YES! Finally got myself a blog entry, but doesn't really know what am I suppose to write about. I guess an introduction is not necessary? (kinda lame in my opinion) I guess I'm just gonna practice writing out whatever things in my mind, since my lecturer/tutor recommend me to write also, but that was on journal part for my Final Year Project in Uni, =.=|||
Today I talk to my friend about "Value".
[The value here is not the figures, according to google, the "value" I was referring has the definition of "a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life." For more info on it, can refer this link, "http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTED_85.htm"]
He mentioned to me that he want to earn money, so that he can have the necessary funds to pursue his dreams, and to do the things he like to do. He shared some of his ideas with me, and it got me thinking, what does he really want?
I asked him, imagine you have all the money in your life, you can have anything in the world, what would you do with your life? That is the time I introduced him the word "value", but sadly, i couldn't explained clearly what does "value" means, and he is probably confused what I'm trying to say.
I came to learn about this word first from my friends, which attended classes of NLP. That time I was deeply unhappy with my situation, I just got out of a terrible relationship, probably most of it was my fault. My friends tried their best to help me with my situation, which I am very grateful of. They conducted a simple test with me, trying to know/let me know what is really my core value, something which will make me happy.
Then, surprisingly I started to read books about self-improvement. I used "surprisingly" because I used to hate reading anything, I like musics, I like movies, but I hate study/read. Now I realized I always love to read, I just need to find out what topics I like about. That is the beginning of my self-improvement stage. (I think, because I' m currently still in this stage.) From the books I buy, some of them mentioned "value" also, hence I deduce the identification of a person's core value is important for his/her self-improvement.
I find out that my value seems to be changing from time to time. In long term, value may change but in this case mine was frequent changing, so I have to admit I have not fully understand what my core values are. However, I do somehow able to size it down. I know I'm into the self-development stuff, I know I don't really like engineering, etc. Many days I have think about this, what do I want? Does this makes me happy? What is my life mission? What is my goal? Can I achieve it? Why am I so sensitive about this? Why am I doing the things I'm doing? All these questions sometimes drives me crazy, because they have no answer yet. I think this situation happens to all those people who are trying to figure out their life, but sometimes it does help us to know more and understand about not just ourselves, it can help us to understand others also.
Back to my friend's case, I do send him the link I put up there, hoping he would take some time to read it. In the end, I hope he will figure out what he wants, and be happy, and then I'll be happy too.
