Negative comment

I wondered, how do we usually react when we have negative comment thrown to us?

Usually, our first reaction will be either to defend ourselves, counter attack back or dismiss the comment. I'm sure nobody like being given negative comment on. One will surely be thinking why the other person think he/she is qualified to give negative comment to us, when he/she might not know what is the actual fact or hidden cause or what's actually happening.

But sometimes, do we really ponder upon the negative comment? Is it really merely just a snide remark or is it a constructive feedback? Sometimes we are so caught up in our own world, that we tend to ignore the comment that is hurled toward us. And yet, sometimes, the comment maybe is to remind us to improve our current situation and though it may sound sarcastic to us at that moment.

So, don't we need to digest first on the negative comment given? Whether they are just simply biased remarks or they are actually point for us to ponder and work on.
Not to say that it is easy to receive negative comment to us, but maybe we just need to brace up and analyse awhile.

How to get things done faster

How do we get things to be done faster? Now with two LO on the tow, there's no more slacking allowed. Well, want to start tackling on work stuff first, so that work stuff continues to remain to be done at working hours. But how to ensure that work stuff don't overflow the working hours?

Had come across an interesting article from Kaye Ramos, which states "When you learn to let go of things that do not work, you become the magnet of things that work". There are quite a lot of quotes she mentioned in her article as well.
Allow me to list down some points that attracts me.

"Go small to achieve more"

"For everything you have missed, you have gained something else; for everything you gain, you lose something else" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Success requires that you follow the 80/20 Principle, but you don't have to stop there. Go even smaller by finding the vital few of the vital few. Start with as large of a list as you want, but develop a mindset that you will whittle your way from there to the critical few and not stop until you end with the essential one." - Gary Keller

"If others are sleeping, that's when you wake up and learn the game. If others are whining, that's when you step up and train. If others are giving up, that's when you press on and stick to the game. Discipline will be your greatest partner toward success."

"Pain is part and parcel of the deal. It's not a question of whether you will hurt, or how much you will hurt; it's a question of what you will do, and how well you will do it while pain has a wanton way with you." - Daniel Brown

"You don't need to overwhelm yourself with many choices by being jack-of-all-trades. You will indeed master nothing."

"If you give up the clutter that impedes your growth, you will eventually see the person you can become."

The light in your eyes

Was wondering what's so nice about this drama. Had caught the first episode on TV but found it to be an average show, one that you don't find it pity to give a miss. Then on and off, had a glimpse of the show. And out of curiosity, read through the last two episodes.

Through wiki, found that it's actually quite a recent drama, just on air early this year. And this drama is actually well-liked as it shown the daily life struggle. Couldn't help shedding tears when read through the finale.
Here I shared the final message of the show, as recapped in dramabeans.

My life was filled by misfortune but there were happy moments too.

They say that life is nothing but a mere dream but I was still grateful for mine. The cold, brisk air at dawn, the sweet breeze right before flowers start to bloom, and the scent of sunset that fills the air at sundown. Every single day was dazzlingly beautiful.

Even if you’re struggling right now, everyone alive has the right to enjoy all this. Even if one ordinary day is followed by another ordinary day, life is still worth living. Don’t waste the present regretting the past and worrying about the future. Live this day beautifully with light in your eyes. You deserve it.

To all of you who were a mom, a sister, a daughter, and yourself.

I like the part saying that, even if you are struggling in your life, you should enjoy it; even if life is ordinary, it is still worth living for.

Don't you agree?
