A small talk that made my day

The boy was studying for his exam when I reached home. He was only Primary 4, my land lord’s son. The helper told me that he’s inspired to study IT in the future, to be like me. (Wow!) He added, so that he can play games while working since he will be facing computer whole day.. (Ahem.. that’s not the good motivation boy.. Or I can say, I used to think the same thing too. How I chose IT because […]

Procrastination

Pro.cras.ti.nate (say it in Dalek’s tone, if you’re Doctor Who fan. I found it cute :9) Overthink about it What happens to me most of the time is, it’s all started in my mind. I imagine the task, or chore, that I need to do. By the time I finished thinking about it, I lost my will to do it. Or even worse, I’m interested to do something else, which is more fun or much simpler. Thinking about it is […]

Outgrowing ourselves

After reading the post in a fan blog about Seungri (승리) and reading/watching several Osawa Takao (大沢たかお) posts/interviews, I can’t help myself to have another self talk with myself. What’s the common thing between Seungri who is the youngest member from BIGBANG and Osawa Takao who is senior actor from Japan? Transformation. Osawa Takao used to be a model, then he moved out to various roles. Actor, radio host, documentary host, voice actor, producer. He did musical and had few singles […]

My best trait is

If someone asked you that question what will be your answer? While you think about it, I’ll share mine. That question popped into my head this morning.

Here are 2 examples why I think I’m average: As a primary school/junior high/senior high student, I didn’t belong to the bottom of the class but yet I didn’t belong to top student who usually actively participated in competition […]

To run away or not to run

Continuing last post, the second statement that I like from the drama is, “Rather than change the place, isn’t it easier to join another hospital?” – Minagawa Kazue (an eye opener statement) Does it sound familiar to you? When we are working for a company or another person, those conflicts are inevitable. We may have some principle or preferred method which differs to management or higher up. And after some times, when we are tired we decided to run from […]

Are we making excuses for ourselves?

I have 2 favorite quotes after watching a Japanese drama. The title is “DOCTORS: 最高の名医“. First is, “Statistic is just an excuse for doctor to hide from the patient. And saying “it’s usually like that ..” too ” – Sagara Kosuke Sagara Kosuke is the main character in the drama with some “unique” characters. I think sometimes we are trying to justify our failure by finding supporting facts which align with our facts. Do you think so? Hmm.. I think I did in the […]
