Sucking the youth out of urself

Ok, i suddenly thought of this, and i'm only giving myself 5mins to write abt this.

And i'm writing as a capacity as myself, my arrogant alter ego joe is in hiding.

Alright let's go!

Depend. Depend itself has a lot of meaning, depending on something, depends, dependant. Actually all of it mean u have to rely on something, its related to something.

And putting this into the current context. Whether if i pass my law paper depend on the effort i have put in. The effort i put in depend on my interest in law.

Ok so how abt ur lunch tmr? What u will be having depends on what's available, what's ur flavour.

And whether ur portfolio will go up and down is dependant on the outlook of the economy tmr?

And so, i would like to draw a conclusion that for most things that happened, that is happening of will happen, they are dependant on something.

And a question i would like to raise. Would u rely everything that will happen to something? Like maybe i want a cup of coffee on the table and i rely on someone to make it for me?

Or will u make it urself? Thus removing the depending factor from the formula?

Let me quote one more example, and the last one. If u are a lady, and u depend on ur husband to provide for u, u become a yellow face woman and u lose ur value in the society. What if one day ur husband dies? Run away with another woman? Or u urself cant take his nonsense but cant get out of the fix coz u are dependant on him?

So ladies, pls do not depend on men to feed u, for we have nothing to lose except for time and money. For u, u are losing something much more, something called youth.

When u think u are unfortunate, somebody out there might be worse than u

No, today i'm not going to write abt that. But having read this thread on hwz, it makes me feel i'm fortunate enough to not be in that plight.

Have u ever been in a situation that u've nv came across? Perhaps putting urself in a situation that u do not want to be?

Just turn back the time to a few yrs ago, when we were in the army, the BMT, where we would be pushing ourselves doing physical training which we wouldnt imagine doing

Ok, let's quote an example. U taking the taxi. I believe most of us, maybe not for all but i'm guilty to admit, do u really give a damn how the uncle will bring u to the destination? As long as he get u to the place, period? Or oh so this is the way hmmm and the next time u'd know how to get back

When u are looking for a job, do u look for something that u like, easy, but little chance of promotion or something that is real challenging, involves alot of routines that u dont enjoy, but giving some chance of promotion?

Here, i would liken u to the passenger in the taxi, sitting in the comfort zone, would u be actively participating in the way u get to ur destination, or sit back, relax and get to ur destination?

And yes, after beating 2 rounds of the bush, i'm coming to the point: comfort zone.

Take revision, sometimes, we revise and take a break, we go back and take a break again. And when we reach a point we will say ok, that's it for today.

Or maybe when we are jogging, we run for 15mins and u feel pain in ur legs. And u will say, ok, that's it for today.

So do u think in the future, ur boss tells u: i fucking want this and that to be done by today! Will u do and do till a point and tell urself, 'ok, that's it for today'?

Coming to this, i will make another comparison. I will say life is like the taxi journey, we can either get out of our comfort zone to reach our destination, probably ur degree if u are studying, a job if u are a graduate, a flat or baby if u are married or probably death for the rest of us.

Or u can be a couch potato, relax, take 5 and stare at ur phone reading ur frens' fb status ;)

And what i have to say; ok, that's it for today

A belated reflection

A year plus since i have ord-ed, and almost a year being an accounts assistant. Being in the junior position, i realise that things arent suppose to be as they are. Doing things perfectly is one thing, accomplishing it is another.

Taking a bite off life, seeing children in the street, listening to parents talking abt their life experience, i certainly feel that the act of love a parent have to their child, is way too much, or in the wrong way. Parents are not spending enough time with their children, and when they do, they spend it extravagantly, like spending on an iPad, iPhone to make themselves feel better of neglecting their child. It this really love?

Imagine years ago, ur dad and mom would hit u with a stick, and they would say doing this is for ur own good. However, at this date, u dont see parents doing that i suppose, even corporal punishment like standing outside the class is disallowed. So what kind of parent will u be in the future? Take some time to ponder...

But that is life, and taking another bite off ur time, touching ur heart this time, close ur eyes, think of what u are doing; studies, work, etc. and repeat this in ur mind "is this what i really want for my life?"

If ur answer is no, then what do u really want. And if u know what u want, then why not do it?

And chipping off a bit of time to a small but significant team of individuals, being a leader isnt doing things perfectly with a team of greats, but being a good leader is doing things well with the limited resources u have. So, i'd first apologise to my team, for not being an able IC, if given a chance, i would still be the way i am. Coz there's no turning back time and i cant change the way i am with a few paragraphs of words. Even though i had limited manpower then, i did short of being a good leader.

Back to parenting, dont u have to agree for our generation, our parents did great? They didnt really spoil us, at the same time they dont force us to do what we dislike.

And lastly, taking one last bit of u before u sleep: Few people are doing the things they love, but if they do, they dont do it well, they do it perfectly well. So keep dreaming, try to live ur dream, if not, keep living!!!
