To the pure, all things are pure
I finally have some personal time to myself..this few days have been crazy! sleeping late and waking up so early and having all my days packed! I am glad it is all over..just feel like slacking and having some personal time.
Went to watched GI JOE today. It was below my expectation. Somehow my taste for movies has changed. I no longer enjoy those no brainer action movies as much. They are good, CGI wise. I feel the plot is really soso, in fact, it does not really make senses. Maybe because it is based on some kids toy, so it does not really have an indepth plot. Any tom dick or harry can make an action packed movie if they pump in alot of money, but to make one with great storyline is a tough soup to brew.
Was reminded of the saying tgar Pst mentioned for a period of time, "To the pure , all things are pure...". One impt thing that i realised that is that one's perception and thinking is what ultimately guides a person. Basically there are 3 group of ppl in this world
1) Those who perceive they are wrong all the time.
- they are the one who are crazy. They lost their senses and orientation. They no longer believe in anything about themselves. That's why depression can lead to mental breakdown. Depression causes one to lose all hope of life and they start to think they are wrong(hence losers) all the time.
2) Those who percieve they are right some of the time.
- They are the "normal" ppl. They don make judgement on the spot. They consider viewpts.
3) Those who perceive they are right all the time.
- Those who always think they are right all the time.They are CONFIDENT that their knowledge and experience will prove them right. They think ppl are always in the wrong or they are deceived or naive. They will argue all the time to prove their pt. They have strong determination, but they can be soooooo strong in their view pt, that they are ssoooooo teribly wrong.
In fact, everyone has a combination of the 3 kinds( obviously if you constantly think in viewpt no 1, you need help!). I feel i am the 3rd kind most the time, be it whether i know it or not. It is a result of overly-confident(pride), the refusal to accept things as they are presented to me and lack of trust in ppl. To counter this problem, I will ponder alot. To grill and grill what viewpoints, ideas or stance i am taking, to be very sure that i am not being biased. Occasions( trust me, there are MANY) will come that i meet similar kind of people, they will show aggressiveness, talk in loud voice, display alot of emotions and they usually end up not wanting to carry on talking.
End of the day, you must know what kind of viewpoints do you hold most of the time. This will help you to become a better communicator and at the same time, allows you to learn from flaws that might have escape your radar.

God
Finally I am blogging. Work have been pretty busy and this few weeks there have been events going on that kept me rather busy, from 21st birthdays to weddings to FOP and of cos CHC 20th anniversary!
Looking at the calender, I realised almost 2 months have passed since i started work and i thank God for everything at work. People are pretty nice, working environment is pretty challenging and there are lots(understatement) to learn. For ppl who are looking at stocks to invest, do check out COSCO.Will be handling my 3rd ship tml till fri and this is pretty challenging, hope i can do well.
Was pondering about things and it is amazing how God put thoughts into my mind, thoughts that i never think of. These includes areas that i need to improve on, thoughts and revelation of life journey, lessons from past experience and of cos the things that you realised that He has placed in your path, things you realised only when you go past and look back.
Keep smiling, life is all about training and what separates the weak and the victorious is the word Attitude.
If you feel you are going through hell, take joy that God is giving you a crash course on life. And the best thing?
He knows you will complete it.
