I believe the correct perscription is a capsule of low-temperature permeance, otherwise known as a chill pill

It is insane how many people have jumped to their conclusions so quickly. Please, people, read; do your homework. Make sure you have the facts before taking action in something you might very well regret years from now. Why can't people be kind to one another AND follow the rules? Seriously! Study instead of copy, discuss instead of cuss, and just go all Jacob 6:12 in this piece.

Sleeping With The Sun

This week has been exhausting thus far. I've already lost count of the days when I went to bed with the sun already high up in the sky.

I have been trying to finish school-related work. And, so far, I am not succeeding.

During the hours after I wake up, which is usually in the middle of the afternoon, all I do is go online and scour articles unrelated to whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing. Or think about life and all the unnecessary activities I have to be a part of because I'm alive. It doesn't help that it's always so gloomy lately, thanks to two storms that will hit, or is currently hitting, the country.

In the end, I get to work (do actual work) in the wee hours of the morning. I keep swearing to myself that I'd finish by 5am, or at least just before I notice that it's bright outside.

Nope.

I'm just so tired. And there's a lot that needs to be done. Might as well just suck it up. Whining won't do a thing.

On The Way With Analogs #011

hello all !

today I share one beautiful short story...so here it goes !

Response Vs Reaction  At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.  She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.  Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group.  Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.  The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.  The waiter stood firm, composed himself. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.   why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.  It is not the cockroach, but the inability of the ladies to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed the ladies.  We have to realize that it is not the shouting of your father or your boss or your wife that disturbs you, but it’s your inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs you.  It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs you, but your inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs you.  More than the problem, it’s your reaction to the problem that creates chaos in your life.  moral :- To understand and accept the situation and try not to react. I should always respond.  The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.  Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of, just and right to save a situation from going out of hand, to avoid cracks in relationship, to avoid taking decisions in anger, anxiety, stress or hurry.  Let's RESPOND, NOT REACT !!!" 

Rise and shine !!!

Angry pseudo self-help tip of the day

Look for that goddamned answer, even if you have no idea where to find it. Even if you know you won’t find it. After all, the point is not the answer itself, but to answer. To respond more than just react.
