“If you want something, first of all you have to show your eyes.”
We can have all the available means of communication in the world, but nothing, absolutely nothing takes the place of the human look.

Wondering
Everything happen for a reason.
There's always something to be learn, it's whether or not u want to see it or face it.
Someone told me today, sometimes the important thing is to be aware of it, then try to strike a balance in your emotions. It might not be easy to change everything, but alot of times, negative emotions are self-induced.
So instead of inducing negative emotions, why not induced positive ones =)
I will try.
p/s: enough of whining liao..

The art of listening
Was reminded recently that one of the skills that I want to master is the art of listening.
Not really doing a great job of that. Must try harder.
I must learn to listen, really listen and give full attention to the person that's talking to me.
That's the basic respect that i can give to another person.
Equally important is, I must also learn to listen to my own inner voice, acknowledge what is in there before it's too late.

Soul food of the day
Should one listen to ones heart or brain? Or a mixture of both?
The world is a mixture of matter and spirit so: listen to your brain whenever you need to make material and practical decisions.
But listen to your heart whenever the problem at hand concerns your dreams and hopes.
As Saint Paul wrote in his letter to the Corinthians: “If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing.
If I have the gift of prophecy, understanding all the mysteries there are, and knowing everything, and if I have faith in all its fullness, to move mountains, but without love, then I am nothing at all.
If I give away all that I possess, piece by piece, and if I even let them take my body to burn it, but am without love, it will do me no good whatever.”
Paulo Coelho
p/s: met up with an old friend today, he told me something that really coincide with what i have just posted today... The signs are all out there.. I just need to listen.

upset..
Something upsetting happen at work today with a fellow colleague and i had really wanted to make the scene ugly but I hold myself back, there's no need for me to go to that level but it really is so disappointing.
Then as i was reading my daily soul-food..
today post was:
"It’s normal that we don’t always keep our enthusiasm in front of obstacles. Indeed some people truly make an effort in destroying our plans and hopes and so they appear as evil."
"But in these moments, if you are able to remind yourself of the reason of your actions and also see that those that are committed in creating pain around them are actually their first victims – then you may at least find an extra dose of consolation in your path. Ally yourself with those that wish you the best and don’t give strength to those that want to see you down. Don’t even grant them the right to be called your “enemies”. "
How apt an entry..
p/s: The key now is how to balance my emotions cos i don't know how to behave around her liao. I can't pretend nothing happen.
