Do you often experience heavy workload or even overload workload?? Or so-called deadline workload like the photo below??

Well, i often experience this.. If you agree with me, stand up and shout YES!! (while raising your hand up) ^o^

I’m a kind of postponer or procrastinator, ha ha ha!

I enjoy doing things right on the deadline.. wait wait wait! I think something is wrong, tight schedule makes me dying, and sometimes some work can only be done when I meet deadline day (that’s when the creativity mind comes to place…).. All these reasons appear to me as supporting ideas to my so long ‘unwanted but still owned’ habit as a procrastinator.

Then I realize one thing, Stephen R. Covey in his 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Habits_of_Highly_Effective_People), habit 3 says: First Thing First.. the main reason for heavy workload is because of a wrong priority in action/activity.

*If you always put your priority to do deadline/workload activity (activity quadrant 1 explained as activities that are urgent and important).. then you are always a disaster reliever (spend your whole life doing workload).

*If you do activities in advance (activity quadrant 2 explained as activities that are important but not urgent).. then you are a long term do-er

*If you do activities that comes to you immediately (activity quadrant 3 as activities that are urgent but not important).. then you are a 24hour customer service

*If you do activities that are totally useless (activity quadrant 4 as activities that are not urgent also not important).. then you are a life waste

So, if you spend most of your time on activities that fall to activity quadrant 1, 3 and 4 you ARE NOT PROGRESSING. In order to progress in your life, you should allocate wisely to finish your quadrant 1 activities first while doing quadrant 2 activities, so that when it comes to deadline, your quadrant 2 activities do not change to quadrant 1 activities adding more headache to you

2000 m = 2 km = 20 laps of 50 m (olympic size swimming pool)

This is my last own longest swimming record

Did this on two 10 non-stop laps in 77 minutes (1/11/2011)

PURSUING A DREAM

is like looking up the bright sky

 seeing the top from down here

is high yet achievable

is fine when you really see the top part clearly

is progressing when you can IMAGINE & FEEL it

DO WHAT PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO DO??

Many successful people say something like this, in order to be successful you have to do something that others don’t want to do. Well, this mean people might call you ‘crazy’ to what you are doing now. But they’ll call you ‘great’ when you are eventually successful.

For me, my moment is when the bathroom of my boarding house (for public use) left dirty. I’m usually the person who clean it with moan. Then my ‘wake up’ moment came when I realized that if I shift my thought to something good, I’m doing good deed and I’m indeed practising doing things people don’t want to do. So I welcome myself to the ‘minority’ group rather than the ‘majority’. Surprisingly, now when I stop moaning, the cleaning up (once a week or ten days, if possible; you know, men are usually lame on cleaning stuff) now takes only 2-3 minutes comparing to more than 10 minutes before. So the cleaning up is as easy as 1-2-3. ^o^

Well! I know this man a few months ago. He’s quiet,conservative and seems to be passive in conversation.

Yet today, I had a thoroughful and meaningful conversation with this man. He’s got a big heart and he’s willing to help people from sickness.

So went was our conversation to the range of products I can offer him to help his problem, cataract. One thing that I can pick from this kind guy is what he said, “Well, I don’t use this product for myself. I’ll use this to be a proof so when others who have got the same problem like me can be relieved as they see me benefiting from the products.”

Yet, he didn’t think of getting any benefit from the sales, all he said was about helping others. Another homework for me (though I like it) to help him understand and learn the benefit and use of the products to their detail so he can also explain the same things to others.

Last but not least, people say don’t judge a book from its cover and I can say this quote is true!

Life is great and I’m sure this dream does come true!
