Success Means...

Saw a status of my friend from facebook today: What's the defination of success?

I suddenly have some thoughts in my mind about the meaning of this word.

Success has no meaning of ending. The most important thing is we have an aim or dream. Success is when we take our first step towards it. Success is by learning each step that you take. Success is living your life, to embark on the journey. To gain knowledge, to know what is good and what is not, to understand the place, the experience, the taste, the flavor, the beauty of it all. It is the ability to steer yourself to the aim; the dream. And to realize that what we have gained each step along the way, right or wrong, and learning from the experience is a success in itself.

As we move along the journey we call life, to fully appreciate each step we take. To be able to take in the moment, to not just move along like a zombie each day to achieve that aim/dream and forget to learn each step, to take in the moment, to appreciate the day, the beauty. To forget to learn from the experience that we took, to forget to grow out of the mistakes we've done, to neglect the basic needs of life itself. To forget to live. That's what some people call empty success, as one forgot to learn each experience in life. Success to me, is to be able to learn each step of the way, to remember how to live life, to experience what is there to experience, along each careful little step we take, and not lose aim of our dreams and aim. Dreams and aim could always slot in along the way as a filler to the ultimate aim/dreams. As we achieve all these filler dreams we should not forget to continue as this is not it yet.

So some people get their big cars, big house, big this and that along the way. Some people stop at these and think that this is their ultimate dream/aim. That they keep chasing this same dream that it might eat up their minds and forget to live as what they wish to want at the beginning. Big car or big house is just a symbolization of your status in this society. It's an improvement of your living but not success.

Action is the foundational key to all success. ~ Pablo Picasso

Silent All Night Long

It’s not that surprise to see each of the couple will have argument when in relationships but most of my friends agree that argument in relationship might is something good for the couple as from the argument they have, they will understand and know each other more.

Conflicts in relationships can arise for the smallest of reasons, but there’s a simple way to avoid hurting a partner emotionally. It may be no one’s fault or both your faults. But we really need to understand that arguments in a relationship doesn’t make one of you win, but actually makes both of you lose in love.

And I believe that if I really want to know how to deal with arguments in a relationship, I need to look right into the problem. Each couple is unique, and each partner has their own way of arguing in a relationship. But the apologies come on its way, too.

I don’t like arguing with people, I used to choose to be silent at all time. It’s better not to say a single word rather than you spread out everything in your mind without thinking rationally. So… I’M SILENT RIGHT NOW! ………….

It’s easy to start an argument, but no one really likes the pain.

I'm Working But I'm Not

I had a pretty nice drinking session with the owner of B@92 yesterday. He taught me something new and I think it's good for me to apply into my life. he said this to me, 'I'm working but I'm not! Do you get what I mean? Think about it!"

I always like to chat with those people with positive mind set because they can 'brain wash' me with some new thoughts. And this is what I had learnt lately...

I'M WORKING BUT I'M NOT!

The only difference in between human is their mind set. I feel satisfy with what I have right now in this moment and that’s why I’m happy. It’s just the same concept and theory that we can apply it into our job as well. Job is not a game but when you approach it like a game, you’ll enjoy it more and you’re more likely to be successful at it.

Of course, when most people are working, they are working for money. So the work is done as a means to an end. Even when you do something as a means to an end, you can learn to become absorbed in the work and forget about where it is getting you while you’re doing it.

I simply learn to become more engrossed in my work. Learn to “get into it.” YEAH! Make myself to have the feeling of ‘I’m working but I’m not’…

I personally think everyone should learn to enjoy their work. If your job is stressful or boring, however, becoming absorbed is difficult. If what you’ve got is stress, that means the challenge of your job, either physically or psychologically, is greater than your skills. The answer is to find out what skill you need to improve and work on that. Increase your skill. That’s the answer to stress.

At the other end of the spectrum is boredom. If your job is boring, you’ll have to find a way to make the work more challenging, interesting, or creative. It may take you a lot of thinking to figure out how to do that, but keep at it and you can find a way.

I’m finding a way to become absorbed. I’ll enjoy my work more. Get so engrossed in my work that I forget about everything else, like where it’s getting me. It’ll get me a lot further that way.

It's Another New Journey

“Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be...Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before.” ~ Erich Fromm

July is a good month to me, yea... it's gonna be my 'best' month of the year! Start working in a corporate company, learning and doing something new to me =) Ain't easy for me to work in a company because all these while I work as a freelancer. There's no words ofsuch as 'punch card' or 'office hour' in my life before.but it seems I can handle it pretty well and I kinda enjoy my new job nowadays.

Turning my life around can be very exciting and joyful and new ideas will appear any time anywhere. We have to learn to look at life in a positive life, see the blessing we have in our life.

I feel great when each day I wake up from my bed. Because I love my life now! Never feel that great before. Everything is just seems so good to me. My love, my work, my life, my friends... everything! God pampers me a lot this year and I will definitely appreciate what he gives me into my life. He has given my life such joy and new meaning.

It's time again for me to start another new chapter of journey and I decided to move on from my current role and try something new.

Meanwhile, I also start picking up dresses to do for my freelance fashion design job. I've read somewhere that nobody is great without work. It's nice to believe that if you find the field where you are naturally gifted, you will be great from day one.

Behind 50

Penang is just like a wine, the older it is, the more beautiful it is...Lately Penang Island is growing with small cafe business especially in Muntri Lane area.

50 Behind, this cool looking cafe get my attention successfully. It's rather to be unique as not that much cafe has this kind of concept yet and I can say this is a great place to have a drink with friends.

I found lots of retro decoration in this small little cafe and the combination with all these things together create a good effect of interior design.

Food and drinks come with the reasonable price as well =)

Surprised that found some of my photographer friends' photos. Some people are born with passion of art and they are definitely one of them.

The environment is kinda quite, very nice to chill up with friends over here.

Fall in love with this handmade Spoon Light! It's so creative yet so beautiful.

I found out it's so interesting about the menu as it comes inside story book. I can see the owner of this cafe had put so much effort to make this out.

No joke man.... this old record player is still functioning well and I enjoyed my Elvis Presley music played by this thinggy on that night so much. Although it is not as good as the super good qualoty hi-fi system but there's definitely something special about this player.

We can select songs that we love and play it ourself...

The Beef Spaghetti

Friend cheese ball

This cafe brings back me some nostalgic memories. I feel like I have stepped back to the old times when I came here...

What make me love Penang more and more... maybe this is one of the answer....
