Rushing

I was desperately trying to get things one after another in my life. I was holding on to something which had hurt me although my friends have been telling me to let it go. It was good to let it go. I should have done it sooner. Sometimes I just need to be patient and remember that life doesn’t always go with plan A. When it doesn’t happen, don’t sulk. Something better will come.

Are you ready?

I’m going to have my first run in 2017 and it is 21km. Yes.. half marathon. Usually I like to start slow (aka, shorter distance) but last year I received notification from 2XU about loyalty rates and their finisher tee in 2016 was nice, so, without further ado, I signed up for 21km.  I haven’t been running more than 15km before the actual day, and has been traveling as well. Doomed. I thought. Plus, 2 days before the race, there […]

Can do? Cannot do?

A friend shared an article about another friend who managed to accomplish something awesome! Because I haven’t be able to do it.

Conspiracy theory

When you want to get something, sometimes the universe is just conspire to help you. I heard about that quote from The Secret book and I thought, really? Recently I saw this from my Pinterest, If you want something you’ve never had. You’ve  got to do something you’ve never done If you want the situation in your team to change, you have to do things that you think it’s too much effort (I’m just want to live peacefully within my […]

Learning from the past

One of the best tips I learned recently is from a PMP book from Head First series. The best way to learn and remember what we learned is by repeating same thing in a different way.  Which brought me to a feature from Facebook, called “memory” which tells you what happened to you at today’s date but in the past.   I found it annoying at first because of the notification but I become liking it. Why? 

Why feeling uncomfortable can be a good thing for us

First lesson from life this year is about being humble. When you had been working on a project or doing what you have been doing for some years. you probably started to think that I’m the expert. Well, definitely wrong. There is a saying that “猿も木から落ちる” (reading: saru ni mo ki kara ochiru) which means, even monkey can fall from a tree.
