Be Friends with Failure

You might have seen this on Facebook as a viral post.
And I might be overdue on posts.

Nonetheless, this is something worth to look at, to constantly remind yourself how good you are intrinsically. 



Because too many times I have seen people giving up on themselves. And I don't want them to.

And one more thing:
If you are ever bored, it's because you are not curious enough.

There are so many new things to discover each day. Even if you find yourself with nothing to do, just chilling out and watching scenery is itself something to do.

Friends ask me, how do I cope with all the stress?
Enjoy anything you do. I am lucky enough to have the luxury of being successful in some things that I do, but that is primarily because I like learning, whether it will be useful or not; because anything will be useful, it is a matter of when. Fight those unhealthy tendencies and thoughts that go something like "Why am I learning this shit?" or "It is not even going to help us next time!". 
There's a difference between saying it for fun during lunch chat and actually believing in those statements.
I may not like studying some subjects. Neither do I like to see myself scribbling and pondering over some questions only to smack myself in the face when I see how simple the solutions are. I curse and swear at myself for stupidity, overlooking simple details or just careless mistakes. But do I actually let them affect me?


No.

"Failure is a sign you are learning something new." Even if you have tried time and again and keep making mistake, it's a sign that:
1. You can try a new method to learn it.
2. You simply haven't learnt it that well, so learn again!

Oh and try listening to this Youtube channel, been my study music for this sem: Relax Daily

While waiting ..

While waiting for my 11MB poster to be rendered and saved by my computer, I went some internet trawling and came across this.


The Wife List: 10 Qualities

Of course we should not turn people into walking checklists, but also look whether they have the potential to do so.
In fact, end of the day, I feel I can sum it up again to self confidence.

Nonetheless, there was one striking line that reverberates with one of my own ethos: 
Marriage is a joining of two lives that existed prior to meeting the other person.
My version: I love you not for you to become Kevin's girlfriend (proof I am straight xD), but I love you because you are .


And interestingly, the author's wife made the female version of the checklist, and curious me went to take a look. 

The Husband List: 12 Non-Negotiables

Strip away her religious tendencies, I agree the characteristics that she is looking for are characteristics that will lead to a stable and sustained relationship. 

Definitely, everyone is a work in progress, hence if I could add one more point, it would be: They should have a learning and never-say-die spirit. 


Remember, this is not about "ticking off mental checklists" when you find a person of the opposite sex. Even if someone lacks some, enlighten him/her and bring him/her on a journey where both of you can improve each other.

Being adaptable and I don't know what to do

Being adaptable is really the key to success these days.

It's not about being the smartest, or the fastest, but whether you give yourself the option to do whatever the situation requires you to do.

You get fit not only because you look better or can run/jump/swim faster, but because it gives you more options to
1. try other sports/games
2. literally escape from danger

There are always weaknesses to everything (in the process of being fit you might injure yourself and make yourself worse), but being adaptable means you have means to counter these weaknesses whenever you need to. 

For example, gazelles can run long distance (they can sustain a longer distance than cheetahs) but do not have the option to sprint short distances (which cheetahs are famous for), this makes them less adaptable as they are unable to "switch" modes of running if they need to.

Here's a more relevant analogy. You may be the most diplomatic person around the class likes you, but inevitable there will be people in the future whom you will meet that will take advantage of your diplomacy. Are you able to switch to a more aggressive stance to get what you want? If you can, then good you are adaptable. But converse is also true, if you can't, you are not adaptable and will be subjected to abuse (and you will feel helpless about it because you will be wondering why your diplomacy doesn't work at that moment).

And here's a tip to the usual complaints of "I don't know what to do":
If you find yourself in a situation facing a project/term paper/written report that you claim you have no idea what to do, imagine yourself in a situation where you are given 10 minutes to come up with anything linked to the theme in question otherwise you'll get shot/killed/mauled/decapitated/tortured/maimed (assuming these are treatments you don't want to get).
I think you would have probably come up with 1 idea by now. Work on that idea, brainstorm and apply that scenario again until you have a sizeable amount of ideas.


Enjoy school!

What you want is harder to find than what you don't want.

What you want is harder to find/discover than what you don't want.

Sounds potent, and logical enough.


People actually don't mind interacting, just you have to actively engage them if they don't engage you.

I would excel if I were to put in a n x (n2+n/2) array, and I heard Fibonacci first didn’t like that number. If that didn’t help you, adding up both the row number and column number won’t give you more chairs than a square of five chairs. Following that, watch out for the same mischievous bunch of students that keep appearing, maybe they will give a clue to this mayhem? But take note –students being in the same school does not mean that all levels of students are exactly the same. Lastly, I really hate numbers. But you know what, the first thing you should do when you are stuck, is to always ask questions… with just one letter? Y?


And when you are done with all those.. here's the last puzzle for you to solve:

AEDHH – NSATA – GUYRP – OOTIP – HYOBY

It will be remarkably easy. However you started, will always be however you end.

Thought Catalog Strikes Again.. Hot

14 Of The Most Powerfully Hot Qualities People Can Have

Again, Thought catalog strikes.

But this is different from the usual love story based articles found in traditional Thought Catalog fashion, it's about being yourself.

Yes, ultimately you want to get a good partner (and be a good one too). But like the old cliche saying goes, if you cannot even take care of yourself, how can you take care of others?

Of course, being a humble bragger, I would say I exhibit some levels of each of the 14 points, but definitely still a work in progress.

I recommend, exhort if you want, you to read through and reflect on yourself.
If I were to sum up the article, it is about self-confidence, and being optimistic.

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light"

Interested in Interesting Interest

Lately, I have been very fortunate to experience some very positive emotions.

Talent and skill is secondary, but the interest and desire to learn is primary.

It's very interesting, and also uplifting, to see a friend's eyes sparkle when they enter a new place. Bearing the curiousity of the child, he will go around and soak in all the new stuff that he can see in his eyes.

Interest in a certain topic/project/subject really changes one's behaviour. You will automatically become interested, take initiative and be willing to discuss and try out new ideas/methods. There is no need for external impetus, just solely relying on the fire of desire burning within the mind is sufficient to keep one going. Negative thoughts become less commonplace, and failure only serve to fuel more desire to make things work.

It is a really refreshing thing to see, and pleasant watching someone so interested in something.

And surprisingly, the two friends I am talking about have names that start with the same letter.

Got inspired.

Paradoxically, the only logical way to solve irrationality is by using irrationality, instead of rational means.

Still learning, I am.
Reflect on my paradigm,
If I want to help,
Help should be tailored to her (him)
Not based on my views,
But on the person herself.

Awkward haiku-burger is awkward. But u get the picture. I think.

Edit: If you realised, I edited my Out links -->

Saturday, September 14, 2013

Would like to emphasize a thought again, something that makes sense and I wonder why I didn't think of it:

If you want to help someone or make someone feel good, make sure the person gets helped. There's really a time and place for everything, no use trying to help a person who does not intepret your actions the way you do, you only end up making the rift between you and him/her worst.

Random #1

#Warning: this will be a relatively disjointed post, compared to my other posts#

It just makes me feel so good, when someone initiates a random conversation with me just to share with me something random about his/her life. And I appreciate every bit of it.

Sadly, I myself am unable to carry on conversations.

Thinking back about me in class, maybe I am actually an introvert, but I act as if I am an extrovert because I want attention. But put me on a bus with a friend most likely the friend will end up getting bored (if he/she is looking for a conversation)

Somehow there are a million voices talking in my head, scrolling through all the thought catalog and random inspirational/humblebrags that I have read. But I realised they are actually largely contradictory in concept. The most important thing is where to draw the line.
For instance, we want to be ourselves, but if we simply be ourselves we will also impose upon others.


I need to learn to work with people of different personalities. And not misintepret things. But if I just take things at surface value, I become "insensitive". Oh my god...

And I have to reevaluate my commitments. And what factors should I take into account to do this reevaluation?
