Focus and Finish

If you think it is best, do it. 

Just have a good reason and know your intention.

Justify only when asked, not as your default people-pleasing mechanism.

You know best. Be confident. 

Trust yourself.

Focus and Finish.

Explore

The word for 2014 was to explore.

Exploring can be experiencing new things, meeting new people, and reading new books. The new input will shape you and give you a chance to grow.

You can also explore within. Possibly get in touch with your soul. Your Raison d'etre. Your search of God.

Key is to never stop exploring.

Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.

When making a decision, we need to be clear that decisions may not determine the outcome.

You may make a good decision, but still the outcome is bad.

You may make a bad decision, but the outcome may be good.

Of course, there would also be probability of good decision-good outcome; bad decision-bad outcome.

But the key is to be present. To make a decision with the best information that you have at the given point of time. The key is to make sure you get the most information basis to be able to weigh and make the best decision given the timeline.

Timeline is also key. If not, you would be stuck in a limbo where you can just choose to sit on it. Timeline can come from an external source (i.e.: Boss assignment deadline) or internal (i.e.: self assigned deadline)

Thing is, it is such a liberating concept, where you focus on what you can control, which is your actions, and not be paralysed with thinking about the results. You can make the best decision; example, taking a cab when you are drunk, which is the most responsible and good decision to make. But what if you get robbed on the way? 

Point is, there may always be external factors that you can't control. Like how your actions affect other people. Like how people would react to your choice. Like whether if people would judge you. Like if the result would be the same with what your goal was.

So be present.

Lesson from Scrubs.

Reminder to self.

Nothing worth having comes easy.

Blast from the Past

Because sometimes you need to look for clues in the past for you to move forward into the future.

Screenwriting : Specificity

Dustin Lance Black. He wrote the screenplay for the award winning Milk. He talks about the importance of process and being specific and how being specific can only come from tonnes of research, which may end up not being used. 

I like this quote : "We make progress by telling our personal stories" - Dustin Lance Black

Nike Freestyle Basketball Stickman

Used to play this video everytime before turun basketball. Zaman And1 and freestyle was happening.

Now, back to basics Spurs style.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

11 pm

Watched the movie and it was awesome! loved how the plot developed and how i was brought to questioning whether to root for the apes, or for humans.

Truth be told, i think humans were secondary in the plot. The whole story is the power struggle within the apes. 

Not much of a critic, so here goes. Effective scoring, good cinematogtaphy, good acting, VFX all in a good package. No real plothole that i can see, and all character motives were well justified. Definitely has a balance between substance and form. 

(unlike some other movie *ehem*Transformers4*ehem* that focused more on the form)

Can't wait for the next one to see how they develop the plot further.

Go watch!!!
