I do not like it. The work seems endless and there are always new things come up to do. With work, life and family. And that i do not even put about my own personal life, my own time and friends. Wow, it is tiring and hectic. With work and age come responsibility. I put age because the older I get, the more responsibility I have. Like when I was young, my parents who took care of me, but now it is vice versa. I have to take care of my parents. It is not like my parents are not healthy or I have to support them, it just I have to make them happy and help whenever I can. It is time for me to repay back their kindness to me. then, lets talk about work. I am a teacher, supposedly my work is easy. But it is not. I do not come to class and talk and talk, I have to find ways to help my pupils understand my teaching and trust me to find the things, learn and make the teaching good is a lot more work than just teaching itself. Moreover the after teaching work also a lot. Luckily there are m...

 Do you bring your work home? For me, it is not a good idea, and as much as I hate bringing work home, I always find myself doing it again and again. And turn out I always unable to finish or even do the work that I've bringing back home. Ironic, isn't? But that is because I felt bad leaving the unfinish work at work and try hard to do it at home. But usually when I'm at home, I do not have any motivation to do my related work thing. But most of the times, I cannot help it. At work, I rarely eat because I prefer to do and finish my work, but still unable to finish it. The work is neverending. And by the time I'm arriving home, I'm too tired to face it again, even though I know I should. Thinking back, it is like school children, where I have homework to do at home. Is this how it supposed to be? Isn't this show that work has taken control of my life? I do not like that. Therefore, I've do somethings that are out of my job scope. I'm taking license ...

When I was in university, I’m counting the days, when can I finish my study so that I can stop study. I don’t think I hate study, I just tired of study. I wanted to finish study as soon as possible and find a job and earn money. Now Its been more than three years since I finish my study, and I found out, that there is no stop in learning. I cannot stop learning because if I do, I will not move forward and instead I move backward. No body wants to move backward. But the great thing learning after finish my degree, there is no paper examination where there are lecturers that will mark and grading my paper. It will be me, and the people around me that will be my judges, and I’m accountable to my own self. Thinking back, I think the later is much more scarier than the first. When study, there isn’t many things to think, but now, there are so many things to think and handle, and if I’m being ignorant and totally stop learning, I will miss out so many things and make silly decisions that wi...

The reason I like to read Dale Carnegie books or get lesson from him is because what he said is true and can be a lesson for me so that I can improve on myself. Once i wish that i will stop learning, because learning is a very tiring process, but now, i know learning is need to be done all the time, without stop. One of the way is to read a good book. I also like romance book, even though me myself still looking and waiting for romance. What I going to write is about what Dale Carnegie said is about Fundamental Techniques in Handling People, that are Don't criticize, condemn or complain. Give honest and sincere appreciation. Arouse in the other person an eager want. Have you ever met a person who like to criticize, condemn and even complain? For me, I have. In the law of attraction, if you criticize, condemn and complain, you will make more of the thing that you don't like. Example, when you complaining about not getting a parking space, you heart is in terrible mood. Th...

In my training to be a teacher, it wasn’t easy at all. Class start at 8 am, and I only arrived home at 7 pm and at night I need to do a lot of assignments. The word stress always come out from me and my friends So today, I will share something about stress. I got email about this matter and thought that I might share it as well. Stress" can often be a subjective term with many connotations, but most often it refers to the state of feeling pressured, rushed, overwhelmed, threatened, frightened or anxious. Stress can present itself in many different ways, but it can also be caused by many different events and situations - which will differ from person to person. Something that causes me stress may not bother you in the least, while something that I could handle just fine would throw you into a tailspin. It all depends on each individual's ability to handle the things that happen to them on a daily basis. However, we often have more than one cause of stress in our lives,...

Before, I wrote about life and choices, and my friend always talked about 90/10 principles and I just read it yesterday and I want to share with everyone. It’s by Stephen Covey : Discover the 90/10 principles It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations) What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plan will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%. How? …….. by your reaction, You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don’t let people fool you; YOU can control how you react. Let’s use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee o...
