Read to Write

Finally I pick up a new book, after so many months of hibernation.
When you run out of idea of what to write, it's time to read more.
I read this advise somewhere. Quite true.

So now I am reading John Maxwell's Road Map To Success.
It was a birthday present for me, years ago hah.
That's how bad a reader I am.
But at least there is improvement now heh.

It's a very..interesting book.
It asks questions that when you are 31 and you are not very sure how to answer,
you would start looking at yourself and realise a change has to take place.

At the same time, though..
I feel that I will never be a John Maxwell.
There are things I would apply.. and things I would not.

But overall.. a good book.
Especially for those who have been questioning things like..
How can I define success?
What is my purpose?
How to reach there?
etc etc etc..

And you are never too old to admit that you dunno the answer.
Coz I believe many people die at old age without knowing the answer too.

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

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...
