Strength & Weakness


By coincidence or was it a chain of happenings that things happens for a reason. Class cancelled today and I got home, finding out that my grandpa has a big blister on his toe, lucky I was home so I can bring him to consult the doctor. My cousin brother told me to spend everything wisely, only use when necessary and on the other hand, my mom forwarded an email to me on how Warren Buffet view things as well, it is the same concept.

And when I got in the car, bfm was having an interview that tells me how important it is to focus on your strengths and how important it is to be authentic and not to be an impostor. It feels so good just to be yourself when you are with your friends and family. Why fake when the true you is better?

Anyhow, Learn.
Anyway, Learn.
However, Learn.
Whatever, Learn.
Whoever, Learn.
Whenever, Learn.
Wherever, Learn.
All the time, Just Learn.

Learn all the time, adapt to the environment, not letting the environment adapting to you. That should be the easy way. When the environment adapts to you, it is either you're the universe or the another being more superior than you.

These conversation I speak to myself, and questions myself, shows to some certain people that I doubt their ability to do things, but in fact, the power to question myself comes with a cause which is a delay time of maybe 5 seconds.


Stages of conscious:
1. You don't know what you don't know.
2. You know what you don't know.
3. You know what you know.
4. You don't know what you know.

Guess which is the best stage to be in? Well, it depends on what would you like to become at the moment, or all the time.

Stage 1
You don't know what you don't know. The stage where I call it the super ignorant stage, this is the stage where I can say you don't give a **** to anything because you don't even know that you don't know. For example, you would not have known about anything about the cultures of a different society in another continent in the world other than your own. Therefore your knowledge of a certain matter is 0.

Stage 2
The 2nd stage, the you know what you don't know stage. The stage where you finally come to know of what other things you do not know. Simple, you find out what are the things you don't know, then it's the stage when you know those things that you don't know.

Stage 3
The 3rd stage where you know what you know. It is in your conscious mind that you know the things that you know. For example, while playing badminton, you keep in mind the skills that you know for example a smash. And you focus on the skill to smash. That's when you know what you know.

Stage 4
The 4th stage, this is the ultimate stage where things, skills, ideas, concepts, philosophies, creativity, 6th sense, reactions, have been implanted into the body and acted as a subconscious behavior and doing. Or it can also be some bad habits that keeps repeating itself.

War

No one likes to lose, neither do I.

Compromising, one will only do when one is satisfy with their own lives. Sometimes I do not understand, the utilitarian point of view, for the greater good we all should care for. But what about the minorities? In America, the minorities are well taken care of now, that's what I can see, but there are some that are being left out.

In Bangkok, protesters want the former prime minister back again, but why? In Malaysia, Mahathir was a good prime minister, but he stepped down to give chances to other people who would further enhance the future of Malaysians.

In Baghdad, war between terrorism happens, around the world there are terrorisms happening. There must be a reason why people retaliate. It is not because of fear that controls someone, it is because of respect. The respect for another human being to respect another is the key. Some define respect as you bow down to me, that's called respect. If that is so, I think we would have gone back to the Chinese dynasties.

Social issues have been raised, gender issues have been raised. Voices are being heard of now, changes are being made. But why do you want to resolve in war? Are you too full that you have nothing to do to get yourself into war? Social media is one of the ways that's getting the news over without boundaries, as that is what I know in Malaysia.

There's a voice from malaysiakini that speaks of the issues that were somehow, not disclosed by the government throughly, but how true is the news? How true are the news you hear from the media? Even the financial news there's this hidden corporate management until there's whistle blowing from one of the loyal employees that wants to be heard.

North and South Korea? For the greater good of its people...

Good day, God bless planet earth. If aliens invade earth, everyone will be fucked up by then.

Business Ethics

"I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause. The example of great and pure characters is the only thing that can product fine ideas and noble deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always tempts its owners irresistibly to abuse it.

Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus , or Gandhi armed with them money-bags of Carnegie?"
(Einstein, 1949)


I just handed in my 1st business ethics assignment, and to my surprise, this subject is very philosophical, which is something I like, or to say I have found something that really interests me, although sometimes it bores me.. With the searches over the Internet, looking through books, I came over this quote by Albert Einstein.


Everything happens for a reason, doesn't it? I was suppose to be choosing International Law but instead the timetable clashed and therefore I chose business ethics, and surprisingly, my Law lecturer from year 1 was commencing the class. The topics discussed by her are so philosophical and it does take someone who reads and who has experienced or someone wanting and allowing the knowledge of philosophy to flow in. Crazy class, one of the mind blasting classes I've come acrossed.

--------------------------------------------------------

Judging someone too quickly without having to understand what is the person's intention.

What I mean by the statement above is that, sometimes you will tend to judge everyone by the cover. Eventhough you know the person well, you have already implanted the judgement of that person in you, no matter what situation comes across, you will already have the judgement in you.

Dangerously, if you judge someone too quickly.

That judgement you may have might produce an anti trust for you. In which it is dangerously because every moment you have already put the person on guard. Sometimes, you might unintentionally hurt the person. Hope this person you find is not your love ones. Because dangerously, you might have hurt his or her feelings.

Signing off, damn it's a Friday night and I'm at home.
This is so not productive, I find that is. ^^

Good day people, and have a great weekend ahead!
