Live and Learn

By -
Changes are inevitable,
And most of the times, they occur without a warning.


Happiness and sadness take turn in visiting your door,
and no one could predict when they will leave you 
and when they will come back to see you again.


The only thing you can do is to be prepared.
Either you feel pleasant or unpleasant, the state will just be temporary.
So "Live and Learn"


Live in the moment, by
Being aware of what is happening right now,
without wishing it were different.
Learn to enjoy the moment, by
not dwelling in the past,
not worrying too much about the future,
and doing your best on the present moment.



There are a lot of changes/challenges we have faced.
The recent biggest one is the COVID-19 pandemic.
Because of the pandemic, a lot of people lost their jobs,
and need to live in their insecurities.
Many countries issue lockdown orders for their residents
to stay at home as much as possible
to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.


I have been home for 3 months now.
Apart from my 9-5 routine,
I've been spending my free time on useful activities;
ie. completing my personal work,
talking with family and friends,
doing some writing project,
and following something intellectual and relaxing (podcast, youtube).
The situation outside might not be as safe and pleasant as normal,
but I enjoy how I spend my days during this inevitable situation. 


Happiness is not something ready made.
It comes from your own actions.

Now or Never (Carpe Diem)

Have you ever heard a quote saying  "Good things come to those who wait"? The quote is absolutely true  only when  you are not just sitting still,  being passive  and waiting for your dreams to become true. Instead, you need to grab the chance,  do it now and work towards the end. Carpe Diem (/Car-Pae-Diem/) is a Latin phrase used to encourage  someone to make the most of the present, and put very little trust in the future, because nothing is certain and tomorrow may never come. I always wanted to move out of Thailand when I was young. The two choices in my mind at many times were Singapore and the States. I kept the thought with me and never really moved out because I was afraid that it would not be as good as I wished. I had a fear of failure and worried that  I had to come back and restart everything again. Until the day my mom said if I should go and try to find a job in the States, I had so many conflicts in my thought at that time  bu...

We have 28,810 days to live

You are having less and less time every single day. You will not know when your last day will be. Life expectancy in the States is approximately at 78.93 years.* That means you have 28,810 days in average for your lifetime. They say each new day is a new opportunity, but don't wait until tomorrow as it is not a promise. You may not have the full 28,810 chances in your life pocket. No one knows if today will be their last day or not. It's better to make the most of the present. Where do you stand on your bell curve life graph? Are you in the first stage where the graph is still going up? The middle stage where the graph is pretty stable? Or in the last stage where everything slows down for you? Determine yourself so you see how many chances in life you still have left. If it's about your goal/dream, wake up and pursue it. If it's about your family/people, make up with them  before it's too late or they leave you. If it's about your anger/boredom/tiredness, take i...
