Bitter medicine

No one likes to be criticized, in my opinion. While some people like to criticize others. Just take it with open heart. Although it’s not easy. Take it with a pinch of salt too. Some may be true. Maybe what they say is something that we overlook. Listen with your head, not your heart. If it’s true, accept it. If it’s not, take it as something passes by. – me

Kindness and anger

When I was young, I was told to treat others like I want others to treat me. Along the way, I don’t see it that way. Doing something good to others doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll receive something good for others. However doing something bad, somehow reciprocal. You’ll get it for sure. I take it that everyone likes kindness so kindness takes longer time to return to you. Everyone likes it so they want to keep it. Unlike bad things, lets […]

When you’re angry

When either people or things are testing our patience. It’s easy to just vent it out. It’s a relief. Sometimes regret comes after. Because we can’t think clearly. Don’t deny it either. Because you’ll be more furious. Acknowledge it. And say, it’s okay, you’re worth more than this. What’s the big deal. Because there are other big thing which worth your attention and energy more. Be happy! Be peaceful!

2 things I learned from hiking Mt Fuji

I just came back from my Japan trip last week. There were 4 of us, 10 days in Japan mostly Tokyo area and Mt Fuji. Personally, this trip has a deep meaning not only because I’ve been longing to go to Japan but also this is my first time to use the language I’ve learned for the past 2 years. You can’t lie to nature Persevere, persevere and persevere Those two are connected to each other. This trip has more […]

Saying grace

Last night we had a team dinner after a conference. One of my friend was in charge of the ice breaking game and it was giving a toast and appreciating why we know this person. Each person has a turn and we were paired randomly. When I heard someone saying for someone else this and that, I feel very good inside. You may ask “Why” since it’s not related with me, isn’t it? Well, it’s easy to remember all the […]

A talk with yourself

I know that lately I didn’t blog regularly and the main reason is I was busy both in work and personal level. I’m not trying to find excuses (well maybe a little, an effort to justify myself) but I find that I’m so busy to the extent I don’t have time to have a talk with myself. It’s good to be able to talk with yourself (not in the bad way though), since it helps us to sort out our […]

When you are angry with someone

Most of the times, when you are angry with someone and you can’t tell them for one or many reasons, you will feel that the anger consumes you from inside, which is not healthy for ourselves. Sometimes too, the other party may not feel our anger (not all people are born to be sensitive with others). They think that everything is okay, despite we show our sour face? Yes, we need to acknowledge that. So, back to the whatever reason […]
