Overcoming the odds
Impossible is Possible
.
Jolin Tsai 蔡依林 inspiring moments.

When you feel like giving up on something, watching some inspiring things may really help. After watching this, I feel that there were a lot of people who were giving their best in everything they do and what they want to achieve are challenging. This leaves me to ponder why sometimes I could not put in the determination needed for simple task that I choose to procrastinate than finished it.
The feeling of "Time wasted" or "Nothing accomplished today" started to swell up. Yet, I knew that I would feel this way if I choose the corresponding actions.
Disaster is frequently reported on the news nowadays and the recent Japan's earthquake that results in tsunami and subsequently the nuclear power plant leakage shown evidence that humans are still no match for Nature. To make things worse, Japan was snowing and it was definitely freezing for the people in Japan, especially those who lost everything in just a split second.
However, warmth could still be felt. Rescue missions were still in progress, which is still within the golden 72 hours and dangers of possible aftershock still lurked. People in Japan were calm and there were no signs of unrest. For example, people queued up in orderly manner to make phone calls to their love ones and lined up to make purchases in convenient stores. This contributed to reducing woes of the damage brought about by the disaster. Imagine people started robbing and stirring up trouble while rescue missions were being carried out, this would make matters worse.
People affected by disaster were able to pull themselves together after a big disaster and this was not easy. If they could overcome the difficulties ahead of them and rebuild their life from scratch, why would we not achieve little simple task in life?
If impossible is possible, the little difficulties that we faced in life are considered as peanuts to those trying to survive in real disaster. Instead of whining, think about how others can achieve the impossible and why you could not.
Besides that, learn the art of 'letting go'. For illustration, when facing a tsunami, if you could not let go of physical items, like your house, and you hesitate for just that spilt second, you may end up being swept away by the tsunami. By letting go, there will be fewer burdens to carry. Applying this art of 'letting go' to individual level, things that may annoy us or make us angry may seem insignificant. You may realise that there is nothing to feel negative about and it is definitely not impossible to say "I can". You may then feel that it is really stupid of you to get work up at little things that you could just brush off and ignore it.
It is possible to achieve the impossible if you think you can. If there are people who can put more than 100% into things they do and there are people who survived great disaster, impossible is possible. I'm sure you are one of those who have 'levelled up', do you?

a REAL Makeover
Last time, it was a picture that was edited, where I just placed a wig over the head!
.
.
As compared to now, I got a new haircut and there you got it!
.
.
It felt great that I got a new haircut! I took a shorter time to shower and dry my hair. I can run without a heavy burden on my head. I did not even need to worry about my hair getting messy from a sudden gust of wind!
.
There were various reactions towards my sudden change in hairstyle. Some were utterly shocked and asked whether I was under too much stressed. Some were in favour of the new haircut (and those were the ones that persuaded me for the change). Some just did not care. Lol.
.
Those were initial reactions.
.
After that, nicknames started to pop out like mushrooms -- ranging from Chicken Little (when I wore glasses) to boy-boy, etc.
.
Those nicknames did not matter at all. I would not die from just these names, so I was surprised at how creative people were in coming up with nicknames. I'm sure they can definitely join the marketing department and come up with creative ideas for their projects.
.
A new haircut for a new year! After keeping long hair for 2 years, this was probably a really bold move but I did not regret it. Let's be brave and faced everything with courage! =D
.
Ciao!
