When You Feel Like Quitting, Remember Why You Started

A great philosopher once said: one bad things doesn’t mean your life is over. So, don’t let one day ruin everything for you. It is just a bad day, not a bad life. If you wanna stop, remember why did you start??? Why did you do this, when you are about to give up??? If you give up, it means you never want it at the first place. If you tired, please rest. It is okay to feel anxiety or self doubt. Just take a deep breathe and keep your head up. 

Start over your mind to remember your purpose and those people who believe in you. Remember what their hopes and smiles were made of. Remember how heavy your first step was. Remember why did you hold on to that thing for so long. Some people never tired of filling your heart with garbage. 

They might be makes you stressy depressy lemon zesty. But, all you need to do is throw that lemon back at their life. A beautiful garden requires so much work. Someday, better days will come and you’ll get what you deserve. No matter how dark or lost your days may seen, there is a sunshine that lies ahead of you. Take a coffee and relax your nerves for a brighter day.

Life After Graduation (2)

Entering the “real world” after graduation for Second Time (First Bachelors degree, Second Masters degree). I am feeling lost, scared, lonely, and confused. In Psychology, it is a normal symptoms which is common in a person’s 20s-30s. This is literally thing called “quarter life crisis”. For everyone out there who are struggling with your quarter-life crisis, you are not alone. I am feeling anxious too, because no one ever told me how to be an adult. There are so many issues that I am dealing with: career, imperfections, social life, spiritual and etc. I am facing the truth that people will come and go. Most of them will go and you’ll live in a smaller circle. 

How to deal with quarter life crisis? I am trying to avoid overthinking and stop comparing my life with others. I believe everyone has their own path and it also mine. Envying other people is just ruin my happiness. Lastly, I am looking to psychologist/professional help to provide better suggestion on how to deal with it. If you find yourself can’t stop to overthinking, manic reaction, anxiety, or an inability to sleep. These are a signs that it is time for professional help. You can see a psychologist, psychiatrist, or mental health professional. 

Data is the new oil, is it true?

Petroleum is the most valuable commodity in the history of the world. But, many people says 2020 will be the year of data. Is data worth more than oil? Data is more valuable than oil. It can be used by many people simultaneously without being depleted. In a digital economy, companies have started treating data like an asset. We live in an age where running business with the help of data is the new standard. Data help us to know which of your products are currently hot items on the market. It is an important information that reflect personal data of costumers on the web searches. Google and Facebook have made billion dollar businesses from this data.

“If data were petroleum in the artificial intelligence era,

then China would be Saudi Arabia”

The founder and chief executive of Beijing-based Sinovation Ventures told that China would be the new Saudi Arabia. China is the country with massive number of internet users (greater than the United States and Europe) which provide the big data. China is projected to lead the world in artificial intelligence in less than 10 years to become the largest economy. If data is ‘the new oil’, then the data scientist functions much like an oil refinery, converting data into insights that can both save money and generate capital.

Keep Moving Forward

Whenever people from your past spread negative stuff about you, just remember that all they know is a past version of you, and now you’re not that person anymore. You don’t need to fight back or prove anything, just keep moving forward. What’s done is done and what’s gone is gone. One of the life’s most valuable lessons is learning how to let go and move on. Looking back at your good memories is fine but never let the past stop you from moving forward. If you want to fly on the sky, you need to be an eagle. If you want to move forward, you need to let go of the past and don’t let negative people drag you down. 

As we grow older and wiser, we have to let go of those childish thought and push ourselves forward to overcome our weaknesses and make them strengths. You cannot walk through the open door while looking back with feelings of unforgiveness, angriness, revenge etc. You need to clean those cobwebs to see that open door. Once you’re able to move on and close old doors, new doors will open, better opportunities will arise and, you will begin creating a story that moves you forward. Don't let the shadows of your past darken the doorsteps of your future. When you let in what's happening now you will find it easier to let go of the past and, live fully in the present.
