"Fufillment leads to achievement, and not the other way round"
I couldnt agree more with this quote.
So many times we compare to others and think of ourselves as failures. They have achieved so much, yet we have achieved only so minimal.But have we truly looked inside for happiness? Instead we focused on other people's success till we forgot our own happiness.
To illustrate my understanding of this quote, in the context of getting an A grade for maths maybe:
Fufillment leads to achievement:
You grow to like maths, and hence you study more. Therefore through more practice this gives you an A.
Achievement leads to fufillment:
You think by achieving an A, you will be happy. So you force yourself to study, and be perfect in all your homework, tests, and exams.
See the difference?
As simple as it might sound, sometimes there might not be clear cut answers. For example, sometimes you might like maths but sometimes you might not. Then it will totally be a different story as you want to avoid the worst outcome and not fail maths exam, or sometimes it just boils down to responsibility on your part.
On a personal note, I'm really trying my best to strike a balance. Hopefully I will achieve through fufillment :)
You told me that you got nice dreams about you and me, about us leading a nice life together.
Whereas on the other hand, I get anxiety dreams such as socially anxiety ones or failing my exams.
I somehow feel quite disappointed that by it. I know it doesnt make sense, I mean it's just a dream right.
But it's because you have me in your mind all the time, it's so touching than any flowers or any pricey item. And I truly feel encouraged. Your love always feel me feel encouraged and love, yet inadequate by your deep capacity to love.
I want to be happy. I want to dream about you too.
I cant wait to spend my days with you. I want to reach 1 year, 2 year, 5 year, 10 years.
My first christmas with you, my first valentines next year, our first year.
But I guess I should be more patient, and live in the present with you.
P/S: And sorry if this post is very mushy. But some things are embedded deep in my heart, and I feel so much better writing this post.
Love <3
For tea, I ate one cube of chocolate, an apple, and drank ice water. I feel much better =)
While it may seem that the future is bleak, heart please dont be sorrowful or worried.
Chills run down my spine.
As our fingers entwine,
and your sighs harmonize with mine =)
I dont get it. Why do you have to ask every single time about every single thing? It's like you have no backbone or no confidence at all. Why do you ask questions when you already know the answer, and yet be unsure of yourself? It's like you dont give yourself enough room for your own learning.
I know cos I've been there before, I still am sometimes. But I always strive to be independant and not rely on others too much.
So grow a backbone girl!
P/S: Business Management lecture is damn boring. Kill me please.
More tastier than milo in my opinion. It's a meal replacment product :)
Decided to go on a diet 2 weeks ago, coupled with self exercise. Though it's still not very successful, but I'm still going to continue on to see what happens. ^~^
Went for a jog today with my ma, and drank ensure chocolate. Did my accounting homework, and now doing my law homework.
NOTE: Please please please let me know if you have any $6/hour and above jobs to intro, I need one BADLY ! Something like once a week, or event based. I'll thank you for it :)
Happy 8th Month Anniversary Nerdy Chua ! <3
Thank you for hugging me tightly and saying that I am of worth.
And the fight between me and my esteem continues on.
Wrapped around with problems - relationship interpersonal family self
Bored of my limitless homework life.
Once again I feel like I'm alone in this world.
