A broken heart

A heart that is broken will never be put back together again perfectly...
Just like a vase, when you broke it, you might try to put them back together again but no matter how hard you try, you would never get it back to the perfect, original shape. Someone told me '...but you can make the broken vase something else that is equally pretty'. True...but it will be something different with different meaning unto it.
The same thing with a relationship where a heart has been broken. You can't make it perfect anymore even if you try to put the heart back together. If you want to make it something different, then it will not be your relationship anymore right? What do you think?=p

What you know vs Who you know

I just remember that yesterday when I went for the interview practice, someone mentioned that it seems like nowadays 'who you know' is more important than 'what you know'. Is that right? I questioned myself about this question. How much do we have to know to make us survive in this cruel world? In this highly competitive world, sometimes it seems that it is important to have some connections. Even though I myself believe that everything depends on you, somehow having good connections with the right people will also help making your way smoother. Still you have to know what you are doing in order to persuade your networkers that you are worth their time and investment. So 'what you know' and 'who you know' are equally important. Remember that you live in a world where people are connected to each other in one way or the other. Having good connections and relationships with others will certainly help you in the present or future.

Forgiving

Lately, I have seen and taught how important forgiveness is. As humans, we will not be perfect. We will somehow make mistakes, either big or small, but to love someone is to be able to forgive that person's mistakes and give him/her a chance to improve, to amend that mistakes. The most important thing is to truly forgiving, not just saying ' oh yeah I will give you a chance' but inside your heart you will still remember it and use it in the future to blame him/her back for the mistakes. It is not easy. And the question is have I been able to do so? To forgive someone without remembering it back when one made mistakes again? It is something that I have to ask myself and reflect on the question....

Interview

I had interview practice today and I didn't prepare much for it. However, from there I got some feedbacks and I would like to list a few so that I can reflect back on it and probably it will be useful for those reading my blog too. Here we go:
1. Well presented-- time for dressing up guys....Take out ur best clothes, put a bit of make up ( to make it pretty, even though you are probably pretty enough=P)
2. Confidence-- necessary even though you are nervous, don't lose it
3. Good eye contact-- they get your point more when you make eye contact i believe
4. Speak clearly with loud or hearable voice and put a bit of tone-- don't make them work harder by trying to get what you said
5. Use natural gesture-- this helps to make your point
6. DON'T SPEAK TOO LONG OR OFF THE TRACK OF THE QUESTION-- make sure you answer the question instead of keep repeating it. Just make a point and move on ( I did really bad for this point)
7...... there are some more but I will add some more later..
Time for STUDY:P

Face it

Today is not going really well. Even though I did things that I love so much, i.e. dancing and playing piano, I am still feeling a bit down now. There is something going on my mind, something that I cannot get it out of my heart for a long time. Probably it is time for me to see things clearly and not lying to myself anymore. Sometimes truth is not nice, even hurtful, but it will become worse when you just leave it there and not face it. Be brave to face it, that is what I need to tell myself now. You will probably miss something, or lose something right now, but if you don't face it then you will never solve the problem and you will never feel happier....

Reflection

I went to talk to someone today and reflected back on what I have done so far. Amazingly I found out that I have been achieving so much but yet I am still unsatisfied. But after talking to her, I realized that I am so far from where I was before. Really far. Even I am proud of myself for being able to do so much.

From this, I think sometimes it is necessary for someone to reflect back what one has achieved or how far one has been going. It will certainly give you the energy to keep going further. Life has never been easy but take as much as you can, but still remember to appreciate what you have been achieving and know that whatever happens has its own purpose to make you grow.
