In my line of work as project manager, I’m used to make worst case scenario because when running a project, we need to be prepared. So my brain usually will think few if-then-else scenarios and prepare some contingencies when certain events happened. However, it also makes my heart panic from low key panic to really panic. No matter how prepared I am. That makes me thinking, does it have any relation between as we grow older, we will have low […]
A wise friend always advises me (and other friends) when you’re in doubt, or doesn’t feel well, or basically when you have something troubling your mind, go for a run. I always reply, I’d rather do something else than that. However, I have to admit that sometimes it’s easier to just put on your sneakers and run, whether it’s a slow one or fast one, or perhaps just do a walk. (Depending on the degree of the matters, I find […]
I asked my friend, what if I can’t do well? He said, what if you do well? We often ask ourselves questions which doubting ourselves or worry about the future. Then eventually, that gives us unnecessary stress. When we worry about the future, it means we are finding fault with the future. (AB) We don’t always get what we want, but we will get something else along the way. So it’s a matter how we see it. Isn’t it? If […]
Do you feel your stomach churn before your exam? Or before you have your big gig? Well, I do. Thanks to a friend of mine; talking to him yesterday made me re-think the whole big picture, or should I say, my big picture. Let’s go back to the nerveousness, most of the time before I had school presentation, exams, or meeting clients, or even teaching, I was nervous. (some of my friends don’t believe it when I said so)
Below is the dialogue excerpt between Ria Torres and Dr. Cal Lightman from one of the “Lie to Me” episodes I watched, Lightman (L): Look, what do you wanna be when you grow up? Torres (T): I am grown-up. (L): Terrific. what are you? (T): I’m–i’m a– (L): You’re on your way to becoming one of the world’s leading experts in deception. But up here, you’re still a baggage screener at the airport. Till you change that, you’ll always think you’re not ready. How often we’ve been in similar situation […]
I like one of the sport shoe commercial tag line, “Nothing is impossible. Impossible is nothing”. The tag line has been few years back though, I’m sure you know or ever heard about it. First of all, the story I wrote is for sharing purpose which inspired by my own situations. I’m motivated by the tag line many times but for this time, I need to see the bigger picture of it. Let’s say that you work on a specific […]
One of the twitter wonder for me, knowing useful links of articles from a friend. He likes to post self learning and motivational websites. Recently, he posted a link, titled “Failing Quickly: Failing can be one of the most productive things you can do.” Curious with the article, I visited the link and it brought me here. It’s very interesting article if I may say. It highlighted that instead of worrying that you may fail, let’s say, your exams, or […]
