7 Easy tips for Success

1. Make the most of the worst
When you’re in a difficult situation, think that if you can handle this one good, you can handle almost anything else better.

2. Watch out
When you read or watch something good always watch out for those things that can improve you as a person

3. Roll out bad ideas
When something bad about someone comes to your mind try to understand that person rather than make judgments

4. Use leisure
Always use free time to add value to your life

5. Try not to be predictable
Think of new ways of doing old things

6. Give gifts
Before someone gifts you something always think of what you can do in return

7. Finally don’t forget the fun part
Creating love, friendship and a little wacky humour every now and then could be healthy

Beautiful, Is Everything!

The beauty of realistic thinking
Is in optimistic predictions

The beauty of troubles
Is in keeping calm no matter what

The beauty of a smile
Is in how honest it is

The beauty in anger
Is in taking charge of it

The beauty in cultivating a home
Is in hearing the laughter of a family

The beauty in living
Is in knowing that beautiful is everything

The beauty in dying
Is in knowing you had a life well lived

Live tomorrow, tomorrow

The tryer dreams of a land that only exists in the tryer’s dreams
The tryer believes not in the land of the living
Nor sees a future in the tangible mess
The tryer laughs at its mistakes and cries at its hopes
As it predicts the tomorrows, it prepares for the worst

The tryer strives to evolve beyond a mere human body to a spiritual greater cause
The tryer is no more than a creature of sand and soil
A reversible piece of organized junk
A messed sixth sense that gives no power or value

The tryer fights its own blood and flesh
Tryer kills; dying in the process
The tryer wishes not for bliss
Nor sees a doorway to freedom
The tryer hears no good words
No good news

Only mystical fireworks inside the dark web that rules
The tryer keeps painting pretty pictures on soiled canvas
It wipes of the scribble marks on the white walls
It sweeps up the troubles under the carpet

To hide and be hidden
Secrets full of woe
It dwells on the hardest thing to do
Not to let it show

It takes more than that….

Considering the comments on my previous post I feel I shouldn’t have said too much knowing I could be influential to people around. As they say what’s done cannot be undone and damn it Murphy; to hell with your law and all the rest!

I Quit

I can’t take it anymore. The stress and everything has taken me over and I am possessed by things of which I have no knowledge of. After a long and totally unconvincing conversation with the man I decided I’m quitting my post grads. I still have time and right now I want to enjoy my life doing the things I “like” doing. I don’t want to be forced into this thing. When I can enjoy myself watching a movie or preparing for a class or reading or sleeping, I’ve got to sit around with boring text reading idiotic stuff. I hate it so much. I tried ahrd to take up the pressure courageously, but failed. I can’t help with chores around the house. I can’t join family and staff trips. All my weekends are screwed. I can’t live my bloody life which is getting sicker by the hour. I keep getting on people’s nerves including my own. No one understands what I’m going through except myself so I have decided to stop it once and for all. I get only one chance to live my life and I can’t sacrifice the best years of it, working for some ridiculous worldly matters that add no value to me. It’s all just for other people’s mere human satisfaction. Why did I ever join this bloody thing… why am I saving up my life? It’ll be time to die when I have saved enough to start living. May be I will regret this decision but seriously if you’re reading this blog you know nothing more than what I have told you. You are half the cause of all the pain and misery that I have to go through whether you like to admit that or not so please, please let me make my own decisions for myself?????

Will I do it?

Let me rule for a day. Give me the place that you are sitting in, for one… just one day!

It’s a sad day when you find out that it’s not accident or time or fortune but just yourself that kept things from you.
Lillian Hellman

When the conversations stop…

The action begins

A language ahead

I was taken by surprise when an MBA mate commented on my Sinhalese He actually told me that my sinhala was very good - not accented; not inaccurate; just perfect. Hmm… May be the sinhala only gets messed up when I give road instruction or directions to the driver which is not a very rare occurrence.

I am thankful to my neighbours with whom I grew up. Our common language of communication was singhala and if not for them, I think I may have ended up being as bad as my mates back in school. This might sound like a brag but I also am comfortable to use the word “know” for a couple of other languages including Divehi, Urdu and Arabic. Of course, most it I have forgotten now due to lack of being in touch. My dad who is very fluent in French never really got around spreading it to me so I have left that for the future. It’s really nice to know a lot of languages and lots of different cultures. It can take you a long way… especially if you are lost in the streets!

Myself

Ok, so I’ve been told that people enjoy reading my blogs. That’s good to hear. Well not all my blogs are a reflection of things I go through in everyday life. It’s just a matter of sheer relaxation and may be even just a teeny weenie bit of enjoyment. Had a lot in mind and blogger gave me a good opportunity to get rid of some of it. Getting people worked up may be I did sometimes (and believe me there’s quite a few actually). I just do it for fun. I know that is wrong to have fun at the cost of other people’s eh… what shall I say… curiosity? Yeah I know I’m a mean girl and most often I pretend to be double triple mean. I don’t know why. Sometimes colleagues notice it and advice me. Others have given up on me saying I’m beyond advice. He he he (evil smile)

It’s been a good year…. I know its an awkward time of the year to say this but it really has. I learnt a lot. I also lost a lot but for now, I forget the losses and remember the diamonds of yesteryear. Thank you all for even the slightest bit of something you gave me!
