  • a humility strategy without feeling too humble

    so sometimes i catch myself being arrogant about some success or another.
    and, i realized that it sucks to be that way because not only does it make others feel bad..
    it stunts your growth.
    when you believe you are max'd out, your growth ends there.
    so, whenever i catch myself being arrogant, i set myself a bigger goal.
    i let my mind imagine and aim at something bigger, and it automatically triggers humility.
    i am once again smaller than something, which is the new goal.
    and i start a new journey to attain it.
    it is not a self-depreciating humility that puts yourself lower than others.
    it is a self-appreciating humility that thrusts you towards something bigger.

  • i just read that you shouldn't kill a fever because it kills viruses.

    then, made me think about global warming. maybe the earth is having a fever and a symptom of a healthy immune system.

    it's trying to get rid of what is fucking itself up.

  • so my second day of photo is finished. i basically can manage to finish a shift without much concern. it was easier than i thought. it's always the beginning that is daunting but once you get a better idea, it is much easier. it must be like this for many things in my life that are on pause. i'm afraid to move forward but maybe just maybe it's like cashiering and photo. it seems impossible at first, but actually doable, and even exceed expectations in the end. the photo position is so chill and there's very little work, so they have to find extra work for me to do in the meantime. today, i became the operator of the store for 1 hour. basically answer calls and route them to the correct department. all these new things are coming at me all at once. but so far i'm able to handle it ok. i realized today that you can basically lie about many things if you have good intentions, it smooths out many things. maybe that's how people joke around. it's lying but for a good cause, to make people laugh. maybe i was too stuck on being real and honest. if you take honesty and real too far, it becomes rigid and boring. i can use lies to lube this situation up a little.

  • giftcards are easy, quick and useful but the end-receiver usually does not remember what they bought exactly with that giftcard. it's just money. but when you buy something that a person really needs and uses, they will remember you every time they see it. so, the best gifts are items people use, that they will keep using for decades. food, once eaten is gone from memory too.

  • my financial budget system is actually opening up a new world to me. i can spend without guilt. giving me an opportunity to experience and enjoy all that was blocked off from myself because of unreasonable money saving habits.

  • woa, i'm really a photo dude now. it's less physical exertion with a small raise. it's the correct step up. i think i proved myself as a regular cashier. now, i have to do well at this new job. i got a $15 gift card for being the best cashier of the month. :) my work life is on a steady up direction.

    i've been studying stocks again. i think my knowledge is 110% better than when i used to trade. i haven't given up on that stream of income. when my cash is ready, i will be successful at it.

    i am waiting on a refund from my church for a decent amount. it will wipe out my credit card debt and pay off my friends, early next year.

    after that, i will only owe my family.

    much less stress in 2010.

    merry xmas!

  • woa, i just realized something pretty hardcore. i actually enjoy working around people. today, the highest manager asked me to go sort out strays. i realized that i hated it. i tried to understand why i hated it so much and realized that it was because i wasn't interacting with customers while doing it. this is huge because i started this job hating social interaction. now, i love it. anyone who has trouble with people should just become a cashier for 2 years. it will be healed. lol

  • i dislike this commercial line.... "in a world that doesn't, droid does." wtf are u talking about. you're talking to A WORLD THAT DOES. you can try belittling some other group of people for the sake of increased profits.
