Imagine that you’re a celebrity

Always be good to others and to yourself in words and in actions as if you’re a celebrity. This trick always works for me, when you’re imagining that you’re a celebrity who are watched by paparazzi or your fans, you probably don’t want to caught doing something bad, don’t you? Or when answering the interview from reporter. Well, unless you want to get some sensations from the negative buzz.

It’s all in your mind

“Why are they creating more problems, don’t they know it already how to do it?” Sounds familiar? We often think that why other people can’t do a simple task? And require us to guide them or to work along with them. The answer is, yes they don’t know how you want them to be done, because we are not psychic or Prof X from X-Men who can read other people’s mind. Even though we often work together with someone, it […]

Getting impatient

Recently I was watching “Miss Pilot”, a Japanese drama, about a lady who has easy going personality and not particularly smart but has a good heart.

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.

At the back of my head I can hear my teachers in life will say, don’t think too much about it. Although to […]

Too much information

Imagine that you’re given these information: Mr X has a water tank which has a base 120cm x 75cm and it’s half full. By 1pm, he threw the 1/3 of the water away By 2pm, he threw again 4/7 of the water away By 3pm, he threw the 3/5 of the water away The remaining water in the tank is 36 liters, how tall his water tank is? What we can learn from this question? First, sometimes in life, they […]

Appreciate and praise

If you bumped into someone you haven’t met for quite sometime and they mentioning something you good at, how would you feel? Happy, naturally, right? 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 […]
