caught a lot of shows recently apart from my ainme following regime... there's prison break s4, supernatural, and of course heroes... all the different days of the weeks are used to catch up on all these shows with their weekly releases... and still there's one piece/soul eater/ bleach/ naruto/ dgrey man and in oct, gundam 00 to follow too! sounds like a damn busy life ahead...
anyway...caught the last lecture by Randy Pausch at hs's recommendations... it was not bad... and at the end of the show.. gotten 3 points that i think are worth taking away...
1. Brickwalls are there for a reason. They let us know how badly we want something.
how everyone interprete this is entirely up to them, but i guess this is just similar to my "what don't kills you make you stronger.." philosophy...
2. When you screw up and nobody is saying anything, it shows they have given up on you.
this to me is pretty true... and so far... no many ppl are saying things about me... either i've already been given up...or i never screw up at all... hopefully it's the latter...
3. Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
this imo, holds the most meaning to me... i guess it's impossible to get what we want all the time.. the more impt thing is having going thru that experience in trying, and of course...when you are trying... i do mean putting in your best shot and not some half hearted attempt that fizzes off like goes flat...
this 3 points plus together would somehow gives a more wholistic idea on how to be a more optimistic person i guess.... i guess this can keep me afloat a while more despite all the family woes...
anyway, plans for chalet has been changed to BBQ at Mr. Gan house... it'll still be at 2nd week of Oct. I'll post up the menu in my next posting and please confirm whether you are available or not...
"it's not easy to be human...it's harder to be me..."
