Day In, Day Out

It has been a looong time since the last post. Kihkihkih. I've been sooo busy with damn assignments and guess what I am working very hard for a tut tut. ;) Dont ask me why. I feel like having one so I'm working hard to have it. Books? I've to stop reading my favourite genres due to my assignments. It is frustrating when you want to read something but you dont have time to do so. But it's okay. I'll catch it later. People call today's season as spring but I prefer to call it as summer. It's hot. Worth putting your hat on.

But then, after being brainwash by my mom, it drives me to make some adjustments : I'll only think about getting married after my 25th birthday.

Poverty resulted her to pay attention on gaining money and surviving in the rapid development of the world. She realised the importance of knowledge and education but without enough money, everything seemed to be impossible. Mom always reminds me things about life, hardship and education. Every time she tells me stories, she informs me about her unaccomplished dreams. She declares me as a fortunate ch...

Toxic Stress: School?

Aikido is the art of reconciliation. Whoever has the mind to fight has broken his connection with the universe. If you try to dominate people you are already defeated. We study how to resolve conflict, not how to start it. (Goleman, 1996, p. 125) Same goes to other types of martial art no matter where they come from.

Waah. It has been more than 10 days and I still reading Emotional Intelligence by Goleman. I know that I am paying more attention to unnecessary things such as etc and etc ;) Reading this book, I feel like quoting everything because I really want to share with all every points and arguments in it. It is a worth reading book. The added payoff for life success from motivation, apart from other innate abilities, can be seen in the remarkable performance of Asian students in American schools and professions. One through review of the evidence suggests that American-ASian children may have an average IQ advantage over whites of just two to three points ... The reason seems to be that from the earliest years of school, Asian children work harder than whites.
