It's been awhile

It's been awhile...


But kindness and good deeds carry on.

Hi readers!
yes I haven't posted for almost a month now and I'm really sorry about that. At first, I considered finding another admin to write posts for me but then wouldn't this blog become just like other commercial blogs out there? But we'll see how it goes yeah! haha always have the best in mind for everyone.

Anyways, to the main post:

We have all entered the second half of the year and for most people this will be a really taxing time. For IB students in year 5, there are already important deadlines to meet. For students preparing for their final year examinations, it seems that the world is coming to an end. (especially those taking like their last exam of their schooling life) youth athletes in Asia there's the AYG. Employees out there have to improve profits from the first half of the year...basically STRESS for almost everyone.

While I was typing one of my soon-to-be-due essays a while ago, I stared out of the window (no not one of those inspirational moments, it was a rather dull action actually). As I stared out of the window trying to figure out where my fingers were supposed to move on my computer keyboard, a thought came to mind. "How much have I learnt from the first half of the year?"

Obviously I wasted the next 15 minutes recollecting the different events that have happened so far this year. For me, it has been a productive year so far. No big regrets. But how about everyone else? Have you stopped to think about how you're going to improve for the rest of this year?

Waiting for a new year to make a new resolution is too long. All you need is a new day. If that's too short then a new week. All you need is a Monday. No more "Monday blues", Monday will now be "New Monday". You are going to be fresh, New Monday, new you. Start working on how you're going to make yourself a better person. Find an aspect of your life that troubles you and work on it. Work to be the best at it. There's no such thing as too late to try.

I have a neighbour in the next block whom I visited yesterday. He's probably nearly 60 years old. He told me he started learning how to play the guitar and the keyboard around 5 years ago. He started learning something new when he was in his 50s. For most of my readers, I believe you haven't reached that age yet. We still have a long way to go. So why not? Try improving something this week. You never know, you may become great at it.
