Today ECAD paper is challenging -> most of the things studied came out.. in MCQ only! Missed out Check-Out part, DAMN! I wanna apologize to the people whom I've gave my hints to!
Actually there's maths class to attend after today's paper. But suddenly, *zoom* we went to the arcade! WOO!
Saw my secMates (ken,niel,yf,lim) at jp. Doing what? Buying 2 sets of PS3 (yf&lim)! WOO! Now 5 of us having PS3 and the question is.. whether we're able to interact with each other frequently over PS3.
2 hours ago lim came to try to troubleshoot his PS3 network settings. Seems like his router have some problems.
5 hours ago, I was late for our CoG gathering to discuss of the orphanage project. But resulted in change of plans -> Sentosa!
8 hours ago, after messing with World Combat & Datona (spelt right?), I went to Nikos' home theatre! Now I know a lil' to look out for in getting a good sound system!
And right now, I wanna turn in after roaming around to people blogs! Fun and Great to know what's their life UP to! And it's really enriching to see how individually making a difference in life; making full use of their gifts.
ALL the BEST to you all taking PM test tmr!
Looking forward:
- Sunday's Sentosa with people
- Thailand trip
- Camming on Friday
- Relaxing
"Accept People for Who they are?"
Nowadays, I have always been out with my mates, asking and getting to know more about their life. Getting to know what's their routine of the day and stuff, I find it very interesting in dipping into people's lives.
Different people have different interests, hobbies, life goals, etc. Importantly, the fact that never to be changed: gifts & talents of one! Some people are much gifted to sports while some others might not be. But that some others might be much inclined to something else, like music!
Similarly, people have different personality and attitudes whenever they are being placed in any environment.
Everybody needs attention. However, the way of giving and receiving of it, might vary to certain people. Not everybody could accept the same way.
I've noticed that we humans, we are negative in some areas. Especially in the area of social issues, where people always judge quickly. Just like the old-saying: "Action speaks louder than words", and to that I believed that one's action could cause a person to remember it clearly & maybe for life.
In my opinion looking at my family and my friends, I feel that the cause of "disliking of somebody" is mainly related to: We could not accept the person just the way the person is.
Sometimes I feel that the world would be a better place if one accepts the person just the way the person is.
I've then learnt that:
- Whenever a person made a mistake or define a way of an irritation to one, don't always judge it and take it personally so soon!
- Sometimes it takes your heart and mind to understand someone. It's not always your eyes (what you see) & ears (opinions from others).
- Have a good heart to give people a chance by not judging them. For as I think in my opinion, we've no ability to judge people ourselves, because we are all the same & equal, just that we are somewhat different in the way we're formed and built (through growing years).
A challenge we could take up:
- Instead of being passive and agree to the things we see or hear, why not we stop those and make opportunities for ourselves in getting to know that person ourselves by being active in using our heart to understand that person.
- Clearly stated, a challenge and as always, in order to fight and win the challenge, let's be positive and... we can do it!
- In related to the previous point, instead of looking out for the negative side of the person, why not let's look out for the positive side of the person?
- Instead of sharing of the negative sides to people, why not we stop that and instead, tell the person personally with your heart and let the person get the point. I'm sure we all or particularly myself, I love to receive feedback from people, by which I know how I could get alerted by my flaws and tweak it!
- Encourage, encourage, encouragement!
Conclusion:
- Passively hearing & from ppl about ppl's opinion, and accepting it as a fact: Weaklings
- Actively seeking for connection with people, getting to understand them by creating a transperant interaction: Champions
What do you say about my thoughts? Do you think there are somewhere I missed out? I would appreciate greatly if you could share your thoughts with mine.
Some flares:
- If one feels that "why give a damn about that person, I don't even care much, why even bother to tell that person?" then one should just STFU and don't go around to share opinions to people.
Common Human Beings are always "easily affected". Find and go the easy way.
I feel that we shouldn't be those, but be a difference maker! Someone who walk the talk and educate, encourage and empower people. (I learnt these 3e(s) from CityCare)
I always believe if one wants to do something or make something happen, one can do it if there's a willingness in one.
Until the end of 2008 and the start of 2009, the journey is yours, to make it or drop it, run it fun or run it bad, Don't Give Up.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
My thoughts are related to the events that are going through in my life. I have no intention of alarming anyone or pointing fingers to anyone. It's just what I thought through and felt through those events. What I only hope is that I could find someone with the same thoughts as I have and share it together with me! That would be fun!
All the best to ALL who are taking their common tests!
Good job and have fun to ALL who have finished their tests and having a good relaxing holiday now!
Take Care ALL!
