Procrastination is everyone's strength.

Procrastinate is easy. I will do it later, tomorrow, maybe next week, maybe when I am 50. There is one thousand and one wayss to do it but we choose to procrastinate. Is it really wrong? or is there even a wrong or right?  Sometimes, we delay to wait for results. Sometimes, things will clear a path for us when we delay. Sometimes, slower is better, we do not jump to conclusion.  Do it with exertion, with the goal in mind. You can wait for all you needed but set the goal (not a running target).  I hate to admit that I am also procrastinating now. I am 'dragging' myself to work where I should have quit, putting away my RTI cycling plan when I can do it anytime, leaving my backpacking travel on hold when I know I cannot walk as much as I hit 50 or 60.  But all in all, these plans will need to be on hold until I created enough passive income.  Do I need to be a millionaire?  Procrastinate with that plan in mind. It is all leading to it. 

Set a target in every part of your life

I am not referring to new year resolution. We should have move on with that every-year-cannot-be-achieved-resolution if you are reading this blog.  Instead, we should set 5-years target. Something far-fetched but achievable. I used to set targets to achieve at age 30, 35, 40... but till late (47 now), nothing was set since.  30 years old, income to hit SGD3k per month (simple). My income was pretty low then at young age.  35 years old, to own a million $ assets... achieved.  40 years old, liquidity of a million $. not really achieve but I believe I am liquid enough.  With bare necessity fulfilled, house and car (no loan very soon). A great family though arguments still appear. What more do I wanted?  After 40, I remembered I went into a long state of depression if you would call it. I work without motivation or doesn't even feel like working. Working aimlessly, neither happy nor sad. Day in, day out seems like groundhog days. Wasted a long period trying to ...

The Sequence is Not Important

What the hell does it mean?  It came from a dream and this sentence has been lingering even after I awake.  Happened few weeks back.  I read "Art of Work" and its about knowing your calling, answering to it and begin the apprenticeship.  Life would have gotten you to that track if we follow.  Then Steve Jobs Biography talked about him connecting those dots and living our lives, not someone else's. So this sentence in my dream got me going, uncovering more into our calling, our soul. In maths, the sequence is always important cos it applies logic. The only equation that sequence is not important or irrelevant is Pi (3.14.15xxxxxxx), endless stream but meaningless to many. Pi, the circle. Is this indicating to me that life is endless or cycle?  What if our life is a circle? What is the sequence about our life?  Is it trying to tell me that whatever we did is not important? Only the outcome is. Is there an outcome that is important? and is that outcome pr...
