Day +633 : Commonwealth Games



I am fine. My cough is getting less, the phlegm is also lesser. Hopefully by the next follow up in October, I have no more coughing.

I am following the news about Commonwealth Games in India, previously I stayed in Games Village at Bukit Jalil which housed for the Commonwealth Games in 1998.
'
The Commonwealth Games crunch in New Dehli, as the bridge collapsed, and unease about the housing & security arrangement. The luck just not with India at this time.

Day +611 : Better Life

This is amazing, he died of pancreatic cancer in 2008, but wrote a book ‘The last lecture” before then, one of the bestsellers in 2007. What a legacy to leave behind… In a letter to his wife Jai and his children, Dylan, Logan, and Chloe, he wrote this beautiful "guide to a better life" for his wife and children to follow.May you be blessed by his insight.


POINTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE
Personality:
1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
3. Don't over do; keep your limits
4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does
5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
6. Dream more while you are awake
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more
14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Community:
15. Call your family often
16. Each day give something good to others
17. Forgive everyone for everything 18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
19. Try to make at least three people smile each day
20. What other people think of you is none of your business
21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch.
Life:
22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do.
23. GOD heals everything
24. Do the right things
25. However good or bad a situation is, it will change
26. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
27. The best is yet to come
28. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful
29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it
30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy.
While you practice all of the above, share this knowledge with the people you love, people you school with, people you play with, people you work with and people you live with.Not only will it enrich YOUR life, but also that of those around you.

Day +303 : 聪明人必做的十件事 大前研一

聪明人必做的十件事 大前研一

一、储蓄友谊
 靠得住的友谊是今生最温暖的一件外套。 它是靠你的人品和性情打造的,一定要好好地珍惜它,如果到目前为止,还没有几笔,那么,从现在用心去储存还来得及。

二、学会放手
 这个年龄已经不允许不成熟,当你无力把握命运中的某种爱、某种缘、 某种现实,就要学会放手。给自己一个全新的开始,只要信心在,勇气就在;努力在,成功就在。

三、播种善良
 一定要极尽自己所能,让那些比你苦、比你难过的人感受到这世上的阳光和美丽。这样的善良常常是播种,在不经意间,就会开出最美丽的人性之花。

四、懂得音乐
 一定要学 or 懂一种乐器,它会洗涤你的身心,打开你的记忆和想象,更会带来意想不到的宁静。另外还有摄影、收藏,它们都能让我们的生活增添滋味。

五、避开两种苦!
 尘世间有两苦,一是得不到之苦,二是钟情之苦。 前者在你付诸努力的前提下,就把一切当作一场赌,胜之坦然,败之淡然,好在这年龄还有一定的资本得以卷土重来;至于后者可说是世间最苦,如果把这时还有这样的情愫? 一定要像清除灰尘般,把它从心屋里扫出去。

六、学会承受
 有些事情需要无声无息地忘记,经过一次,就长一次智慧; 有些苦痛和烦恼得要默默地承受;历炼一次;就丰富一次。这个年龄不该再像小时候那样大喊大叫,痛哭流涕。

七、常怀感恩心
 当我们参加完葬礼,总会涌起一些感慨;当我们大病初愈,总会有万般珍惜。感恩的心一定要时时保留,它不仅让你怜惜身边事物, 还能平抚欲望和争斗,甚至幸福的感觉也往往源自于此。
八、热爱工作
 尽管它不像喝茶、聊天那般惬意,但它检验着我们的智慧和能力,得以让我们体现价值及获得成就。一定要全心爱它,毕竟它让你大半生有事做、有饭吃。

九、勤于学习
 读书和学习都是在和智能聊天,每年至少要读五十本书, 它不仅保证你的记忆力、感悟力,还能让你维持个性魅力,这! 可是练瑜珈做美容所不能达到的效果。

十、享受运动
 善用时间运动、享受自然。 你的体重就不会因懒惰而上涨,你的容貌也不会因岁月而减少生动,在某种程度上更能保存青春、快乐与健康。
