Calculation

I was doing a mental calculation.

I kinda do it once every few months or whenever something cropped up that makes me wanna do this calculation.


To me it is call a RC. Relative Calculator.


I feel it is very very important to have a calculation and summarise what have happened in your life and how things around are slowly changing.

Like

1) Relationship

I will think of who are the people i avoid and who are the people i made an attempt to get close to. Why am i doing so and am i doing the right thing. To put it plainly, choosing your close friends. There are people whom i choose to make an extra effort to talk to and relate to because i know they care for me...not for my comfort but for my growth as a person. Let's take K for an example, everytime i have a problem, i will try to talk to him even though he is overseas. I will make it a point to read his blog daily and get to know him better. Because i know he is a man of principles and he will not hestiate to tell me my faults, of cos, in a gentle manner.Friends no doubt shape your thinking.I am not too keen to have friends who are out just to have fun.Don't get me wrong, they are important too but they go as far as fun can go. True friends instill good principles in you and that is very important.


2) Personal

In this area , i will think back on my personal growth as a person. Have i force myself to see the bad side of me and try to correct it? Have i try to work hard? Have i put a balance in life? Have i went for what is right and important? Have i scolded myself when i did the wrong thing? have i put the wrong expectatiosn on people. But well, it is good to have a "wake up" call but don't condemn yourself! i always tell myself to keep changing. it is not easy but it is a must. The saddest thing in life is to be in your own world, thinking your are right all the time and feeling sorry for yourself when people try to correct you.


3) Output

Am i a positive source to people around me? Have i made a positive contribution to my surrounding? Sometime we get carried away that we fail to see that "light of the world and salt of the earth" means you stand out for something good! are you complaining most of the time? are you gossiping all the time? have you tried to praise people? this is what i ask myself..personally i like to make ppl laugh and i always believe that laughter is the best medicine.


So relatively, how have i performed as compared to the last time i calculated? there will be up and down like the stocks but i do hope it will increase like what stocks usually do in the long term.

Because we are not perfect, that's why we need to always reflect on our actions and pray for an improvement!


Be cool!
