Be yourself Be genuine


Was wondering myself yesterday while driving back from work....As a man thinks,How do I feel about myself?And how do you feel about yourself? Ask anyone that question & you would probably be getting a lot of negative feedbacks. In today's materialistic & competitive society, almost everyone strives out aggresively to one another just to be the best. Caught up in the rat-race of life, most end up being disatisfaction or incomplete with themselves. Once in awhile, we should take the time to get to know ourselves better. To appreciate the abilities & talents we have been blessed with. Instead of being eaten up by envy & jealousy, we should learn to be contented with the qualities we possess. We should realized that each individual is unique & special. We all exist for a specific purpose in this life, be it great or small. Therefore, no one on this earth can be considered insignificant or unimportant. If we choose to view life as a glass half-full, we may actually feel better about ourselves. Instead of comparing ourselves to others, we should learn to be thankful for what we have. Sure, there is no harm in self-improvement, but not to the extent that we forget who we truly are inside or where we came from our grass roots. We may never be as rich, successful or influential as some are & the grass may appear to be greener on the other side. But at the end of the day, we should be glad that we have been given a chance to live, & live each day to the fullest and be with people who care and love of what you are and not who they aspect you to be.GOT IT!

Waiting for you.WHO?

Appreaciate your love one when they are still alive. This is what I always advice the people around me. Many of those who already started to work (especially those from out-station) reduce their time of going back to pay a visit to their parents.
Should you have something to do for your parents, do it now. Never wait till tomorow as there are possibilities it won't come. We never know what will happen in the next second. Don't regret things that can be done earlier.
Many people making excuses such as they are very busy with their work. There was once a friend ask me. Should there are RM1 million to be collected tomorrow somewhere far away (and you are busy), will you go as well? That means it was just a sincererity of someone heart. If you have the guts, you will a way.
Therefore, stop making excuses. Your parents are waiting for you to go back each day. Though they may say it doesnt matter if you are busy, but, deep in their heart they really want you to be by their side.Is that really hard for us to do...I'll leave it to you'll to decide but trust me...I lost my dad in 2004 and just spent time the last 1 year with him as I was working abroad.Don't do the mistake I did.GOT IT!

Design your journey

Life can be complicated than you ever expected it to be.It's either we live with it or either design it to be in our path.The choice is within our reach.Do make the wise move,so to make life simple, here are 10 essential steps I personaly feels that it contributes to my art of living :

1. Learn to make up your mind. Fast.
2. Learn to not nag at others.
3. Choose the best option in whatever decision you are about to make.
4. Do not feel remorseful/regretful after making a decision.
5. Forgive others. This is the true meaning of PEACE.
6. Be true to yourself and to the people around you.
7. Love the people you know as if it's the last day on earth for you.
8. Take pride in everything you do.
9. Have faith in God. God helps those who help themselves. Remember.
10. Life is like a piano, what you get out of it, depends on how you play it.

We play the music not the music play us.GOT IT!

Assumptions


Everybody assumes, but the level of assumptions each and everyone of us make difference from one person to the other. Some assumes on almost everything while others assumes to a certain extent. Honestly, assuming is not a good act but somehow many of us are doing it.
Why? We assume just because we are lazy or take for granted to ask and approach the person involve and instead we avoid issues and questions that arise in our head. Therefore, we assumed
Assumptions can create misunderstanding or even hatred between two individuals, be it colleagues, family members or even best friends. They just assume that they know what the other is thinking. As a result, assumption can create a stir between two close bond, even it means that they know each other for ages.
We might not be able to stop assuming stuff about people but we might keep it at a minimal because the effect of assuming can sometimes be serious and maybe at one stage, it can end a relationship of two people for good. So, try not to assume instead approach and ask!Is that too much to ask?Open yourself to society since it's a free world.GOT IT!
