rAyMoNd'S LiVe sPaCeLife is a process of making choice continuously. September 20 No theme…The more stress you have, the more likely you are getting ill. There is a so-called ‘Life changing unit’ available in Psychology to measure the probability of how stress contributes to your health. By looking at the list of event and adding up the units you got, you know what status you are currently in. Be calm with your result. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmes_and_Rahe_stress_scale Though individual purchasing power in China is not considered as high, China has been ranked as the fast grown country with huge potential to absorb the luxury goods in the eye of top brands. The emergence of middle class in the Chinese society accelerates the process of consumption of luxury goods. The known reasons of love of luxury goods in China are surveyed and concluded as two in most circumstances. It is either a way of rewarding our own hard work or self recognition of social esteem. ‘Aholic’ – suffix, means ‘unable to stop doing, eating or drinking something’. Workaholic is to realize one's own value of existence by obtaining recognition for achievement from the peer. Blogoholic is to keep updating blog and getting people known one’s own existence. Loveholic is to avoid getting lost on one’s own way by keeping loving someone. They all have one thing in common. That is, they in the first place get themselves lost when facing with loneliless. Excessive dependence on certain thing won’t get life meaningful. Instead, life’s becoming more meaningless. There should be no single thing which could solely dominate your life. September 06 PromiseTwo days ago, I attended a function about the opportunities in Asia / Pacific regions. During a conversation with a managing director of an accounting firm, I was questioned by ‘why would you make such a change’ and as usual, I gave my standard answer, ‘It’s likely that there are vast opportunities in Asia / Pacific regions than here’. Since my friends know my decision, I have been kept questioned by similar question. No matter how I answer, half of them will not believe in me, interestingly. I realise that I’m more like a stubborn person. By saying that, what I mean is that I sometimes don’t know how to adjust my plan to deal with the changing situation. The reason might be a promise I made. This word is defined as ‘when you say that you will certainly do something’. It can be a promise to yourself, your friends, your family, or whoever, or even a combination of them. It’s likely that we make promise from time to time. But in fact, how’s the result? Have you ever taken action to get your promise into effect? If you haven’t not act in according to your promise, the worst thing that will happen in most circumstances is that your credibility has been damaged. Thus, it’s better not to make any promise at all. In that case, you don’t have to stick with anything. However, whenever we want to convince others or yourself, we would like to make kind of promise. By making a promise, you want to create an invisible agreement between you and yourself or others and expect that others will act in accordance with it as well. However, whether or not the other party including yourself will believe in it is another matter. Interestingly, there’s a recent news about celebrity who damaged his credibility by keeping a false promise to the public despite that he’s not required to do so due to certain issue being so private. It’s hard to keep a promise and get it into effect if you are not likely to act in that way. But if you can’t achieve it, it’s better to not make any promise to anyone including yourself, as it would be difficult to keep that promise unless you are really acting in accord with it.
April 26 Stubborn …This word is usually disapproving and used to describe someone who is determined to do what they want and refuses to do anything else. You can describe a person as stubborn as a mule (don’t know why mule is stubborn anyway) if he’s very inflexible. I read an article about ‘星座婚前婚後老公篇’. Unfortunately, guys like me in my horoscope is described as ‘stubborn’ though i reckon i am sometimes. Here is what it says, ‘結 婚 前 他 活 潑 開 朗 、 魅 力 無 窮 ， 可 是 結 婚 之 後 你 就 會 發 現 他 ： 比 頑 固 不 化 更 勝 老 太 婆 ， 想 讓 他 改 變 主 意 比 登 天 更 難 。 眼 看 他 犯 錯 ， 卻 沒 有 任 何 辦 法 說 服 他 們 回 心 轉 意 。 你 們 只 有 一 起 在 錯 誤 中 學 習 ， 準 確 點 是 你 陪 他 從 他 的 錯 誤 中 學 習 。’ I’m not gonna talk about whether i have charm though i want to :) (firstly, i’m not a narcissistic person; secondly, it’s subject to others’ evaluation and comments). What caught my eyes in this statement is the second part. I reckon sometimes i do follow my own way no matter how others think of me. It’s good though coz it’s my way. But just i will still keep going on my own way though it’s wrong and until i find it wrong by myself. From economy point of view, it’s not cost-effective, especially in terms of cost of time. I’m inflexible and not prepared to accept change to some extent. Though i find it good, it’s just not my option in my mind. One of my friend defines me as person who’s not suitable for finance industry. The reason is partly that i’m not as much adaptive as required by the finance industry. And accounting is more appropriate to me. I can’t deny my friend’s comment is partly right. There’s one thing i believe in. Your personality can still be changed as long as you want to change and re-shape it unless you are not willing to.
March 25 Compromise…‘Compromise’ means ‘to allow your principles to be weakened or your standard or morals to be lowered’. We’re living in a world full of 'compromise’. When you walk out of the office door to enjoy your Japanese food, but the restaurant is full and you have to try another one, say Thai food. When you want to go for holiday, say, to Gold Coast, but it’s fully booked up or you don’t have enough mates going out with you, you change your plan to stay home. It’s not necessary to be bad when you do compromise on something or with somebody though I usually considered as a negative word. Maybe we could look at it from another point of view. You might treat it as an alternative way of being a change. You won’t know what or how it will be anyway. Despite of the fixed factors, there’re still various variables affecting or shaping the way how it looks like. Thus, after you make compromise, you don’t have to be down in some circumstances.
