Hold Your Tongue

It amuses me when people are so proud that they have a high IQ but they diss other people like nobody's business even over harmless comments. I can only say that they have such low EQ and this is bad coz we are, after all, part of a social circle where almost everyone has something to say, whether is it for the better or they're just saying out how they feel. Of course we don't always have to agree but why stoop so low as to call them names? 


Actually, what we hear from what others have to say may not be the real deal as they may just be following what the majority is saying so they kinda get misinformed about the true facts. Yes, they are ignorant and probably is better off getting the right information before mouthing off but they're no idiots. Just..misinformed. So the people who know the actual situation should actually get things right by sharing the right info and dispel the myths instead of criticizing this group and call them names.


I guess people need to learn to be more tolerant towards others and concentrate on making the society a better place to live in and be aware that not everyone is as fortunate as them. Some of them, especially those who like to make a big hoohaa over nitty gritty stuffs,  need to be in such eye opening situations where the living conditions are just so bad that getting clean and safe water is like a near impossible task. I think kids nowadays are just getting more and more pampered even though I would say they are far more intelligent too. It may seem like a harmless affair doing things for them or buying things for them but ultimately, we must know where to limit ourselves before these kids become spoiled brats when they grow up. Then, they will be such a nuisance to the society because they believe that in order for things to work for them, they need to change the world to suit them and not the other way round.

Before you mouth off, consider other people's feelings first and I know you don't really care especially if you of the strong opinion that you are right and others are wrong. Just think what if the tables are turned and you find yourself in sticky situations that you have difficulty getting out of and then you will know, that some things are not so easy to handle though it's easier said than done. Sure our mouth can say anything we want coz ultimately, it is our voice coming out of our mouth and not others. But surely, you can just hold your tongue first before you make ridiculous remarks that are so unjustified and unfair. 
 
I guess we're in such comfy situations that from we stand, we may not clearly understand the impact we have on others based on what we have said. Friendships may sour and we may gain more enemies than friends but if you prefer that kind of life, well that's your prerogative then.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
