No "Format" Button on Our Brain

I just recall one article which I read on magazine. It is an interview with a successful fashion designer.

What inspired me greatly is
what he said on that interview, he described that "to be success you should make a good habit, and never learn bad habit".

I couldn't be more agree to that argument.

Good Habit make Good Character
Excellent Character build an Excellent Job / Product
Awesome Product lead to Success

But how can we "Unlearn" bad habit from ourselves?

Bad news is we have no FORMAT button on our brain. We can't just refresh it to new fresh start with our mind, CLICK like that.

Fortunately, Good news is our brain has capability to adapt and develop its current condition through a process called "NEUROPLASTICITY". From recent research, scientists find out that our brain can produces new neural cells and new neural pathways.

Of course this is not easy, in order to change bad habit, we need a lot of extra work and FOCUS on aspects we want to change. Need to struggle and push self on that aspect everyday.

One more thing, in the process to change self you need one more thing. Have SELF COMPASSION. You will do your bad habit one or another time (even when you resist it), but don't beat yourself because of that. I don't think it is healthy for you.

More you beat yourself
More you hate yourself
More negative thoughts inside yourself
More bad habits you develop within yourself

Try your best, change gradually. And LOVE yourself.

When "Doing Nothing" Actually Give You More

Doing nothing but give you more? Isn't it counter productive? Yes, if you completely do nothing in your life, but that is not what I want to write on blog post here. It is more to do with doing nothing for your healthy inner self. Photo Credit:  After 10km trail, a rest.  via  photopin   (license) We, human beings, aren't robots. Even machines need their own off times. That's the idea. You need it. It is not only normal rest, I know people's definition of rest on these days are watching tv, playing games, surfing internet, and anything that have correlation with technologies. I tried it myself recently, I turned off my handphone, I backed off from my computer, and I didn't watch tv. What did I do then? I did nothing. Breathed. Watched the best movie on the world (real life) outside of window. It is best if you can go to park and enjoy the world. Forget about your jobs, forget your to do list for a bit, do nothing. When you do it, feel your body rela...

Improving on "Messed Up"

Have you been messed up on life? Our life upside down? Nothing is working? Feel so  desperate but no good result at all. Well, you're not the only one. 10 years ago, I messed up my life. After graduate from high school, I didn't know what I want to do nor what I like. I was an Introvert type guy, I had only few friends and also almost every day played games without social activities. Even worst, I didn't go out at all, except going school of course where it's just a few metres from my home. My fault indeed. As a result, I was so ignorant. Know nothing. My biggest mistake was choosing "wrong"  university and  "inappropriate for me" major. I gotten myself to Informatics Degree which I "dislike" it now (maybe traumatized). Why? Well, just say that I am not "coding" person, I cannot see a lot of "text / code" at once to browse bug and debug it???? It's just not so me. Also I dislike how we students lifesty...

Do Children Tend To Do Same Career As Their Parents?

Recently, I got a question pop up to my head whether we as children will eventually do same career as our father's / mother's. So, I googled it and found out that facebook researchers did some analysis from their huge members' data (you can read their article and data here : https://research.facebook.com/blog/do-jobs-run-in-families-/ ). From their research, they found out that people more likely to choose same as their parents' occupation compare to others whom their parents aren't do that occupation. Confused?? It means that if your parents are doctors, you more likely would be a doctor compare to your friend whom parents are lawyer. Why? Because we, humans, are "built" by world around us. When we were kids, our minds were like a blank page, and as we grow we learn new things. Where did we learn it from? You know the answer, yes, it was from our parents (including our kindergarden and school teachers, but their influence will be very small) and...
