lol i couldn't stop laughing!

I woke up to day and the first thought that came out was ... this life is going to be epic. That would be an awesome thought to wake up to everyday.

hmm, I don't know how this would fit into the article but its something I've learned the past few months of relfection.

Patience. And I'm not talking about being passive. I'm talking about realizing that certain things take time to brew. So if you are really keen on getting that thing that you want, realize that sometimes, its a process... :)

Ahahahaha!

Bonnie Tyler FTW. Not only is "Total Eclipse of the Heart" my colleagues' and my favorite karaoke song, the redux version kept us laughing for days... :P

Oh! This is really awesome and really interesting. I wonder what my Mandala will reveal. I think art therapy is really interesting.

I want to do this. :)

Great question.

For me, it is...

1) learning to truly understanding oneself - strengths, weaknesses, innate talents, learning to listen to intuition, re-learning what is truly important to me

2) Bringing out my best self - when I understand myself better, I treat myself better, I know how to deal with myself better, I deal with life and others better.... and I start making decisions based on the best of what I want and can genuinely offer the world

3) Giving back to the world - because I have a better understanding of who and I am and what I want, my life and time will be spent things I can love and be passionate about. When there is purpose, there is great output. And where there is great output, there are people who genuinely benefit. :)

Like many (hi everyone :D), I'm in the process of all this. What makes it exciting, despite certain set backs is knowing that "hey, I'm realizing things now that I didn't before and I'm asking myself questions now that I was afraid to ask myself before. Questions such as - what is important to me......really?"

I think Kevin Spacey really hit the spot - "There is not prize out there. The only prize is this one. And what you feel. And what you want to accomplish."

I think she drives a good point. And I think she is very brave.

But I also think she should give some credit to the current educational After all, its that very system that also helped cultivate her sharp mind and provided the tools to help develop such eloquence at a young age (Yes, she is very eloquent don't you think?).

To a certain extent, there are of elements in the current educational system which will benefit future students (we do have to study math, english, and science). BUT at the same time, yes, I strongly strongly agree that there's gotta be a change in the way the educational system looks at, develops, and evaluates students.

My high school self knew this. I remember having a conversation with my teacher on the educational system. One of the things I wanted back then were classes, or "free electives" where students were allowed to take classes more akin to their interests and talents - whether they were offered by the school or not.

They do it now in my alma mater.

I cant never watch this video enough. Its simple but it drives the point home....

It makes one think about why one is doing what he/she is doing. "What do you want to accomplish?" Its not about titles, or the bigger paycheck, or whatever other perks that come with an endeavor that makes a person..

This is a really awesome vid.

5. Quit the chit-chat

Call me whatever but I get irritated when people try to chit chat with me when I'm on "work productivity mode" ... I mean, heck, the story about last night's dream CAN WAIT RIGHT?
