102 + 100 = 202('09!)

MYE post mortem! / Saturday, May 23, 2009

Heys all!
   So, results are disappointing (mostly), and the feeling of crying or giving up is just there right in your mind, or appearing once in a while, flashing once every time expectations are not met.

   Which brings me to say a few words to the class. to bring about the 202 spirit!

   Happiness - A very big word
   Why are we not happy when we get back our results? Why must we be affected by the b3, b4 or c5 or c6 or even f9 which we get? Huh? Why? Cos we will get scoldings? But you are yourself, and if anybody wants to scold you, you can do two stuffs:
1. tell the person you are gonna work harder and ask him/ her to finish the scolding asap ('cos the person in fact doesn't have the right to scold!) or
2. nod your head to whatever is being scolded and take everything the person scolds as stupid stuffs. 'cos you are too smart to listen to those stupid stuffs being scolded, don't listen!

(Don't be rude in the process , though! )

You are 100% yourself. Don't care about what other people say of you.

And if you want to be happy, let me give you an equation.

H=R/E [H equals R over E]

- Happiness equals Reality over Expectations
So to be happy, you need to lower your expectations, or hope that the reality will be greater.

And if your expectations are too high, and the reality won't match your expectations, your happiness will get less. (Yes, it is true)

So, how can we be happy? Lower your expectations, and work hard so the reality will turn out well. Even if the reality doesn't turn our well, you will still be happy, 'cos you expectations are low.

On the other side, if your expectations are high & the reality turns out great too, you won't be happy. Contrarily, this scenario might even hurt your happiness, if you expect too much from yourself but the reality doesn't turn out good.

So, remember, set appropriate expectations, one step at a time, but work hard, to increase your happiness!

So this is the importance of setting SMART goals (expectations!)

Enough of happiness part of the post, i have three quotes to share with all of you!

"Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.” – Marilyn vos Savant

You know, so what if you fail!? Everybody fails before. Even in "the most victorious lives ever, people suffer failures, but remember, they are only temporary. okay?
You will still live on, for the challenges ahead..

"Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. Courage is what counts."   - Sir Winston Churchill

Again, so what if you fail, lah? Even if you are successful, you will still fall some day, cos if you don't fall, then how can you be successful? o.o It is the courage to go on, the courage to get up, that counts.

"We fall to get up." - Batman Begins
