Do you get the right Google?

 

I have been following MarkManson’s articles for quite awhile that his post for every Monday is a downright inspirational wake-up call. Not the normal read-it-and-forget inspiration. It’s the kick-your-ass inspiration. You might think I am exaggerating but he can discuss something as simple as philosophy but comes out to be a remarkable discover that yet to be talked widely about even though the answer is obviously there. On. The. Table. 

          It lets me think about how people nowadays consume the same information, same news, yet could give out different opinions viewing the same issue.

          Let’s talk about the most current nerve-wrecking hot topic – COVID19. Could you imagine seeing how real this pandemic is, there are still people in this world not believing this is a REAL STUFF adversely affecting the entire populations. People are still going out and have fun without thinking the consequences by not practicing physical distancing and wearing protection. No matter how many fucking million times the government advocates to put on the god darn mask, people can be still seen goofing around in crowded places without giving a darn to this lethal pandemic virus. (Seriously la, if you want to god darn die, don’t drag other people to suffer because of you, duh. Definitely not saying you, the reader. If you are wise enough to read my blog, you are definitely not 100% also got 91.9% good-citizen quality in there for you 😉).

          Okay, back to the topic. So, awareness is so easy to raise but yet is it  that everyone will believe into the awareness and take action upon it? Highly doubting it, since you can see there are still police going around to catch the breaker of rules.

DO YOU GET THE RIGHT KNOWLEDGE? 

          Our education has been so far a "spoon-feeding system". It made us to stop questioning and use our critical-thinking brain. Living in a technology booming era, it does not make us more educated but more biased into our own ideology. Google lets everyone to have a chance to know everything; yet it lets us to have the chance to drive more deeply into our own thoughts and our beliefs.


Why would I say so? 

          Placebo effect vs Nocebo effect. Placebo effect defines: the beneficial effect by a drug/treatment is because of the patient’s belief in that treatment itself rather than the real effect of the drug. Otherwise, nocebo effect means: the treatment will be negative if the patient has a negative expectation of it, even though the drug actually is effective use. 

          Recognizing these effects positively or negatively shows us how important our mind works. Don’t underestimate what your brain can do or tell even in a split second. It tends to happen without your conscious aware of. When one truly believes what he/she holds true of, it is very super hard for people around to say anything to change them. I have tried before, and it never ends up well.

          What we all can do is by believing the facts. The evidences presented can be biased too, you would say. But you should know that this fact is presented by everyone finding out the data, statistics and evidences to prove it. Trust that fact. However, what you are going to do with that fact is all on your choice. Does that make you less knowledgeable or not? Or does it actually open up your mind a little bit and let you have more different side of logical and critical thoughts? Your Google is on your hand. Utilize it wise and right.

Be considerate 做个通透的人

Jason and Vivienne are couples. One night, they were chatting but somehow the guy had a bad working stressful day, so he treated the girl in a dismissive and passive way. The girl did not aware of it since they were having long distance relationship. They hung up instantly after the argument. The girl had some thoughts that wanted to find a better guy because she felt that she deserved better. But somehow, something came into her mind. She should be more understanding and considerate. The boy was working and probably had a rough time, but he still managed to squeeze his time to talk with her. She then realized it would be better to communicate and talk it out when both were in cooling heads. The day after, they were opening up the problem and talked in a reasonable and rational manner, that both came into a consensus to be more understanding into each other and tried to stand inside each other’s shoes. No Adidas? No Nike?? No Yeezy??? It's okay. Stand inside my shoes, so ...

Your Life Your Decison

Let´s say person A has a wealthy, rich family and lives a luxurious life since young. When he hits 22 years old, he is already the CEO of the company his family inherited to him. Meanwhile, person B lives a middle-range family, lives off by his parents´ hard work salary. When he hits 22 years old, he needs to juggle few jobs in order to sustain his living and his family´s too. Would you say that Person A is more successful than person B ? Person B is less luckier than person A? Person A can enjoy his life whereas person B can’t?           That’s your own perception. Your stereotype was haunting your mindset and point of view towards the people that may be living hardship of the life without your knowledge.

Who says Person B always save his m...

React to My Past Overreaction over Seller's Threat

The other night, I was reliving the moment when I felt "threatened" by a random Lazada seller that I resort to multiple ways to try to bring them down. To set the scene, I have actually dug back up my previous post where I posted the incident on my Facebook feed: Back to now, my reaction seems a little bit... exaggerated and too-over. HAHA. Like I was seriously out of emotional control, and most importantly, my friend reminded me how "beyond" I had done back then just to get back to that seller. 1. I reported to the platform's customer service and made sure they understand loud and clear how this seller's response was out of depth and downright disrespectful. 2. I almost reported this incident to the police station, which now I find it ridiculously funny and nonsense. Looking back, the seller did refund me the money but I personally felt violated hence the "attempted revenge". 3. But, I DID report this incident to the related authority. Something a...
