TaiChi Master+Lazy+Bitchy+Rude

What do you get when you add all those up together? A wonderfully amazing BAD DAY!
Must be my luck, or the lack of it. i always have to encounter at least one or 2 such people at work.

its a wonder,why the hell are these people still breathing and living?taking up our ever diminishing resources. if they was more honest and come clean saying they don’t know how to do it, people would be more willing to help. rather than coming up with lame ass excuses like,”oh, i’m have things to do and will be tied up.i’m afraid i might not be able to make it today” and then proceed to give you a call right before 6pm asking if you’d need his help right now. impeccable timing, the ability to call and pretend to be concerned about the job right when the job has been completed. an amazing skill to be learned. it must be all the taichi training, mind+body+soul = six sense!! damn, i better start honing mine.

as if cleaning up someone else’s ass is not bad enough,i have to encounter a noisy bitchy that steps all over the shit and barks a lot when i’m trying to clean it up. and to call herself an educator of the future leaders at that. a beacon for the young bright minds indeed.no wonder the younger generation is deteriorating. good thing i’m born just slightly a few years earlier, else i would have to be “educated’ by such an educator.

enough fuming for now..i’m off to bed. been sleeping very late too often. i’m losing my youthful looks.
now i look like i’m 22 instead of 18. ahh…my youth! where art thou?!

People are Motivated by Selfish Altruism

i do not usually like to link up other people’s post but this is a good read.

this is an excerpts from the article which i agree with the most;

Rule Two: People are Motivated by Selfish Altruism

To say all behavior is strictly selfish would be misleading. It fails to account for acts of charity, ethics and why people don’t just cheat, swindle and lie all the time. Selfish altruism is a broader category that covers why people do nice things as a way to get what they want.

By studying primates, researchers noticed four main categories of selfish altruism. I believe they are the same categories we use, even if slightly more sophisticated:
Dominance - Some primates will give help as a way of asserting dominance in the group. It is as if they are saying, “Look at how powerful I am that I can give some of my resources to help you.”
Reciprocity - You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. The idea is that I do a favor for you with the assumption it will be returned one day. If the cost to me is less than the benefit towards you, I might help you even if I can’t predict an immediate payback.
Trade - If we both have something the other person wants, we have a reason to interact. While reciprocity is vague on the details of a payback, trade is direct.
Familial - It makes sense, from an evolutionary perspective, to help those who might share your genes.

By looking through this lens of selfish altruism, you can better make decisions. Viewing people as completely uncaring or selfish is incomplete. But expecting people to think of you constantly and do nice things for free is dangerous.

This will be the last post that will be written in Singapore.
Shucks, now I am feeling sad and a little reluctant to leave.
and I will definitely be missing the life I have here and all the people that I know.
I am gonna be oh so lonely over there too.

Nothing much to say but thanks for all the great times, guys!
