Grow

One of the kid characteristic is their difficulties in expressing themselves, once they encountered a problem they will show us many emotions such as confusion, frustration, anger, despair, and sadness. They will throw tantrum to communicate their unspeakable words instead of using sentences to complain or explain. This is because children have their limitation in vocabulary. Therefore the process of growing up require brushing up our communication skills. I still learning on how to expressing my emotion in words, and I use this blogging platform to improve my communication skills.

My husband and I are a pair of serious people. It is my joy to annoy him by doing prank and utter silly things. My husband often said to me that "small things amused small mind" (he said it in a gentle manner of course 😍). Indeed, I love small and simple things so much, I always keep my distance from complicated items, expensive things and phony behaviour, I even avoid socializing and keep my circle so small. Per contra, in the society what so called 'grown up adults' are complex beings, I guess I still have to grow up each and every day, and built the way I think and carry myself and hopefully I can become an open sophisticated adult with the heart of a child. 

We currently live in a long peaceful era, the war we know and experience are the cyber war and the emotional war in the real housewives, love islands, and the bachelor. We have limited life experiences, and living a convenient yet shallow lives. The young generation nowadays are live comfortably and have not been exposed to many life events such as suffering and deaths, thanks to the decrease of poverty and the rise of middle class income people in the developed and developing countries, 

I also have had a comfortable upbringing, my parents were good provider and they were quite protective of their children. Because of this, I think some part of me are still live in my own bubble until now. And that's what attracted me to drama on TV and internet, all these binge watching is just to compensate all the dull days. I need to step up my game, be more responsible of myself by stop wasting time on pleasurable events and entertainments. I would make my days filled with small achievements. I need to get out of my comfort zone, find my sweet spot, and grow.

The Gateway to All Understanding

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding. Tao The Ching Chapter 1

Entitlement

People say our young generation is entitled, it is a good topic to joke about for the stand-up comedians. Entitled is believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. I believe this is not owned by the young generation only, every generation has it, every one of us has it to some degree. This is a problem we have in society in any age, in any countries in this world. I remember when I was a kid, at night during the hot season our house was filled with mosquitos, and dengue fever are quite common in our country.  I can't remember whether I and my sister ever whined about it but I always remember the fact that my mother often stayed up late holding the insects killer racket just to defended us from the mosquitoes. However, My entitlement behaviour took the bad on me, I thought she ought to do that one because she is our mother, it's her duties to protect us. I did not really care how many hours she has spent at our room every night, or whethe...

Character vs Skills

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” –Confucius “Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” –Theodore Roosevelt "Hire character.  Train skill.” –Peter Schutz Have you ever notice how the recruitment process being done nowadays? The first screening is the employer will judging you from your resume, cover letter and GPA The second screening is they will test your employability skills The next test is group interview and the last test is direct interview with the vendor Through this process, skills definitely come first before the character and ethic. Character and ethics become the last or non existent factors to be considered in. No wonder people are so critical and cut throat at work or at school to be recognised for their skills. And we are wonder how the society become so corrupted?  Hiring competent people with corrupted morale will only bring damage to the society. Low morale people...
