Why this? Why that?
After all the hard work organizing something, some friends didn’t turn up. After all the long nights revising, turned out that what we study wasn’t included for the exam.

A monk used to mention this many times in his talk and his book as well. That, a praise will get you anywhere. Because we like to be praised, to be appreciated. But most of us didn’t feel it or didn’t get it. Sometimes we had done our very best effort, but other people failed […]

Change plan
or rather adapt your plan. Time flies eh? We had passed the first three months of the year. Early this year, did you make any resolutions? If so, how was it? Are you doing well? Looking at my list this year, some are progressing well, some aren’t. I feel that the importance is also changing. Some are becoming less important. I like to keep them on check from time to time. Until eventually it becomes an obsession to tick them. […]
