Okay! Focus.
There are only 2 months left for 2021.
And all I need to finish is:
-Agile Samurai Book
-Work Rules! Laszlo Bock’s Book on Google
... and that’s... IT!
So it’s DOABLE yeah. Super doable.
Okay.
I can do it, while doing my job (which I was supposed to do right now, but failed and went blogging here instead lol) Anne-Wil and I recently talked about patience and perseverance and I mentioned the marshmallow experiment to her to prove my point about how I must have failed such experiment as a kid, which in turn led to my growing up being NOT perseverant in anything I touch and do.
So when I was in high schools, I draw manga stuffs and joined this manga club, I think I was good at drawing.
Then I got hooked into handcrafting stuffs, interior decorating, then fashion, and when I was in America for the cultural exchange year then took SAT and TOEFL IBT then applied for uni/colleges, I got an offer from IADT (International Academy of Design and Technology) in Florida for Fashion major.
But yeah I left for England, when I took 2-year A-level first and what did I study? Maths, Arts, Law, Accounting. All over the place. Then I got an offer from Central Saints Martin for Foundation Course in Art.
But yeah I chose Goldsmiths, and what did I study? Illustration, Web Designer, Script & Prose Writing, Film Production, then I majored in Animation for my third year.
Also I learnt piano since I can’t remember, I also wrote some stories and even sent them for competitions. I learnt guitar back when I was in Goldsmiths also. Oh and of course blogging and starting this blog lol
But yeah I went for Japan afterwards and what was I interested in? English, hiking, learning Japanese, traveling, mountain-climbing, skiing, soba-making, pottery-making, singing/karaoke, painting.
Hmm what am I still consistent with up to this very day?
-Well piano, I can still play (I think lol)
-I passed JLPT exam and got N2 certificate for Japanese proficiency last January.
-I work in an English-speaking company and my line manager is a French/Cambodian guy so I basically only use English with him. So I am still consistent with... English? =..=
And that’s pretty much all... Oh I’m not using Japanese much as I’m no longer in Japan so maybe I’m not entirely consistent with it.
And I also don’t play piano these days due to lockdowns..., which means it’s pretty much left with nothing consistent =..=
Anne-Wil got it even crazier lol she did street dance, piano, ballet, singing, guitar, gymnastic and so on, all were within a year or less. Then she studied Japanese, then she’s back and forth between Japan and Netherlands, then she changed jobs, switch jobs, was in Tokyo, then Nagoya, now in Nagoya. Then she even got to work on some sort of business certificates, but then she quit and went for counseling training instead, then she got the counseling certificate, but then I haven’t heard her talking about this passion anymore since she’s got her first baby.
Now she’s consistent with Japanese (as she’s living in Japan and her husband is Japanese) and dedicated to teach her baby to be mindful of picking up things and sticking to them till the very end, just like the Japanese and their 頑張る culture.
At least she has her baby boy and a family to be consistent with now :”)
Meanwhile, I have nothing =)))))))))))))))
So yeah, all I need to do now is to just finish those two books and keep the job.
