I heard this phrase before, but I didn’t really feel the impact until I’ve been in the situation of “no plan” Back then I usually like to plan ahead to the smallest detail and I.must.follow.it. If I didn’t tick 10 out of 10 items in my list, I feel that I fail. I was down and stress because of it. I used to set my daily steps goal to be 10,000 steps. However these days I find it so hard […]

some of the simple things which are inspiring
Crossing the line
Opportunity is like a door without a knob, sometimes you need someone to open it for you and you just need to dash through it. ちはやふる 結び Once again, this movie inspired me. Taichi felt that he’s stuck with his Karuta and intimidated by Arata and Chihaya. So, he decided to quit Karuta which he’s doing with Chihaya and went to a “journey” to discover himself like following another master in Karuta world. There is Taichi in us. That sometimes […]
Don’t sweat small setbacks
When you are starting something new, usually there are many “accidents”. And when you are having a few in a row, it is kind of not encouraging. Am I at the right path? Or should i just go back to where I was before? I’m trying to change my boys’ diet to raw, and now they are in transition from kibbles to wet food. Since 6 months ago, they were on few types of kibbles for ard 4 months. Now […]
Finding a buddy
Lesson learned this week is When the journey is long or uncertain, it is more bearable with buddy. I’m not a fan of running long distance. Maybe I had said it many times, I’ll say it again. However, I like it and yet I hate it. The serenity of running alone or listening to all the thoughts that came up during the run, is a very personal moment. I used to listen to music when I jog, but these days, […]
First time for something
I did it, I joined a race overseas. Well technically my first was Vietnam Mountain Marathon last year (or was it two years ago now?) And this time I joined a race in Warsaw. By accident. After visiting Germany for work, I’m going to be in Warsaw for a week for another work meeting. My colleague who went with me to Germany told me about the race, so after some thoughts and push from other running buddies, I decided to […]
Will you tell the other person directly for something which might hurt their feeling?
Reading the latest chapter of One Piece when Luffy landed in a new land, he made some comments about it and the other character was telling him, he’s too straightforward. But Luffy is being Luffy, he won’t think twice or considerate about other people’s feeling. He is just saying what comes to his mind. Last week, I received some feedbacks from one of my colleagues and at the end of the feedback session he asked me, if he made me […]
Going slow to go fast
This week inspiration is from my boss at work. In an offsite meeting 2D1N, he mentioned that sometimes you won’t go anywhere if you keep moving fast. But, if you wait patiently, you might be able to go way faster. This is related to your “North Star”. If you know yours, then it’s fine. Otherwise, you might ended up going fast to the wrong direction. Do you have similar experience?
Go for it!
What are the things that scare me? *MANY* Doing exams, going for races, trying a new role. I get butterfly in my stomach, I have cold sweat, and some other symptoms. But, every time I asked myself, will I regret it if I don’t go for it? Most of the times, there is a little voice inside saying, yes. So, it is scary. But most of the times it turns out to be alright. Our mind tends to multiply it. […]
