Habits

There used to be a time when I loved to tell my friends that I'm allgeric to books. Sounded cool then. Like when people asked me is it because of the dust, and I would replied that I'm not a bookworm... something along this line. Lame I think, but I guess this is something we do when we are young.

Somewhere along NS, I started to pick up reading. My first book, I can still remember, is "The Power Within", by Chuck Norris. Was learning unarmed combat for my basic MP training, so was motivated to find out more about the arts. Wonderful book. Taught me nothing about martial arts. Instead, it taught me something more. Anyway, it would serve the book injustice to attempt to talk about it here, since I'm about to go to sleep soon.

Along the journey of life, we picked up different lessons. We meet different people, learn different language, experience different things and become a different person. I think I am a pretty slow learner, and there are a lot of things which I have learn from books and life experiences, which I have not truly understand/appreciate. Sometimes, slowly, I have this moment of enlightment, where something I have read suddenly become very clear to me. But sadly, most of the time, it does not, cos I'm s l o w...

Anyway, there is this particular habit which I read before, and now totally appreciate:

"Whenever I feel unhappy, I would write it down on a piece of paper, everything I ever felt. And then, I would take out a lighter, and alight the paper. Whatever problems I have would disappear like the wisps of smoke."
