Self-esteem calculation table

Self esteem depends on your own self concept. In another word, what you care and what you matter most, when you are good at it, you feel good (boost self-esteem/confidence). Vice versa, if you are bad in things that you think it is important, you think you sucks (low self esteem/confidence). Easy ;p

Some living and pass example (P/S - Self esteem = SE, tired of repeating the same words again and again)

Bill Gates

Dropout from Harvard	Unimportant	SE remains the same
Sense of Achievement for conning Asian to get addicted to Window	DAMN Important	SE shoots high!!!!!!
Million- worth of donation	Too many to spend, not bother	SE remains high
Look like nerd	Who bothers when you have $$$	SE remains high

Conclusion = SE high

Albert Einstein

Hair-style	Pioneer to Korean idols (Referring to Boys Over Flower main actors). Yet, not important	SE= Don’t know. Well, I don’t think he even bother styling your hair since you will end up messing your hair when you do math.
Nobel Prize Winner	Duh, this is a dreamland for any scientists. Important!!!	SE= High, very very high
E= MC2	I spent 3 months on this during Form 5 physics class. It is must be hard for him to develop this. Important!!!	SE= High + High = So high (It is not what you think it is)
Money	Nah, he has all the fame and books he ever dreamt of.	Not important. SE remains so high.

Conclusion = SE high

Tiger Woods

Currently World No. 1 golfer	Important, but nothing compared to his wife. Not important now.	SE= fairly low
Affairs!!!!!	I would be happy if I’m him. But, to him, it is no longer something to be proud of now. Not important	SE= very low (a.k.a Low V, I’m trying to be lame)
Career Break	That’s the K.O punch, to complete the final part of the misery. Very important	SE= L.O.W (He is bad in things that he matters most)
Money	I guess money is the fuel for all these affairs. So, important to both me and Woods. (Once your wife returns, you will resume your routine, then you’ll need back all your money)	SE= Low, but below fairly low, above Low V

Conclusion = SE low

Edward Chan Waihong

Any random achievements and awards	You mean kindergarten’s top student award? That’s important	SE= High (I can only obtain my sense of pride via expired awards)
Shopping	Look at all the ‘prizes’ in my wardrobe and I bet that can make thousands of girls scream!!!	SE = Very high
College Performance	No comment	SE= High (Dropped a bit)
Money	……… Cukup cukup pakai	SE = Neutral (Dropped again)

Conclusion = SE neutral

See the table above, it is really depends on your personal opinion whether or not you think you are good. Don’t just look at things that you are sucks in. Explore fields that you are unique and good with. Now, stand up (beware, don’t hit on your com) and be proud of yourself. ;p

The art of procrastination

I finally got my 2010 planner. I spent almost 2 months hunting for a right one. The reason i finally make my mind to buy this planner is because it is specially design for procrastinator, i mean myself ;p

Some of the nice quotations in my planner which i think it is very true, making me feel proud to be a procrastinator.

1)Most people procrastinate; others are just lying.

2)Procrastination is not genetic; you need to practice to become good at it.

3)If life is short, a long task list seems quite silly.

4)WARNING: Finishing every item on your-to-do list can cause boredom, disorientation and emptiness.

5)Work is like exercise, it is best to start slow.

6)Work is inevitable, why rush to get to it?

7)Never refer to yourself as a procrastinator; You are only a thoughtful plotter.

8)Experts say procrastination can lead to stress, depression and misery. Work causes the same things but quicker.

9)Articles condemning procrastination are written by overworked people who are jealous of procrastinators.

10)Procrastination is the art of relaxing in the face of adversity.

Nothing is Impossible

'I'm so afraid of my daughter. When I knew that she is dating with a guy that is 6 years older than her, i called her straight away. She told me that her boyfriend is currently working, someone that she can communicate and depends on. Well, i used to tell her that study first, dating last. But it seem like when the feeling is there, nothing you can do to stop it. How about you, Waihong? Still single?'

Chatting with my mom's friend is like announcing a formal news in press conference. ' Well, can't get the right one'. My mom smiled.

'Don't be so picky, handsome. But it is better not to date when you are studying. My god, i just hope that she don't get pregnant so soon. You know, teens nowadays.'

'It depends. You can stand tough on your own choice. If you don't want, nothing can make you change your mind but yourself.' I said.

'As if you won't. That's because you haven't get one girl that you love and she is sitting on a bed' She is sure an open-minded mom. I never think of it (though it is not a convincing fact.). I always think that i can withstand such seduction until she asked me that question. Now, nothing is impossible.

'Time to go, boy' My mom smiled and waited me at the car. ;p
