The Law of the Seed...
Take a look at an apple tree.
There might be five hundred apples on the tree, but each apple has
just
ten seeds.
That's a lot of seeds!
We might ask,
"Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple
trees?"
Nature has something to teach us here.
It's telling us:
"Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow".
So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try
more
than once."
This might mean:
You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.
You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.
You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, one vacuum
cleaner,
one insurance policy, or a business idea.
And you might meet a hundred acquaintances
just to find one special friend.
When we understand the "Law of the Seed",
we don't get so disappointed.
We stop feeling like victims.
We learn how to deal with things that happen to us.
Laws of nature are not things to take personally.
We just need to understand them - and work with them.
IN A NUTSHELL
Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds.
When Things Are Beyond your control,
here's something that you must NOT DO so as to
avoid misery in your life:
You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be.
You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave.
Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, you get angry!
That's what miserable people do!
On the other hand, let's say you expect that:
Friends SHOULD return favours.
People SHOULD appreciate you.
Planes SHOULD arrive on time.
Everyone SHOULD be honest.
Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday.
These expectations may sound reasonable.
But often, these things won't happen!
So you end up frustrated and disappointed.
There's a better strategy. Demand less, and instead, have
preferences!
For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself:
"I WOULD PREFER "A", BUT IF "B" HAPPENS, IT'S OK TOO!"
This is really a change in mindset.
It is a shift in attitude, and it gives you more peace of mind ...
You prefer that people are polite .... but when they are rude, it
doesn't
ruin your day.
You prefer sunshine ... but if it rains, it is ok too!
To become happier, we either need to
a) Change the world, or
b) Change our thinking.
It is easier to change our Thinking!
IN A NUTSHELL
It is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your
attitude
attending
to the issue that is the problem.
It's not what happens to you that determine your happiness.
It's how you think about what happens to you!

Woke up about 10+ to Zoe's sms asking if we are awake.... (which i replied ..yes.. although i was still in bed)... Then got ready...and then we were geared up to pick Baby's Bro + Zoe for shopping day!!!! (Me and Zoe had to negotiate with both of them to bring us shopping..lols..bcoz they both complain that we gals shop too long...they very sien. in the end, we both gals must treat them dinner).. We went for breakfast at a food court near our place.. Not nice food T__T ...but nvm la, i wasn't very hungry anyway... Then it was MONT KIARA (or somewhere near there) SHOPPING TIME!!! went to Cats & Whiskers boutique....and 3 more boutiques around that area...shop shop shop~~ I bought one top and a dress there~~ <333 Happy happy me~~ Super afordable price and the clothes there are gorgeous as well~ Then.. off we headed to Mid Valley Complex~!!

*Deep sigh* ... I am EMO! over?? ... lots of things... Sometimes, i think i worry too much for my own good... I pray for Shyan's health...hope she gets well from her diarrohea soon.. =) .... I pray for Yee Chien's examination...hope all goes well for her, and her results are good =) ... I pray for Anna's well-being , hope she is safe and happy always.... I pray for May aiai.... i hope she will be able to find someone who really loves and cares for her more than he loves himself... I pray that Eric will find a better job...I pray for his health too... I pray for mummy's health..... I know we may not be of same opinions sometimes...and we argue now and then.... but I want you to know that I love you alot mummy...thank you for everything..... I am not sick...i am just a little unwell... I am not crying.... tears are just flowing from my eyes... I'm not sad.. I'm just ...emo... I wish sometimes that I am able to handle my feelings better... I wish sometimes that I am stronger.... I don't like looking back at the past....But the past serves as a reminder of the future... I remember ..a friend of mine..by the name of Grace...she told me.. "No guys and gals in this world can ever be just best friends..and nothing more than that...its just baloney..." Is it true?? Can guys and girls just be really close friends and nothing romantic? Well, actually, i don't think its possible too...i don't think any guy or any girl can ever be close with a person of the opposite sex without having a single teeny weeny bit of feelings for each other.... even if its just 0.01% . I am learning to trust..... its not an easy thing for me.... having being lied and cheated so many times before.... trust is a fragile thing for me..... i hate being emo... #$(*U#(@#@)* damn... I hate feeling helpless.... i hate it when things does not go the way i want it to be (but thats life isn't it? ) -_-" I am sorry.. i am just being emo.
