Is Motivation or Perseverance More Important
I’ve taken a 7-day stint on my goals. It’s this procrastination syndrome I suffer from. Nonetheless, I shall take this failure as a break and reflect. At the very least, this serves as a reminder for the following. Motivation for change is a powerful driving force. However, it is temporary. Once the mind is disillusioned by time and obstacles, motivation ceases. Therefore, the only other driving factor to keep one’s momentum is perseverance. The more I think about it, it seems perseverance, as a force, is equal to motivation. They complement each other. Motivation is the reason behind one’s goal. Perseverance is the mysterious force, which drives one, even when there is no indication of success.Sponsor ZUJI SG - MLOB Cannonball...
Benjamin Franklin Tells You To Change Your Habits
Everyone knows who Benjamin Franklin is. Better known as an inventor who flew a kite during a terrible storm, he was also one of the founding fathers of the United States. However, my focus is neither his scientific nor patriotic contributions. Quite the contrary and seemingly insignificant, it is his “life-list” that is of interest. When he was twenty, Benjamin Franklin developed a plan. He wanted to attain moral perfection and therefore wanted to cultivate 13 different virtues. Each week he focused on working at one virtue. At the end of the 13 weeks devoted to the 13 virtues, he’d repeated the cycle. Hence, moving closer and closer to his goal of moral perfection. If you’re trying to change or inculcate new habits. Here’s what...
Holiday With a Sense of Achievement
I was alone at Swensen’s just now, celebrating the end of the exams. I go there always to savour my favourite desert: a scoop of Peanut Buttercup ice cream placed atop a slab of crispy walnut brownie. While waiting for it, I briefly listed my holiday plans, some of which are in line with m life list. I truly need to utilise this break to feel a sense of achievement and relaxation. This was what I wrote: Declutter room by the end of Saturday Portrait drawing Improve my working memory Meditate once a day Read “Memoirs of A Geisha” (it has been sitting on my shelf for 2 years) Pen a short story Prepare my community that stands against discrimination (Justice Tribunal) Design a new theme for this blog That’s it. The key is to prevent...
Was My Talk On Time Management, all talk and no play?
So, for nearly the whole week, I’ve been talking about my rotten time management. I took action but it just wasn’t enough. Here’s the report of what I’ve done. I, Logen, completed my CATS project portion and revised the Bstats lecture topics covered in the first 2 weeks. As for Microeconomics, I have only read up half of the topic, Elasticity. To be fair, I spent the weekend clearing my room. Perhaps with a less cluttered room (and table) I could study better. Besides, the room was like a maze. I had knocked hard into my movable drawers, while navigating through the mess in the dark. Here’s what I have yet to do, as targeted: BStats revision: lecture 3, 4 and 5 MIEC revision: lecture 2, 3 and 4 Mrs Loke’s gonna be...
To Get Back On Track
Regretfully, I’m still drifting away from studying. I’ve been busy developing my domain names and wasting my time waiting for emails. The solution to this issue, however, isn’t to cease development of those sites. It merely means my time management sucks and action has to be taken. Here’s the issue in detail: I have 3 important modules to study for, namely Microeconomics, Business Statistics(BStats) and FFA (accounting). Business Statistics is the worrying module, mainly because it deals with maths, worsened by me skipping the last two lectures. I do find it interesting but I’m 4 weeks behind. Answering my question, Wen Jie said that consulting the textbok may only enable me to understand half the topic. Looks like I’ll...
