Youngsters in the internet era, have way more exopsure to the world, than those without. Learning something new before they get into the working society is just at the ease of their fingers. Knowledge and skills can now be learned from the internet, many emerged with tonnes of interesting skill sets. The older generation should be glad that they are winning on the experience, or else it wouldn't even be a competition. Learning usually means, get used to something that total...

There is Never a PERFECT TIME, Don't Wait

Image
Are you wanting to make a big change in your life, but keep telling yourself "when the time comes, i will..." ?   Maybe you want to start an investment. Maybe you want to start a business. Maybe you are waiting for something to happen to help you make the decision to do something impactful in your life. You know what,  it ain't gonna happen . Nothing will happen to help you start. Nothing. If you want something, you have to plan it, and work for it, instantly, literally, INSTANTLY. If you want something, any other things outside the plan you are doing now, are called  procrastinating . Don’t wait .  Success does not come into your life like slotting in a "success" folder on a files rack. It is an accumulation of every "little" successes towards your goal, for example, taking the first step in your plan. Or even start planning your steps toward your goal. If it is daunting for you to take the first step, remember this, you...

Story of Five Monkeys and A Ladder

Image
Story of five monkeys and a ladder, or I should say, experiment. Five monkeys are put into a room. There is a ladder in the middle of the room, and a banana on the top of the ladder. For some times five of them stare at each other. And... monkey being monkey. One of the monkey cannot stand the temptation of banana, he tries to climb the ladder and get the banana. And the other four are only looking at him. When the monkey reached the top of the ladder, the sprinklers in the room are activated, and bath the four monkeys with cold water. Since the banana was eaten, the banana on the ladder is replaced. Then, another monkey wants to try to climb the ladder for the banana. The other four was showered with cold water again. Now they realized whenever a monkey tries to climb the ladder, the rest will get cold water. Now, whenever anyone of them tries the ladder, the others would stop him and bet him up. To avoid getting sprinkled obviously. After a while, no one is inte...

Everyone Sees Things Differently

Image
We human learn about our surrounding with our senses. Everything we see, hear, touch, smell, taste etc. is like an input to our brain, just like we type on keyboard to input text into computer. And everytime we receive information from our senses, we compare it to our big old "database" we have up in our brain. It will try to find a similar or closely resemble match to give it a meaning, associate the info we received with a feeling. Before the brain could process it or match it with anything familiar in our brain, the info is pretty much useless, meaningless, we will not exhibit any emotion towards that info. Once our brain finds an close match to our "database" aka. past experience, then we will perceive that information with the knowledge we have on past event, and try to translate the new information into something we know/ we thought we know/ we make up to know. And only then, that piece of information that our senses picked up from our surroundi...

The Map is not the Territory

Image
No one sees the world the same way as anyone else. This is what the pro calls perception, everyone has a filter on the world, on the truth. The filter is unique with everyone, and therefore no one sees the world in the same way. This sentence, the map is not the territory, often used to describe this perception in everyone. Everyone looks at the world with their perception, not at the truth, and their perceptions are developed through their life experience, which can never be identical to anyone else. Things that you believe is true, might not be accepted by someone else, it might not even be the truth! Just that the experience you have, makes it seems like it is the truth, you do not have the ability to see it from a different angle, because you do not have the life experience, but yet, it does not mean it is true. Understand this also tells you that you have to acknowledge the perception of others. Communicating with own's perception is gonna lead to communication b...
