Random Notes – The Beginning

It's been quite some time since I last posted anything on my blog, the reason is simple, I am lazy. There are many things going through my head, sometimes more than what I would like, but I am too lazy to write about it. Each thought I have often deserve its own essay to fully explain the entirety, but I am bad at writing long stuff, so I end up abandoning halfway thru writing, thus nothing to post.

I still would like to share these random thoughts going through my head, as well as keep track of what I think about, so I'm starting the series of "Random Notes". Each time I have something to share, I would just throw a new post, it may be just a few sentence or so, but I think it'd be a pretty good idea. If you have any comments (agree/disagree/hate me), please do leave a comment on the posts, it'd be good for me to know, though I may not actually reply.

I have been compiling some of these random thoughts for a while (and lazy to write about them), so for the beginning of "Random Notes", here's all the stuff that I've thought of recently:

– Stay away from games. You tried so hard to get a life, again and again.

– Learn to let go. Don’t say/do just because you can or to show you are better. You don’t need to constantly prove that you are better. Doing/saying things to show you’re better may feel good, but it is pointless to go agitate others for no reason, and have their hatred directed at you.

– Keep quiet, talk only when necessary. Even though you may know everything, you do not need to say everything to impress; say the right thing at the right time: say only the crucial things.

– You do not need to constantly showcase your talents, in doing so, it often does the opposite, the need to keep churning new things just to impress people degrades the quality of what you show, and you may end up putting stupidity/ignorance/incompetency on display instead.

– Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; don’t be so fast to defend yourself when your flaws are pointed out, take time to analyze where the fault truly lies. You may be smart, but not perfect. Mistakes which are discovered can be rectified. Mistakes which are avoided/hidden ticks like a timed bomb, going off when it’s least expected, dealing drastic damage.

– Don’t take things personal. Things aren't always directed at you so don’t take it as a personal attack. Always stay objective.

– The strong and wise do not need approval or assurance from others. He is able to judge for himself the rights and wrongs – and appraise his own capability – yet not be arrogant or self blaming. That is why psychological homeostasis is important.

– I avoid making promises because of the fear of disappointment. By not saying it, there will be no expectations – hence no disappointments when it doesn't get done. But by not saying, practically nothing gets done.

– You who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.
