Self-abasement. It is humiliating oneself when one feels lower or less deserving of respect. In a way, everyone got self-abasement in some way. Sometime, self-abasement can be a catalyst to push you further, to work harder, to have that courage to work towards your goal and your dreamself.

However, is self-abasement good? It is not a black and white thing, it is how you give your "self-abasement" the meaning towards your life. It can be a catalyst or an "EXCUSE" for you to not strive in life.

Objective and Subjective. What you encounter in life and how you feel about it is mostly how do you view it subjectively. It is about what meaning you give to those aspect.

For example, body height. Even though you might be shorter than the average height of your region, and that is an objective view. However, does it means you have to feel bad and sad about your life? Definitely not right. It is about what you give meaning to your life on the body height aspect.

You can be complaining to a tall friend about your short height, about how you envy him. But he might envy you, saying that shorter in height did not provoke people much. See, everything is subjective in view.

With this in view, your suffering might be just how you view your life subjectively.

Whatever happen to you now, it is not caused by the environment, it is the choice you made along the way (consciously or unconsciously) that cause it. If you say, it is caused by the environment, people wont be able to succeed if they are from a similar environment, however, we still hear those aspiring story.

Hence, it is not the environment, it is YOU. However, you may be thinking to yourself, I WANT TO CHANGE but i just can't? why, because you dont have the courage, the courage to change.
Normally people don't change even though the situation is bad it is because they are used to it. Even if bad thing happen to them in this situation, at least they are familiar with the bad thing and are able to deal with it.

To put it bluntly, you are not able to change, because YOU are scared. You are scared of what could be lying in front, what could happen if you change, what will you do if you faced with a new problem. Then, you think to yourself, actually, the situation now is not half-bad.

Urgent matter, most of the time is not important. Importnat matter, most of the time is not urgent.

We, tends to be insensitive about long-term benefits, we only sensitive on the urgent matter that we can solve immediately.

Hence, take out some time per week, to observe back what you did this week, evaluate each task you did. See what is urgent, and what is truly important.

Get back your time, because, TIME IS THE REAL RESOURSE THAT PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED.

Opportunity is good, however, too much opportunity is a disaster. Under today's world, everything is fast, and with the reach of internet, you are able to read about / observe others' success story. Some got famous due to one post, some got rich due to one investment, some got success due to an online store, etc.

These kind of stories are all around, which means opportunities are actually everywhere. But why is it a disaster, it is because you. Yes, you. You don't actually have enough focus to do them simultaneously. Hence, you need to evaluate the opportunity in front of your eye, does it suit you?

STAY FOCUSED, and do well what you already know.

Principle 17 – Take advantage of Feedback
Use feedback to your advantage in life. Even though, there are “positive” and “negative” feedbacks. Both offer valuable information to us. One signifies that you are on the right track, the other one can be seen as opportunity of improvement. Do not ignore feedback or react poorly, accept them gracefully. However, there are also feedbacks that are not true at the first glance. If those not-true feedbacks just keep popping up here and there, then maybe there is some truth to it, time to dig deeper for the truth.

In this journey of life, how do we ensure that we can reach where we want to be? The answer is to constantly listen for feedback. No matter how many times you sway off-track, by listening to feedback, you can correct your course and point yourself in the right directions.

To beat procrastination, you first must think far and back your action up with a cause.

How to beat procrastination then? Firstly, you need to cultivate a long-term thinking mind. Most of the time, people procrastinate on stuff that is good for them but only in a long-term. Because it doesn’t give you feedback straight away, this cause procrastination to set in very easily and quickly. Besides, a long-term thinking mindset, you will need to have some causes, be it internal or external as simple as money. These causes will be the driving force for you to overcome procrastination and take action.

External causes are easier to find, for example, money, pride, visibility, etc but they tend not to be that strong and long lasting. Internal causes, on the other hand, however, are like a full internal combustion engine that keep burning if you keep feeding it. Internal causes are such as the great will to help others, the ambitious to make the world a better place, the ambitious to educate people on mental health, etc.

Procrastination will damage you more than a failure.

Procrastination seems like a common problem today, however, not much attention is paid to solve this problem. This is due to the damage of procrastination may not be that obvious in today where thing happens so fast and there is always new fresh stuff that will take your attention away.

The true damage that procrastination bring to your life is the statement of “what you might have been” if you did not procrastinate. What you might have been if you follow through the plan you draw up. Even if that plan failed, the damage it did might have been lower than procrastinate then not follow through the plan. As, if you follow through the plan, and fail, you have lesson learnt from the experience.

On the other hand, if you procrastinate, you got nothing to gain at all. You will just keep thinking “What you might have been” and one day, maybe feel sad about it.

Isolate the clue of bad habit, and increase the visibility of the good habit

Don’t you want to be excellent? Or be a better person than you are now? Well, you can. Excellence doesn’t come together with you; excellence is a result of good habit. Repetitive of a good action will resulting in forming of a good habit, which in turns improve your quality of life.

However, before you go and form lots of good habit. We need to talk about the bad one. Research shows that breaking a bad habit is hard, like real hard. However, stopping us from performing the bad habit is easier. In order to achieve so, one must isolate the clue of the bad habit and make the clue disappear from your vision.

The law of broken windows states that even though the property is being vandalized because of the broken windows, but how to prevent the broken windows are the real solution here. In this case, broken windows are the clue, and vandalism of the property is your bad habit.

Three pillars of productivity : Easier to start a task, Having fun in doing a task and desirable outcome

If you are wondering, why do you don’t have the motivation to initiate a task and finish it, you might need to know about the three pillars of productivity. Three pillars are: make the start of task easier, make the task fun & interesting as well as make the outcome desirable. The easier to start a task, the higher chance that you are going to do it. Hence, if you got a big task, break it down smaller and start with a simpler smaller task that will lead to the big task. By making the task fun & interesting, you can stay doing the task longer, hence completing it. Lastly, make the outcome desirable to you, so that you know what you are into and what you will get in the end of it. However, this are the brief explanation, for example, setting a wrong desirable outcome may hinder you motivation.

Having higher income to ensure extra money is a vital step in building wealth.

Earning sufficient income, that is higher than your expenses, is vital to have extra for regular saving + investment. The first step, sufficient income is very important for amassing wealth, that’s why nobody will complain if we have multiple income sources. Income sources mainly divided into active income & passive income. Active income involves some degree of exertion as exchange for money, while passive income requires only minimal involvement. Example of active income, is like your daily job and part-time job, on the other hand, passive income is like rent from rented property, dividend from stocks, capital gains, interest from bond, etc.

2nd point : Output will help you strengthen your understanding on the stuff you learn.

If you do feel like after you read / learn something, you don’t feel any improvement. One is because of good stuff need thing to work, secondly, is that you didn’t output it out. Always input and no output, will cause you forget the thing you learnt. You will feel like you nvr learn it before.

Output can be write in out, teaching people or just practicing the stuff that you learn. This is because you need to understand it fully first before outputting, especially with the case of writing it out and teaching people. This will further strengthen the understanding. Besides, by outputting, you are able to hike on the power of feedback loop. When you actually done it, you or others can give feedback, and you can further improve on it.

If you want something, TAKE ACTION.

In a hall, the speaker in front takes out a 100-dollar bill and asked, “Who wanted this 100 dollar?” Most of the people raise their hands, some even wave their hands and shout “give it to me, give it to me”. However, the speaker just stood there with the 100-dollar in his hand. Some minutes have passed, someone finally stood up, walk in front and took the 100-dollar from the speaker’s hand. The speaker nodded and smiled, then he asks the class “what do you think happen?”

The class confused; the speaker says, “one people among you all takes necessary action”. You could say to yourself, “I don’t want to be looking too greedy” “That person needs more than me”, etc. These are all thinking that stop you from acting. If these stop you from acting here, it might have stopped you from acting in another place too. Some of these are also just assumptions and own thinking that you made up.

1st Point : Apply 20/80 rule into your learning

How to learn effectively by practicing? 4 key point I learned today are: focus on the 20% that will bring you 80% result, set incremental goal for your learning, ride on the power of feedback loop to strengthen your learning and focus on the small wins/steps you can take.

By the rule of 80/20, discover in your learning which 20% is more interesting to you, focus on that learning. It doesn’t mean that the remaining 80% is not important, but that 20% is probably the main reason you started to learn anyway. Focus on the part that will give you the most result back is good 😊

There is no use to learn if you no use what you learn.

Today I learn that learning is good, but it is not the end of the process. To make the learning meaningful, you need to practice and utilize the knowledge. I bet you heard before “there is no use to learn”. The sentence holds truth as in there is no use to learn if you no use what you learn. Without hands on / utilization, the knowledge that you hold will slowly fade away.

No matter how talented you are in the beginning, if you don’t polish your talent, it is gone, someone who started later but polished the skill, will have a better talent that you.

However, how to practice? That is…

It’s not about reading fast; it’s about understood the reading and why you read.

Speed reading, it’s not about reading fast. What’s more important is that you capture and understand what you read. I have watched a few videos on this topic and brought a book from store about it. The general sense I get is that, in order to speed read and understand, you need to understand first as a whole what roughly the book it’s about by reading the introduction or flip through the book.

In addition, you need to know on what the purpose of you is reading the book. Knowing the purpose will form a structure in your mind to be filled up by the information you are getting from the book.

[Aware of Elephant Thinking as assumed constraints hurts your mind]

Two words: Elephant Thinking. The story of a circus raising an elephant from young by tying it to a pole that can’t break by it when it is young. However, when the elephant grows up, it didn’t even try to break the pole even though it breaks it easily. So, what does it sums up?

Assumed Constraints, meaning that you are constraint by your assumptions. Assumption will be based on your experience, something you heard from, something you think yourself, etc. With assumed constraint in your mind, you can’t think from all angles, you will be keep focusing on the negative side of the constraint (normally).

Today, I learn about saving money. Don’t see saving money as a delay enjoyment, changed it to enjoyment stabilizer.

With the saved money, you can take more risk in your life. In other words, you will be able to enjoy more of your life, as in your mind, you know there is a pool of money you can fall back into. Why do you want to change this mindset? Because delayed enjoyment seems like a negative aspect of your life, meaning you are sacrificing something. Enjoyment stabilizer, to you, more to a neutral / positive wording. It doesn’t give you the vibe of bad stuff.

[Sharing #1]

Why do I pick the name "A Depressed YoYo" ? I can assure you, it is not because of funny reason. In fact, I have been diagnosed as "Depression" 8 months ago. At that time, I have been administered "Long Illness Leave" from my company.

So ya, depression is not joke. The reason the name is this, I want to share my process occasionally, just to help others that are in the sickness as well as promote higher public awareness of this. No joke, past 2 years have been rough, COVID-19 pendemic help like a truck, lost job, activity restriction, etc... Variety of happening around one in the last 2 years is very new and some might not just able to cope with it.

In this page, i will just share my process, my thought, and how I not relapse into. The first step, the real first step, is to admit and recognize that you have depression or prone to depression episode. This step seems simple, however, ask in yourself, are you really admit it? or are you just following what the doctor say?

ask you self ;)
