Not everything is what it appears on the surface.



Had a week off for super sore throat. And it gave me time to regroup. I guess I learnt a lot from this one week of hanging out with Mr.J. I always make presumptions on people and judge them from their appearance, their behaviour in front of people but I guess it's not the rite way to think.

First of all, people with a secure job doesn't mean they are really comfortable if they choose the wrong strategy in handling their money. Not that I say I am pro in handling money. I also is very noob at spending properly but I guess from the mistakes I see a lot of people do I must be careful when I have a lot of money in the future. From what I see, Mr.J is pretty smart at handling money because he has a plan on almost all outcomes. But he is noob in some of his strategy and it is not totally perfect but nothing is perfect.

Second, not everyone who appears noob is a noob and not everyone who appears pro is a pro. Of course we need to act pro to give the right impression but it is also important that we also show our willingness to appear noob when doing something because nobody is pro the first time they walk. No human is pro at walking straightaway they come out of birth. So everyone has become noob more than once in their life. Some women who look confident might be the most insecure and some who is quiet might be secure.

Third, every noob mistake or situation is a lesson to be pro. I am noob at a lot of things especially in some things like making the right move with girls whenever I am given the oppurtinity. So I guess it is embarassing to be noob at this thing but hey, we can always turn around noob things and learn to be pro. A fight with someone over a noob reason can be turned into a positive thing. We can learn to forgive or learn to handle these typr of people better in the future.

4th, nothing that involves human being is constant. I learn this from the current situation in EPL where suddenly my fav team, the Reds snapped MU seemingly unstobbale winning streak. I must admit I have started to not watch MU games when they were basically winning without any effort in the 15-match streak they strung, but I believe if a noob try and just compete, one day he will be closer and closer to the pro and even if he cant beat the pro, he will improve and improve. Mr.J prove this theory with the tennis video game. He is not so pro in the game and took a long time adjusting to the game but he proved that although it took a longer time for him to adjust to the game than me, he eventually managed to win a game by just playing it over and over again.

After this long essay, I realize, it is all basically common sense but sure we need to remind ourselves. There's no way we can remember to everything forever. Maybe our Hard disk is big, but our RAM is not so big. Maybe we store so many info in our 400GB brain but things that we remember in our RAM maybe just 1 GB like most computers.

So as it is, maybe this blog is noob-looking, but for me it has a very pro reason of existence: as a reminder to me about all the lessons I learn coz I may seem pro but actually just a noob like every noob in this noob world. :D
