Something To Ponder

Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man’s greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety.

John Kenneth Galbraith


All Motivation is self motivation. Your family, your boss or your co-workers can try to get your engine going, but until you decide what to accomplish, nothing will happen.

Seth Godin

“Competition is easier to accept if you realize it is not an act of aggression or abrasion. I’ve worked with my best friends in direct competition. Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it”.

Diane Sawyer : In a speech.


When you let someone else win an argument, often you both end up winners. If one of my children says, “you never spend any time with me,” my impulse might be responds, “but I spends lots of time with you. Don’t you remember just yesterday we went out to lunch?” what I have found, however is that my willing participation in the argument does nothing more than keep it alive by feeding with attention. Sometimes a better response is, “you’re right. I hope we’ll start spending more time together. I love you so much.”

Richard Carlson. Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff with Your Family

As a child, a library card takes you to exotic, faraway places. When you’re grown up, a credit card does it.
 Sam Ewing

People are pretty much alike. It’s only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.

Linda Ellerbee

There are 40 kinds of lunacy, but only one kind of common sense.

African Proverb

You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.

Impression of people is not always correct

Don't we always heard that the first impression is not always correct? But it also true that second, third and even after we know that a person for a long time, the impression we had in our mind about that particular person will not usually correct. Who am I to sayd about this? My mind telling me that. But it's freedom of expression. Is it something really annoying when you sees someone and that someone has bad expression of you? Well, but you cannot directly jump to that kind of conclusion. There must a reasons fro everything like maybe that person is ill during the time you saw him / her and that's why you got that kind of expression. My mom always taught me to think good of anything that you sees. Its much better and make your heart feel very easy instead of feeling hurt. And if you find something keep bother you and that make you feel hurt, try to ignore and let it go. Don't bother. why you should bother if that person doesn't bother?

Settle for minimal

This week, two of my friends, decided to start diet and out of sudden, I want to follow. So, starting this week, my nad my friends haven't touch rice. Well, I have eat rice twice, but my friend, zero. Ohh, dietting is so hard, but weirdly, I felt more energetic. I guess I'm going to stick with it so that I can achieve my dream boy. Jnegjengjeng. I cannot believe I talked about this because usually, I think it impossible to cut down on eating because I think I don't eat much. But still, I'm consider as fat. What I discover during this period is that I can still live goodly eventhough with lack of the things that I used to have. I'm kind a person who wants everything is there, is enough and I will be panic if my stuff is not enough and turn out its bad habit. I always ended up throw things at the end. Now, I wanted to live on a basic things. I think that will be good because I could save more and hopefully tae off same fat off my body. ;)

Frugality

In my quest to find how to be rich, to be financially independent, to be able to settel my loans fast, I discover, no magic formula, except that I found this harsh word that is FRUGALITY.  I have to live frugally in order to achieve my financial goals. That's goes my dreams to do so many things if I want to achieve my financial goals. It makes me felt very sad and burden. As much as I wan to do and have so many things, I have to delay it until I really stable. Thinking back, the loans that I have now already burdensome to me, I cannot adding more debts.  Then, the other important matter is discipline. It takes a lot of discipline to achieved my goals. But my questions is, should I sacrifice to the extent of making me feels miserable, as long as I follow this rule? Like example, I have a problem with housemate, so I decided to stay alone, and I know I save money more if I share, but it will make me miserable as my previous experiences has taught me very bitter experiences. ...
