Why Taking Picture is The Worst Thing You Can Do in Any Life Time Event

My sister’s wedding just went in a flash. I was enjoying the moment, now it’s gone. When we look back after a year or so, we’ll be like, “Wow! time traveled so fast.” Life is fleeting. Lots of events that happen now will not make sense after 1000’s of years, but it does make sense […]

One Second Everyday (Going Back in Time)

I remember wanting to capture memories everyday. I didn’t want to miss even a single day of my life. I used to watch old photos of my childhood and get very nostalgic. I could go back in time and enjoy that moment, even if it was just for a split second of time. I loved […]

The Urge: Do What You’re Supposed To Do Instead of What You Want To Do

I just finished writing a long blog post. Before writing the post, I felt like checking blog stats, e-mail and all. But Instead, I stopped and went back to write. And now, I’m happy that I wrote it. I didn’t feel like writing this either. I just opened up a text editor and started writing. […]

2013

I wanted to write a blog post about ‘Looking Back at 2013’ before 2014. But I missed it. I tried to explain everything that happened in 2013. So I couldn’t complete it on time. I chose interesting things that happened at 2013 and keep writing about it, instead of giving overview of what happened. I […]

2014 : How to Set Goals

It’s so easy to create list of goals you want to accomplish. I woke up today morning and brainstormed goals that I can set for 2014. I kept writing. Within 5 minutes, I had list of more than 15 goals. Honestly, it would be hard to tackle even 4 goals from there. It seems that […]

Why You are Less Likely to Achieve Your New Years Resolution

I’m usually an advocate of not keeping any new years resolution. It’s because we are less likely to accomplish any goals when we keep a specific date to start. Inspiration and motivation might hit you anytime, and it usually happens at random periods. If inspiration and motivation hits you today, then start right away. If […]

Befriend People Two Steps Ahead of You

It makes more sense to consult people who’ve recently been on the same road block as you are about to face, instead of consulting people who’ve already reached the top of ladder. I’d rather read and follow people I know and who I can help instead of following successful people who I can’t even get […]

Don’t Help!

When I was in school, I would never try to solve problems by myself. I had a friend who would do it for me. Every time I was stuck on a math problem and couldn’t do it, I’d simply go to my friend. With time, I didn’t bother trying to solve problems by myself. I […]

How Trying to Hide Your Failure Will Make You Unsuccessful

I didn’t publish a blog post this Friday. I felt really bad because I have been posting every Friday for more than a year. As soon as I missed this Friday, I felt guilty and bad. I had a mix of negative emotions all over my body. It was my goal to post every Friday […]

Why Comparison is the Biggest Enemy and Roadblock for Your Success

There’s only one reason why I have not able to grow to my full potential, and that’s comparison. The habit of comparing myself with others has significantly reduced my chances of growing to my full potential. While I was in school, I used to compare myself with my friends who were average at studies. During […]
