10 LIFE ADVICES

1. Life is all about CHOICES. You and you alone are responsible for your thoughts, your emotions, your attitudes and actions. Every choice you make has consequences, whether you like it or not.

2. Getting drunk or stoned is for wimps who can't or won't deal head-on and upfront with reality. There's no acceptable substitute for going through life with your head up, your eyes open, and your brain firmly in gear.

3. Learn everything you can, about whatever subject comes your way.

4. Start saving money early. Treat your credit card with the same wariness you'd give to a starving grizzly bear.

5. Pick your battles carefully. Sometimes, you have no choice but to fight. Other times, fighting's not worth the hassle.

6. Lighten up and laugh. Nobody likes downers, whiners and drama queens. If you really must wallow in self-pity, do it quietly and and get over it.

7. Learn the difference between life's inevitable suffering, and the dumb ass crap you inflict on yourself.

8. Life is short. Give lots of hugs. Do whatever you can, whenever you can, for the people you love. They may not be around tomorrow.

9. Intuition is a useful tool, but whenever possible, back it up with facts.

10. Nurture your spirituality. You never know when you might need a little extra gas in the tank.....

PURPOSE OF OLD-AGE

As I watched my grandma lying on the bed, I could not help but imagining myself in her position. She wasn’t exactly helpless; in fact, I thought she was really strong for a 90+ year old. She did not step into the hospital even though she had a stroke! Her self-recovery is way too speedy, I think. Acupuncture really works, perhaps. I wonder about what’s going on her head everyday. What does she live for? Would she prefer living or dying? I’m sure she’s tired of living and of not having the luxury to move about freely, to see clearly and to hear. At that age, with that kind of circumstances, what do you live for anymore? Isn’t life going to be depressing at that age? As I was in my head, I heard a question, coming from within myself. Perhaps, if I can answer what I want to be and what I want to do when I’m at that age that would probably solve my ultimate life question; what is my purpose in life? It is very simple, really. I want to be writing a book – if I still have the capabil...

WHAT IS A SOUL?

Assuming that the soul is not a thing, science is unlikely to prove its existence anytime soon. Yet the experience inspiring the word is entirely real. We speak of "the life of the mind", consciousness, psyche, the spirit.. "she's a free spirit".. And though people die their essence lives on - in words, deeds, qualities they gave to the people who knew and loved them.. There is something - a "soul-print" that connects us instantly to who and what they were. In terms of the broader context.. We know that life seems infinitely variable, and have begun to understand it in terms of systems, a vast web of inter-connectivity. Life is creative. It solves problems. It adapts. *Something is calling forth a higher degree of order. I believe this something, this larger whole, is the mystery that which we call the soul belongs to. by Francesca

INFP AND SPARTANS

One of those enlightening coffee talk with Ze. Some of his wise words. Ze :  When we find the courage to grab life by the horns , we're in it too deep. We need to take control of our lives Ze :  But then, we do get to choose our ideals . Our ideals can change. If we let it. Ze :  Psychology is not for the fainthearted. Ze :    Dealing with the mentally unstable, insane, volatile, and ill... it takes incredible strength , mentally, you have to be like... 300 Spartans. Just be THAT strong. Ze :  The emotions... once it grabs a lot of your attention.... it doesn't let loose easily . I practice emotional control. Control the chemical equilibrium in your brain. Ze :  In real life, you have to learn to be tough because reality.. is well... real. You don't have to give up idealism entirely. Only the portions that conflict directly with reality. You can keep the ideals that give you a survival advantage. So...
