要跑，就要跑十公里，跑半馬，然後全馬，那種優越感由你跑第一步開始。
他們說，人腦裏面都有個 管理員，要你乖，要你順從，要你正正常常。簡單來說，這個 管理員 是為你好的。
我們從出生開始，已經被腦袋裏這個領袖管理著。就正如科學家說，we are programmed to protect ourselves and prevent ourselves from harm，所以大部份人做什麼都以「舒適」為主。
睡不夠便起來跑步，不舒適；堅持一個未經驗證的想法，不舒適。
「錫身」和「不冒險」是大腦指令，所以，原來，你要為自己做點事，總是需要跟自己的大腦抗衡。
可能「抗衡」兩個字都不夠準確，對，應該說是 overrule 吧。要 overrule 一個天然指令，如果你有經驗便會同意，絕對費力。
Overrule 的相反是什麼？大概是 compromise 吧。
謎底解開。
平庸不是命運，而是妥協。
你可能跟我一樣，還是很平庸，但希望，在你相信的事情上，你還是在努力尋找那個不妥協的缺口。
為自己嘅信念而冒險，就算失敗，其實係一種光榮。
冇為自己嘗試過，先係最失敗。
I am thinking what is stopping me frighting for my dreams very often recently? Is it fear of failure? Fear of rejection? Now I might say it’s none of those things. It’s because I’m actually just no good at x, y, or z. I started thinking about this recently and I realised that what actually stands in the way of my goals is emotion rather than incompetence. I’ve heard people say: “I can’t get a job as a developer because I’m no good at programming.” Or people say: “I can’t start working for this company because it is too many uncertainties."
All of us at some points in our lives have bought into this way of thinking. And that’s why many of us spend our waking moments bettering ourselves. Trying to lose weight, trying to earn more certificates, trying to appear more successful. I’m not saying people should stop doing these things, but I’m asking myself to consider, what’s the percentage done out of joy and what percentage to fill a feeling of inadequacy?
I often lost & I thought it is because of my inadequacies and never feel quite ready to make an attempt at my dreams. In most cases, it’s the after-effects that we worry about. If I leave my job to start a company and it fails. How could I deal with the situation if I take up some challenging tasks but failed finally! So I don’t try until I could ensure I am overqualified. I tell myself that I have studied programming for 10 years then I can pick up a mobile app coding task. Once I have saved a thousand million dollars, then I can try to build my company.
The problem with this logic is that day rarely happens. However, there is an alternative path. The path less travelled because it’s less intuitive. I can simply become someone who can master their emotions. What if rejection didn’t hurt and failure didn’t feel so bad? I should be the person that no matter what happened, I can still feel happy and full of joy. Then maybe I would try more, dare more, experiment more. And I could tell people that I have tried & I am proud of myself whatever the outcome ^_^
