I've Been Happy

I've been following this Think Different @LifeLimits at Twitter just a few weeks ago, and you will be amazed how it had changed my life instantly after that. 

Well you see, (and this is proven scientifically as well) our brain somehow tends to perceive (and remember) more negative inclined matters. Therefore, we will have to keep on put in the "positive" reminders in ourselves before the negativity kills us from within. What we have not done enough is to infuse positivity in ourselves in our daily life.

By following @LifeLimits, only positive loaded messages and reminders (and even photos) are being constantly shared in the timeline (is that what you call them in Twitter??). So when you (or rather myself) are feeling like the whole world is against us and we do not have anything with ourselves to fight that negativity, these simple messages would somehow help. Believe me, I don't know the kinetics on how it works, but it does!

That little flower in the midst of concrete pavement had pulled me out from negativity last Monday, and I reminded myself to stay positive and happy through out the whole week, of which I did.

Try it, and make a difference today!

Which God is God

Right! The reason for me kinda "abandoning" my own blog was because I'd always wanted to change the blog's header photo and then start blogging fresh. But I'm that busy and never had the time to take photo and replace that header. Soon perhaps... once I had the time.

So this is just something that I wanted to write because suddenly I've thought of it, and managed to share the idea with one of my colleague (who is a Muslim).

We were talking about God, and how a close friend of mine would always pray for my success in uni days during Friday prayers, especially during exams. And I always reciprocate by saying, "Whatever you prayed for me, I'm praying equally the same if not more for you. At the end of the day, the God you pray to, is the same God that I am praying".

Quickly I explained to my colleague, I said its like going to KLCC from Penang. Some may opt to take flight (#PrayForMH370), some may drive through the highway, some stopped at Taiping and took the old road to KL. These different routes are what I call "religions", whereas the ultimate goal of reaching KLCC is God. So you see, our destiny is the same, just that our way to our destiny is different.

Ah-ha! What a day... It was lovely to get such an enlightenment in the midst of a normal workday.

The Murphy's Law

Well I've definitely heard of the name of this Law, but I could not recall what exactly this Law meant. All I could remember vividly was Le Chatelier's Principals. But little do we know, these 2 laws can be used to explain life and our actions. 

Today we commissioned a rather important project in my workplace, and thus, I've been working non-stop since last Friday. My boss gave me a piece of advice that was rather chemistry and stochastic, "Kelv, remember the Murphy's Law". I nodded and smile, but I couldn't recall at all what did that meant! Now listen carefully, I am not gonna repeat myself. Here goes...

Lesson 1.0 - Murphy's Law

If you feel that something is gonna go wrong, that means it will definitely go WRONG! There is always a reason why your instincts are communicating to you.

Example: I somehow felt that the project commissioning at my workplace was done rather in a hurry, and I believe there must be some parts or equipments that may fail. Thus, I instructed for a trial load the night before the commissioning. Turned out, I was right! Equipment failure here and there. Thank God we managed to identify it early, and got it rectified immediately. And thus, it was a flawless operations today during the actual commissioning.


Lesson 2.0 - Le Chatelier's Principles

Also known as the equilibrium principle, it can be simply explained as if you don't move something out, nothing much (or more) will be produced until there is this change. 

Example: I found out that someone is unhappy about me, and unfortunately that person choose to share about this in social medium, of which I had excess to as well. So much of a smart Alex!!! I was utterly pissed and the first reaction I had was that I wanted was a revenge. But then I felt so emotionally unstable and disturbed. Finally it took a person (who is by the way younger than me) to teach me to just let it go. When I forgive, then I forget, I became happier instantly and really no longer mind what that person has to say about me. Chapter closed. When you moved on, thing gets better. 

Life class lessons indeed!

Be The Change That You Wish To See In The World

The great Mahatma Gandhi said it so right. But, I had a revelation last week about this quote. All these while, I thought I knew what this quote was about, but the fact was that I didn't.

Part of us, we really want others to behave and be a certain way that we assume is right. But can you influence and somehow make them change, just because you thought its the "right" way of being? Answer is, no you can't. No, NO, NO!

Why should you be worried about what others are, when the only thing you should be worried is yourself (or rather myself).

It was rather enlightening, and I learned to take it as it is. With this I forgive, and forget.
