When the going gets tough, tough feels like quitting
2008-10-21 06:07:00 As much as I try to write and move this blog forward, new and weird issues continue to challenge me. I’ve been sick for a week now with high fever and chills with a lot of body ache. Not only that, my desktop got infected with some virus and trojans which keep directing my browser to agoga.com. What frustrates me more and more is that none of the spyware programs I have downloaded are able to clean this shit out and the pc has almost come to a halt. It just freezes when I try running ad-aware or spybot - search and destroy.  I recently restored one of my friend’s computers because she was having the same problems and thought now that I did it once, it should be a breeze to return my own pc to some restore point but it wouldn’t work on my pc. The restore shuts the pc and even restarts but the message comes up saying No changes have been made to your computer. And a strange thing I noticed is that there are restore points only for the last three mont...
Ed Batista: The Dip: Seth Godin on Strategic Quitting
2008-09-25 11:47:00 Executive Coach Ed Batista gives some intereresting advice, building upon the notion of The Dip a book by Seth Godin. Specifically he talks about "strategic quitting". Most of us, my our very nature tend to quit when the going gets tough. When it becomes to painful. Or sometimes we continue to cope and "stick with it", not necessarily because it's the right think to do, but perhaps because we do not have the courage to quit. Strategic quitting is about making a conscious (not a reactive) apprach to quitting. Giving up on the wrong things and focusing on the right things.Read More...
The Best Career An Actor Has Had After Quitting Something That The Actor Sh
2008-08-16 15:49:00 Quitting, and America's love of quitters and hatred of success, is on my mind these days. We Americans have come to hate the steady worker and come to celebrate the person who abruptly decides to "follow their muse" or "grow as a person" or through some other collection of buzzwords opts to give up on a reasonable level of success and attempts to win the lottery.Note: attempts to win the lottery are celebrated. Actually winning the lottery is despised. We like people who try to win the lottery by "pursuing other creative goals" but when those people actually do win the lottery, we don't like them anymore.Nowhere is the idea of leaving something that's successful to try to be more successful more common, and more celebrated, than the world of acting. Actors (note: I'm using "actors" to mean men and women. An actor is a person who acts, just as a waiter is a person who waits and a conductor is a person who conducts. If people had asked me back in the PC days, we'd never h...

Is It Ever “Quitting Time” In Iraq?
2008-03-18 08:06:00 Republican politicians were out in full force in Iraq, obviously not to fight, but to pontificate. As they chatted with Iraq politicians about the tremendous success of the “surge” a female suicide bomber was blowing herself up and killing 39 people while wounding 54. The violence came as Vice President Dick Cheney arrived in Baghdad and just missed Senator John McCain who left after securing enough photo ops to fill several TV commercials. Prime Minister Maliki had separate talks with the two Republican leaders since McCain most probably didn’t want to be photographed alongside the intensely disliked Dick Cheney. President Al-Maliki said he discussed long term security arrangements with Cheney. McCain stressed the importance of maintaining Amereica’s comitment in iraq. “We recognize that al-Qaida is on the run, but they are not defeated. Cheney credited President Bush’s decision to dispatch more troops to Iraq for the reduction in the level of ...

Nintendo's Miyamoto: Quitting Smoking And Gambling Led Me To Wii Fit
2008-02-13 07:10:00 In a candid interview with Nintendo President Satoru Iwata, Shigeru Miyamoto talked about how his chain-smoking, pachinko-playing past led to the creation of Wii Fit.Lifting Wii Fit is actually one of the exercisesMany Nintendo fans like to put Shigeru Miyamoto on a pedestal of perfection for the monumental contributions he's made to video games over the past 20 years, but it wasn't always Easy Street for the quirky developer.In fact, during an interview with Nintendo President Satoru Iwata this week, the esteemed Miyamoto revealed he was plagued with poor eating habits, weight issues and a borderline pachinko addiction during his early years as a developer. What was bad for Miyamoto was good for gaming, however, as his subsequent desire to improve his health so many years ago led to one of the most popular peripherals in Japan: Wii Fit (one million sold in seven weeks)."I used to play pachinko many years ago, but that stopped when I started swimming.

My Eyes Are Quitting On Me.
2008-02-08 05:45:00 It was a rather interesting 8 ball match tonight. We were shooting away tonight, and I lost track of time as my eyes started bleeding from doing our taxes. We walked into the bar at 7:30, which is when the matches start. My captain about had a heart attack when we walked in, as I’m NEVER late. I got tossed up against a 4 right off the bat. I beat him 2-0. Or rather, he beat himself. First rack, he scratched on his last ball to give me ball in hand on the 8, and he gave up the rack before I could shoot. The second rack, he put the 8 in early on his second time at the table. My match was over in SEVEN MINUTES. We lost the next match, won the third, and then we put up our 3 in the fourth. They threw up a 6 and it was only then that we found out the other team was forfeiting the last match. (Forfeit. I hate that word. No matter which way you look at it, it ALWAYS looks like it’s spelled wrong!)

Quitting What's Bad
2008-01-31 08:10:00 This post is mainly about a dear friend of mine, whose age is the same as me. We entered the same high school together at Form 4 but I never ever talked to him or even get close enough to know him. He was an ex-MRSM by the way. The very reason is that, at that particular time, ex-MRSMs was a taboo word for us Govs. Until that fateful day the taboo word had changed into my miracle melody, which the wardens had decided to mix our rooms so that each room will have ex-MRSMs and Govs. At first, I was afraid of the idea of having to share rooms with ex-MRSMs. You know, their glance and stare was killing me. (Yes, I may sound stupid :P) After a while, I got close to my roommates and we become very close except that particular one. (Sorry, tak nak mention who's the person lah :P) Now back to the main person that I was talking about. Even after the mixture, I rarely spoken to him. Why I didn't speak to him at all? Simple, I've got no reason to.*Note*This next paragraph may or may not to c...
Edwards quitting presidential race as well as Rudy
2008-01-30 19:34:00 today as John Edwards quit the race (Yea!) and Rudy quit as well (meh)" href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/P-OLITICS/01/30/edwards/index.htm-l">The Presidential race got a bit more narrow on both sides of the political aisle today as John Edwards quit the race (Yea!) and Rudy quit as well (meh). Rudy has also put his endorsement behind John McCain, whom I believe has a better shot at beating a Democratic runner rather than Mitt Romney. There's just something I don't like about Mitt. Maybe it's that he look like a robot, or that he just reeks of "Washington politician", but everytime I hear McCain "getting into trouble" with the media and them trying to drum up a controversy, I fail to see what the problem is and it shows a better side of McCain to me. Plus, he's already won Florida, so you may start to see him more as a front runner. For example: Travis travis@rightwinglunatic.com http://forums.rightwinglunatic.-com |
