As i was growing up, the adults around me always tell me to think before i act, lest i have to bear the consequences...... which mainly refers to the unpleasant ones. We are trained to avoid the things that we dun not wan or situations that we may render ourselves in. And now i realized that we should be thinking more of how we shld train ourselves to look at the targets we like to ACHIEVE, the things WE WANT! Rather than thinking we shouldnt do this and that because it i dun wanna to fail or get hurt, we should be thinking what is our goal, how to get there and how exactly should i start off...
(Good point! Gemini #2 you have spoken well, Gemini #1 will take note)
Writing this 1st paragraph really got me thinking... and i noticed another issue that i have been struggling and still is... A certain ex-colleague gave me his observation of me, before he left. He said i have a very special hobby, and this hobby is nothing good or bad, its just how u look at it and how u use it.
For ppl like me, who has very little concentration span, hobby is not a common word that is in my possession. And it stirred up alot of my tots... By now, you might already noticed what the "hobby" is... He said:" You seems to have alot on yr mind, so much that probably thinking has become yr hobby rather than jus a process that goes on in yr head." In these recent weeks, i been having overwhelming feedback regarding this hobby of mine. And all these reminded me of a story that has been going round for quite a long time......

A grp of frens decided to take time off and enjoy their weekend at the beach. They got all excited and decided to jus packed and go. When they arrived at the beach, the sun was shining and the weather was good... The worries abt the beach being overcrowded were forgotten as soon as they reached there. Seeing the grps of ppl having fun completely took their focus off abt too many ppl and no space for them.
The grp of frens settled down and laid out their stuffs, its time for them to enjoy. Two of grp decided to go cycling, another one wanted to just lay in the sun and enjoy the warmth... The last of the 2 were quite undecided of what they wanted to do... One ask the other if she wanted to go to join in on cycling, but the other looked ard and replied that there were too many ppl and cycling wouldnt be much fun if they end up losing each other in the crowd. She counter-proposed on having a splashing good time in the water, but the fren worry abt the water being unclean and the sharp stones in the seabed that may cut their feet.
The discussion went on for sometime, then they finally decided to go for a walk ard. Then they realized that their suntanning fren had fallen asleep and feeling that it would be unsafe to leave the fren and their belongings unguarded, they decided to stay put and chit chat. The day went on and they all ended their beach day with a nice dinner.

As usual, ppl reading this might not understand wat i am writing, but its not a prob......
Cause i noe wat i am writing... especially when i am writing to myself and not directing a mail to YOU or U or YOU... ^_^
Anyway, my conclusion is...
Thinking is a process that goes on in my mind for decision making and problem solving, or even forseeing of certain events / consequences... It is not a characteristic or a habit that i should or can get rid of, its a necesscity in not only my life, but to all. Though it may disable me in certain areas, but there are also alot of areas where it can enable me to do a better job, or make a decision.
The clarity i have now is that, i have to watch myself and be careful on overdoing in thinking... afterall too mcuh of everything is good. I should learn and keep checks on myself if i have think too much, or if i should jus take a chance and jump into something.
I used to think that calculated risk taking is the best option we can have, and to do that alot of thoughts has to be put into it... But now i find that if we take too long to calculate the risk, it will render the calculation to be ineffective. As time is not a constant element , all things changes as the next second / minute or even hour approaches. Maybe i should really watch the time i used to consider or decide on the things i need to do, i want to do and i choose to do......
