Resilience

I once read somewhere that Leo's never give up. Obviously, I had to reflect and wonder if that is really true. I wouldn't say that the statement is false. But I wouldnt say that it isn't true either. Truthfully, I do give up a lot. It's just that, I either press on because I feel that I have no other choice or that I stop giving up really quickly.

I give up on certain things ally the time. It's just that after a while, I find myself coming back to it again. It's easy for me to see a new ray of hope. It could be a new way of doing things that might seem everything possible again. It might be another opportunity surfacing once again for something. Somehow, one way or another, I just cannot give up.

It's not that I don't want to; it's more l like I can't. Pressing on is almost like an addiction.

Now you might say that it is a good thing. It probably is. But there are times when enough is enough. There are times when you just have to stop and say, "I've got to move on." And this is something that I cannot do.

It makes thing seem like an infinite time loop. Trying and trying Aain, each time hoping that something different wil happen at the end, something different the previous times. And every single time, the same thing happens again. Except for the pain. Which gets worser and worser.

All of this for that one time, where everything is going to become better. Until that one time.

Every time

At the end of something, I have a tendency to reflect all the things that have happened before it ended. Currently, I have about 7 more days to the end of my tertiary school education. And I had a lot of things to think about.

The people I have met; those that I could actually count as a friend. The things that I have done; some out of necessity, some as fulfilling requests and some out of personal needs and interests. The different experiences that I was exposed to throughout this period; some pretty astonishing, some expected but unbelievable, some that I thought was going to be meaningful and me that actually turned out to be.

But most of all, it was the things that I have learned.

My Primary School Education was the time where I was mostly exposed to the dynamics of the world. My Secondary School Education was when I had the most fun. The most pointless, meaningless, unrestrained epic. My Tertiary School Education was where I developed the most Individal opinions about myself and the world. It was the time where I learned the most.

It was mostly scary, painful, and none of it particularly fun. It was/is a torturous process. But I can't imagine myself a person without it.

At the very least, I never regret it at all. Though sometimes, I do wonder why I have never regretted it.

As a person,

I always believed that it was the duty of someone who is more skilled to help or educate those without the ability; for those that has the power, to help those who don't. To quote "Spiderman" the movie, "With great power comes great responsibility."

It is partly why I have chosen teaching as part of my career progression. It is not just that I am obsessed with encouraging people to improve themselves, but also I believe it is my responsibility. Hence, I have always greatly respected my seniors, teachers and anyone who taught me. Whether they share the same values, they have made a change in my life, and enabled me to make a difference.

It is also why I hate to say no when someone asks for help when I know that I can.

However, it does get tiring. I do need to do things for myself. Sometimes, it would be nice if someone actually helps me simply because they wish to. Sometimes, I do need to be helped too.

It has been a while.

Everything has been going so slowly and quickly over the past few weeks. Things has been catching up, but time has been passing in such a dull and relaxed manner. After a while, it seems that I can't keep up with anything anymore.

According to neuro linguistics programming, our senses, emotions and thinking are interconnected and dependant on each other. Basically, when we feel sad, or body gets tired. When we are happy, our body gets filled with energy no matter how physically tired we really are. And obviously, when we are sad, we tend to think about sad thoughts. This might seem redundant, but once you understand the link, many things would start making sense.

How we would be full of energy and still be able to press on after a day's of hard work. How, despite days of rest we still want to do nothing but lie down in our bed all day.

Next time, when someone tells you that they are tired, it could simply mean that they are feeling sad, and what they need is company. Do think twice before you ask them what is making them feel tired again.

Writing

Despite my poor control of the English language, I do enjoy writing. Wiriting is a form of expression, a way where someone can share their ideas. It could be told as a moral in a story. It could shared simply as it is in an article. It could be a discussion; an exchange of questions answers that actually provoke answers.

The reason I enjoy writing is because it allows me to share information with I might find other hard to explain. Somehow speaking makes everything seem a little bit more awkward and difficult. Writing also helps me to frame my thoughts. Reinforcing bringing out certain thoughts which might otherwise seem blur and confusing.

In order words, writing helps me to share.
In order words, writing helps me to think.

Similarly, these are also the same exact reasons why I like to read.

Fear,

I think, is a largely underrated emotion. It's a survival instinct, something that says, "Hey, back the hell off dude,or you're you going to be in deep trouble." it's something at tells you to stop, and think before you do something that you will regret.

But fear also switches on when you about to make a change. When you are about to do something drastic to change your life. It stops you, forces you to consider ask yourself: "Can you handle the consequences your actions?"

Honestly, if you don't try it, you would not know. And that is where courage steps in. But what happens if you really tried it, but you cannot handle the truth?

I need to admit.

I read a blog about a girl's dating life just recently. For someone who have never read someone else's blog, its a pretty dam big step in my life.

I'm dramatising a little, but meeeeh. I did learn a thing or 2 from there. Reading about the perspective from someone else always reminds me that we're not the only ones having difficulties. The ones whom we feel troubled by have their own concerns too.

So why is it that we can't just reveal both our concerns and sort them out together? If everyone was honest and be obvious, there wouldn't be such a thing like misinterpretation.

But its too hard isn't it? Just to think that they just might not be that into you.

Well. If you want my opinion, you could have just said "no". Seriously. Its hard, and it might make you look like a fucking asshole, but what's the alternative?

Say, "maybe" and then nothing ever again?

Just as how people need to learn how to say "yes", everyone should know the importance rejection too. A cliffhanger that never has a solution isn't a cliffhanger at all. Its an end of story.

NT

As an Intuituve (focus on future) Thinker (thinking - duh) type, I spend most of time thinking up scenarios of my future. Or rather, things that could possibly happen.

For example, getting kidnapped. Witnessing a kidnap. Witnessing a crime. Performing a crime. Acting in performances. Pretending in a situation. The ways that I could die. The ways I would avoid being murdered. The things that would happen if I die. The things that I would do if someone near me dies.

All of this, to kill time, prepare myself mentally for a possible situation and be clear on my Method of Operation.

Its always good to be prepared right?

Free will,

I believe, is a false concept. According to Piaget, we build new knowledge and form new perceptions based on our previous experiences. Hence, how do we use these new ideas? By basing on our past experiences.

Our experiences come from interaction with the environment. By talking to people, reading books, looking at objects, buildings and natural scenery. All of which, affected directly or indirectly by other people.

Books whose ideas were thought of by the author. Objects which designed in a manner to encourage you to use them in a specific way. People who tell you about their experiences. Teachers who tell you the correct way to do things.

Hence, free will is a false concept. Our decisions are always and will forever be, manipulated by others.

But if we are totally controlled by free will, there would be no way we can make a decision in life. There would be no experiences for us to draw on, simply our imagination and cognitive abilities.

Thus, I say forget about free will. Let people affect, change and manipulate me as much as possible. That way I can learn, and use their knowledge for my own.

Dreams,

I was watching glee the other day, when I saw Damian Mcginity, one of the winners on the glee project appearing on the show as a central character.

I could see that he was still inexperienced in terms of his acting skills compared to the other actors and actresses who were obviously more mature in their abilities.

But what really struck me was that his dreams came through. He got what he wanted to achieve.

It's things like this that motivates me to push through. Of course, I do not know about his ultimate wish, but if glee was the means to his objective, he is one step closer to his goal.

Black Hawk Down

The Black Hawk is a US military helicopter that is used in various battle fields for various reasons which I don't really know besides transporting troops and acting as a scout.

Black Hawk Down is a show about an operation in which the Black Hawk got shot down and the troops were sent in to protect and secure the helicopter and save whoever was trapped inside. 19 soldiers died in this operation.

They died for many different reasons. Those that were highlighted in the movie were that they died because they protecting their friends. Running out to pull them into cover, going to the field to protect them from the enemy.

Those events really made me think. Could I do the same thing if I was them?

Perhaps

Being ill does has its uses after all. It lowers the level of tolerance that a person has for just about everything and makes them more easily pissed.

I enjoy

My solitary moments in the bus. When I sit down, ears filled with music from earphones, eyes staring off into space.

I do like being alone.

But there are times when I need my friends. Or times even when I feel like being quiet, I still go loud and hang out with them. Perhaps it is because of the fact that I can proactive in a relationship that at times people do not think that I hate being sociable.

I do not exist to make others comfortable, I do not talk to make others happy. Sure, I do it sometimes cause I like to see people laugh.

But I do not do it for you. When I sound serious or quiet or less happy, it does not mean I am angry. Its just that there are people who are like this too.

In the end, people are too selfish to see what others really are. They can only see how they are affected by your actions, and not why or what they really are.

Of course, I'm talking about myself too.

Madness?

If a crazy person exclaims that he is crazy, what does that mean?

A) He is actually realises that he is crazy. But if he does realise it, does that mean he is crazy...?

B) He became normal. A crazy person who behaves crazily probably thinks that being crazy is normal. Hence by behaving normally, he thinks he is crazy.

C) He is behaving so crazily that even he can't take it.

I suppose

That things become less stressful when you have lesser expectations. But when you have lesser expectations, you have less quality.

However, over the period of this holiday, I realise that this is not true. Expecting less does not necessarily equate to a worse standard. Sometimes, without the stress element, people can produce better results.

The program might not be as creative, but it could be much more effective. And sometimes, you simply have to trust. Believe, but not blindly. Give them space, show them confidence and offer some help. Don't just push impossible expectations on them. Lower it, and help them achieve the target as well.

Its best to work with the skills and capabilities of your team and push them to improve their abilities on the way.

Meeting Ups

The more I meet up with my friends, the older I realise I've become. In the past I only met friends for playing games. Now, maybe for just talking.

It's just a personal opinion,

But I think insults and lowering someone's self esteem for the sake of their development, is severely underlooked.

Its true that people feel more motivated to learn if they are complimented, but the people who find success are those who have been through some hard times. If someone is used to going through difficult issues and plows his way through them, won't it be better?

By teaching with lots of motivation and love, would it actually be derimental to them in the future?

Tough love works. It has to fulfill several conditions to work at times, but it does work. The insults and violent projections does not make you crazy too. At least I'm not that crazy. And I've seen people who've been through worse but is still one of the nicest people I've ever seen.

But why do people only promote classical conditioning as a strategy? Because its scientifically proven? Or maybe its that it feels better to be complimented. Even though it feels the best to succeed at the end.

As Children

Are born, they begin learning many things at an extremely extensive rate. Some of this things fostered by the stimuli from their environment, and others taught purposefully by adults.

For instance, parents teach children how to use language. Saying specific words or sentences for their children to pick up and use. Words like "ma-mum" (eating/food) and This is sparta!"

There can be 2 reasons why an adult would teach children something.

1) For the child. To improve their development, or perhaps to test and understand their current developmental stage.

2) For themselves. A.K.A their amusement.

It really pisses me off since the reason most of times falls under number 2. Even though the child do benefit developmentally after all, the attitude of the adults can be pretty sickening. Teaching them something that simply amuses others as if they were some form of a toy.

That being said, you should totally ask a child, if you do have one, to attempt and pronounce the word, "firetruck". To test the physical abilites and stage of the coordination of their tongue muscles. Especially if they just started to use words.

I first

Started blogging back when I was in Primary School. It used to be the in thing then. My sister and brother in law were doing it and so I thought that I want to do it too.

Hence I did.

I blogged about the things that happened in my everyday life, as if people would want to know about it. It was alarmingly disturbing. Moreover, I was into Naruto then, and hence the site name. Pretty lame.

As I went into secondary school, I started to want people to read about my blog. We started to link each other, post things on each other's tagboard. It was the only reason I actually visited my own blog too. Weird.

Still, after being spammed by unknown sources it was removed.

Subsequently, my blog posts became more about ideas that I needed to get out of my system. A place where I can pin my own thoughts. By then, blogging became less popular, but I found that I didn't really care. I just wanted to write something. It became a routine. It became relaxing.

When I read my old blog posts, it felt disturbing gay, disgusting, funny and learning.

Micro-blogging is really popular now. People saying things that no one really care about for all to see. Businesses and celebrities use it as a way to market and publicise themselves to the international public.

So I wonder, what are the main reasons for having a blog?

Amusement? Business? Fame? Popularity? Or maybe a silent hope that someone who cares is actually reading it. Someone that maybe feels actually what we feel.(But honestly, just talk to someone about it.)

I wonder.

But I do know that if this thing still exists 10 years from now, when I read this damn post, I'll be pretty disgusted with myself.

Hahaha.

Spending

Time at my mom's workplace usually means that I'll be working alone. Which encourages my mind to stray and think.

There are a ton of things that I'd like to talk about but none of those really appropriate to mention on the media. But I can say that the more I think, the more I realise how drastic and powerful perception really is.

It makes everything more beautiful and evil at the same time. It makes everything so similar, but yet so different.

I don't really like it. It made certain things really difficult. Without making things seem positively interesting.

Times

In my life, I said that I would not to do many, many things. Some of them are important, some of them is life changing and some of them have no specific purpose at all.

Among them, I did plenty of those things that I said I would never do. Or rather, I thought I wouldn't. Still, you know when you simply have to take one for the team. Sacrifice a little something to gain so many more for everyone else.

However, I did do a few things things which are actually very important. I did do a few things that would leave a deep mark in my life.

Maybe I did them because I had to. Or maybe they were done without my concious knowledge. But if you did do it, and what happened wasn't what you intended, what would you do?

Eggs

are delicious. It can be cooked in many different ways too. Scrambled, omelette, poached, soft boiled, hard boiled, pancake looking, etc.

Personally, I like all of them.

But scrambling eggs seems the most fun to do. And I can never make one that is frigging awesome.

Hence, I did a little bit of research as a result of procrastination from doing work. Conventionally, I put milk into my egg. It makes it a little sweeter and more creamy than the usual kind.

But there are people who put water in it. There are people who put none of those in it too.

At some point,

People would find that they are going to face some problems. Once they realise this, certain things can happen.

1) Prepare yourself mentally and physically to solve the problem.
2) Instead of moving down the path which might lead to the issue you are going to face, find another path.
3) Pretend you never found the problem and go on anyway.
4) Pretend that you actually have a solution, knowing that your solution does not solve anything at all.

It can be pretty scary how people do not want to face the problem when they know it's gonna bite their ass soon. It can be scary how they are able to lie to themselves that it is going to be alright.

Of course, it's not as if the first 2 methods are the best either.

1) Can cause you to face a problem that you might not be able to solve.

2) Can lead you away from what would be the best result with some difficulty.

So ultimately, what would you do?

Crisis

They say that in a crisis, they see the true faces of people.

But what if its a crisis, but not a real crisis? You can tell a lot of things about people too.

The ones who ignore the threat. The ones who pretend to ignore the threat but is actually freaking out over it. The ones who tries to make it worse and lastly, the ones who ran away because of it.

Overkill

Sometimes when you do things, it's hard to realise if you've overkilled it. Especially if you really enjoy, or is super passionate about it.

Even if you aren't a perfectionist, sometimes its not hard to realise that you've just done too much.

For example, setting up an awesome party. But in this case, too much is actually good.

Fear

Sometimes, I hear people say that I am confident. That somehow I just seem to be able to do things out of my comfort zone.

Obviously, that is not true.

Everytime I plan an event, I fear I will screw up. Every time I implemented a lesson I fear the children will go crazy. Every time I did something in public view, I fear that I will screw up.

The only thing is that; I do it anyway.

It's mostly because I know I have to. That it's necessary for a greater benefit. That if I suceed, everything will be fine.

It's not that I have confidence, or that I do not fear. It's definitely not that I have courage.

It's that I swallow my fears and say, "just do it" and "nothing is impossible"

Archives

So I had this random thought when I was in the middle of a bbm. Has my posts exceeded Leon's total blog post count yet?

You see, Leon blogged almost every single day back then, so his post count soared pretty high. But anyway, I didn't.

Which brought me to my second point. Even though I didn't post so often, I still have a considerable amount of blog posts which means... I started blogging a long time ago. To be exact, my first blog post started when I was in Primary 4, thats back in 2002. Being the lazy kid I was, I never blogged. Currently, my blog archive starts at 2006.

5 years. That's pretty shit ass awesome.

That being said, I won't recommend reading the early posts. They are pretty mind blowing.

Self

The policemen are really nice people. They spend their time protecting the locals, catching thieves, ensure the safety of the citizens and sometimes, generally simply being there.

Of course, there are corrupt policemen who work and cause harm so that they can earn more money. Some people would say that they are self-centered.

But why are non-corrupt policemen not self-centered? Because they aren't doing it to make themselves feel good, brave and better to help other people?

Perhaps.

But I think not.

I think having a strong sense of self is why humans are so effective.

"God helps those who help themselves."

This is one of the quotes that is related to religion that cannot be found in the bible. It originated from Benjamin Franklin, one of the founders of the United states of America.

It is said that no matter what happens, god eventually will find a way to help you no matter what happens.

Expecting

It's kind of sickenining when you have too high expectations of yourself. You never seem to do anything that is good enough. You never really feel proud of your work. You constantly ask for more.

From another perspective, you can say that its being ambitious. At the very least, you will have a goal.

Expectations constantly increases too. For a time I might have a simpler goal. Just as I am about to reach it, I would set a higher one for myself. The time I can fulfill my expectations is when I underestimate, or am unclear of what is going to happen.

But it's not a bad thing if you do not need the product to keep you motivated. The process of pushing and learning and improving seems to be more crucial than what you get in the end. Others can judge if its good for all I care.

I just want to reach my goal. And do even more.

Advicing

I do not like to give advice. When someone follows your advice and someway or another ends up in trouble, it would make it appear as if it is your fault. So instead, I prefer to offer a new perspective.

Offering a new perspective, for example, would be me telling people what I would do if I were them. The things that would consider, the approach I would use. The sacrifices that would be made. From there, they can analyse if my point suits them, and act accordingly.

When people ask for advice, they are asking for help, for a solution. It is important that you do not suggest they follow your advice, but consider it as an option.

Besides, decisions should be made based on their own thoughts. That is how a person grow. By making mistakes, learning from them and generally not doing the same dumb thing again. If it worked, its not because they followed your advice but because your approach suits their style of work.

I hate giving people advice. It stops them from learning.

With Regards,

Blog

Ever since I got a smartphone I started to blog more on the bus than at home. In fact, I never wrote anything at home anymore.

I also started to write a little more. It felt pretty good too. Been a while since I wrote some kind of a story. At least it made a lot more sense.

Have fun.

People

In our lives, we are exposed to many different people. Some of them, we meet. Some of them, we don't. But sometimes, unless they are our friend - even if they are our friends, we fail to recognise that they are humans. As in, they have needs.

One classic example would be meeting a celebrity. We see them on TV all the time. Acting, moving, being different personas in different shows. If they didn't eat, we often wouldn't think that they need food at all.

Another example would be teachers. We often see teachers as someone superior and powerful. Almost as if they are an otherworldly being that has so much knowledge. But when you know a part of your teacher's personal life, it just seems weird.

It makes people so intolerable at times. Its makes them forget that they know other people who affects their lives the same way your loved ones do to you.

We forget that our boss needs to answer to their boss so that they can keep their jobs. They are not just the only ones doing it to you.

So please. Make their lives a little easier. It might just make yours easier too. They are still human after all.

Have fun.

"Some people are smart. Some people are intelligent. Some smart people are not very intelligent. Some intelligent people are not very smart. But the really clever ones are smart enough to know when to be intelligent and when to dumb down.And the best thing is....... we didn't need to go to school to learn this. :)"

This was what my teacher said on facebook.

And I was like, "I want to create a centre which can show people how to do this."

Habits

I have this... Thing where I refer certain types of people as older brothers and sisters. Perhaps its the way they dress, or maybe just the way they carry themselves.

It gets kind of weird as you get older, cause this habit doesn't really stop.

In the first year of polytechnic its still fine. There are mostly older sisters and brothers after all. But when you're a year 3 and you call them, "gor gor" and "jie jie" it gets sort of disturbing...

It's true. But I can't help it.

Yet anyway.

Phobic

A while back, I came upon the term known as commitment phobic. It made think a lot, and from time to time, ponder about myself.

Commitment phobic talks about fear of devoting yourself into something. This does not have to apply to romance, but in terms of school and work as well. It is a paradoxical relationship. The object of commitment is usually something you crave but fear ar the same time.

One thing I really thought of, was what do you do, if someone you know or better yet, someone you love is commitment phobic?

Do you become more understanding? More patient? More loving? But those aren't real solutions right? There is a limit for those things. Besides, it's not an actual action.

Some people could be more persistent, others could be more forgiving. Perhaps it depends on the moment, depending on what they really need.

But in the end, you sure as hell need to do something about it.

Assortment

After living for so long I've had my fair share of dreams.

Nice dreams, dreams of an adventure, dreams of me getting my ass kicked and vice versa, scary but exciting dreams, dreams about nice ghosts and those who freaked me out.

And the list goes on.

But what I wanted to talk about were the after effects of the dreams. Sometimes they make me happy. Sometimes they make me thrilled.

Sometimes they make me thought that the sheer absurdity of the dream is so awesome that I had to jot it down.

And a rare few times, I felt like shit when I woke up. Sure, the dream was so fucking great. But I wasn't supposed to dream that.

Sometimes they made me a little more brave. Like how I had to devise a way to coax myself to sleep after nightmares. That was pretty awesome.

And sometimes, even rarely, but they do - come true too.

Have fun

Human Rights

are bullshit.

The rights of human is something like trying to be fair to everyone. It's impossible. To quote a line that I've heard, "Being fair is not treating everyone equally, but giving everyone what they need."

And what everyone needs is different.

Hence Human Rights should be different. For everyone.

In a 1st World Country, basic rights like shelter, food and water are meaningless. These are things that citizens of the country would be given or can obtain even without a list like this.

But they do have other needs. The right to be given the opportunity to work for what they want. Doesn't that sound like something which should strive for on their own? Completing their own dreams?

Human Rights are bullshit.

The only right a human should ever have is the right to have what they are entitled to. This could be from inheritance, from choice, from seniors, from love or from the results of hard labour.

The right to be treated equally is something that people over the years of history have strived to obtained. It is their right to be given what they wanted when they suceeded.

Having human rights is to have a chance to work for what we wish.

Have fun.

Zombies

I had a really awesome dream today. A dream about a zombie apocalypse.

It had when I was in NP, in this room with sliding glass doors. Suddenly zombies were running down the corridor, chasing some people who were screaming. All of us stared at the carnage, stunned. None of us moved as we saw zombies chomping on students, tearing their intestines out of the bodies.

It felt like hours when I finally acted. I pointed to the door and my friends immediately when up and made sure they were locked and shut. However, there was a survivor who noticed us and tried to came into our room. He failed, being pulled away by the drooling zombies before he could make it through the door. The dumbass brought the attention of the zombies to us. Before long, the zombies tore down the glass doors and came at us.

And this was only scene one. Pretty awesome isn't it.

Have fun.

Osama

So apparently, a bunch of soldiers from the United States killed this guy.

The head of Al Qaeda. Funny how the planet is celebrating his death. As if killing is a great thing to do. Not that I mind, really, but I thought the entire purpose was to stop him from terrorizing.

It feels like a kid that punched someone simply because he punched him.

I hope they do realise that all they just pissed them off.

Just because a leader is dead doesn't make they won't have a replacement leader.

Updating

In technology. So I got a new phone that has what I call a 24hr msn. Works to keep me occupied sometimes. Actually, most of the time.

Also lets me blog too. I don't think I have to bring a laptop to school anymore.

Only thing is that I made some pretty embarrasing spelling errors with it.

But still, I like my old phone. So much simpler. I don't rely on it so much too. Plus, it has been with me for 2 years. But I can't deny how useful this new phone is to me. It's awesome.

Have fun.

Curry

Among all the dishes that I've seen/eaten, curry seems like one of the best dishes ever.

Curry is a really common dish (at least in Singapore). It's spicy, rich and has this distinctive and fragrance taste that makes it different from everything else. But even though it is curry, there are so many types of it around the world.

There's the Chinese kind of curry, which is more fragrant and spicy.
There's the Indian style, which is spicy as hell.
There's the Japanese curry, which actually tastes sweet.

They're all different, but they all taste the same. Sort of the same at least, otherwise how do we identify them as curry, right?

It's interesting how the same thing can be different in so many ways. Kind of like religion, people and martial arts.

Have fun.

Perfection

It is said that there is a single time in the life of an artist where they will now that now, is the time they can create their best masterpiece. They will go into this mode where they just blank out, and create their work with the utmost concentration and skill.

It is said that after they complete such a masterpiece, they know, that they will not be able to create something more awesome than that and hence, lose interest in creating new pieces of art.

I know I'm still young.

But seriously. I have no idea how the hell I'm going to top the birthday preparations that I'm doing for this year.

I know right.

Have fun.

2011-04-05T22:11:00.002+08:00

Flexibility

There are stories that tells people that is bad to judge people. It is bad to judge people by their appearance. After all, people might not behave they way you think they do.

Someone who dresses like a slut could be the sweetest person in the world. Someone who has a scar across his face doesn't mean he's a brute. Someone who is violent doesn't that he/she is not gentle.

Someone who behaves like an asshole 90% of the time can also mean that he is caring in the other 10%.

But I say, it is stupid to not to judge.

To judge someone by their appearance is to guess what kind of a person they are. If you do not judge a person by their appearance, it could be pretty dangerous.

For example, if someone who is holding a knife with blood, you'll judge that he is a dangerous person.

If you choose not to judge him, and give him a chance to explain to explain his knife, well. It could be too late.

To judge someone is not wrong. It gives you an insight of what to do. Of how to help your friends who are sincerely not good at something (Judging that they are bad at tennis, etc) or how they can help you (Judging those who likes tennis to teach you).

To not judge someone would be pretty stupid. Imagine getting someone who hates tennis with a vengeance to teach it to you.

The key, I think, is to be flexible. When you judge someone, know what you think they are. However, when you learn something new, change your perception.

For example, the man holding the knife comes aand asks you to call the ambulance. This could mean that he is trying to help someone who is injured. Hence, he's probably not dangerous.

It's fine to judge and be judged. Just be ready to change your opinions.

Have fun.

Top of my lungs

Recently, after getting my pay, I bought all the 3 Maroon 5 albums. Since then I've been plugging my ear piece into the laptop and listening to their music.

Then again, that what I do with all the new albums I got. Except that this one, I particularly enjoy singing very loudly while listening to them. Interesting, but I do not know why.

There's much more kick into singing to Maroon 5. It's awesome.

Limitations

When I was a kid, I believed that nothing was impossible. I seriously thought that so as long as I trained hard enough, I could probably break a concrete wall with one solid punch. I believed that I could lift a plane with my arms. I believed that anything can be done so as long as I put my mind to it.

Of course, eventually, as I got older, I realised that things aren't really that simple. No matter how much I train, the strength of my punches can never compete with a heavyweight. The reach of my arms (which is pretty short) can never increase.

Slowly and slowly I found more things that I could not do. No matter how hard I tried.

I was discovering my limits. Slowly and reluctantly, but for sure, I was learning about the limits of things that I could do.

But seriously. Isn't the entire point to challenge your limits?

Have fun.

I think

That sadness, is extremely underrated.

I like feeling sad.

When I feel sad, everything is peaceful and quiet. Mostly because it encourages me to block out everything without feeling guilty.

When I feel sad, I can focus my thoughts. I can think straight, and just focus on one thing for long time. Even if all it does makes me feel a little worse.

When I feel sad, it reminds me of how great it is to be really happy. The most important point I guess.

Gentlemen

have a set of rules. Or a specific set of codes that differ from the "average" man.

Gentlemen have things that only a gentlemen do.

According to urban dictionary (I know, I actually searched for it. <_<), Urban Dictionary: Gentlemen

Hence, there are things that a gentlemen does and things that they do not do.

I once heard someone say that "Pool" (billard, that sort of thing) is a gentlemen's game. I agree. Only in the old contexts, of course.

Still, if pool is a gentlemen's game, I have to say that "Boxing" is a gentlemen's sport.

A boxer is someone that is calm (in a sense), have a type of "aura", able to plan quick strategies and think for himself, someone that fights according to his rules/philosophies and someone who trains himself.

No matter how I look at it, a real boxer is a gentleman.

Look at this guy:

A GENTLEMAN.

It's true.

If you're having doubts if you are a real gentleman, just ask yourself one thing. Do you have a moustache like Mr. Dudley (the picture) does? If yes, chances are you are a real gentleman.

Profile

A while back, one of my teachers shared a particular link with us. This link is something like one of those weird questionaires from facebook; you answer a series of questions, they provide with a result that describes you.

I did a similar test on facebook before. I believed I got suitable answer then. Lets call it answer A.

When the teacher passed me the test, I did it again, not realising that it was actually the same as the old one. This one was more thorough though. However, the result that I got from it was different. It was answer "B".

I clicked the links to check out what the description to answer was. And it accurate. Fucking accurate actually.

Months later, I did it again. A too troublesome to explain story of why I did, but I did even though I remembered my "B" result.

But I got answer A anyway. So I went to read the description of answer A. And it was fucking accurate too.

How can both answer be actually correct? Answer A and B only has a small difference actually. Difference in the answer of a letter, and the percentage of that particular factor is also pretty low.

Which makes me wonder. Am I an inbetween? This means, depending on my mood, I could be effectively 2 different, but similar people?

Sounds pretty interesting.
