dreamer101,
why do you study engineering at the very first place? you have already know what you good at before you choose engineering or after you choose? sorry for my grammar if i wrote anything wrong. thank you. |

dreamer101,
if I say I want to be someone like you, is that a wrong ( question )? I found myself very hard to have the level of discipline that you have. ( especially during your college's time ) Is it because I lack of motivation? how to discipline myself to be very focus on what am I doing? ( especially in my studies ) and also how to trained myself to be less emotional? thank you. |

Dreamer101,
Sorry for taking me a long time to say thank you to you. Thanks for your teaching. You're right about it. I have no vision. I don't know what I want or what I want to do in my life. My life is a mess. I have failed to live my own life. I find it very hard to get back up, or maybe I'm just giving myself excuse not to get back up. I'm no longer what I was like last time. And the 'me' right now is a failed person. I know it takes many small steps to get back up. But without goal and therefore lack of motivation, it's hard to follow these small steps or conquer the small difficulties. You're right. Everybody know what is wrong with them. And they know the solution to their problem. They just cannot do it. In my case, I think it's already very painful, but yet I chose to ignore it. I don't think it will come to a level that it's extremely painful, because if I keep ignoring it, and at the end I will become a below average people. I know I needed a change. But how to change completely, so that I won't repeat the same mistakes. Because the second time I make it, it's not a mistake, it's a choice. What I got today is what I deserved. Sorry for my long story and poor english. Thanks again. |

QUOTE(dreamer101 @ Feb 14 2012, 08:48 PM) arielyek, dreamer101,Life is full of peak and valley. It does not go in a straight line. When you climbed a NEW peak, you have to fall to a new valley before you can go a higher peak. You spend too much time and energy looking at the past. Hence, you have NO TIME and ENERGY to go forward. You KNOW this. But, you are COMFORTABLE with your failure. Hence, you keep on WHINING instead of DOING. I cannot help you. You have to help yourself by DOING. Start by doing one little thing at a time. Celebrate that. Then, you will be TOO BUSY to WHINE. Dreamer  I guess my only choice is to climb to a new peak since I'm already in a valley. I'll start moving forward and stop looking at the past because what is past is past. I'm going to study chemical engineering (degree) this year although my A-lvl results is very bad. What shall I do at the start of my engineering journey so that I'm better and well-prepared before I graduate as an engineer? I don't want to be a fresh graduate with no experience and average or below average capability. I want to increase my capability like what you did, and prepare myself years before I become an engineer. I hope you can guide me because you are way more experience and a good example for me to learn from. Thanks dreamer101, I appreciate your help. |

QUOTE(debbieyss @ Feb 14 2012, 09:57 PM) Apparently arielyek is replying in a sarcastic manner but, well, apparently dreamer couldn't read body language. I have seen many engineers good in reading people's mind though. debbieyss,I'm not replying in a sarcastic manner, but asking in a sincere manner. dreamer101 has rights to choose to help me or not, and he chose to help me, that's why I'm really appreciate what he said. dreamer101 is actually helping a lot of peoples in this forum. Open up your mind and you'll find his teaching/advice is very useful. I'm not here to start an argument, it's just my opinion. Sorry if you feel offended and for my poor English. Everyone's thought is different. Cheers. Added on February 15, 2012, 8:52 am QUOTE(Joey Christensen @ Feb 14 2012, 11:11 PM) What shall you do at the start of your engineering journey? One word: Do. Joey Christensen, Regards, Joey I know is do. There are many ways to reach your goal, but some ways are much more better than the other. Some of the better ways are not yet discovered by us simply due to not enough experience. For example, I want to be an excellent or above average engineer. The second question I shall ask myself is how. dreamer101 know how because he has been through this process. That's why his guidance and teaching are very valuable to me. This is what I think. Thanks.  Added on February 15, 2012, 9:05 am QUOTE(dreamer101 @ Feb 14 2012, 11:37 PM) arielyek, dreamer101,Keep a journal. Spend 5 minutes to write an entry per day... Write down what you DID for yourself. What you could done BETTER. What you LEARN. What you IMPROVE?? Journey of thousand miles started with one step at a time. Dreamer Added on February 15, 2012, 12:44 am arielyek, Something that I wrote before.... "Winner never lose, loser never win" There is a difference between winner and loser. It is called the winning attitude. For a winner, they cherish and celebrate failure. To them, it simply mean that they learn something new about themselves. It is something to grow on. So, there is NO SUCH THING as failure to winners. It is learning experience to them. So, for those kind of people, how could they LOSE?? You could beat them down 99 times but they will keep coming up. And, they keep growing stronger and better. Life is marathon. It is what you DO everyday and how do you CHOOSE to face your challenge that determine how far you can go. This is one of the NICE features about IT / Datacom / Telecom world. You could learn the most by failing regularly. The GREATEST inhibitor of learning for a technical person is their EGO. When they can longer say "I DO NOT KNOW" that is when they stop learning. I am grateful that I am in such a challenging and complex environment that I failed regularly even with my 24 years of experience. This is TOO MUCH FUN. Why do children spend so much time playing and learning game?? Why it is so much fun to them even though they failed regularly in the game?? Why can't we provide the same kind of fun and learning experience environment to others?? After all, life is just a game. Dreamer I'll start writing journal and let it become a habit. I read it before, about what you wrote. I'll try to have that kind of attitude to face my challenge . There is so much to learn from you. Thanks.
