Baby Steps to Greatness: Start by Making Good Habits
 |
| It's the things you do today that make-up your future |
My
uncle once gave the most important tip in studying effectively: read and understand the book from cover to
cover “literally”. Whether it’s the copyright’s page, the index, the table
of contents, the edition, or just the testimonials, reading these can greatly
help in assimilating the lessons the author wrote in his book. He told me this
after quizzing me with what I was reading – an Engineering book which I was
surprised to see he understood more even if his profession was lined up in
political science (take note he just read it then and there). It was then that
I saw what was wrong with my study habits (particularly my reading). I love to
read and did very well in class; but I could have performed even better.

My Free Time, Schooling, and Dreams...
People ask : Where have you been?
I answered : Working....
They ask again : Where...and what did you do....?
I replied : I became a writer and I taught college (math and logic circuits)...
Then they say (nodding) : Ah!
I get a lot of these lately: the nods, the questions, and of course the are-you-sure looks (as if I am not so sure of what I'm saying). It's been a while since I last entered the steps of my Alma Matter, and honestly--in as much as I am pleased to be back--I can't help but question other people's sincerity when they talk to me, or see me, walking along the corridors (and the surprise looks whenever I'd climb the stairs).

First Attempt: For the Love of Haiku...
It started with a comment...then came the suggestion...
This is my first attempt for a haiku not to mention in Japanese Calligraphy. Thanks to the Midnight Writer and Sir Ben I found another interest to study (and I hope there will be a follow-up with this one) -- and a good tattoo design I wish to have (but take note in Henna since I can't imagine myself growing old with ink on my skin hehe). Comments and suggestions are welcome and are very much appreciated. I do hope I did good here (although this is not the traditional one). But in case there are indeed some correction then I'll gladly revise this one (and once I get to figure out how to write it in traditional jap calligraphy)...hehe...
