The Founder & the Builder

We feel insecure about not building something from the start, but often times costantly obsessing about building something from the start hinders us from bringing something from good to great, which can be as honoured (and even more difficult) than bringing it from the beginning till now. Looking at my room I felt regret not [...]

Accepting People

Sometimes we tell others about things we think are right for them, thinking we’re kind and doing them a favour. But often times, we’re just the selfish selves trying to squeeze some feeling of influence. The true kindness comes from the ability to accept others for who they are (or what they’ve done).

I Shaved My Head

I just shaved my head. It looks something like this. After I shaved, I felt uncomfortable. Why? Cos it looks ugly. I can sense that people think it’s ugly, too. This wasn’t the first time I shave. I remember the first time I did (2 months ago), I walked around feeling very uncomfortable. Like there’s this [...]

Mentoring

Having a life mentor is not just about someone guiding you to the right direction, but also about getting used to having someone strip off your egoistic, defensive wall so that you can give life a rational examination that it deserves everyday. I think constant mentorship is the probably the best way to develop any [...]
