One of the good nights alone

Being very determined to cook the chicken which i took it out of the freezer since Saturday, I went straight to make my dinner once i got home. Luckily, it was still fresh. Quite proud of myself because i resisted the temptation of having it easy by Peter's "Want to go Stones?" Stonestown is a shopping mall near my place. but, nah...

And, my housemate made soup, i "cope" (took in Singlish) 1 big bowl!!! It was some Mexican noodle soup with chicken. It was good. This dinner is considered a good meal, according to my "live alone meals" standards.



The callus under my left foot is getting worse. It has thicken so much that it hurts to put little pressure when i walk. I bought more callus remover pads with salicylic acid. Xiu Hua-my long time friend who is pursuing nursing in Mel is helping me get advice from her friend, a podiatry. :) I'm going to give it 1 more month, or else i'm going under the knife.

Today one of the founders of "Enyce" http://www.enyce.com/ came to my school to give a talk about his clothing company. But surprisingly, he didn't present much stuff on his business. Instead, he was talking about his life, how his personality and values helped him in surviving in the throat cutting industry. His keys to success.
1) Have leadership
2) Know what you don't know
3) Endings are beginnings
4) Love what you do!!!
5) You have to produce results
6) Don't be afraid to think big, take risks and make commitments
7) Have a belief
8) Trust others, Trust yourself
9) Seek help from others when you don't know
10) Generology = Give back to the world
11) Don't take things personally. 10% is what you do, AND 90% is your reaction to the situation.
12) Be the gardener to your garden. Have pure seeds, so that you can cultivate pure thoughts.

and finally, he left us with this poem which i think is inspiring..


Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

By Portia Nelson

Chapter I

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in
I am lost . . . I am helpless
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter II

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter III

I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in . . . it’s a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter IV

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter V

I walk down another street.

Simple, yet beautiful....:)
