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.

Resolution is USELESS

I have set up the grandeur 2020 resolution yet this whole week shows how fucking weak and useless my self-discipline control of myself. I had literally done anything, but the manila card-based resolution put in front of my desk. Exercise. My daily set-up routine for my body fit-up was a complete first disaster that led me to my “bed potato” lifestyle. I had watched a full movie/drama/Youtube short video right in my comfort zone. Ridiculously wasting my time on some soup opera shows and hopeless rom-com. 5am clock. Waking up early is and always will be that complete impossible thing to do for me. People say successful people wake up early like 5am, so that they can organise their stuff and get important things done by 11am and spend the rest of them to upskill themselves and improve their skills. Whereas, a 1130am class for me had already been a difficult challenge for me to go on time. Savings. I put GaryVee picture all around my resolution so that I can fucking look at his...

You don't change,Lives change you

Changes might sound terrifying to you, especially when you are used to being in your own comfort zone. But, change is the only constant in life . I just wanna be the best of me Even though sometimes, we might disagree So that I can be the best for you That's all I wanna do The current worldwide pandemic is the greatest example at this moment, if not the worst. We are forced to make some changes in our daily lifestyles to accustom to the situation we face right now. We are staying at home when we should be out there working or studying. We are staying at home when we should be enjoying the sunset after a long walk with our loved ones. We are staying at home because we need to be “there” to help our frontliners fighting against the virus. Before this whole panic happened, I guess a lot of people were very comfortable in their current states. I do not mean that it was actually a bad thing. Being happy and content about your life is something I wouldn’t ask more for you...

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. ...
