Time

Time flies and never waits for anyone. I’m amazed at the speed of it flying by. The very last entry of my blog was more than 6 months ago and it then went into an idle mode. I became so busy at work and other personal affairs.
Being interested in so many things and wanting to do so many things, I most of the time overwhelmed myself. Those who know me, my husband, my brother and my cousins will always remind me that I’m being “greedy” :D It’s always so much to do, so little time…
Time management wasn’t an issue to me while in college; I can say I was very good in that. But now, I’m not sure it’s the amount of things I want to do is so vast and scattered or is it the “partly human partly owl” schedule driving me nuts. Anyway, I’m ready to relearn.

Working overnight shift can be so confusing and time consuming. It takes someone to really understand it only when he/she went through it. Not that it’s better but for 3-4 nights/week on a 12 hour shift, I personally feel it’s not the worse. Compare to some who work for 5 nights/ week even on a shorter shift like 8 hours can turn your world upside down.

Anyway, sometimes life is like that, we can’t have everything perfect, correct? But we can work around it to make it better for us and our family. When it’s getting tough, I remind myself that I’m making a difference in my life and of others. Other than that, I want to make sure I’m having fun doing what I’m doing and sometimes I need to create fun for myself to keep things in balance. Okay, talking about BALANCE, now I’m talking about 2 things here. Have fun & enjoy what you are doing; and Time Management- manage your time well so you can be stress free.

One should feel good in whatever they do. Remembering The Secret, if you are not happy about what you are doing, your negative thoughts is sending more on the bad frequency to the universe and calling for more things that make you feel bad. .“It is impossible to feel good and at the same time be having negative thoughts. If you are feeling good, it is because you are thinking good thoughts.” (The Secret)
Do not underestimate our thoughts and emotion. I once read a book says emotion is energy in motion… So our negative thoughts can definitely make an impact on our life and collectively it can even impact the world.
Anyway, be happy and have fun in whatever you do! When they say, learn from a child, I think it’s basically that. They sure know how to have fun & enjoy. :)

Time management! I read Professor Randy Pausch’s The Last Lecture a while ago, but how much do I remember now? Not much. So I’m so happy to accidentally come across his lecture on the web just now. And the topic is TIME MANAGEMENT.

“Being successful doesn’t make you manage your time well.

Managing your time well makes you successful.”

It’s an interesting lecture. I’ve definitely relearn something that I thought I knew. If you are interested, here’s the link to the video:

Do you guys sometimes feel there are so many things in life that we have to relearn?
