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. She was accepted as pilot trainee and surprised that she pass the preliminary screening. (maybe you think that it’s very typical scenario in drama right?) When she was in training with other candidates, they started with different job role before having pilot training. They were thinking that all of those are useless and doesn’t […]

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. Then we asked ourselves, why? I’m sure that we are all in those situations. (Or probably worse?) and we feel stress because it didn’t go as we plan. 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 […]
Expectation
Sometimes it’s better for not having any expectation, because whatever you get it will be a surprise for you. The problem with expectation is, the only person who will be able to answer your expectation is yourself.
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 […]
Lesson of the week
When everything is not going the right way as you want Learn from it and grow There is a lesson behind it for you
Quick and easy vs slow and tough
Fast food, quick meal, short discussion, easy money. Don’t you think that we are becoming lazier? Yes, technology plays its role to make life better and simpler. But it also makes us lazier. Don’t you think so? I bumped into a colleague and we were discussing about fruit. We have one thing in common, we are lazy to peel the fruit skin so we chose fruits which don’t require extra effort, for example banana. In our busy life, most of […]
The required price
Last week I attended a talk in a very cool office space. I praised the organiser that they have such a cool office, and they replied, it comes with the stress too. I think most of us has something that we want to achieve but most of the time we don’t want to pay the price. For example, we want to get a good quality of cloth, but we don’t want to pay the price. Well of course, sometimes we […]
