Moving forward

If I tell you that you are going to fall, will you believe me?

Ever had that feeling that you know what is going happen to that person if they do certain things, but they went ahead to do it or not do it. (sounds complicated? asked me in person) I've seen too much of such things happen. I really feel like saying 'I told you so', but always stop myself. Because I also make the same mistakes of heeding good advice. Good advice is hard to hear, swallow and accept.

Being obedient 听话 is not conforming to rules, not having a mind of our own. but it is a process of minimising our setbacks by learning from mistakes of others. You'll be surprised how many people have walked down the same path you are walking now and made certain mistakes that they wished they have known earlier.

How to be constantly improving? Learning from one's mistakes ain't good enough, it is about learning from others' mistakes too and catching yourself in the moment when the decision is a wrong one. It is tough, because it takes a simple person to do so. And human beings are a complicated bunch. We like to look at the problems, rather than look for the solutions. So stop whining and grow up.

Don't make the same mistakes I made. It will take you further from the things you want.

Focus, Leya. Focus

Pretty Angela

This young girl has long legs, cute smile and sweet personality. Look nothing like her age, except with jet black hair and short fringe, and she is really mature beyond her age because of the things she has gone through. Still a child at heart most of the time, but always offer me her most truest and most sincere encouragement and opinions. So glad to have known you under such unusual circumstances. Your presence in my life definitely added more rainbows, butterflies to a happier Leya now. *hugs babe!*

Right or left brain person?

First, identify yourself as right or left brainperson:

1. Hold your hands together, as if you were praying.
Look at your hands. If you see
Left thumb is below the right thumb ---> left brain
Right thumb is below the left thumb ---> right brian

2. Fold your arms in front of you (as if you are angry)
Right arm above left arm ---> left brain
Left arm above right arm ---> right brain

Based on 1+2 (order important), below is the interpretation of your personality:

Right-Left
==========
Considerate, traditional, indirect type
can instinctly read other's emotion, and respond friendly by natures. Although not very into taking intiatives in moving forward, but this person will always take a step back in supporting others. Stable personality and considerate, give others a being protected feeling. But the weakness is they cannot say no; regardless how unwilling they are, they will take care of others.

Right-Right
===========
Loves challenges type
Straightfoward. Once they decided on one thing, will take action right away. Very curious, and love challenges. Dare to face dangers without thinking through (sometimes foolishly).
Their weakness is they dont listen to others, will filter in only what whey want to hear in a conversation, and very subjective. However, because of their straightforward attitude, they tend to be fairly popular.

Left-Left
=========
Dedicated, cold, perfectionist
Very logical in all aspects. The only way to defeat (or win over) him/her is through reasons. Has a lot of prides, and feeling strongly about doing the right thing. If they are your friends, they are very trustworthy. However, if they are your opponets, they will be very tough to deal with.
Because they can be very "anal" as a perfectionist, they usually leave a bad impression of being hard to deal with when first met.

Left-Right
==========
Likes to take care of others, leader type Has a cool and keen observation ability to see through situations, yet still can be considerate In others needs. Because of their cool and calm nature, and strong sense of responsibility, they tend to become head of a group.
Popular among people. However, they may not be able to help themselves in meddling because they want to take care of others too much. Very concerned about how others view them, and always on alert.

So which one you are?

I'm right right. very true, hehehe.

Experience counts

I suddenly had a revelation after eating the awful soba noodles I was trying to make for myself for lunch. I am really not good at cooking. Neither am I that good in facial or makeup yet. Neither do I exercise or play any sports. That's probably when I have little confidence in doing any of these.

Why are we not confident in things we are not good at? Is it because we are incapable of learning how to do those things or simply we just don't do it enough? I personally know the reason why I can't cook. Because I have not failed enough to know I can cook. I don't do it often enough, haven't burn enough food to deem myself as a bad cook. Maybe there's no such thing as a bad cook, just a lazy cook with lil experience.

Same things apply to being a makeup instructor. Not the certification she graduated with, nor how well-spoken she is. It is how much faces she have done makeup for, how many people she have shared her knowledge with to deem whether or not she is an experience instructor who knows what she is doing.

Pity we're all trapped in this paper-chasing world where only qualifications, certification counts. People look at those, before they look at you and ask about your experiences. End of the day I feel it is through having experiences, both bad and good ones, we learn and grow. Just studying for the sake of studying is just a waste of time
