Cry

The ability to cry is a God's gift to living beings. It is just a storm, where anger and hysterical crying sets the scene of a dramatic scene and then after that, the storm subside followed by the beautiful serene drizzles which signifies the beauty of crying to reach the ultimate calmness of the mind where everything begins to be clearer compare to the storm.

Many perceived crying as a weakness. Many are not willing to shed tears infront of the public because of not wanting to embarrass oneself. Usually it is unusual to see a person crying and when one sees someone crying, it tends to lead one to think that that someone is having a hard time and needs help. Crying helps to soften one's heart and subtle crying helps to calm one's mind. If one can appreciate this gift and perceived it as a tool to manage one's mind, one can feel the amazing power crying can provide.

There are many types of tears from tears of sadness to tears of joy. Both are equally good if done subtlely. A person who finds it hard to reveal his/her feelings will find the solution through a good cry privately. Crying relieved the stress build up in the body and a good cry will relieved that stress, same as a good laugh or a good scream on top of a roof. However, I chose to cry as it is easier. So give a good cry every morning to freshen up your day.

Calm

The calmer you are the less bias your mind is and the clearer the picture it will become.

So if one is agitated, frustrated, scared, angry, hysterical etc anything that does not lead to the mind being calm, the mind has a strong bias towards that emotion exhibited and hence the decision outcome will be not neutral and usually the decision is not the best.

The best solution always come from a calm mind.

If Tomorrow Never Come

This is a beautiful song where the writer wrote on the perspective of what if he left the world prematurely without having to tell his love ones how much he loves them. What if tomorrow never comes, did you leave enough love for them to get around?

In complement to my previous entry where I viewed from the perspective of the surviving person, this writer provides the other part of the picture to complete the circle.

However, in the second versus, the writer also touches on my previous entry where he express regrets for not saying how he feel after his love ones have move on. So the song actually complete the whole picture.

Overall, both entries cover love and regrets. The previous entry highlight the regrets the surviving partner have after his/her love one move on, highlighting the love that s/he still had within for his/her partner. The second highlighted the regrets the person who left has, not having to do the most important things in his/her live which is to tell his/her love ones the true feelings internally that s/he has not being able to express externally to them.

Risk

Risk is inversely proportional to Knowledge. The less knowledge about something you want to do, the higher the risk. Similarly, the more knowledge, the lesser the risk. So to reduce risk, knowledge is needed.

We are all the same

Every odd days when I crosses Raffles MRT Station underground to SGX, I saw a wheel bound man selling tissue papers. I asked myself whether am I different from him. No. I am no different. The only thing that I got is a body that have more features than what he was given. If he got what I got, he just got the same gadgets that I have but still we are the same. As such, I am no different from any living things on earth. We are just different by what we have after we acknowledge ourselves. Hence I am no better than you or you are no better than me without what we received. So when what we received are taken away from us i.e. detaching from the physical body like detaching from a physical items, we are all the same, naked, nameless, shapeless. So why compare? Ultimately you and me will reached the same level we started with.

Soul vs Mind

Mind over Matter? Mind over Body? I have this term being introduce to me many years back, I can't remember during my Army Days to get over obstacles mentally. I have to say it does work but it also does kill if not used properly. I remembered a number of great healthy athletes reported in the news where they pushes the limits their bodies can take and eventually killing themselves. Their mind refusal to stop forces the other parts of the body to exert further until they either able to cope or broke down beyond recovery. Hence, it is vital to know your limits and conditioning is a must when taking a task that requires extended physical endurance one never attempted before.

That is when the soul has to come in. The soul has to control the mind from over stretching the capability limits of the body. The mind is also a body part but it is a part that needs more control then the other parts as it attempts to take control from the soul. So instead of Mind Over Body or Mind over Matter, focus on Soul over Body or Soul over Matter because deep in the soul, knows the capability limit of the body.

The Market

I posted an entry about the market comparing her to my virtual mistress @ http://sveston.blogspot.com/2010/09/I-was-wrong.html and I was wrong to say that she was a mistress that is spending my account like a free flow credit card.

Just yesterday, I thought she was behaving erratically. She rose to levels that I have not seen before but I have only been trading for 2 months and of course how much would I have seen actually. Anyway still believing that she is erratic on that day, I woke up the next morning and did my preparation for the day trading session. What I saw gave me a very different perspective.

Out of the chaos and disbelieved that I thought that the market is erratic, I was so hallucinated negatively not to see the pattern that she has form for me to see. In my mind, all I care was to get out of position whenever I can. Not at 40t away but somewhere in the vicinity of 10 to 15t. However, clearly she showed me a pattern that I can bet on by adding on another position and get out faster and even with a profit. I am just too distracted to get out via a retracement that I missed it entirely.

She just showed that she is not a mistress that spend my account like her credit card but someone who actually left cues to guide me how to place my entry. Not all that glitters are gold. Good things are not always good and bad things are not always bad. For example, bitter medicines taste terrible but is good for the body.

She (the market) has all along being guiding me by giving me cues in advance what she is going to do next. It is just that I have been fearful by believing that she is there to trap me. By changing the believed that she is there to guide me, I am now less fearful to follow her.
