Nice meeting you

I still remember the day when we first met at our college orientation.

We bonded instantly because of our common goal.

We bonded because of our values.

We bonded because of our culture.

We grew up together in college, sharing many great and bad memories.

Nobody but two of us would understand.

After my graduation, I saw this person who I shared almost most of my time with in college for the first time again yesterday.

We bonded together again because of materialistic items.

We bonded together again because of insecurity.

We bonded together again because of competition.

Our bonding is no longer permanent, it is rather temporary.

Hello, my name is Sam, nice to meet you.

Lesson 5

Being conscience about what is right or wrong is very important to me.

We all want love, but we get caught up in our personal interests.

That could cost us to forget what responsibility means.

I am honestly sad to let a person who i opened up with go.

Nice meeting you.

According to Wikepedia, Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), was considered as a mood disorder.

Symptoms:

1. Difficulty waking in the morning. [check]

2. Morning sickness

3. Tendency to oversleep and over eat. [check, check, check!!!]

4. Craving for carbohydrates. [check]

5. Lack of energy, difficulty concentrating on or completing tasks. [check]

6. Withdrawal from friends, family, and social activities. [check]

Now what...

Definitely not feeling it due to the weather, not the best kind of feeling...

I feel lazy, unmotivated, tired, hungry...and more and more...

At the same time, there is so much more to work on for my potential career.

Having a correct mind set during this time is VERY important,

Do not give up on your dreams.

Sometimes, I do think about what if... 

this company will NEVER consider me again...

Yup, having worries is very normal, but the key is...

I've tried.

My mother have always encouraged me to become a pilot,

even at the end of her battle with cancer.

It is funny now that I think about her, I wanted to prove her wrong

and to become a doctor because of her sickness.

I felt like I had the obligation to cure all the patients 

who also suffered from cancer .

Now that it is about to be four years since my family has lost her,

I've finally came to a conclusion that I do not want to become a doctor anymore.

One thing I realized after getting a college degree in science,

yes, I am proud that I've completed college

But...

I realize having the heart to help people does not necessary have to relate to the health field.

I do not have the best grades to enter medical schools.

I cannot afford to enter medical schools.

As much as i like science, I do not enjoy working in that environment.

Lesson 4

We definitely will experience our darkest days,

but do not forget what your goal is.

Try to put up things that will motivate you on your desk,

and remember why you chose that path.

Cathay Pacific, I will fly with you one day.

The moment I knew...

(Image taken from google)

Yesterday, 11/11/2013 was probably one of the scariest moments in my life.

My boyfriend I were at a four way stop intersection.

It was our turn to go, but a Ford Escape decided to approach our car 50 mph on a 35 mph road.

The Ford Escape did not notice that there was a stop sign and almost got us killed.

Luckily, my boyfriend decided to step on the accelerator 

really quickly and avoided a potentially bad accident. 

I am really thankful that we are both alive right now and we still have each other.

1. Human error is very common

    People should not put others life in risk when it comes to simple tasks like paying attention on the       traffic condition.Something as simple as running over a stop sign could have put people's life in danger.

2. Decision making

    Even though I was not the person driving during that time, being able to make last minute decision is     very important. My boyfriend told me that when he realizes a car was approaching him, he did not         think but to accelerate right away. I know this sounds like simple by typing up here, but when you're     faced with an emergency, being able to make appropriate judgements right away will ensure your life    being saved.

Lesson 3

While we accept that humans make error, but a minimal error can cost people's lives. In order to prevent that, we must carry out our own responsibility. Even when we're faced with emergency, being able to make an appropriate judgement for action is also necessary.

Call me a freak

First of all, the title says it all! It gets my nerves when things are not organized in a certain way.

I get really frustrated because I expect things to be organized in a certain way.

Is it a strength or a weakness about me? Here is what I think..

It is a strength because...
1. Being organized keeps my plans on schedule, I tend to plan out what to do/ eat for the week. It allows me to keep focused on my work.
2. Since I always write down my To-do list/ Grocery list, I never forget a single thing that I planned.
3. Keeping everything in place allow me to perform tasks easily. I can always easily asses my information quickly and carry out my work efficiently.

It is a weakness because...
1. Since I have such high expectation in myself, I tend to be really impatient with people that are not motivated.
2. I become really demanding when it comes to completing my tasks, it tends to make people feel uncomfortable.
3. Keeping everything well planned is a good thing, but what if things go out of place? For example: having an emergency.

                                                                  Lesson 2:

 As I look up strength and weakness on Wikipedia, I tend to be in between of being an analytical and driver person. At the end, in order to apply to my career, it is great to be organized but a note to myself is: Try not to be too demanding and focused on "doing it my way".

Accepting Failure

Recently, I took a trip to Hong Kong for three months thinking 

I was going to get my dream job. It turns out I was too ideal about it. . .

Sometimes, you may be over confident and think that you know it all.

This exactly happened to me three months ago causing my failure,

I was not paying attention to things that seemed minimal

and yet, that's what got you.

BUT failing is NOT the end of the world.

As i slowly accept my own failure, 

I learn to improve myself and be better.

Lesson 1: 

Do not be afraid of failing. Learn to accept your own failure and find room to improve

for BETTER.
