Life is about........

It’s been a very long time since I update my blog. I have poor time management and most of it because lack of discipline. Writing about discipline, I should practice more as I will be a teacher and of course I expect my future students to have a good discipline. I hate rules, and I read that rules are meant to be broken. Is it? But, discipline people usually a successful person.

Today, in my psychology class, we learnt about choice. ( I am a student training to be an English teacher, before this I have a degree in political science, but change my direction to go to teaching profession)

Before this, I used to think that for largely what happen to us not because of choice but because of circumstances force us to be.

Because of this topic, I asked a lot of questions to my lecturer. I gave her this situation, . say that I am driving in a highway and on that road, I saw a terrible accident and it’s not my choice to watch that horrible thing. Then my lecturer, Dr Tan, asked, what will you do after you saw that accident? And I said of course I will help. Then, Dr Tan answered, it’s your choice right?


Then Dr Tan said that Life partially determines by circumstances, but our choice will make the difference on how we get that thing. Like if I decide to help, then I will feel better in my heart, even that cost my time as I might be late for my meeting, but if my choice is to just look and ignore, it might do not cost me anything, but anyhow, it’s what my heart tell me to do and how my mind will perceived that situation either to follow my heart or mind.

I have a lot to write about this, I will continue soon.

Starting today, I want to start active writing back. Then, I can improve my writing skill too. J

What People Don’t Understand About Those Struggling with Low Self-Esteem

  Living with low self-esteem isn’t just a fleeting feeling of inadequacy—it’s a deep-rooted struggle that colors how someone sees themselves, others, and the world around them. For those who don’t experience it, it can be hard to understand the invisible challenges faced by people grappling with low self-esteem. These struggles go far beyond occasional self-doubt and affect every facet of life, from relationships to careers and personal well-being. 1. The Constant Inner Critic People with low self-esteem often live with a relentless inner critic. This voice magnifies every flaw, criticizes every decision, and makes even small mistakes feel monumental. To outsiders, this might look like perfectionism or overthinking, but it’s more than that. It’s a battle against self-doubt that can paralyze decision-making and sap joy from achievements. For example, a compliment might feel insincere or undeserved because their inner critic is quick to dismiss it. “They’re just being polite,” th...

Living with Low Self-Esteem: How It Affects Life Even at 42

  I am 42 this year, and I recently discovered something that my friend warned me about years ago. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but now, I realize how right they were. They told me, “If you don’t work on your self-esteem while you’re young, it will affect your life later on.” Well, here I am, 42, living proof of how true that statement is. I’m someone who has struggled with low self-esteem for most of my life, and it still lingers, affecting me in ways that I never imagined when I was younger. It’s not just an abstract feeling that you can ignore—it shows up in the small, everyday moments and, unfortunately, in some of the bigger ones too.
