One of the worst kind of people

Woman: "Omg, I'm becoming so fat! All I do is eat & eat..."

Man: "Glad that you noticed, time to do some exercises, let's go jog at night!"

Woman: "Don't want la, so late & tired after work, where got time and energy. Still have to wake up early for work the next day."

Man: "I think it's just a matter of how badly you want it. If something is important to you, then you'll make time for it, you'll find that extra ounce of energy to make it happen."

Woman: "Ya la, ya la, I'm not as energetic, disciplined & determined as you."

Man: "... ... ..."

People who complain but refuse to do anything to change things for the better.

Paths

One lesson I recently learnt in life is that sometimes, all we need to do is to take that first step, and other paths will reveal themselves to you.

The number of paths varies among individuals. Some have more, others less.  & one thing I know for sure is that none will be easy, else it isn't worth taking. Of course there are easy ways out, like striking lottery or finding a wealthy & suitable significant other. But how many are truly so fortunate?

They always say, "better be late than never". I finally understood its real meaning. No matter how far, difficult and risky the path is, as long as it leads to where you want to be, take it. Even if it might take 5, 10 or 20 years, so be it. Because it is always better to start late and progress slow than to never start and not finish.

One example can be: you want to be a photographer, but have no confident that it can bring in a substantial amount of income as a profession because you have mouths to feed at home. Then take the long path. Keep this dream/passion/hobby close to your heart, devote 10% or whatever of your energy and time to it while spending the rest on a job that can keep things going. Few years down the road, when all become stable, with some savings, its never too late to relive that dream. The only time when it's too late is when we are dead. However, this is provided that if you still possess that passion and have the courage to pursuit it.

Cause you see, every time when we choose a path, we'll eventually get to a crossroad & then we'll have to choose again. And all these paths, they change people. So who you are now... Might not be who you think you'll be in the future. Nobody knows.

Ok just scribbling nonsense cause I can't sleep. Peace. Happy belated Valentines' Day.

The most important things in life.

Happy Lunar New Year everyone! I hope y'all had a great weekend, be it collecting 红包, gambling or traveling! & since a new year is sort of like a new beginning, I shall share with everyone what I feel are the most important things in life.

Coming in 1st place is definitely our Health & Well-being. Without good health, there is really very little we can do. Restrictions on certain food and activities can take away so much in life. As a matter of fact, it may also cause woes to people who care. So please take care of your health! I guess little needs to be said, we all know what are the good and the bad. If your health is already on the down side, then start doing the right thing from now on.

2nd place goes to Family and Friends! Of course I think family is more important than friends because let's face it, they are the ones who will be there when shit happens. & I know it's not the case for everybody, therefore I decided to have "friends" in 2nd place as well. With the right friends, people can go a long way. "The right friends" are hard to come by, but these choices are something only we can make ourselves. And when you find them, treat them well, like gems, because friendships require polish. The more you polish your friendships, the brighter they glow. & like gems, if you leave them just as they are, dust will settle, subdue the shine & eventually become as dull as a regular rock. Cherish the friendships you now have and consider rekindling those that once shone brightly.

3rd place goes to a good Job, a job that you enjoy, a job with good colleagues and maybe decent prospect. With a job like this, life will be so much easier. Do some calculation and you'll realise that we spend more than half of the time in our lives working. So choose a work that you won't dread going to when you wake up every morning. A job is also important because it provides us with income. That is why I believe that job is more important than money because if there is no job, there is no money. And a job keeps our mind engaged, which makes us feel alive, to a certain extent.

Lastly, and unfortunately, Romance had to come in 4th. Hahaha! Well, not exactly... Cause you see, without good health, it'd probably be hard for someone to fall for you. Even if there is, can you bear to let the woman/man you love worry about you everyday? So health, number 1. 

Next is Family & Friends. Remember that time when your girlfriend/boyfriend walked out on you? Who were the people there for you? I'm sorry if you had to go through it alone, but for most, I believe it's family and friends. 

Finally, Job. This is simple. No job, no money, no honey. FYI honey = romance. Just to add on, in our current age (era/time), sad, but the truth, a simple job is not enough to get you honey. You're going to need a good job, with good pay to get your honey. Cold hard truth. 

Well done if you managed to make it here, what a long wordy post! Haha! The above are just my 2 cents view :D have a goodnight everybody. Peace!
