Brain

I love to ponder. And so happen while at work i was reading the newspaper and there was an article on a book titled Soduku, i tried one of their problems, by the way soduku is a kind of puzzle where there's total of 54 boxes, and the rule is you have to fill it up with number 1 to 9 only once on each vertical boxes and horizontal boxes. When i read the rules it got my brain excited. So i decided to buy the book. The book consist of 201 puzzles with 5 diffrent difficulty levels.
One thing good about this Soduku Puzzle is that other than solving the puzzle it self, you will discover many ways to solve it, some of the method even i would'nt think of it.

The brain is just like any other muscle that is on your body, the more you train it, the better it gets.
Just like if you train your right arm only, your left arm would be weaker tan your right. So any one can be a Human Calculator, Anyone can be a Master in memorising things. All you have to do is train your mental abilities. It's the only way to get it done. Work it.

The path that leads to your destiny.

Questions
Does everything that you do each day has it's purpose or just part of your plan that has to be carried out?
Is it just mere coincidence that things happened in the present is related to the past?
Do you really have a choice to change your future?

The Story
For example, a girl of age 19 years old, who wanted be a musician. She got this inspiration from her father who loves to play the piano during his free time. She has special interest in the violin, but unfortunately she can't afford to buy one, so she decided to find a part time work. The days are tough and no job vacancies, she looked everywhere for a job. 3 Weeks of searching ends as a friend of hers named jack, who worked in a restaurant has a job vacancy.
Months has pass, and she really enjoyed working with her friend jack. She is so grateful to have such a friend who has help her get a job, as with a few months pay, she is able to buy her dream violin. Her relationship with Jack grows, and they started dating each other during their off days.
One the 3rd pay, she has sufficient money to buy her violin. She was so happy and decided to bring along Jack. The minute she told him that she wanted to buy a violin, Jack smiled widely. She discovered that Jack too has a violin at his home, and often plays at a concert performing for various musical functions. She too delighted to have someone sharing the same interest as hers.

Thoughts
then came the my own thoughts...
what if she didn't plan to buy the violin, will she meet jack?
What if she manage to get a Job without Jack, will she be in a relationship?
What if her interest was not actually the violin, and it is the piano?
Is it her destiny to meet a person who has the same interest hers?
Or is it just pure coincidence?

These story shows the path that leads to each and everyone's destiny, we are able to choose. Either way we will reach the end, it's the journey that makes the difference, and that journey makes us think more before deciding which option is better.
Like in the story, it started with her own heart, her intention of becoming a musician. She chooses the violin, if she chooses the piano and follows her dad's passion, it will lead to a different journey but in end she will meet jack. ( the story continues below ). With intention and decision, she carried out her Plan, inoder to succeed she must earn some money by finding a job, through her job she found jack.
Let see what if, she chooses the piano.

The Alternate Story
For example, a girl of age 19 years old, who wanted be a musician. She got this inspiration from her father who loves to play the piano during his free time. She has special interest in the violin. Looking at her father who plays the piano well, she decided to join her father a let her father teach her how to play the piano.
Months passes by, and her skill for the piano is improving very well. Her father is very impress with her. Not long after that her father decided to make her join a musical band, performing for some functions. She was so glad, that her father go all the way to make her piano skill recognized.
During the musical function, various musician played their instruments, and so did she. Everyone applause and cheered. Then while she was back in the audience seat to watch the rest of the musicians play, she saw Jack, her long lost friend. Jack on stage gave her a smile while playing his violin.
after the whole event, they meet up and talked about how impressive both of them played their instruments. They exchanged numbers, and went on a date the next day, and began their relationship.

Thoughts
As you can see, they are fated to meet each other, but on which decision that they made, that makes their journey a whole different story.

Wheel of Life

Ever heard of the saying "Wheel of Life" or fate or destiny?
It's like whatever you do, it will come back to you. Or something like for today it's your day and another day will some other people's day.

Come to think of it, it's like retribution and reward. If you do something to others, and it hurts their feelings, one day others will do a similar thing that will hurt your feelings.
But sometimes, we do things without thinking twice, often acted out through instinct or through our own emotions.
But when the so called wheel rotates and it's our own time to feel how they feel, by then we would think back, these things happen similarly to how we treated the other person in the past.
We can never run away from it as it will happen and we have to handle it.
Unless, for example, if you wouldn't mind people disturbing you, then by all means disturb others, as they will disturb you back. But not in a case where you really like to disturb others but doesn't want others to disturb you.

For today

No one will read your Blog unless, they have an interest in your life, knows you well and wants to find out more of what you do, has a common interest, and last of all, knows that you got a Blog.

Time now is 3:08pm. Soon it will be 3:30pm then 7:00pm get ready for work, then 8:00pm starts work, then 1:00am do some desk manning at work, then 7:00am get ready to go home, then 10:00am reaches home have breakfast and ready to sleep,then 7:00pm wakes up for my 2nd night shift and getting ready, then 8:00pm starts work, then 1:00am do some desk manning at work, then 7:00am getting ready to go home, then 10:00pm reaches home and end of night duty.

Our life sometimes can be predictable, but those little things that happen in between that spice up our life.
The predictable ones are your daily routine, but how about years after years?
Like going to school, 6 years in primary school, 4 years in secondary school, those are the long years and memorable years that carries you right to this very day.
Remember, the past can be both painful and sweet at the same time. Those are the important ingredient for the future.

Meaningful Thoughts

Something that you enjoy doing doesn't mean you're good at it.
Something that you're good at it doesn't mean you're enjoying it.

For me, I like thinking games, like chess and puzzle games, but I come think of it, I actually not an expert in that area. I wouldn't see myself winning it or becoming skillful, in fact I enjoy playing it.

Another case is that I'm good at action games like first person shooting games, and action fighting games. And I can say for myself, I'm quite skill in that area and actually won various games that I've played. But I tend to play less of those games.

So is it true that if you tend to Enjoy something doesn't mean you have to be good at it? And Being good at it have that lack of enjoyment?

So how about work and carrier?
Finding a work that I Enjoy it? Or Skill in doing it?
Well I would choose Skill, with skill you can overtake others, but with just pure enjoyment for your own entertainment, would get you anywhere as there's others who is in the scope of your so call enjoyment is actually skillful than you.

Example, if I enjoy playing chess, there's others who is skillful then me, so in the end I'm losing in my own dream game.
But if I'm skill in playing action games, I would have the possibilities of outbeat the rest and became a champion.

So it's either the mind set of others and your own interest.
