Every little detail

Be mindful of every little detail. It is what shapes you.

The way you poise yourself, the posture you sit in the way you stand.

When you brush your teeth, feel the bristles and look at how the toothbrush is brushing tangentially and adjacently to each tooth. Think of nothing else, your teeth will be cleaner, you will feel better.

Slow down in pursuit of something. When slow is fast, where doing things hastily often slows down the whole process.

Live and spend this second wisely as you will never get this second back again.

I have just spent 6minutes and 4 seconds on this post for now. Be aware, okay its 6minutes and 30 seconds now. CIAO˜

Lost again..

Let’s get back on track.. what I want to achieve and what I think I am lacking.

1) TO live within my principles
Consistency is the key, never be complacent. For complacency breeds overconfidence. Be the tortoise, appreciate your success but never rest on your laurels and past glories.

What matters is now. For history does not always repeat itself and no one can predict the future. It is what you do now that you will look back on and it is what you do now that makes the future.

2) TO do every action with the mind for others
“The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn’t say anything, either the second or third. One morning I asked, “Do you have a fixed parking space? I’ve noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot.” To which he replied, “Since we’re here early we’ll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door. Don’t you think? Imagine my face. ” -http://zenhabits.net/slow-down-to-enjoy-life/

Always spare a thought for people out there. Your world would be a better place.

3) TO always live on the edge

No dreams is too big for a men to dream. Strive to remain calm whenever faced with adversity. Place yourself consistently out of your comfort zone, to improve and to excel.

4) Focus

Do it once, do it well. Give your best and your best shot only in whatever you aim to do. Even when you aim to be mediocre do it well and you will not be lost in transition. Be resilient and tough. Continue your drive and focus that is whatever you seek to achieve. Do not bow down to failures or obstacles where you know you can press reset button only when you choose to do so. You command your future and you determine how history is made.

Motivation / Drive / Perseverance?

Three things that will kill your energy, drain your motivation and derail you faster than anything are (1) tolerating things, (2) being incomplete on things and (3) procrastinating. These are the things that tip the balance, drain your energy, and make it so you don’t have the focus to accomplish your goals.

Indescribable Feeling

Contradictions.. too much..

Urge to get back to comfort zone..

Only way to grow is to be in the fucking wilderness and.. okay Barry you need to chill..

Take a chill pill.. Life’s too short to be EMO..

COMEON BARRY.. GET GOING =D!!!

Happy Birthday Barry

After 21 years of living I realize one thing that is constant/true/. Life is like a dick, sometimes it gets hard for no reason.

Yes, the emo wave just hit me since yesterday. I am not sure what, why and how. One possible explanation is that I didn’t revise enough for my test at all and realized how much I have lagged behind in my studies, and did really cui for test today.

Or maybe, I can feel my parents’ longing for me to get back home and celebrate my birthday with them. All their sons are out now, 2 in australia and 2 staying elsewhere. Hence maybe they are really missing their sons and one of them is me.

Or maybe, I just need someone really really close to talk to. Since young it has always been tough for me to entrust my trust to others. And I thought I do not need friends. I have already 4 close brothers, why bother to make friends when friendships are always so shallow and sometimes superficial?

Or maybe, I just need a girlfriend which many have pointed out. I do not believe in this point though, I believe its bullshit.

Or maybe, Today is just not one of my days where the stars are aligned in such a way where nothing is going to make me feel good or happy no matter how much I try or others try. Trust me, this is the first time sooo many different groups of friends celebrating my birthday. Yet, I do not really feel happy at all. I am not sure why.

After a talk with my bro. I felt happy again. Maybe is this familiarity and closeness we forged since young that manages to pull me together. So grateful to have him as my brother. May he be happy and safe in Australia =).

What matters most..

What matters most isn’t about the people whom have crushed your life today, but about the people whom you love most in your life, today, tomorrow and forever. (Never let negative externalities affect you)

It is not about living in your comfort zone and going only to places where everyone loves you. Face it this is not a dream but a reality. Be bold and courageous, you only get to live once. Nobody is going to laugh at you on your death bed.

It isn’t about blaming who stole the last cookie in the cookie jar. It is about ensuring the next batch of the last cookie will not get stolen again. (Solution)

It isn’t about regretting and worrying, it is about looking ahead. Turn your fear to useful energies where you concentrate on changing for the better.

It isn’t about not crying and feeling sadness on things, it is about not letting your emotions stick to you. It is not about rejecting the memory or experience, but accepting it. Learn from it, if not, move on. Your life doesn’t end here.

It is not about regretting or cursing him/her/them/it. It is about forgiving them and most importantly forgiving yourself.

One must see beyond their myopic views on things. Calm yourself down and think of the big picture. It will make the whole picture hell lot easier.

However, it is often easier said then done. Practice makes perfect. Slow down your breathing if it helps. Be aware of your breathing, every breath you take draws you nearer to your deathbed. Use them wisely.

Magnanimity

“The ability to control your emotions and actions in response to indignities done by others is becoming increasingly rare in today’s litigious society. Yet such control is at the very core of the principle of magnanimity. For a magnanimous person is one who rejects revenge and rises above anger while in pursuit of more worthy ends.”
-Every Day Greatness (Reader Digest).

I am very Disappointed in myself today. Got to change it. Barry you can change for the better. Be calm, better yourself.

“I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.”
-Booker T. Washington

Once lost, it could be lost forever. TRUST.

Trust is an important asset. Something that is earned through great deal of investment. It is earned over time.

Trust is the most treasured possession one can entrust. Once it is entrusted to, the beneficiary would be expected to strive their best to protect and cherish them.

Once the trust is stolen, the relationship with the person will never be the same again. It will be a painful and an arduous process to regain their assurance and faith. It is not the fear of entrusting it again, these highly sought after assets are too scarce to be given twice.

Once lost, it certainly could be lost forever.

Challenge
