1. Focusing On Things Outside of Your Control It’s one week until you’re final exam or test, you haven’t even looked at the material that’s covered yet.  Oh god, stress overload.   Why oh why didn’t I start studying earlier, damn those Netflix marathons! That’s exactly what you DON’T want to do. Instead you need to FOCUS on what you CAN DO and take back responsibility and control over the situation. You still got a week left to work with - use that week as best you can to study and stop freaking out over things that are in the past because it doesn’t help you! 2. Approaching Study as a Chore There’s a BIG difference between HAVING or WANTING to do something. Do you  have  to study? The truth of the matter is, no, you don’t  have  to do shit. You WANT to study. No one is forcing you to study and even if they try, you ultimately have the choice as to whether you will study or not. When you approach studying as something you WANT to do it’s a ver...

Live in day-tight compartment What do we mean by day tight compartment? It is the process by which we tunnel our energy and strength into today’s happening and not what has happened in the past or what is going to happen in the future. Sir William Osler, the organizer of the world renowned Johns Hopkins hospitals, said  “Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand” are the words of Thomas Carlyle that helped live a life free from worry. Every individual should learn that the best way to create the future is to concentrate on today’s work with all our intelligence, enthusiasm and strength. Most of us have our lives an entangled in what will happen in the future; marriage, career, retirement and old age and the past; break-ups, betrayals, death of loved ones to such an extent that we forget to live the light of the day. Even Jesus said “Take no thought for the morrow”. The word ‘thought’ is now translated by modern ...

He was reading a book called  The Long Ships,  by Frans G. Bengtsson, which is a historical fiction about the Vikings and King Harald Bluetooth, and got the idea that Bluetooth technology does just what the king did, unite the communication protocols into one universal standard.

v   Neymar vs Bale could’ve been the greatest football rivalry : Gareth Bale could’ve been the biggest player at Real Madrid and Neymar at Barca. The duo was tipped to become the next face of football rivalry after they joined the Spanish Giants in the summer off 2013. But due to the presence of Ronaldo and Messi, their rivalry has been rendered insignificant. Rooney could’ve been more famous at Manchester United :  During the days of Cristiano Ronaldo at Man Utd, Rooney was just a normal regular player providing assists and doing normal stuffs.
