Giving Up Is Good?

When one encounters problem/s, there's two options : either to give up or to persevere? So, it is an ordinary response for one to advice another to continue to persevere in order to solve one's problem/s. Some argue that giving up good. In some cases, giving up can only be the most intelligent way out of a problem. Based on the Illuminated Minds website, giving up is perceived as honoring one's feelings. I find a few interesting things that applies to some of us if not all.

The author urges readers to :

1.Give up trying to be cool
2.Give up wanting to be different for the sake of being unique
3.Give up trying to be everything to everyone
4.Give up trying to have a flawless body, perfect face, or an impeccable wardrobe.Care more about beautifying your mind and being a person who takes beautiful actions.


So, what do you think about this? Is giving up after all a wise thing to do when one is in the verge of breaking down? Most of us don't give up for most of us like to be heroes.Do you feel comfortable of yourself and how you behave?

When I read this article, I don't agree completely that one should give up to be out of a problem. But once again it depends on the individual cases. Life would be meaningless if there's no challenge. To see a beautiful valley on the other side of a mountain, one should climb that mountain. That should indicate my stand on this topic. However, one should not be too hard on oneself for it may lead to negative consequences to one' mental health.

My reading rate is dropping. Thanks to the Internet. Eveything is just a few clicks away..(the information). It's hard to force myself to the library nowadays to browse through all the books to find information when I know that the Internet can provide me all that I need. Therefore, I don't get the extra input. Holidays have been always a blessing. I'm currently doing my university application, learning to drive and just chilling around my house. I have to admit it is always nice to be back home. =)

So, don't give up unless you're sure that you're unable to solve a problem or complete a task. "No Pain No Gain." Have a great holidays!

Another Sunday

Just like any other Sundays, I woke up in the morning, took my breakfast, read the newspaper and now I'm facing my laptop updating my blog. Last Thursday, my father and I went to Johor Bharu to attend my cousin's wedding. We travelled by a bus at 10pm and arrived at J.B at 2.30 in the morning. The journey was exhausting for the traffic was heavy- many were heading to their "kampungs" to celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha. Then we returned home yesterday. I didn't have that much of a fun for I had no company except for my father who was completely absorbed with his old time friends. They had long conversations about their lives. It must be a "walk through history" talk for them. I particularly spend time with my grandparents who also had nothing to do except waiting for the wedding to begin.

What surprises me is, my grandfather could barely walk now. His walking pace declined drastically. Saddening as it can be, he might be developing Alzheimers. The first symptom that shows he has this disease is his impaired memory. He cannot remember my name!!!!!(but he could remember my sister's name.. ) But, that's just my diagnosis. My grandparents are really getting old. They would need really good care.

New Sunday Times- Headlines
SEX AND THE HUBBY
Career-obsessed wives blamed as men turn to call girls...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many are going to have mixed reviews on this. This is about high demand for prostitutes in Malaysia. Who is it to be blamed? This time around career-obsessed wives are pointed out to be causing men to seek prostitutes. I feel that it depends on the individuals. Career-obsessed wives can also be good wives and mothers.
So are we saying that men who seeks prostitutes are on the correct path just because they are provoked to do so?? Final say, men seeking prostitution and women neglecting family are not appropriate actions.

I'm still doing my University applications. Maybe will be going to Shah Alam mid December to clear all my doubts on the forms. Feeling very bad because I have done nothing beneficial this entire November.. Sigh..
That's all for now. Will write another entry before January rolls by..
(Spring 2010.. wooo!!) Time is flying fast.. Once again.. New Year.. New Resolution..

Broken Wing

She loved like he was
The last man on Earth
Gave him everything she had
He'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up on her
Give a little then take it back

She'd tell him bout her dreams
He'd just shoot'em down
Lord he loved to make her cry
You're crazy for believin'
You'll ever leave the ground
He said only angels know how to fly

And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye over the sky
With a broken wings
She carries her dreams
Man you oughta to see her fly

One Sunday morning,
She didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up to the bedroom
Found a note by the window
With the curtains blowin' in the breeze

And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye over the sky
With a broken wings
She carries her dreams
Man you oughta see her fly

With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you oughta see her fly..

Finally...

It's been pretty hectic the last two weeks.. I know that I haven't been writing for a while but I would personally blame exams and time constrain that refrained me from blogging. I had a wonderful Deepavali with my family anf friends. Food was my favorite part of every deepavali...especially my mum's mutton curry..Umm...

In the midst of celebrating Deepavali, I was busy editing a video for Biology assignment. The video was on Aquaria's marine species. The experience there was an awesome one. We, my group, learned a lot of new things on marine life. But, I wasn't completely satisfied for there were just way too little species to observe. The fact that I went with my friends, made the trip evenmore worthwhile.

After the celebration, I headed back to Shah Alam to face a tough week ahead. The Final Exams!!! As a whole, I did ok..(i guess). But, I disliked the overwhelming difficulity of Calculus paper. I always knew that I have no innate capability for Mathematics.. I got to earn for a good grade through sheer hardwork and not last minute studying. Sigh...still... for Calculus finals, I did badly.(I mean it!!!).
Other subjects was pretty much doable. I just hope that my final grade for Fall 2009 would not suffer too much. Do have high expectations for the final grade. Who knows what the final results might be??

After the finals, we the students can be seen smiling from ear to ear and everybody was relieved that Fall 2009 has marked its end. Elated and happy I was to complete my finals. The next day the Biotechnology students participated in a trip to UKM center where we went jungle-walking. We saw many plant species that were explained It was a great experience to spent time with anything else but books. Hehe..
Then, the same day I went out for a movie with Thena, Kaneson, Hema, Jasina, Bavani and Thanges. (Law of Abiding Citizen). I rate the movie 9/10. Very impressed.
Then, it's Sunday, today that is!! Tomorrow, I got a trip to Genting Highlands with friends.. I needed a vacation to regain what I've lost for four months. Maybe, i make studying sound so hard, it's actually not. Just that I'm too hard on myself.
That's the way I am. My father use to say that I play hard but study a little more than hard(translated phrase). Haha..But the best part is, I get to rest now and I truly appreciate this break. Hope I would hape a lot of fun in Genting tomorrow.

I would be going back to Seremban next week Thursday or so. Got to complete my unversity application. I applied Iowa, Michigan and Penn State University. So wish to complete everything before going back and have a great time with family.


I'm happy for I finally got to update my blog..Hooray...

And for juniors who are interested in buying my books for Spring 2010, please contact me via e-mail: gesh_rao90@yahoo.com. Thank you..

Ok..have a nice day and all the best to everyone especially to those who are facing major examinations ahead of you.

Selamat Hari Raya!! A week of Home Food..YUmmy..

Selamat Hari Raya to everyone!!! Hope this celebration would be a great one to all my friends who are celebrating. Enjoy the good food...

I'm going back today to Seremban. I can guarantee I'm going to enjoy some good food for one week. I feel my tongue right now has no taste buds...As usual, holidays aren't after all meant for 100% rest. I got to complete my university application papers. Got to go back to my secondary school...And a whole lot of preparation for the coming tests after Raya break. But, it would be still wonderful to spend quality time together with family.

That's it I guess for now..Just drive safely and have fun..It's holidays after all!!
