what hold us back from doing what we do best? Why in life people move further away from their passion? these were a couple of questions asked in my Coaching Psychology lecture.
some of the reasons:
1. people afraid to change.
the truth is, the type of person you were as a kid is still in you. it is just that, that attitude has grow as you age. say for example, as a kid you don't like your toys got mixed up with your little sister. as an adult now, you are an organised person.
2. we worry about our weaknesses too much. we focus on how to improve our weaknesses most of the time.
remember when we were kids, when some of us scored 'A's in English and History then, failed in Math. all parents spent hundreds of dollars to improve that grade; try to push it to A as well. it is nature i guess. parents wanted us to be best in everything.
but this is not how it should be. we should focus on our strengths so that we could be drawn towards what we love doing in the future.
sure, you want to work on the weaknesses you have, but spend alot effort and time to grow, exploit your strengths not the other way round. if you keep close what you love, you can't go wrong in life.

... and yet, it didn't stop them from doing what they enjoy most.

woke up at 5am. sahur, then get ready for uni.
i love first day of uni. why? because i like observing the anxious, scared, lost and need-to-buy-all-the-textbooks-by-today freshers.. hahaha..
freshers writing down the list of books recommended by the school. the lists are available at the bookshop
year in, year out.. it has always been like this. first day, they bought redicolously expensive books without even realising there was a secondhand bookstore 10 metres away. haha~ and for most part, the textbooks weren't that important at all and turned out that they would be flipping it through in just week 1.
how i know? because i was one of them when i was a fresher~ :p so what i do now? i borrow books from library..
if so happen that they books are really really good.. then, i will buy for myself and for future reference.
i had one lecture today, and OH.MY.GOSH. my lecturer was like "ok, you will be presenting a topic in groups from week 6-10"... "you will be coaching in week 8 and 9"... "and week 10 you submit your proposal".. it was really TO-MY-FACE warning of the workloads ahead..
owh well, i was aware of it... and i was mentally prepared. so, NO WORRIES~

as usual, was watching clips in youtube, then i stumbled onto these clips. Lea Salonga
i tell you this girl is a beautiful person, whole package. communication skill is superb, has an extremly polite manners, accent is gorgeous and drop dead talented.
this clip was taken when she was 18. she is a Phillipino, but i felt in love with her British accent. i have never been this mezmerized with such talent and beautiful charisma that she has. i even say to myself, i want to be like her (..well, with different passion that is~)... she is such a beautiful person
