Your Priority is not His Priority


There are 2 baskets on the table. You could only choose the contents inside one of the baskets. You can´t have both. One contains 1,000,000,000 US dollars cheque. One contains a Ticket to anywhere you want in this world in unlimited times. Which one would you choose? It’s a 50/50 choices. Some would choose the million dollars, or some would choose the freedom to go anywhere (especially in this critically freedom-restricted timing). There’s nothing wrong choosing whichever because everyone has their own preference, hence priorities are different among each other.
          Priorities are a ranking people tend to have or subconsciously decide on when facing a dilemma between both options that inevitably can’t be enjoyed together. When you have a different goal than your aspiring friend, you can’t be shameful to admit that you want to be a superhero but not an engineer that all your friends want to be. You just have different priorities. Period.
          Let me give you an example. Do you still remember the time that in a restaurant, you highly recommended your favorite dish to your beloved friend? You kept telling your friend how scrumptious the dish was, how the chef had brought out the essence of the dish, how every ingredient was complementing each other. Yet, your friend decided to go against you. He/she chose another food that you had a bad experience of. You were furious and angry that your friend was stubborn and being a horrible person for not listening your advice and he/she was going to regret it after tasting the food.
          To be honest, why the fuck do you care if he/she had a bad taste on foods or later on going to go toilet on countless time from eating bad food. But back to the topic, everyone has a different priority, vision for their life. Probably, that friend really likes the rather less favorable dish of you than the recommended dish. He/she put that food as his/her first priority than other food on the menu. It’s okay that they wanted to experience it because it was no harm in it other than some complaint later on. Nonetheless he or she got to bear with it because he/she prefers that.
          People love different things. Some loves punk music; some loves pop songs. Some loves apples; some loves oranges. Some loves to be a leader; some loves to always on the following side. You can’t judge people on their choice that they made, because priorities are different from each other. At this moment I want this nasi lemak. In the next second I might change my mind, choosing the roti canai for my life meal. So, you don’t have to hate him because he likes it differently than you. It’s because priorities are not the same between you guys.
          Surely, there’s also possible for you to have many options on the same plate too. That only could happen when you work hard enough, and the luck is on your side. When the time comes that you can have both the 1million dollars and the ticket to travel anywhere, do hit me up. I could be your new priority if you let me into your life. 😉

Don't let stupid moments kill your kindness

Being a perfectionist Virgo ♍ ︎ can be difficult in life when you face those dumbheads that always can’t do their jobs right (in my case, assignments and team projects) and all you can do is just to help them to wipe their ass, fixing their problems. How could you deal with that? Nonetheless, the way you approach to help them is very important to let them know that they could be better next time and learn how to view it as a lesson themselves, by doing it nicely instead of blatantly pushing them without boundaries .           Instead of hitting around the bushes - or cars since greenery rarely seen in urbanized cities anymore, then just boom and crash with light and care ;)  Talk directly in a nice and kindly way to them. Let them know how serious or sever the issue is if they do not complete the task by certain time periods. Approach to provide assistance or aids to them even when they do not ask for it. Key note: do it with kindness ...

Health or Hell

When it comes to health, it is not only physical health that matters. Mental health is, too. In this 2020, hatred comments and ‘spice-criticism’ is as easily found as the disease and virus around us. I just wanna touch on those issues real quick. After you finish reading it, please step to outside, take a deep breath and hurry back inside before you get the widespread virus. (Totally kidding here! – or am I?) PHYSICAL HEALTH           In this week, I was sick and felt more subjected to some responsibilities to go see the doctor instead of the old way of mine, eating no-medicine and let-it-heal-itself method. Because of one thing. COVID-19. Once upon a time, I mean, before the virus is pandemic around the world, people were not aware of their health and just ate whatever they feel delicious about. Now, supplements and vitamins and Toilet Paper are the things people hurriedly grab before the price hikes up to equally a 10-karat ring. ...

not Cool being Fool but acting Cool is Foolish

The most daunting question asked in interview is not these: “What is your strength?”, “What do you think you can contribute to the company?” or “What is your career aspiration?”. To me, the make-my-heart-stop-a-beat question is “Do you have any questions for us (the company)?”.             My inner thought is like: Wow, now you want me to ask you questions when this is an interview OF me? Most of the time, we think that job interviews are for us to show the best version of ourselves to fit the criteria and requirements of the job sets. No question asked. But little do we realize that this is not a full-on Q&A section for company to know you. It is an interactive conversation between 2 parties who want to get the best out of each other for the better.             People tend to have this misconception that only people who are fool and stupid ask questions, especially tho...
