The 90/10 Principle

Consider a situation: You're eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter accidentally knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You curse and harshly scold your daughter for the mishap. She breaks down in tears.

After scolding her, you turn to your wife and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal argument follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your wife must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 80 km an hour in a 60 km/h speed limit zone. After a 15-minute delay and paying a $60 traffic fine, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs to the building without saying goodbye.

After arriving at the office 30 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terribly, and as it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to going home. When you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your wife and daughter. Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning.

Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B)Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the traffic policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is D.

You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened:

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "It's OK honey, you just need to be more careful next time." Grabbing a towel, you rush upstairs, change your shirt, and grab your briefcase. You come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You and your wife kiss before you both go to work. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good a day you are having.

Notice the difference. Two different scenarios. Both started the same but ended differently. Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% is determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 secret:

If someone says something negative about you, do not be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly, and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out, etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound the steering wheel? Curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the blue car ruin your drive?

Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it! If you are told you lost your job, why lose sleep or get irritated? It will work out. Channel your energy and time into finding another job. If the plane is late, and it is going to mangle your schedule for the day, why vent your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to read, get to know the other passengers, etc. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90/10 secret. Apply it, and you will be amazed at the results.

Last April 2024, I had a chance to conduct a branding and advertising workshop to marketing students incorporating the ideology of design thinking.

A branding and advertising workshop offers numerous advantages, particularly when it incorporates the principles of design thinking. These workshops provide participants with a structured yet creative environment to explore and refine their brand identity and messaging. By leveraging design thinking, which emphasizes empathy, ideation, and iterative prototyping, attendees can generate innovative solutions that resonate deeply with their target audience. This collaborative approach not only fosters a deeper understanding of customer needs and desires but also encourages cross-functional teamwork, leading to more cohesive and impactful branding strategies. Ultimately, such workshops empower businesses, organisations, and institutions to stand out in a crowded market and build stronger, more authentic connections with their audience.

July 20, 2024: I got the chance to be invited and to speak about mental health and community-based psychosocial support for the youth of Brgy. 16, Bacolod City. The event was organized by Brgy. 16's Sangguniang Kabataan, and with me was Ms. Alizah Mahinay, a psychology graduate from RCI and currently a guidance office staff member at BCC.

We hoped that our advocacy for mental health would elevate the youth's understanding, raise awareness, and lessen the stigma surrounding mental health through these kinds of activities.

SHOULD WE HAVE BEEN ADAPTING THE KAIZEN PHILOSOPHY ALREADY?

The kaizen principle, rooted in Japanese culture, emphasizes continuous improvement through small, incremental changes. It operates on the belief that consistent, minor enhancements can lead to significant, long-term progress. In business and personal development, kaizen encourages every member of an organization or individual to seek ways to improve processes, efficiency, and quality. This principle fosters a culture of proactive problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability, leading to sustainable growth and innovation. Ultimately, kaizen is about striving for excellence through persistent, collective effort and an unwavering commitment to betterment. Furthermore, Kaizen is more than a business strategy; it is a philosophy that can be applied to various aspects of life.

Becoming a mental health advocate.

Probably, mental health is the least talked about topic in our society today. There is still a stigma on how the world views it. Being an advocate for mental health means to raise awareness and at least lessen the stigma whether be it in an individual’s life, work, family, relationships, and environment or anywhere. Anyone can be an advocate regardless of age, background, culture, and beliefs.

Supporting the advocacy on mental health can alleviate one’s life and it starts with awareness. One doesn’t need to live with a mental health condition to be an advocate for others.

“Only increased awareness and addressment can help increase access to treatment,” says Indra Cidambi, a certified psychiatrist in Summit, New Jersey.

As a life coach and a mental health advocate, I am extending my professional services as a mental health trainer under Project AHA (AHA Psychological Training Services | Projectaha Psychological Training Services) in line with the passion and mission to promote awareness of mental wellness and resilience at the personal and community levels.

Areas of Focus:

Mental Health First Aid, Psychological First Aid, Crisis Management, Stabilization of Trauma Survivors, Emotional Coping, Stress Management, and Grounding Techniques

For more inquiries and details, please don’t hesitate to message me. We’re just humans. Let’s set the goal and take action. ☺️

What is climate anxiety and how to cope with it? Here are some info notes about the topic.

Coping mechanisms for climate anxiety are essential for maintaining mental well-being while continuing to engage in meaningful action. In addition to the topic of climate anxiety, climate solutions not only improve the quality of our air and food but also enhance our cognitive abilities and strengthen our mental health.

What are the roles of Psychometricians?

Many of you are probably curious about the differences among the professions of Psychometricians, Guidance Counselors, Psychologists, and Psychiatrists.

The fields of psychometrics, guidance counseling, psychology, and psychiatry, while overlapping in the realm of mental health and assessment, each have distinct roles, educational requirements, and areas of expertise. So, here’s the list below.

Psychometricians:

- Specialize in administering, scoring, and interpreting psychological tests.
- Usually, they hold a bachelor's degree in psychology and must pass a licensure exam specific to psychometry in some countries.
- Work primarily in educational settings, research institutions, and human resources departments.
- Focus on measuring behavior, intelligence, and personality through standardized tests.

Guidance Counselors:

- Provide advice and guidance to students or clients, focusing on educational, career, social, and emotional issues.
- Typically, they require a master's degree in school counseling or a related field.
- Work in educational settings such as schools and colleges, but can also be found in private practice.
- Develop and implement comprehensive counseling programs that support student achievement and personal development.

Psychologists:

- Study cognitive, emotional, and social processes and behavior by observing, interpreting, and recording how people relate to one another and to their environments.
- Usually hold a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in psychology.
- Can work in a variety of settings, including academic, research, clinical, and counseling environments.
- Some specialize in treating mental health issues through therapy and counseling, but cannot prescribe medication.

Psychiatrists:

- Medical doctors (MD or DO) who specialize in mental health, including substance use disorders.
- Able to prescribe medication, perform physical examinations, and order or interpret laboratory tests and brain imaging scans.
- Often work in hospitals, private practice, or other medical settings.
- Focus on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders through a combination of medication management and psychotherapy.

In summary, while all four professions contribute significantly to understanding and improving mental health and human behavior, their approaches, methods, and tools vary. From the quantitative focus of psychometricians and the developmental support provided by guidance counselors to the therapeutic interventions of psychologists and the medical treatments prescribed by psychiatrists, each plays a crucial role in the broader mental health ecosystem.

For today’s motivation, let’s reflect on the Parable of the Talents.

The Parable of the Talents, found in the Bible in the book of Matthew, tells the story of a master who entrusts his servants with different amounts of money (talents) while he goes away on a journey. Upon his return, he finds that two of the servants have invested and doubled the talents given to them, while one simply buried the money out of fear. The master rewards the first two servants for their diligence and condemns the third for his inaction.

This parable serves as a powerful reminder for us to identify and utilize the unique gifts and abilities we have been given. It challenges us to not only recognize our talents but to also take courageous steps to develop and share them with the world. By embracing our talents, nurturing them, and using them to make a positive impact, we fulfill our purpose and honor the blessings we have received.

Why do we feel calm when we see something green?

Seeing the color green can have various psychological effects on individuals. This connection to nature can trigger a sense of tranquility as it reminds us of peaceful, serene environments. Green is often associated with nature, growth, and harmony, which can evoke feelings of calmness, balance, and renewal. Psychologically, green is believed to have a soothing effect on the mind and body, making it a color that can reduce stress and anxiety. Additionally, green is also linked to creativity and fertility, which can inspire feelings of innovation and abundance.

In terms of color psychology, green is thought to promote feelings of hope, safety, and stability. It is considered a color of balance between the mind and the emotions, promoting a sense of equilibrium and well-being. For some people, seeing the color green may also trigger memories of being outdoors in nature, which can further enhance its positive psychological effects. Overall, the color green can have a range of psychological impacts, from promoting relaxation and peace to stimulating creativity and growth.

My Story

Hi, I’m Tin and this is my story.

In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and during the quarantine period, I realized a lot of things so I created this page to try things out and think things through.

I’ve always been passionate about creating ideas and designing digital content and graphics. Sharing it through blogging was I think a way for me to communicate it. I started blogging last 2015 and now I’m just reviving it. One of my goals is to feature businesses, other bloggers and vloggers promote their passion just like what I am doing with mine.

Ironic? I don’t think so.
