Go with the flow

Life should be fun & easy if you live with it... in a sense that you go with the flow.|

Don't try to plan ahead too much, you never know your future, instead - better treasure what you have at the moment - your love ones, family & friends, your career & most importantly your life.

If you could read this blog, that means you are a fortunate one already, as you live in a civilized, modern country which has internet connection. Compared to those people who live the third world, we are born to be lucky. Ironically speaking, we still not yet found our happiness, not yet realized we are fortunate enough to be here.

Too much human desires - even you found your right job, right boyfriend, have a happy family, live in a decent house, you can never be satisfied. You always ask for more - that's the nature of human being.

Maslow's theory explains everything. According to wiki, Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow (1943) - stated that people are motivated to achieve certain needs and that some needs take precedence over others. Our most basic need is for physical survival, and this will be the first thing that motivates our behaviour. Once that level is fulfilled the next level up is what motivates us, and so on.

Humans wants are always unlimited. However, we should be cherish of what we have at the moment. Treasure your love ones, treasure your dream, treasure your life.

Live with life, go with the flow. Live in the present - not future.
Live your dream, even your daydream :)

What does a festival mean?

Valentines, Christmas all these festivals are just festivals itself. Sometimes I feel like these are just gimmick for business growth, is a kind of consumerism which fades the truth value of festival in celebrating it with your loves one.

Frankly speaking, why do people need to buy a gift for someone to prove that they love each other or to celebrate the joy?

If not, does it mean that I dun like you or I'm not enjoying the happiness?

It's so weird, nowadays people always consume something to show their value, show off their social status - which is insignificant. If your social esteem is built on a brand name product, what's your true value to yourself? Why do you need to prove your value by consumption?

After all, these products are getting depreciated, might turn up in landfills which pollute the world. The human desire are unlimited but our natural resources are limited indeed.

Shall we RETHINK of buying every product and the sustainability of it?

I wish our life is like facebook

Facebook is like a must these days, you write what you wanna be.... you share the happiness, someone will show it off, so many things you could explore with facebook.

You read news, check your friends' updates.... and how much is it like your real life?

Is it just your dream life?

That's nothing wrong if it's like your dream only if you could strike a balance.

All you want, all you live your life is how you dream it to be.

Enjoy & have fun with social media! Connecting with people, communication is awesome. Especially when you grow up, your social circle is getting smaller. With these social tools, you could build up your network though, with your dream life

Unless you use facebook as a tool to hoover your ex-boyfriend/ girlfriend, that's a different story. I recommend stop it cos it's useless :)

Where's your soul?

Time files, you grow up... getting mature & older.... you work, relax, meet someone, what's next?

Where's your soul afterall?

Are you doing what's true to you?

If not, better step back & think what's true to your life - family, friends, love... If you can't find any of these, you better think about your second life :)

Live your life, make it happen!

Love should be in your life. You should dream in your soul.

 

Tomorrow is knocking

Tomorrow is a revolution of yourself...

The search of dream takes effort, reflection and resolve. Are you ready to work hard for a future that doesn’t yet exist?

Doer who wants to find faster & better ways to solve complex problems only. Creator who chooses curiosity over complacency every time. Play safe or step forward? Who do you want yourself to be?

Let's step up to make tomorrow a better place. Better for everyone, everywhere.

What lengthens lives?

A good design should defy language and geographical barriers, connect us across the globe as one human race.

Let's get into the new world!

All you dream is love

Life's realistic, without your dream, life's too boring though... However, while you are chasing your dream, there're always lots of obstacles ahead. How will you go through them? 

If there's a deviation in your dream, is it still your dream?

You may twist your dream a bit, the point is how much you twist it. 

If that twist is a compromise, it's no longer your dream.

No dream, no life. It's my say since I was a kid. Time files, I wonder how much dream I have pursued - got the design awards that I long for, in pursuit of the career as a design professional ... That's it? There must be something I missed out.

Now it's time to make it happen. 

Step forward, never look back, the best is yet to come.

P.S. My inspiration comes from below display @ harbourcity

 

Life's like gambling

I'm the fool who dreams about life.

Life should be full of new experiences & personal growth.

Life's like gambling, either you all in & take risks, you may lose but gain new experience with pain OR you've settled into a stable groove in your current position for a while now without much room for skill expansion.

Don't hold onto the past, life goes on... Love is always about the future.

How can you champion revolutionary goals if you are such a traditionalist?

Life's like a pipe dream, it's conflict, it's compromise, something exciting if you bear risk.

Will you let go of yourself once & jump out of your comfort zone? Even though you may need to pay a high price? Do you still dare to take risks & challenge yourself?

He's just not that into you

He's just not that into you... what you should be clear about men or love is that, there's no such thing called eternal love.

Love can be an instant feeling. It comes & goes. What we need to do is to take it easy.

If you love a bird, set it free, if it flies back, it's yours.

Love makes you fool, always don't try to push it too hard. If the result is not something you expect, do NOT be frustrated and start questioning yourself - Have I did something wrong? Or will it work better in this way?

Sometimes woman are always way too sensitive & think too much.

That's my goal to improve myself this year.
