Changin' for the Better

Saturday, February 26, 2011
Well it may seem ridiculous to say that this coming Monday , 28th of Febuary 2011 is the actual start of year 2011 for me. I've been doing the wrong things or well I should say been bumming / playing a fool / and much more other crazy and stupid things that I've done in the previous year. Now I understand the importance of studying , so as the importance of time management. Failing a unit is the very last thing I would like to see on my score sheet and is the very first thing that I would like to avoid. And yes, I failed 2 units last year; 1 in first sem and another in the second. That horrible result really 'woke' me up not physically but mentally. I finally understand my mum's advise as to quiting DotA is for my own good. It's weird that I always think that I'm still at the age of 16 or so. Man, never knew that it was too old for me to play all those online games already. I'm already 20 this year and another 2 more fuckin' years I'll be working. Yeah working. If I don't start thinking and behaving like an adult, who's gonna wipe MA ass in the years to come? Working life is a total different thing, I've tried working for other people and HELL, it ain't easy.

So to accomadate my recent understanding to the outside world, I've learnt that life is not just a game. Its THE GAME! Everyone strive to becoming the best, and the weaker ones will eventually fall. Nobody would like to be on the losing side for sure! Losing a game for a game is nothing as there is always the Restart button that's waiting for us to hit at the very end of the game that we have lost. However, when we are talking about life game, there's not alot of chance that one could use the Reset button.

Reality is cruel, and I know if I screw up another unit in Uni I'll be totally fucked. Meaning that I'll be wasting another one more year to retake my units and having me to watch my friends graduating while im still in Uni is certainly not a fun thing.

In life one has to sacrifice a part of their usual habits in order to obtain a better outcome.
Therefore, I've decided to take immediate action by deleting my Warcraft III, Counter Strike and also put a stop to nightlife, such as clubbing and drinking sessions. It's easy for people to say that it's okay to play at times but most importantly one must divide time properly. I know I'm not a person whos good at dividing time, therefore putting a stop to all the above activities is a better way. Both 2011 and 2012 will be the time for me to strike back and put myself back on track. Nothing lesser than 2 Distinctions and 2 High Distinctions!

I know life's short and we gotta enjoy our life to the fullest, but at times enjoying life to the fullest causes us to over attach in doing things which eventually makes us do what we seldom do. That is what happened to me last year, over doing things...

Fortunately, I know who am I and what my goals are now. I've finally rediscovered myself through this failure. Failure is not the end of the world, but it's an alarming indication that a change for the better is needed!

PS: When you are honest, life will never fail you. :)

great achievements with less work...

Over and over again, we by mistake think that doing less makes us lazy which results in lack of productivity. Instead, doing less aid us to savour what we do achieve. We become skilled at doing less of what is irrelevant and engage in less self-defeating behaviour, so we craft a productive life that we truly feel good about.
