Includes doing what is traditionally female roles like house cleaning, raising kids. Traditionally female activities like dancing. I do blue collar jobs I watch Indian movies I learnt thai Listen to the old, talk to the equals and play with the young.
MoreLiving young isn’t about going to clubs when one is old. It’s about being foolish again.
MoreWhen I was a child, my friends around me proudly expressed how much they hated eating vegetables. I was quiet back then, and I couldn’t quite formulate sentences. But with retrospection as an adult now, I still remember exactly that I loved vegetables because it was alot easier eating them than eating meat. Also, it […]
MoreI had access to appraisal notes of leadership candidates, which included those describing me, when I landed the top job in a school curricular activity NCC (National Cadet Corp) back in secondary school. It was a unanimous observation among my predecessors that I preferred going about alone. I explain: the bullshit is real, ie the […]
MoreI learnt the piano for 11 years. Then I stopped for 17 years. Yet I was able to pick up again, upon relearning, from where I left off on my final attempt at learning Chopin’s Fantasie Impromptu. It is amazing how the human body works.
MoreWe probably have our own dominant definition in our heads at present. I think that weakness is a particular shortfall(s) among an individual’s strengths. Feeling lost in life despite tremendous wealth is a weakness. Diffidence despite good looks is a weakness. The list of weaknesses goes on. Note to self: it doesn’t hurt to uplift […]
MoreHubris to some, inspiration to some. To me, inspiration. Not to be overlooked are the principles of child-like innocence and of uplifting the weak. Otherwise I am as successful as Chatur, only.
MoreI literally play no games, at all. It adds fatigue onto an already tired mind and I figured it may be because problem solving both in games and in life uses the same faculties of the brain. Playing games would pile additional stress and boredom into the mind. Instead, I read, play the piano, run, […]
MoreThe statement in the title is really about satisfaction. The highest form of satisfaction is derived, from any activity, by production, not merely by consumption. To sit and read is the same as sitting and watching the television. Compare this with, for example, playing the piano. In order to consume a particular composition, you must […]
MoreI straddle a wide range of social strata. On one hand, I have a friend whose family’s address is in the prime shopping district in town. The family business is a private fund management of sorts and the advice dispensed to my friend is to learn how to invest in the family business. That way […]
MoreA specific socio-politico-economico-ally dictated education-to-work arrangement prevails in any given society, at any given point in time, of which its pervasiveness, that is its acceptance by the general public, more or less, is determined by the continuous tension between state power and public obedience. This socio-economic arrangement, however, even as observed in a comparison between […]
MoreFrom the ashes of the Great war rose an administration, supplanting military business, no less regimented itself, of schools and work places in which work ethics, taught and reinforced respectively, spread like The Great Plague. Its success is evidenced by mutterance, by not only a few, but by the present ageing generation and after, “I […]
MoreI am happy to have work and at the same time sad to have to work. Question at the top of my head all the time: how not to work when there is work.
MoreTherefore, I shan’t waste my time pursuing politics as a career since I can’t see myself as a great orator like Obama and Hitler, which’ll allow me to hold the country’s highest office. I have talent and I possess a set of skills that allows me to put myself right at the top elsewhere. Therefore, […]
MoreThat is bad attitude. I learnt this, ironically, from my best-friend-turned-enemy’s mum. For her furniture business whose turnover is at least $30k a day, she has the same sayisfaction between selling the $1000.00 wardrobe and the $8.00 pillow. Every little bit counts towards your attitude.
