Long time, no posts!
Currently having a hard time with revision, exams, and tensions and depressions at home. Well, till date,I had only one paper, for the Marketing Fundamentals module. The paper was manageable, but as usual, “faute de temps, on n’a pu termine le papier!” Anyways, the results will prove everything.
How about the following two papers: Organisational Behaviour and Programming Methodology? I believe OB paper would be ok, but I’m unable to guess questions to come just like i guessed rightly for Marketing Fundamentals. As for programming, the fear is still here and I feel that I need some more time to prepare myself fully, sniff sniff. Let’s see what I’ll be able to do in this rather short lapse of time!
But the big problem is that I do not feel like studying at times, that’s too when I am at home. For sure, I guess I lack self-discipline. I was reading a book lately Robin Sharma and he says “The golden thread of a highly successful and meaningful life is self-discipline.” I believe discipline will allow me to do all those things I know in my heart I should do but never feel like doing. Without self-discipline I will not be able to set clear goals, manage my time effectively, treat people well, persist through the tough times, care for my health or think positively. Robin Sharma calls “the habit of self-discipline ‘Tough Love’ because getting tough with yourself is actually a very loving gesture.” But how to practice this tough love?
Some people say that by being stricter with onself, one will begin to live life more deliberately, on one’s own terms rather than simply reacting to life the way a leaf floating in a stream drifts according to the flow of the current on a particular day.
But I believe in what a famous writer concluded “Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the right thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it not.”
This week, we had three birthday girls, and given that we all busy revising and preparing for the exams, we planned a little birthday lunch at Pizza Hut for the three birthday girls and also a small birthday cake from La Friandise. We had a really wonderful time there and enjoyed a lot. How I wish everyday would be like this! Anyways, three birthday girls, wish you happy birthday again!
Well, what else?
I have been staying at home for almost one whole week, except for the days I had exams and ACCA courses. I have realised how alarming the situation at my home is, and I guess that it’s really high time that my brother and I take control of everything. But provided my brother gives importance to this. I’ll tackle these after my exams, two weeks more to go.
Yesterday, my little niece “garson rater” came to spend one whole afternoon at my place. She bahaved funnily at times, wow, and we were both playing together with the baby dolls and kitchen sets. Shreya would ask me to feed the baby doll with soup, lol. She even asked my brother to bath the baby doll, change it’s nappies, and put doll to sleep. And guess what, those baby dolls and kitchen sets were not hers, they were in fact mine, with which I used to play when I was small. This made me remember how me and my little cousine used to fight and then patch up while playing. She even played with my brother’s lorries and cars which he got when he was 2yrs and 3yrs old. I wonder, had we both not kept our little stuffs, how would she have spent her time here. My saturday ended baby-sitting my niece and playing with her.
That’s all for today!
