10 Bad Things That Are Good For You

1. Listening to Loud Music
You experience more pleasure from it.

2. Texting, Not Talking
More discreet, therefore a preferred mean of communication to youngsters in family communication.

3. Pounding the Pavements
Strengthen the cartilage around the knee.

4. Being a Bit Overweight
Greater reservoir of nutrition in time of illness.

5. Full Fat Dairy
"less likely to develop 'metabolic syndrome,' a cluster of symptoms such as high blood pressure, blood lipids and glucose levels that can lead to diabetes, heart disease and stroke."

6. Caffeine
Delay development of Parkinson's in men and probably prevent gallstone and improve performance of athletes. (Sounds good to me!)

7. Booze
Red wine and Beer helps against heart disease.
Gin and tonic prevent night cramps.

8. Computer Games
Helps hand-eye coordination and increases IQ! Good for learning physics (-> I must have played too little during childhood).

9. Sugary Soft Drinks
People who drink the sugarless counterpart are more likely to be overweight, since it's more healthy and you tend to drink more. It's all in the mind.

10. Being a Working Mum
Not relevant to me, but better health in general for working mothers.

The most important part is still to do the above ten in moderation. Too much of anything is usually a problem even if it's good.

I Have Plentiful

What are things you treasure? I'll make a guess.

Is it something that you have very little of? Something rare is usually something of value. And this rare item is gonna make you become very possessive of it, making you don't want to let go of it.

I've just read a book and there was a solution proposed by the author(unfortunately, I don't remember the title of the book), which I find very useful.

In order to let go, first, you need to acquire more of that item. That will mean if you are possessive of your handphone, buy plentiful of handphone; if you are possessive of your home electricity, use more electricity, etc. Of course, these analogies sucks.

When you feel you have plenty of your treasured item, you feel less pain if you were to share them with other people.

Team Work

A man takes 1 year to complete building a house. How long does it take 5 men to complete building the same house.

The answer: definitely less than 73 days.

Road crossing

Teacher: Class, today we'll be having practical lesson on crossing the road. As you can see, the roads are very dangerous and so we have to be extra careful when we cross the road. Remember the sequence - Stop, Look, Go. When you come to a road, stop, then turn to look to your right, then left, then right again. When the coast is clear, you can start crossing the road. Shall we start?

Student A walks up to the road, stop by the roadside, turn his head right, left, then right again, following every instruction to perfect precision and successfully cross the road. For his great work, he receives A+.

Student B walks up to the road, stop by the roadside, look to his right, seeing no car, he crossed the road, and made it across safely as well.

The teacher walks up and gave the youngster a dressing down for not following instructions and demanding a reason for his action.

Student B: But this road is a one-way road, why do I need to look to the left?

Are you student A or student B?
