Stuff

I really need new stuff.

New screen protector, new shirts, new controller, new Arduino, new shoes.

 

I should be able to do some shopping for these but I decided to attend the activities out of town. Now I don’t have time to look for them. HOWEVER, I think, after the activities out of town, are better. :) I’ll just find some other time for these things. xD

Decisions

It’s what we do every day, every week, every month and every year. It is the path that we choose to a particular situation and we end up getting the right as well as the wrong one. Then it becomes a repetitive cycle which completely becomes part of our life.

There are decisions that requires minimal thinking and there are decisions that are life-critical. Our whole life depends on what we choose for ourselves and for others. Although the problem here is the aftermath or result of every decision that we make. Sometimes we do get good results and this makes us so much happy, so much joyful and so much fulfilled and sometimes we get unfavorable results which makes us depressed and frustrated. Also, when we get results, we nearly forget everything else. Most of the good decisions we make doesn’t just involve ourselves. We may also involve other people in such a way we ask for consultations from them. They also influence much of what we do: friends, family, co-workers and colleagues. Then, when our decisions come to a bad end, we blame them, we blame everything, not just ourselves.

So what I do every decision I make is to prepare myself for it. You should always prepare for decisions. Preparations for when it goes well and when it goes wrong. When it goes well, you should remember the people involved (there will always be one at least, involved :D ) and thank them for guiding you. When it does not go well, you still go to those people and tell your story, and rather than blame them, just share what you experienced so that you’ll be able to help them when they encounter something similar.

Of course when you end up well after a particular decision, there’s no other word for it, Happy! But when things go wrong, what should you do? Some end up so frustrated, they become so violent. Some are so disappointed that they find something that will patch things up in order to forget it. What I’d do is to try and examine that particular decision again and ask, what could be the cause? What could be the problem? What went wrong? Then, rather than stay there, I ask myself “what’s the next best thing that I can do, so that it won’t happen again or I will know how to encounter it”. And because I prepared for this particular decision, your foundations for coping with the situation is there. Your heart knows what to do once you hear the bad news and then make another set of thinking of the best step that you will take to move on.

Don’t entertain frustrations and disappointments as much as possible.  Take this opportunity, in fact, to rediscover, or if not, discover more yourself. When you entertain these frustrations so much, it’ll lead you to some place not very nice. Venting your disappointments to something isn’t really good and might even make you destructive or unpleasant. Move on and discover yourself.

At some point, it may be unbearable for one to immediately accept the result of the decision or the situation. Then let it fly away slowly, as there is no need to hurry. Hurrying makes us just put patchwork. It’s still there, still visible but when we let the pain heal, it will be more fulfilling despite the bad happening.

Lastly, be cheerful. When you are cheerful, and truly cheerful, no matter how bad the result may be, it will keep you going. Someone who is truly cheerful doesn’t use cheerfulness as a mask(that’s not even cheerful, it’s a means to escape the problem). Someone truly cheerful is what I mentioned above, will accept the situation and make the next best move, which will be another decision. Do this positive thinking on decisions and your decisions will keep getting better and better, more acceptable with any result and more fulfilling. :D
