Went reservists in the afternoon, it wasn't good news.
To my students, I may have to go Taiwan for training on the 17th September to 11th October, which is smack in the middle of N levels and O levels. Almost a month. I will try my best to be here, but I cannot say for sure, so my job is to train you guys before September, to get your A in accounts.
Freak bird shitted on my head when I was walking home. However, my reaction to that was very much a surprise to me even till now. I think I am finally doing what I always say.
Some of you who had good talks with me, might knew I always stress "Change what you can change, and don't let things that you cannot change affect you or your thinking and decisions"
In turn, what happen earlier was simple.
The freak bird shitted and it dropped on my head, smack on.
My first reaction.... "oh, bird shit"
Next reaction..........."get to the coffeeshop wash it away"
Third reaction..........."how come my reaction so calm"
Fourth reaction..........."i'm so gonna blog this"
To me, some people's reaction might turn out to be growing hysterical in the middle of the road, cursing and swearing and scolding all kinds of language bad words that you can find or know. However, doing all those only anger ourselves, and doesn't do anything productive and most certainly don't help the situation. What they should be focusing on, should be how to remedy the situation, and make the necessary changes fast enough.
My army's CO (Commanding Officer) said this today which I feel is very true.
In this world, you have to change faster then other people, or else you will be out of the race.
Which essentially means we need to constantly improve ourselves, staying stagnant is the most dangerous situation you can put yourself in, no matter how comfortable you may be with it.
I would advise all my friends and students, that changes comes from action and not talks. Knowledge without wisdom, is the same as plans without action. If you ever want to get something done, make plans and provisions. If you ever want to find the goal in your own life, make simple and achievable plans and provisions too. After all, talk is god damn cheap.

SPOD (Stupid People of the Day)
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in
toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this
woman called in very upset because she caught her little
daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the
ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring
her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down, and at
the end of the conversation happened to mention that she
gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill
the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter
in to the ER right away.

Seems that a year ago, some Boeing employees on the
field decided to steal a life raft from one of the
747s airplane. They were successful in getting it out of the
plant and home. When they took it for a float on the
Stilliguamish River, they were quite surprised by a coast
guard helicopter homing in on the emergency locator that
is activated when the raft is inflated. They are no longer
employed here.

The instructor was demonstrating the wonders of static
electricity to his class at MIT. While holding a plastic
rod in one hand and a wool cloth in the other, he told the
class, "You can see that I get a large charge from rubbing
my rod..." That was pretty much the end of learning for
that day.

I worked for a while at a Walmart store, selling
sporting goods. As an employee of Walmart you are
sometimes required to make storewide pages, e.g.,"I have
a customer in hardware who needs assistance at the paint
counter." One night a tentative female voice came over
the intercom system with the following message: "I have
a customer by the balls in toys who needs assistance."

A police officer had a perfect hiding place for watching
or speeders. But one day, everyone was under the speed
limit, the officer found the problem: a 10 year old boy
was standing on the side of the road with a huge hand
painted sign which said "RADAR TRAP AHEAD." A little
more investigative work led the officer to the boy's
accomplice, another boy about 100 yards beyond the radar
trap with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket at his feet, full of change.

A carpet layer had just finished installing carpet for
a lady. He stepped out for a smoke, only to realize he'd
lost his cigarettes. In the middle of the room, under
the carpet, was a bump. "No sense pulling up the entire
floor for one pack of smokes," he said to himself. He
proceeded to get out his hammer and flattened the hump. As
he was cleaning up, the lady came in. "Here," she said,
handing him his pack of cigarettes. "I found them in the
hallway." "Now," she said, "if only I could find my Bugsy."
Adios!
