Holistic Life Approach

Doesn't it sound ridiculous when one ask you to abandon your education while finding out more ways to earn money. Not very ridicule because it definitely have its point.

And the above statement is not about one person asking another but myself asking myself. Perhaps it's not about education that should be abandoned. The question should be more like this. "What's the point of frustrating myself studying and even worse for some random subjects I don't like when the final purpose of securing education certificates will be used to earn money in my future when I can find better ways to earn more money that what my certificates can secure me for"

So what if I can find better ways to earn good money than what I'm studying for? Isn't working life purpose is to seek more income to support ourselves? Good question to wash my brain a little. But that doesn't mean I am against education. Of course, education can makes life so much easier by knowing the hows and become a professional being in today's society while leveraging our thinking mindset.

So how do I approach a holistic life? What is holistic life? Simple as it sound. Its about living our life healthily be it physically, mentally and spiritually. More often than not we might have one priority over the others. It's pretty difficult to get hold the balance of these three elements. And even worst when I started out in the working life I hardly see myself any closer and understanding towards spiritual being or physically healthy. Mentally struggling in within and often resulting in stress and tension.

Here's a definition of what I mean by holistic.

Physically : Someone who can be healthy while taking care of own fitness through consistent physical exercising while ensuring own food intake (am talking about myself actually)

Mentally : Being mentally prepared and remain fresh as it is everyday through thinking about the solutions instead of blaming the problems and see the smallest details to the bigger picture. In a nutshell, connecting the dots.

Spiritually : Get a deep understanding on the core values of our spiritual belief and how it guide us through our life while keeping our best manners and attitude at hand.

I may have missed out financial. But I don't think it should be an emphasized element but significant enough to play a role towards our happiness.

So I am working towards these three elements in a bit and shall write a report later. It really takes time and effort and plans towards a holistic being. But I believe it would be fruitful in the end knowing how one end meets the other. And when I really did. I would be a holistic person. Muahaha~

Thinking Trauma

It's been mere a week before starting on my first job. Many stuff crosses my mind and again am blaming myself for someone who thinks too much. So here I am again pouring my thoughts into this blog. About my story and about who I am.

Couldn't sleep and wonder why. No answers to that. Perhaps just some random thoughts kicking into my mind. Have been going through my memories, to see how far I can trace it back. Searching through the cupboards of memories, pulling the boxes and see how far my mind dated back. So it all started back from my kindergarden time as far as I can remember, trying to trace back those faces I knew then to junior school, high school, matriculation time then most current ones which was my uni life... Thinking back those friends I knew and some still keep in touch with is amazing. 

Going back through these memories are amazing. Really astounding to flash back on how far the journey I have made to where I am today. The changes I have went through and even the people I met. It's so fresh in my mind and seem like it's just few days or months away, but the reality surfaces. It's like 10 years ago and everything changes but the memories remains.

So much of the yesterdays where the past remains the past. What matters are the present and only the present so much that determines tomorrow's outcome.

So money minded these days when that really kicks into the brain when future plans are there. Watched a TV show recently and it rings so true to me as a man who just simply live life simple. To just forget about the complications of life and live life as there is. To earn a penny and spend a penny. To travel when there's enough money to do so just to enjoy life and be happy. Life is so much happier that way, to really set no goals at all and be worry free about nothing.

But is that possible? Not very likely unless I am a man of my own and nothing more. To live my own life where no one really cares about. To go anywhere I want to. Living life pointlessly are really great sometimes. 

Have been reviving Unity Bond once again, to keep things moving. It had been stranded for too long. And walla, finally a dot com for a shared blog with my very close friend. Am not sure how far can we bring this website but hopefully it would be more recognize globally and attract more people to read it. 

Watched 3 Idiots with my family just now. And it's a REALLY good movie. Funny and quite touching as well~ MUST watch!

So what waits ahead would be living a holistic life. A holistic being. Would explain more about this phase of life on the next post.

Have to sleep early (not so early) for a friend gathering back to high school rays trip tomorrow! Gonna meet the old faces again~ And it feels so good~

Till den~ :)

The First Step

Have been thinking hard these few days~ Thinking about the crossroads and the other side of it. Have even thought about taking master degree again~ *headache*

What I really meant by 'hard' is thinking beyond~ Way ahead even for like 10 years and 30 years ahead... (that's what happen when you get stranded and got nothing to do at home)

So everyone need to have a plan. And when you have a plan, you have to work towards the plan. And when it's a plan, it must be achievable and logical in the means of own capability~ So there must be also how to make it happen and a reality. If it's not, it's not a plan. (lecture time~)

It's kinda ridiculous for me to think and draw 30 years of plan ahead of me. But hey~ When I do the basic math, it doesn't sound ridiculous now. It's time to know what I want in life and how to achieve them in the years to come. And plans have to take account of the retirement age~ And that's why some people buy insurance and investments~

Talking about investments, my favourite topics of all time. It really does make great sense to start early. The perfect age to start at the early 20s (i'm still young, yay! LOL) to start making investment. As there are no such thing as quick money in investments, unless (I've done my homework) I get myself involved in stocks or bond investment (not very likely till I have like 1 million in my account) and participate in a direct sells (MLM) via people begets people begets money method (accompanied with 100% effort and motivation, this method can be real good investment for certain people) or the better worse to buy a lottery ticket everyday and prays that ONE day that jackpot may strike on my lucky day~

Planning 30 years ahead is easy. Very easy. What's hard would be our mindset testing our patience, consistency and effort in realizing such plan. More often than not, even it's a one year plan, one hardly can follows so what about 30 years you say?

And good news! I am officially employed with a private construction company! (dammit) Congratulation to me! Yay! Would be officially working as a Junior Quantity Surveyor on 3rd September 2012. There's a designation I can finally write while filling forms now~ HAHA!  

Mom seem deeply unhappy and still convincing me to quickly report duty to JPA. And even threaten by saying I can change into a new car (with my own expense of course!) if I get accepted into the government sector. What a deal! A new car! Woots! I can say bye bye to greeny!

Too much of thoughts these days~ My head gonna go KABOOM! Gonna concentrate on my career for the time being~

No money no talk~ And that's why when no money, there's always a blog for myself~

Till den~ ;-)
