Interesting quote I read this week from Ken Blanchard is: “There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” After reading those, suddenly learning foreign language popped up in my head. I have been learning Japanese for about a year or more, and recently I also enrolled myself into a Korean class. So am I just interested or […]

Have a little adventure
If someone asked you, how have you been? What is your answer? Good? Not bad? Excellent? Normal? That question is very common to be asked when you meet your friends at early of the week or after you haven’t seen them for awhile, right? Most of people will start to complain when they feel life is picking on them. Some start to complain, some start to be ignorance. I stumbled into a good post, an inspiring life lesson from Bruce […]

After missing my due for my last 2 posts and as weekend is approaching, finally I have time to blog. Oh how I miss it. I feel like want to have a flash back for in this post.

Based on 3 points I write on fighting complacency, I did […]

Thought of the day: You will never know that sometimes even a small gesture from us, can be a great thing for others. It works the other way around too.

To whom I should blame this to
One of my friend recently told me that how miserable his life is. And he felt that why life is so unfair to him. (sounds familiar hey?) Yes, it’s all about complaining. I did that too quite often in the past, until a certain extent when I decided to learn to control it.

Never too late for anything, including chasing your dream

Some of us would laugh and named some professions, like doctor or engineer. (I don’t know why to become actor or painter or musician is not in the list) My answer was I want to be an engineer. I didn’t know that I’m becoming one now. Well, I’m a web developer to […]

Is there any problems?
I used to hear people told me that A problem is not a problem until you acknowledge that it is called a problem Update on 20-09-2011: And most importantly, we call it a problem because there is a way to solve it. So, if you can’t find a solution yet, don’t call it a problem
