Day +304 : Tired

Today I feel tired and breathless, one of the way to tackle this issue , is doing things at a very slow pace. I have absent the morning Qi Gong for the past one week.
Besides this, my vision seem to be affected as well, hard to focus.

Yesterday, one of my colleague's mother pass away, succumb to cancer as well. Last week, Osman gone due to big C, so life sometimes is really uncertain, you don;t know when you will be called. Take time to relax, spend more time with family.......

Day +303 ; Follow Up

My bloods count today on 25 August.Readings in square bracket [] are result from previous test.

Haemoglobin (HB) = 14.4[14.4] (Normal 13-18)
Platelet = 150[132] (Normal 150-450)
Total White Blood Count (WBC) = 13.3 [9.8] (Normal 4 - 11)

The Platelet have back to normal, however the Total WBC is elevated further from 10 to 13. I knew this due to steroid drug I am taking. I asked doctor what will the long term effect, the answer is the bone will become weaker. However based on the current dosage and the duration, it shall not impose this effect for the time being. Recommend me to consume calcium as supplement.

I told Dr Alan my current major issue is breathless especially at the morning time. Dr said there is no quick way to fix this, time will fix it. Expect 3 to 9 months, things will settle down.

Then I pose second question, my physical strength seem to fluctuate , sometimes good , sometimes extreme tired. How can I improve this ? EAT WELL & SLEEP WELL, and don't forget to do exercise, walking will help to improve my breathing.

My weight is still around 51kg. My plan to push up the weight to 57kg by year end need to be revised.

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。

Day +295 : Life

I am fine today.

Sometimes I get myself thinking how some people are luckier than me, how they are well-off, how some of them had better opportunities, better jobs, better lives. In other words, I am unconsciously comparing my lives with theirs. And I will find myself lacking in something, one way or the other. And that feeling of inadequacy leads me to a place called dissatisfaction. I am learning to see life in different perspective, hope this could make my life better. Always see the good side of life , will make you feel better. Share a story with you.

One day a father and his rich family took his young son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip? "Very good, Dad!""Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked."Yeah!" "And what did you learn?"The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars.
Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon.When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless. His son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are!"Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life, you've got everything!You can't buy any of these things.

"You can have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc., but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!"

Like we always said ..."The Grass is Always Greener ........"
