Facts of life

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived.”

Can money buy happiness?

Money Money Money...everyone been talking about money ^^

Does money matter$ in life? Of course it does...but how much does it really matter?

Come to think of it, we can use it to make most of our troubles disappear. Sounds good!!! But money cannot literally buy happiness. It may help to cope with troubles that prevent us from being happy. In my belief, money can bring relief if the lack of it is causing stress. If a person is generally neurotic, unhappy and pessimistic, no amount of money will help in his/her life.

My earning is not as much as I expected which caused me stress. I do think of plans to get more moneys but eventually everything doesn't turn out the way I wanted. Obstacle is everywhere and I don't think I have determination to overcome them.

A windfall can also bring problems to people who don't know how to deal with money. To those who have lived from hand to mouth all their lives, unless they are intelligent about it, there is a tendency to fritter a windfall away. One has to know how to use money wisely, in order to make it work for them.

Agree?

Am I happier with money than I was without money, YES! I grew up poor. Which I remember those days with only RM10 for my whole family to spend on foods per day. Car which always out of petrol, stuck in the middle of the road. A bowl of mee for a family of four. Those were the days...


Life is getting way more better now but I still want more...as I still have student loan to pay off. There's few goals for me to fulfill and I will be a happy man if I able to get them done. ^^

Money:
Total Happiness? NO.
Most of the Happiness? YES, it can.

We need more than money for total happiness.
"Goal Fulfillment" is what we need to get total happiness.

Parking issue

Cyberjaya, Malaysia's first-ever "intelligent city" that forms the heart of the country's Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) initiative. And it used to be a Dream City to me with no traffic jam and it's really very peaceful.

But HELL no to me now. As traffic is getting heavy and parking bays were never sufficient to us at the first place has become worst.

Let's highlight those out, insufficient parking bays and expensive parking fees(RM350 for deposit), parking facilities that are too far away from the main office and those in places that are badly lit are some of the excuses motorist have given for parking their vehicles illegally along the main office areas.

Check out these links!

"INDISCRIMINATE parking is giving Selangor's intelligent city Cyberjaya a bad name. Something has to be done to control street parking which has gone completely out of control as irresponsible motorists park their vehicles just about everywhere, particularly at the corners of major..."

At first, they just have police to issue summons to those illegal parking area and now they start car towing. Sigh.

http://cyberjaya.name/noparking.htm

Everyday I was traveling from home in Subang to Cyberjaya, it's about 45km away and it takes me about 45minutes to get there in the morning. But it takes about an hour and a half for me to get back home as the jam was quite congested in the evenings.

And now I have to wake up at 6am and off to office at 7am to ensure that I get a parking spot. Regarding Park & Ride facility, is about 3-5km away. Obviously Cyberjaya authorities never considered us and forcing us to use this system by implementing a metered-parking system and towing our cars.

Can they imagine the distance of the Park & Ride area and condiser on our safety? How about the ladies? We might stay late for works... These could increase the crime rate in Cyberjaya.

Most properly I will work from home more often.

Foolish

I have a question for myself, can a guy who's ex became his best friend? I'm been waiting for years for her to fall for me and is time for me to open my eyes a little wider to the truth.

I dated her, whom I consider to be the woman of my dreams, for past few years. And I managed to have her for 10 months and then we broke up because of long distance relationship. We remained close friend since then and we have chances of getting back together but I mess it up. I think I'm a jerk after all. Regretted since that day.

It's been 1yrs plus since our break up, and we still friends but I still have strong feelings for her. She is now seeing a man, which I think she already started the relationship with him.

I'm seeing other women, but I'm still havin trouble getting her off my mind. In this past few months, I been thinking a lots and I might ultimately used as the "backup" guy.

Come to think straight now, being best friends with this girl is a big waste of my time. When I'm out, means I'm out. So, why am I hanging around all this time? She might like to use me as her sounding board, she been telling me about the new men in her life. Sigh. Thinking of all the women I could have dated in the past few years while this girl had 0% interest level to spend her whole life with me. I'm a fool.

Now, I'm reliazing something about her. She actually like to have new guys in her life as she been with a lots of guys before. And she likes bad guys because they're not boring? The sad truth is that she prefers a jerk to someone who crawls around on his hands and knees begging: "What would you like me to do next, my Queen?"

That's nothing I can do with the current situation, because she's not reacting to my emotionally at all. She likes this new guy because she just really likes him.

She doesn't know anything about me being the real deal deep down inside. She doesn't even care about me. She doesn't have feelings for me and that's the facts. She have feelings for her new boyfriend. That's why she kisses the other guy and she looks at me as a little whipped puppy dog. She and that guy are laughing at me and I'm getting it.

Remember guys, "When it's over, it's over".

Schedule up yourself

I wonder whether I have the ability to keep myself efficient. An useful tools like PDAs can be used for this. In order to align my busy schedule as it is on paper with the inexactitude of reality, adhere to the following tips for effective scheduling.

1. Clarified objectives
Carefully consider your objectives for events such as meetings beforehand, noting precisely what you want to accomplish and what questions you may need to ask. Doing so will allow you to allot the right amount of time to events in your schedule. When you arrive or, if possible, in advance of the appointment, clarify these objectives by making them known to others.

2. Punctual
Make it a priority to be on time and seek to develop a reputation for punctuality. Few reputations will precede you more effectively or say more good things about your professional persona than an adherence and dedication to punctuality. This doesn’t mean arriving exactly on the hour or demanding that others do so as well; rather, it’s a function of your reliability. It shows you can manage a busy schedule, that you respect the time and attention of others and that you insist upon the same.

3. Keep track
In his book How to Organize (Just About) Everything, author Peter Walsh offers the following advice: “Keep track of how much of your workweek you devote to appointments. If the amount exceeds 50%, evaluate whether other people’s agendas are overpowering yours.”

It can certainly happen, which is why Walsh also suggests that you make sure to include in your schedule time to work alone without intrusion.

4. Send confirmations
A schedule that includes meetings and appointments with other people takes a bit of control out of your hands and puts its efficiency in jeopardy. One step to take back some of that control is to send e-mail reminders the day before or the morning of in order to confirm your meetings with all those involved. It will also help you reschedule in the event of cancellations.

5. Be realistic
Time is the ultimate factor here, so making an unrealistic assessment of even one meeting or event can throw off the remainder of your schedule and, consequently, your entire day. Furthermore, while it would be nice to dispatch with certain unpleasant appointments quickly, you can’t make out your schedule this way. In other words, learn to schedule realistically, not ideally. Make an estimate on the time, then add 10% to 20% on top of that to allow for travel, drawn-out meetings, etc.

Fractions and Frictions of Eternity

Life desires love
Love hires life
Love inspires life
Life expires love
Life recreates love
Love creates life
Love impresses life
Life expresses love
Life tires love
Love fires life

So what?
Why so many lives lost for love?
Was there any love lost for life?
There was a Savior who lost His for love
Yeah, even a pure love for his people
But a phony one who wants to save all
For his love of power and glory came
And declared a great war in heaven
An eternal war of good and evil
The casualties were and are so great
And the loyalties firm to retaliate

Each time a man made his choice
Whether in plain or on sea's noise
These seemingly antonyms of old
With enmity from ancient foretold
One could receive a life eternal
While the other death infernal
One may use things to love people
The other use people to love things
But few can use both things and men
To feed their endless obsessions' den
Does this mean that man's choice a day
Will determine his eternal pathway?
Absolutely! Towards his own destiny
To cradle his life and love in continuity
With its fractions and frictions of eternity!
