When is life fair?

Oct 17, 2008 | Categorized Under: Thoughts | | Comments

All is fair, including the life, when everything is working the way you want. And it is considered not fair when things and circumstances are working against us.

This is how I m feeling these days; my life is kind of leaning toward my desired destination. So life is fair to me.

Reading a book finally

Oct 17, 2008 | Categorized Under: Uncategorized | | Comments

After a long time, I have grabbed a book that I read at least 5 pages of. Not sure though if I should really call it a book – for it’s a review book. Often time somehow we don’t seem to talk about it as a book. Maybe it is because they only take a tiny share of the book market. anyways I am glad to have it to and hopefully it I will see the good results.

Paycheck day

On a side, just when I got to work I realized it’s a paycheck day at one of my jobs. Nothing to be really happy about, except I will be able to pay off some of the debts I owe.

Kinda weird that we forget

I just kinda realized that most of us forget our nose run all the way up between our eyes – atleast I did. We know where our nose ends at, the tip and the two holes are so obvious. But the upper part is like hidden, maybe because our eyes overshadows it.

A while ago, I was looking at an image displaying anatomy of a skull, and noticed the lacrimal and nasal bone lie in between the eye sockets.

How to do more things in a day?

Oct 14, 2008 | Categorized Under: Thoughts | | Comments

There have been many occassions where I felt like I did not really do much that day – or infact nothing really got done. This kind of problem often arise for two reasons: being lazy and keep procrastination or just too many things to do in a mere 24hours day. But my problem is caused by neither of them.

One of the most important trick to getting a lot of things in a day is to start doing things early. And if you are like me who complains about getting very less things in a day, you should consider starting early – wake up early. Going to bed late is one of bad habit that is taking over me. If I work until late night I can’t do anything to resolve it, but what I could do is don’t stay up long after I get home. That’s the promise I am making to myself – assuming only the rules and bones are meant to be broken, not the promises.

Tibetans as one of the most successful refugees in the world

My gf sent me an article few weeks ago and today I had a chance to read it again. It was a review of the book named Exile as Challenge: the Tibetan Diaspora. Being a Tibetan, it was intersting to note the key three factors where Tibetan leads as an example of refugees who have obtained success in their lives:
- thriving as a community: regardless of where Tibetans have settled, they have been able to stay within or start their own Tibetan communities around the world.
- economic standards: Tibetan as a group typically standout financially in most areas they live. Examples include South India and Nepal.
- higher education: more and more Tibetans are educated and new generations are opting for careers that was once considered as an out of reach education program, such as medical and law degrees.
