life goals

-

what comes into your mind when talking about 'life goals'? 

some might say, 'to graduate with a first class degree at the age of 23', 'to be able to own a car within the first year of having a job', 'to own a house and get married at the age of 25' yada-yada the list goes on. 

from the life goals stated above, can you recognize the problems are? 

age.

yeah of course, there's nothing wrong to set a goal in order to achieve certain things in your life, before you're reaching that certain age. but i think what's wrong is - the desperation that comes along with the aim. 

something happened during your study, which caused you to not being able to graduate on time - you get disappointed with your own expectations, and you decided to just give up. when in fact, more failures teach you a lot more to improve and to be better in the future.

you get a decent job, but covid happens, and you get fired because the company need to cut off the budget. you have no income, and you feel you're just a total failure. when in fact, things happened out of everyone's control. and there's nothing wrong in that. it does not reduce any of your worth. 

you know someone for ages, and things happened unplanned, the relationship did not work out, and you decided to just stop knowing someone new, just because you believe it passed your target age and it will never work out in the future. when in fact, this particular thing too - is out of your control. 

of course - you could aim things. but please keep in mind that - things might happen the way you want it or the other way around. keep your expectations not way too high. be considerate so that you won't get disappointed too much that you destroy yourself in some sort of way. 

just - be considerate. be realistic. 

adios.

helo.  how's everyone doing now? great? cool cool. keep doing that, you look good.  this is just another post of 'hi-im-just-dropping-by'. to be honest, i don't really know what should i post here on blogspot. should i post something informative or just to keep it personal - as for my so-called online diary.  but here i am, just some random rants every now and then.  as for my life update, i'm currently still in my routine of boring-working-life. but to highlight some, i was with pusat pemberian vaksin (PPV) for 2 weeks in early august. not gonna lie, it was suuuuch an experience. i get to poke someone's shoulder.. with needles.. *insert smirk-creepy-smile* :P the work was fun, in a way. i don't know, though i am an introvert, i do enjoy meeting people at the facility. i enjoy seeing their excitedness and whatever reaction that they have towards getting vaccinated. elders.. youngsters.. all of them, with different kind of vibes each. this one incident at PPV...

hola. i just want to rant out about something..  about this.  a part of me - is against this statement.  the fact that when encountering a patient, doctor/s need to listen to their complaint, their history of complaint, past medical history, history of hospital admission, any drugs history, allergy history, family history and social history yadayada. then proceed to relevant investigations according to the complaint the patient presented with. and then only come out with diagnosis. usually they would pick up the most common first. by means, you wouldnt be suspecting rare diseases first. sooo from the list of possible diseases (differential diagnosis) you just pick the most common diseases that relevant to the signs and symptoms, and as suggested from the results of the investigations done. treat by the first choice first.  some would say, 'ni je buat?' because it seems to be very lack of effort, but yea. to avoid unnecessary waste of resources. annndd as in the case ...

being an introvert kind of person, i learnt a lot about life by observing others and it makes me think about the reason/s of a certain situations/behaviors.  seeing a person get mad so easily, i cant help it but to think - what makes him/her that way? what happened in the past that makes the person so vulnerable that they want to let out the rage to an innocent person? i mean, things could have been different if you just use a 'kinder' approach. you know, 8 billions people in this world faced things differently in a day, so doing a favor by treating everyone right, wont cost you any cents.  same thing goes to when reading someone's writings - fictional or not. i cant help, but to wonder - what did the writer faced in their life that makes them to come out with those words? how does it happened? i know, things would not just come easily without experience/s. even for fiction, something should had happen that leads their brain to think/create something out of it. all of those...
