A day for yourself....



In todays world, the work phenomena had make a huge impact on our Standard of Living. People seem to work hard in order to achieves what they way in life. Do they really realize that each single minutes will eventually deteriorating their own health if the person dont really know how to manage and have a balance of life???

How often we actually sit down and have time for ourself? The moment that will leaves your brain stop thinking and relax, rejuvenating and recharge.

Back to where i belong....



No where is better to where you come from...

Being a backpacker, my lifestyle is uncertain, dynamic and always on the move. The best part is you gotta see the world out there!

Well lots of you must be curious what's a BIG deal?? or what's so different than what we have here? Perhaps i would say Malaysia still the best, the only different is i've gained great exposure in life by experiencing another culture, country and the different style of living.

This trip really have changed the way i see things today.

Perceive of Happiness.....



Recently, I read an article by Dr. Martin Seligman, a former president of the American Psychological Association. In his article, he shared some valuable insights from his latest research. The objective of this research was to discover, based on empirical data collected from around the world, fulfillment in life. He was able to identified the three main sources of fulfillment.

The first, is living a pleasant life - Hedonic Happiness.
The second, is using one's higest strengths and virtues in one's various spheres of activity and relationships with others.
The third one is deploying one's highest strengths in the service of something larger than oneself.

From this three, you will notice the second and the third source of fulfillment provide much deeper and more spriritual feeling of fulfillment than the first one. What i would like to stress here is, happiness is not determined by materials or econimic wealth or social life. The key to leading a fulfilled life, free of regrets, is to dedicate ourself to a cause, a goal that is lager that us. If you are practising it, then you are leading the greatest of all possible lives - lives of unsurpassed value-creation.
