Life is brief only if no regret
Hot 1 |
An old man views over decades of world changing. He knows something, when he talks to younglings he shows wisdom. It really impresses us that we can sense the feeling of his sincerity.
We might get easily to be vulnerable when we feel lonely. Solitude is kind of the feeling immerses us into the deep inner mind while we hardly remove it. Actually, it exists there all the time and it gets stronger when we have no companion around us.
A man has the pursuit of something. We at least went through the experience that laying on bed and staring at the ceiling to think about what exactly we are chasing at.
Saying is one thing and doing is another thing. What we really have to do is to put something in mind to have it come true by doing it. There are several times, when I passed by the girl in the front desk she was just right there reading something. I thought she was reading on the phone or sending something. One day, I stopped by her for asking ordering some stationery. Then I glanced at her book, whoa, that is an English text book and some drafts she spread overlapped on desk were all with her exercises of words and some other writings. It seems that she is about to take some exams to get a certificate or something, or probably for the purpose of bettering herself. Whatever. I just didn't ask more.
Everyone has the chance to do something. Somebody wants to achieve something great yet is deficient to actions. Some of my friends have been to some places where are so beautiful. They said that and did it.
I myself is the one who pursues for perfection. Though there is no end of perfection, I am just for it. I like everything being ordered and organized well. I like doing things as planned. Sometimes, it sounds not that flexible and even a little stubborn. I admit, but it helps me to achieve things on the list.
Sometimes we just take things for granted. As the matter of fact, no. They are not so easy to deal with if we do not arrange them well to finish. We may just get stuck in the morning on the bed because the warmth stops the body to move any further. I used to quit that by doing everything as I wanted as long as I remembered to go for that. It turns out it is not that workable.
Everyone has the style, it is quite fine. The problem is: " Have you ever made and tried the best to achieve something?"

- You do have some similarity with me. No wonder the things you write about often generates interest in me. I am also a perfectionist and the things I do have to be well planned, prepared and executed according to plan. Even in personal daily life, I am the same. Every morning, I can't start work until I have all the things I needed before me. A cup of hot tea or coffee - when I feel sleepy. The things around me have to be tidy and readily available. Some people see my habit as odd while some find them very effective and adopt the same methods.
In the night, I can't sleep well unless have I completed all the things I need to do. My bed has to be tidy and comfortable. Every morning I get up at the exact time, otherwise, my day's timetable would be messed up.
In work, I have an effective work list which lists out all the pending work I need to do into categories, like urgent, immediate, phones, outdoor work, phones, contacts, short term and long term, inactive and dormant tasks etc. There are also automatic reminders with alarm. With a work list, I could easily finish a lot of work in a day and have a feeling of being in control of my work. I won't forget things once it goes onto my work list.
I don't know how some people can work without a plan. Without a or list, you won't know what you have on hand. I have to handle enormous work both in business and personal life.

Great minds think alike. When I was at the school, I seldom took notes, I almost could remember what teacher said and what I read.
After work, I gradually found that I was overwhelmed by loads of files and assignments. And I learned to be independent, therefore I had to take with many things on my own. Then I thought it necessary to make a list of things so that I could remember and do follow them.
It turned out to be workable. That is the habit I keep all the time from then on.
It also has something to do with my personality. I like quietness and I want to be alone when I am off work. On weekends, I choose to stay by myself for a while. Think of something and arrange some things that I should do in the next move.
By doing so, I make myself more efficient. Never feel lost in the mess.
Glad to know that.
