Recently, I found out about that I’m easily tired all of sudden and I’m not that active I’m used too. It makes me worried. I also found that my weight has increased. This is not good. So I decided to start a new habit, an exercise. Hmm, who says exercise is easy. For the first few times, I felt so tired only after 10 minutes of exercising. But I felt more energetic and my mind seems to work faster and active, I like it. So I continue to do the same exercise. It become better each time.   Moreover, exercise produce endorphine. Endorphine makes you happy. Happy people would not kill their husband. These are my favourite lines from Legally Blond the movie. Well, it is indeed truth that exercise makes me happy. ISn’t that most of us are searching for ? Happiness? So here is the guide how to get happy fast. Exercise. I would so recommend jogging on the beach. It so peaceful and calm. I felt so relax after a jog at the beach. Luckily for me, beach isn’t too far from my place. Here is...

It is easy to forgive than to forget. Image from here   But I’ve heard a saying said that if I do not forget, that means I’m not yet forgive that person. Is it? I do not know, maybe there is a truth there. But it is not easy to forget something that is very hurtful, and that’s the reason I get angry and thus raising the need from the other party to ask for forgiveness. I’m afraid if I forgot about it, the same thing will happen again and I become hurt again. Thus, it become harder for me to forgive again. So, what should I do then?  To not forgive and letting go, I'm putting a lot of things at risk. Friendship, connection and family ties if it include families member. Too many things is being jeopardize. And as a Muslim myself, it is discouraged to shut off a connectionn beween people. Therefore, as hard as it is, I have to persuade myself to forgive and letting it go. I know the same things will be bound to happen again, and I have no choice, but to face it. But when the ...

CHOICES  Image from here When i was a kid, being the first is the best, getting the most is the best, and as i grown up, the ebst becaome harder to define and become the best has become impossible. Being a grown up, I know now that being the best isn't anything. It's not that I've been the best, and I do not remember if i ever being the best. I stop trying and feeling like a failure all the time. Self esteem is the lowest and I have no intention to improve myself whatsoever. But I just keep on walking. I keep on walking because I  had too. I realized now that I loss so much and become regret, and it does affected me in someway.  I wished that somebody will come to me, guide me and says that's ok. But turn out that person that I've been waiting for is inside of me. After all the guidance and education that I've been receivedd, I failed to realize that in order to choose the best, is to choose what is right for myself. What is right for me might not be righ...

When too many things come to you at the same time, how do you handle it? Example: You got a new task at work and that task is hard, require time, technology, money and cooperation from people. There is this festive season coming in and you know that you have to do a lot of things, choosing cloth to buy and wear, clean and beautify the house, the food, the vehicle had to be sure it is good. Friends  Sibling Somebody near you sick And the list continue. It become harder as in the process of all this, you had to make decision that you regret later, but because of the circumtances, you ahd to let go. What to do then? How about myself? Well, one thing I know that won't do good is sitting idly. things would never change if I do not take actions. Yes, the actions could be as simple as sweep the floor, but keep on. Keep on trying, put a smile on the face, even your heart is hurting, and then just keep on walking. I've heard that the things happen is because I chose it, an...

Do you know the important of saving? I do, but I do not exactly practiced it, until recently.  Maybe I do not realized how really important for me to do saving. This is the table that I got from reading Azizi Ali’s book  ‘ Millionaires are from a different planet’. The table shows how you can have a million ringgit assuming of 9% annual return every year. Age Monthly Savings (RM) Interest (%) Total Earnings (RM) 20 340 9 1 million 30 892 9 1 million 40 2,643 9 1 million 50 13,258 9 1 million But I’m 27 now… and I do not think I save that much amount of money every month. I’m 27, so the money I need to save is around 700 per month?.... wow, then I have to live frugally if I want to. That means, selling my car, and change to a more affordable car, finding a housemate, earn extra money, like doing tuition, writing, and maybe helps my father at the farm so he can give me some money....

One of my liking is starting something new, but having difficulties to continue it. I stop in the middle of it. This blog is an example. I just can continue to write anything in this blog, and yet, I decided to make a new one. But then I found out that I unable to maintain so many blogs at a time. So I decided to close the newest blog and continue and proceed with this blog. I found happiness in writing. I love seeing my articles being published even though no one reads it. I got a sense of accomplishment. One of the main reason because I having difficulties to voice out my opinion freely to people without making people uncomfortable. I guess, it just my feeling, but I cannot help it. But by writing, I can. It is so good to have an opinion of my own. Without the needs to be interfere by an outside interference. As much as I do not care, but judgment from people can easily be seen, and how much I want to deny it, it does affected  me. I find no other way to make me voice out wha...

A friend of mine said that I kind a person who can tolerate anything... kind a yes person. As difficult as I want to admit,  I guess at some point, she is right.A yes person, is not too good, isn't? I've been a subscriber to Jack Canfeild newsletter and today email, really shows why saying no is good too, in fact it shows reasons for me why I need to learn to say no.   There are only two words that will always lead you to success.  Those words are yes and no.  Undoubtedly, you’ve mastered saying yes.  So start practicing saying no.  Your goals depend on it!  If you are constantly saying yes to other people, then you are constantly saying no to yourself  and your goals .    Ask yourself if what is being requested of you is in line with your goals, will it benefit you in some way and bring you closer to your success, or will you simply be spending your time on someone else’s good opportunity? How much time do you waste with pr...
