Concluding 2012??

For the past 2 years, I had much thoughts going on at the end of the year but this time round I am rather cool. xD (2010, 2011)

The biggest thing to me this 2012 is perhaps "The Secret." It is based on the  "Law of Attraction" and said to be what governs the UNIVERSE!!! As much as there are no solid backings to this saying, the idea of it is almost entirely hard to believe.

But like I mentioned, I was really desperate and awfully tired of reoccurring bad situations in life, so any chance, any chance at all I am buying it.

While there are tons of magical testimonials from people, I don't have anything exactly miraculous. But one thing gotta be I gotten much happier. I credit this to the positive thinking and feelings of gratitude. Perhaps this also has to do with that I am someone inherently very negative so thinking positively and giving thanks in the darkest situations uplifted me. And also I have to agree that sometimes when you think GOOD, it is likely that the situation turns for the good.

This is like the Theory X and Y in business.

If you had in mind that your employers are inherently lazy, likely that you wouldn't have bigger plans and thus will achieve less. But compared to the Theory Y managers, his bigger plans are likely to pull through. But then these are just a super broad saying, one may further propose that the Theory X is likely to be the better surviving one due to its conservativeness and it will be the Theory Y that gonna go burst.

Well, perhaps my own experiences. ^^ Thursdays'12.

Due to some arrangements, I wasn't in the same group as the rest of my cliques and we has this mad Russian woman with us. Well, she isn't exactly Russian but everyone, even herself calls herself a Russian. It was coz she was from the ex-Soviet Union and perhaps for convenient sake, she referred herself as a Russian.

Russian lady was pretty nice but she has some little quirkiness. For once, she never attended any meetings but set out that she would do the editing and presentation. And eventually, when people don't talk, and a project gets built up here and there, not everyone can agree on the final work.

Every week I gotta deal with her occasional rudeness; once she marched in late for class and tapped on our tables to show her how the report had go. We were the first row of students in class.

I must be feeling really forgiving and whatnot, coz everyone around got utterly angry at her but I always managed to calm her down and set things straight. Not to mention, I was doing 80% of the written work. ^^

Perhaps my old friends would guess that I would have exploded at Russian lady and gone terribly mad but somehow, at the end of it, I happily declared that "Obstacles are to be overcome," on FB as I munch on my Subway sandwich.

We got 90% for presentation, 70% for written work and my final result was a distinction. And if you had been following my blog, I had this becoming Habu thing and I did very well for class room participation too, also 90%. ^^

But I don't think I had read The Secret at the beginning of Thursdays'12 though.

I was so enthusiastically keen in keeping Thursdays fantastic because I had Japanese Lessons after my 3-6pm class at 8pm. Not only will I be tired by then, I have to keep myself in good mood so I can get the best out of class and not brood over negative things. I have to make sure things in school goes well and monitor my own mood.

So in a way, I had a goal to keep things good and turned out, things was good. =D

I also learned from this that sometimes you really can't control your surroundings, such as meeting Russian Lady, but there are more practical ways to solve things. (NOTE: SOLVE!) Like working closer with my remaining mates and not get into fights with those throwing tantrum.

Have the best 2013 folks!!! I really look forward to 2013 which is gonna happen in 6 hours in my time zone.  And thank you, thank you, thank you for all the love and friendship!!~~ <3
