Dying for living

I read this in the morning. And I felt a big 'bang' in mind...am I dying to die or to live? What is live means? Below are the few sentences that caught my attention...

First, I was dying to finish my high school and start college
And then I was dying to finish college and start working
Then I was dying to marry and have children
And then I was dying for my children
to grow old enough
so I could go back to work
But then I was dying to retire
And now I am dying...
And sudddenly I realized
I forgot to live

Please don't let this happen to you
Appreciate your current situation
and enjoy each day
..old freind

To make money we lose our health,
and then to restore out health we lose our money...
We live as if we are never going to die,
and we die as if we never lived...

Is this sound similar to what we had experienced before or what we had gone through until this particular moment? To me, it certainly is...I have been dying to finish my high school and all sort of tests, hoping everything to reach an ending soon. But I wish from this moments onwards, I am relaxing to enjoy my uni life, my career and fulfill my dreams. U too, don't ever forget to live~

Day It Forward

It is a super nice motivation movie!

The concept of "Paying it Forward" by an eleven years old boy is just simply fantastic. By each of us helping 3 person, and the three person will have to paid us back by just helping another three persons in need, the another three being helped help another three person and so on...

Can you ever imagine that mutiply effect of this? So many people will be helping around and we can change the world to a real harmony place to stay around. Maybe you will asked why should i start to help others first? Well, someone will need to take initiative first right? As Trevor said, by paying a little bit more attention to the people around us, identified their needs, we can help them to have a better life. That's the way we can change the world, first by changing ourselve to love others.

So...let's start to help others! ^^

There's a hole in my sidewalk (by Portia Nelson)

Chapter One
I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost...I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter two
I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in again. I cant believe I am in this same place. But, it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter Three
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in...it's a habit...but, my eyes are open. I know where i am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.

Chapter Four
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.

Chapter Five
I walk down another street.

Have you fall down before? They said fall into enough holes and we will become "Whole".

下一步,该怎么走

这是我最近在读的一本书(何权峰著),很有意思。所以把内容减缩(其实是目录啦)和大家分享顺便也提醒自己。

当害羞的时候,把自己忘了。
当欠缺不足的时候,数数你拥有的幸福。
当不顺心的时候,把焦点放在美好的事物上。
当犹豫不决的时候,使用一下富兰克林的方法。
当遇到问题的时候,改变问话方式。
当担心忧虑的时候,安排三十分钟忧虑时间。
当听到流言的时候,必须过三关再说。
当彷徨失措的时候,你可以用归零思考。
当失败的时候,把错误当经验。
当压力太大的时候,让肌肉放松下来。
当紧张不安的时候,尽可能的呼气。
当懊悔的时候,精力集中在[现在我能做什么]。
当愤怒的时候,从一数到十。
当怀恨的时候,饶了别人让自己解脱。
当争吵的时候,不说最后一句话。
当被批评侮辱的时候,用漠视取代对抗。
当情绪低落的时候,尽速转移焦点。
当心情不定的时候,只要观察而不认同。
当疲劳倦怠的时候,假装积极热情的样子。
当乏味无趣的时候,练习[新生活运动]。
当痛苦的时候,首先要做的就是放下。
当不快乐的时候,不要预设条件陷入昆剧的时候。
当寂寞的时候,主动付出爱心与关心。
当忧郁的时候,先诊断,再治疗。
当嫉妒的时候,不要跟别人比。
当不满的时候,去想想更糟的人。
当害怕的时候,哪里痛,就往那里扎。
当顾虑太多的时候,做对的事,不当对的人。
当不好拒绝的时候,just say NO。
当挫折的时候,给什么,就要什么。
当患得患失的时候,注重过程,不在意结果。
当负担太多的时候,把[加法]改成[减法]。
当忙乱的时候,刻意慢半拍。
当沟通不良的时候,先听再说,以问为主。
当感情失和的时候,列出十个缺点,视而不见。
当情人变心的时候,随他去吧!
当陷入困局的时候,站在较高的地方看看自己。
当放不下的时候,想像你已经不在人世了。
当失去的时候,去享受,并分享所有一切。
当效率不张的时候,善用时间三步骤。
当迷失方向的时候,快设定目标。
当压抑的时候,把情绪发泄出来。
当不被尊重的时候,先学会尊重自己。
当怠惰的时候,赶快踏出第一步。

不必忧虑太多未来的事,未来是由现在所产生出来的。如果照顾好现在,就等于是照顾了未来。能为未来作的最好准备,就是把今天作好;如果希望明天会更好,那应该做的就是把今天先过好。大家的每一天都要加油开心咯!

One day event at One Utama

Thanks for the opportunity given to participate in this event. It is a good experience as I learn a lot from Catherine. You may wonder what event is that. If you have became a promoter before, that’s it! But of course we are doing a little more lar. We have our selling booth, ring toss and computer games, photo taking, and the “Save the playtropolis” game stations.

I have some happy and sad moments. I will say the whole event was a success and I am very happy working with all my old and new friends. However, some situation do occurred and I only see the effect after this. Some of their feedbacks are not very positive. Well, this is beyond my control. Although is differ from what I wish and expected, I will thought it is just a job.

The most valuable lesson I learned from this is to make sure everything we do must have its reason behind. Another thing is to get everything done with care, as to get verification from both supplier and receiver. I also got the chance to learn better about my friend’s character. I wish in the future I will not be blur blur again, and not causing any inconvenience or trouble to the others.



P.S. Wana say a big sorry to my brother, Joe and my dear...as i forgot to buy him vegeterian food and less one pack of rice for her...

Angels and Demons

It is true that the world got both angels and demons? How should we differentiate them? Can someone behave like angel but actually act like a demon or vise versa?

Yesterday I went to watch this movie, with an angel. The show is very interesting. For your information, Angels & Demons is a 2009 film adaptation of Dan Brown's novel of the same name, released on May 15, 2009. It is the sequel to The Da Vinci Code (2006), another Brown film adaptation, although the novel Angels & Demons was published and takes place before the novel The Da Vinci Code. Tom Hanks reprises the lead role of Robert Langdon which I like him so much.

In real life, human sometimes can be the angels when they are having positive emotions; and they will become demons when they are having negative emotions. Can we control our emotions? Yes, but sometimes we do let the emotions to conquer our thoughts and we lose our temper. Does it occur frequently? Yes, then it is too bad. It’s time for you and me to make self-adjustment. To me, both our positive and negative emotions are easily affecting other’s feeling too. It just likes a virus that will spread out to a few miles away in seconds. It can also be the sparks that lead to a terrible fire.

Tonight, I am going to make a decision and held a discussion. It may cause some conflict among friends or even emotion explosion of my dear, but I feel it is necessary to do so and it is one of the best solutions we could made. I urge for strength and bravery to help me go through this. All I wish is to have a happy holiday and everyone is enjoying their stay with each other in the remaining weeks… cheers~

中庸之道

中庸为之德也,中正不偏
诚之者,人之道也
诚则明矣;明则诚矣

中庸为之德也 = 中庸的基本原则是“允执其中”,即把握适当的限度,兼顾事物的不同方面,保持事物的平衡,以使言行合乎礼所规定的道德标准 。德,是一个人或社会好的内在的品格和价值观。所以,中庸就是作为道德修养的原则和方法。

中正不偏 =‘中’是中正、中心,‘不偏’是指形體上、思想上都要自然中正,獨立自主。即用中正不偏的態度與立場,深入人生為本的事事物物的根本核心,窮究他底真相。解決一個問題,必須以中正不偏的立場,從關涉到的各方面去考察,在各方面結合點上深入推究,徹底了解問題的真相,才能得到合理的解決。

诚则明矣;明则诚矣 = 由真诚而自然明白道理,这叫做天性;由明白道理后做到真诚,这叫做人为的教育。真诚也就会自然明白道理,明白道理后 也就会做到真诚。

诚之者,人之道也 = 诚实是天道的法则;做到诚实是人道的法则。天生诚实的人,不必勉强为人处事合理,不必思索言语得当。人之道,是指做人的道理或法则,就是说追求诚是做人的根本要求。
