Life Made Simple - the nuggets

Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Everything else is secondary.

- Steve Jobs


The first twenty years of our lives was honeymoon, generally speaking.
Some people had their honeymoon cut short because of financial reason.
But many of us had the opportunity to go to college or uni.

I myself had 23 years of honeymoon. Well, almost 24 if you include my 10 months stay inside my mum's tummy.

The moment we graduate, suddenly we have countless options, and a new sense of responsibility.

I think 9 out of 10 fresh grads that I meet will tell me at least one of these things
- I am not ready
- I don't know what to do next
- I don't know what I want to do in life
or..
- I guess I will just apply as (insert the profession), what else can I do?

The simple truth is,
We all have options, though not all of us have option of being 'not ready'.

And deep down, we always know what we want to become.
It's the doubt, and fear of losing or risking something, that stop us from following our heart and intuition.

The noise outside is often against the voice inside.
So if you always go by 'majority vote', it's unlikely you'll ever follow your heart.

So.. do consider uncle Steve's words.

This life is too short for us to live somebody else' life.

And remember this simple truth,
Deep down.. you already know what you truly want to become. Period.

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...

journal: a little update

wow I am actually back to this blog. between Apr 27 2018 and now.. what has happened? I officially proposed to my girlfriend (wah.. trust me you gonna miss that word), got married, and.. became a dad. yeah.. all in a matter of less than 2 years. now when you consider the fact that in 2015 I would not have the slightest idea how things would turn out, it just goes to show how life changes in a blink. How is married life? Well.. I am one of those who has pretty pragmatic view when it comes to marriage. I have seen enough to know that relationship is messy. So.. I must say marriage has been way way better than my expectation hah.. For example.. I knew that my wife is a smart woman. I knew some of her shortcoming too.. (and there are some I didn't know till we got married, of course) BUT... here's the big bonus. I didn't know she can be that adorably funny in her own way. Not funny like a standup comedian funny but.. you know.. she makes me laugh. Trust me....
