A Wheel In My Head Is a-Turning
Once I start thinking about a possible business idea it’s hard to stay calm and focused, other than thinking about that particular idea.
I’ve been stuck in a rut thinking how I’m soon going to hit the big TWO-ZERO. In a matter of days I’ll be two decades old. It is a depressing thought. Especially since today I cancelled my plan to go to the library due to sleeping too late to wake up early enough to study efficiently. But I still studied anyway. Now I have one more chapter to go through. By next week I shall be divulging deep into the subject. Right now I’m just scratching the surface.
Anyway, after reading about one and a half chapter or so, I stopped. Then I took a moment to think if I had had any significant achievement in my soon-to-be two decades of life and I realized…there was none.
And got depressed.
Before I entered university, one of my goals was to graduate with a steady stream of self-made steady income at the side. (Notice that the previous sentence has a lot of words starting with ’s’? :D) I already finished Foundation, and still, nothing substantial happened. Now I’m already at the second semester of my first year of degree and still nothing significant! In fact, instead of moving forward, I feel as if I’m moving backwards in this place! And I’m going to turn two decades old in FOUR DAYS!!
Unwilling to give in to my depression, I finally whipped out the book How To Use The Internet To Earn A Massive, Passive, Income In Your Pajamas! by Sen Ze. This is Sen Ze’s second book. I mentioned his first book somewhere in my blog before. Anyway, I haven’t touched that book due to the lack of…well, I was just lazy to read. Wasn’t in a receptive frame of mind. I looked at the cover of the book and thought "Yeah? Well, impress me."
And impressed I was!
I read the first few chapters, combined with the knowledge imparted in his first book, I finally came up with a new business idea! At home I have this notebook where I write down all my ideas in as much detail as I can, but to accomodate myself here, I wrote it down in one of my many miscellanous notebook. I even contemplated writing it in the Death Note hehehe.
Then, as I expanded my idea, I grew restless. And not to mention hungry. Because then I hadn’t had dinner yet.
Right. So I expanded my idea and remembered that I have a book (new too) called IdeaSpotting! I unwrapped it (it was still shrink wrapped :D) and started reading that too. So tonight I read two new books at once. Which is a new feat to me. I didn’t finish them on the spot though, lest I’ll forgot what the message they want to convey.
After I read the two books I realized how far I’ve strayed from my original goal in life, one that I know will shape my destiny. And I know I’m destined for greatness (note the pride?). Even if people want to say otherwise, who’s to say I will or will not achieve greatness eh? Neither had happened yet.
I even went back to my new year’s resolution and thought how lame and thoughtless they were. So I added a couple more to them:
1. I will Get A LIFE,
2. I will end the year a Significantly Better Person.
‘Significant’ has yet to be defined, but so are ‘anime’ and ‘manga’. Therefore, as long as it is significant, it is significant and I will know.
IdeaSpotting has a lot of great quotes. And I like quotes. I prefer them over poems that merely describes a serene environment at some foreign lakeside. My sis said it’s because I’m rather stoic and has no love for the ’soft’ abstract arts of poems and whatnot. I feel quite differently. I like poems, so long as they left me feeling inspired. But poems tend to be too long and winded that they detracted from their original meaning. Therefore quartets are good :D.
One of my favorite quotes from IdeaSpotting is from Dr. Seuss:
"You have brains in your head,
you have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose…
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you"
-Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You’ll Go.
*dreamy sighs* Yep, things will happen to people as brainy and footsy as me :D.
When I told Gary about about not having any significant achievements, you know what he said? He said I have fiber optics and can watch lots of animes. IS THAT AN ACHIEVEMENT??!
Well, at least I can rest assured knowing that no matter how old I become, you, Gary, will always be older than me. Even if by a mere one day.
I have one more chapter of Comp Law to go through before I’m done for the night. Then I can divulge about my future more. Hehehe.
Ta’ra!

you mean it’s difficult to find halal Chinese food.
If you eat something that’s already basi then you definitely eat EVERYTHING. But I recently ate something that’s already basi too hahaha. I thought it was normal for it to smell funny so I tolerated it for a bit, then after a while I just put it aside and ate the rest that I think are not basi. Although some of the gravy are still on the stuff I ate xD.
Good to know I’m not the only glutton.

You have steel stomach. I applaud you.
After eating bad food for a while I have more or less developed steel stomach too.
We’re mutants.
