Nice Book + Nice Jog = Good Time

Hiya people, its been some time since i post.. To busy being lazy.. ;) Keke.. Well the day started out pretty average with work at the call center.. Best thing was the very first call was some old man who have a bloody attitude, a "smart" comment on every single thing.. Well some may find it charming but i found it irritating.. Haha


After work shop around abit browsing bookstores searching for a nice read.. As it is, I chanced upon this gem of a book which a tall classy colleague introduced to me. Here's a picture of it..

Its a really interesting and thought provoking book, it examine and discuss ideas on how we live our lives and how we can improve it.. All this ideas come about through a motorcycle trip the author shared with his son.. Reading through the first 3 chapters, it makes me miss the times riding a motorcycle in thailand.. Perhaps i should go about getting my class 2b again.. =]

In chapter 3, it introduce an idea, that how much we care about a task or something can be seen from the haste in which we go about doing it.. For example, if we really care about our studies, we would approach our homework with more care and patience rather than just rushing through it. Its an interesting idea and i was thinking about this idea and how it relates to my own experience as i went about my late night jog.. With this in mind the run became very enjoyable as i chew over the thought..

Looking back, i realise how hypocritical i was in many things i do.. Certain principles which i thought i have upheld and deem to be true to myself will in fact just a bunch of hot air when compared with how i fell inside.. I only realise how i truely felt about this things through my actions.. Examples?? well i always tell myself to enjoy the journey, take my time.. Yet i am always rushing from place to place.. At work, i tell myself i care about the customer needs which is rubbish if one here my conversation speed.. Also when it comes to friends needs, i tend to try to rush through them, going through every point on my agenda without really addressing their needs..

Well the school term is starting soon in about a months time, i will try to apply this principle to my ongoing in everyday life.. To friends and family, and things i care about..

Cheers =D
