I'm not so sure why, but i received some weird comments on my posts.. I'm talking about posts that are a few months back, but people commented like a few weeks back.. Weird right?!?
I was watching the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother that aired yst.. And the morale of the story, guys are suckers for girls.. No matter how much a guy wanna deny it, they would change momentarily just for them..
This lead me to my next point.. Something similar happened this week.. Not to me.. But a friend of mine.. This friend of mine, kept denying it, but really, we all know it..
It started with me asking him to study together during our study week.. But he kept saying, aiya, see how lah, in a nonchalant manner.. Days later, I saw a female friend of his asking him to study together.. In an enthusiastic manner, he replied, in his own words, "YEA ALRIGHT. sometime this week i guess. will bbm you :)" WA STILL GOT SMILEY SIOL..
After confrontation, with such undeniable evidence, he still insist! Insist his innocence.. But we all know the true story.. Just like the latest episode in How I Met Your Mother, where Ted said ,"this isnt about the girl, this is about the building". The building in this instance would be to study together.. But Ted later admitted that it is about the girl.. So yea, it's true, we know it.. BUSTED! hahahaha..
Another thing on my mind is the phrase "don't settle".. It's weird really.. It all started last week when i met up with Hp and Matt, but Matt came later so i chatted with Hp first.. And he talked about starting salaries.. He mentioned examples of people who's starting pay is $8k a month or $10k a month.. And that it made him change his mindset on starting pay.. Somehow, the phrase "Don't settle" fits the bill here..
And from my previous post, I talked about a friend who jumps from r/s to r/s.. And I concluded to myself while i was spacing out today when i was studying, never settle for something less or second best.. And when I got home, it happened again, I was watching this link on Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, giving a speech at a graduation.. He shared about his life lessons and one lesson was not to settle..
He said the only way to be truly satisfied is to believe what you are doing is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven found it yet, keep looking and DON'T SETTLE! As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking, DON'T SETTLE!
It's like deja vu man. Steve Jobs likens finding a job to finding a partner and to not settle till you found the one. And before watching the video, the phrase "Don't settle" came up to me in two situations, "starting pay - work", and "relationship - partner". I think it's a clear message what I need to do for both.. hahaha..
Don't settle for my career..
Don't settle for my love life..And lastly, an internal joke, with plenty of pun intended,
EH MILO PENG! MORE ICE! FASTER!!
