Busy All The Way

I made some updates through Twitter (Paradox Notes). But these messages have not appeared at all. Nevertheless, these are my the updates I made…

1. 13 Feb : I’m taking a break from studying. Going to enjoy today doing what I like.
2. 14 Feb : I’ve been attached to one of the big 4 for my auditing internship. Hopefully, the six months there will be fulfilling.
3. 14 Feb (4 hours later) : My timing for 2.4km was 11.34 mins (14 sec short of my 11.20 target). The problem was, my loose underwear fell off while jogging. Trust me, going commando beneath is an uncomfortable experience while continuing your jog.

This would be my last post till 26th of this month, the end of my last examination. I will be very busy even after.

• 1 March : Aikido Grading
• 2 March – 4 March : Auditing Internship Training
• 9 March : Actual commencement of internship (no leave for 6 months)

This means shopping for at least 4 sets of working clothes, a new slightly toned-down hairstyle and other essentials.

As much as I’m upset of having practically no vacation in-between the semesters, I will give my all for the internship and adopt a calm positive attitude. I have been advised not to blog about or mention the name of the company I’m attached to. That’s all.

Insighful Books, Complicated Concepts

I’ve been reading some insightful books. But within the last book below, are complicated concepts.

1. Roots of Terrorism – Kanti P. Bajpai
2. Training The Samurai Mind: A Bushido Source Book – Thomas Cleary
3. The Book of Wisdom: The Heart of Tibetan Buddhism – Osho

Roots of Terrorism is clear on how secessionist terrorism originated in some states of India. Training The Samurai Mind was laced with many unfamiliar words (I checked the dictionary countless of times) and because some of it was translated from late Bushido experts, the concepts spoken on needed me to make several inferences.

The killer of the whole lot was The Book of Wisdom, which was heavy on Buddhist concepts of enlightenment. Naturally, I could understand it on a limited theoretical level because I’ve never attained enlightenment. However, if I want total understanding of the concepts (e.g. emptiness), I have to experience them for myself. One can describe the colour red to a blind person, but for him to know the colour red, he has to experience it through his eyes.

Unfortunately I lack hindsight and as a result chose two relatively cheem (complicated) books for leisure reading. Nonetheless, these books contain useful knowledge for my ambitions…

Note: The sidebar has a new section called Paradox Notes. Look out for this section as I can update it on the go with my cell phone.
