Key Steps to Live In The Moment (one of my biggest weakness: always mind wandering, and with hand-tail; Importance: for effective study & all kinds of learning, effective living & KO tasks [parallel mindset seem to save time but actually will only decrease the effectiveness & quality of work], working as effective & safe doctor)
– Daily Practice (Good habits):
====> Daily meditation to train easy focus
====> Wake up early to start the day calm and peaceful and with wisdom
– Avoid playing too much video/mobile games –> they will draw the soul out
– Mindset approach:
====> 個人要”在” (soul settled within)
====> Whenever transition from dealing with one to another stuff esp. when with unsettled mind, always give 3 sec of deep breathing to clear the head first to regain a peace of mind
====> Only when in peaceful mind then can do reflection (otherwise not only useless but also harmful!)
- Upon interaction with others, just be my true self (genuine person is more attractive and easier to make friends + I am proud to be myself, no need to do anything to impress / attract others; I myself am a person who loves to be tiu pei and make fun out of life, so that’s why I make gags but not to impress anyone, so when I don’t feel like it, then no need force myself to do so)
5 Key Steps to Succeed in every matter
Drive –> 目標 –> 系統 –> 毅力 –> & Keep the Thirst (——“Think Grow Prosper”)
— Even as broad as a 成功人生also based on these steps; Drive is based on 價值觀, goals are our life goals and year plan etc, system is our good habits
Ask my heart: What I truly love myself to do? What will make me truly happy if I do?
— Good habits is the framework/system, but in real life there are lots of variations and decisions to make, all answers based on asking myself this question (as this Q will remind myself of all knowledge and wisdom I have)
Always 三思而後行: Compulsorily give myself 3 seconds of emptiness to cool down and regain calmness when I am in any kinds of out-of-mind (when handle next patient after irritated by previous one; when indulged in games; when heated talk)
— after regain calmness and get back my head, ask myself the above question
Reflection has to be made in a calm and clear minded state otherwise will just swirl into a viscious cycle of self demanding and self blaming and misdirect myself and fallen as just a tool to resolve the tension upon failure rather than really solving a problem; when empty minded, suggests probably the reflection is unnecessary, just move on!
我已得到我所需要的根基去追尋自己理想的做人模式, 不再求外而是求內,求內才是我自己控制得到的,亦能獲得最大的滿足。滿足來自於成為自己想做的人,而非要塑造一個非我的形象。
Do this by when the challenge moment comes, respond to it and ACT WHAT I TRULY LOVE MYSELF TO ACT. Even for girls, i already got what i need and wish, so all the others are at most a fulfilling end for me to be the person i want to be (for them to be true friends, soulmates, work partners, helpful finance advisors etc)
對身邊的事物保持好奇
一有機會就想學習更多,包括渴望對人體了解更多(medicine)
畢菲特:”時刻保持頭腦清醒”,以高度開放的心態看待一切,甚至需要時脫離常軌跳出框框
Always 想通undersand the rationale behind things, dig deeper if dont understand (when learning on one thing, to research and evidence based studying is needed and most efficient than blank thinking —— act like lester in study! When practice, can apply imagination and thinking; 學習= 先學而後習; may seem time consuming at first but once get through the stricture point will go super fast + able to enhance the knowledge/memory/analytic skills on that matter (no matter it is studies or finance or anything that I learn)
Do NOT be a perfectionist
Perfectionism is an attitude, an aim of reaching the peak of the mountain and a belief that by doing so we can stand tall and stay there happily ever since with respect & admiration from all the others. But the truth is, even if we reached the peak, we are at the greatest level of instability and soon we would fall all the way down and have to chase after the peak again wearily. Worse still, the peak actually never exists, as we would always push ourselves for more, aiming at an even more impossible peak after achieving one, until the breakdown comes and tear us apart internally. So it will be all wrong if we put our aim at it. Perfection is also an anthesis of authenticity. As we reach the peak (perfect), we are no longer being ourselves. So instead, we shall acknowledge & appreciate the height we have attained; and while trying to be a better self, we are enjoying the happiness of improvement and enjoying the progress of growth, without the aim of being a perfect one; after all, being better is where all the fun is!
Being cautious ≠ being not assertive
Cautious = consider all important factors and make sure collect all important info; Not assertive = already collect and consider all important info, and know banes > boons but still indecisive cuz dwell onto the losses
Dont force an emotion, accept the emotion
- Force emotion examples: imagining and creating pressure to try force myself work even harder (try to think instead of using the emotional side); force myself to feel happy when actually Im down
- Driving myself too hard is not going to bring the better self, the best self is when im trying but not too hard —— keep that composure and capacity of emptiness of mind and will be able to think brighter and deeper, make better decisions
The easy answer quite often not the true answer
- NEVER pa ma farn!!
- Reflects frm: mum mental state alarm at presentation; blaming myself not working hard enough when im actually having insufficient rest or other underlying causes
—— keep a clear mind avoiding rubbish in mind to interfere thinking (reduce rubbish inside mind frm build up by not forcing myself anything, to follow my true heart, slow down the pace when not working not to rush; to clear rubbish by daily meditation)

忠於自己
FOLLOW MY HEART AND SEEK THE TRUE HAPPINNESS
完善自己,非完美他人眼中的自己
人活着是為了做自己,而不是解釋自己
- Dont have a mindset of always needa serve others; rather, important to serve oneself and love myself
不懂休息就不懂工作
Love urself from minor things 從微小的細節照顧好自己,不要委屈自己 (esp those 實際stuff that makes zi gei shu fuk eg food soup bed stuff seat etc)
- Dont 委屈自己遷就人哋, that will give ourselves too much burden and negativity and take away too much 福氣
多一點貪婪去勇於積極追求自己想要的生活,就能克服懶惰心態 (besides, 羅斯福夫人曾說:做你心裏認為正確的事,因為不管怎麼做總會遭到批評)
Sik yeh yiu enjoy the moment dont rush take the time to rest and think; no matter how busy we are
- Mm ho let others thoughts affect u, always keep an him bei geh sum but not servants geh sum —— never feel like we have to put others in front of my own interests; if others give gifts and I reject for once but fail, then gladly accept it mm ho gok duc mm ho yee shi!! Yiu yau guut hei and yiu yau gor 勢!!! Mm ho gok duc owe zhor yun gum, dui zi gei yau zi shun!!
不論在愛情,友情還是社交人情,關鍵是要做到不追不求。若果我們“求”,我們會自貶身價,對方就會覺得追求者不值得,更降低了吸引力。若果我們“追”,只會落得三種不理想的下場:A)躲更遠(e.g.若果是有良心的女仔就會嚇怕了) B)工具人 (e.g.若果是貪心的女仔就會收你兵)C)不確定的交往 (e.g. 你識女仔雖然不貪心但假意接受了純粹是因為不好意思但這種連結並不長久並沒有solid foundation) 。所以委屈自己遷就他人,迎合他人的想法和價值觀,做冇所謂先生等等,其實就是犯了“追求”的錯誤。追求正正是把人推開的相處方式,亦是阻止了同道中人,志同道合的人靠近。
建立任可穩固關係的最佳方法有三部曲:
- 1) 建立自己的品牌價值: 不追不求,建立自身的品牌,自自然然就會吸引同一價值,同一想法的人。這樣建立的關係正正才是最穩固的,最深厚的;亦不用時時刻刻想着怎麼去維持彼此,亦不用介意被他人搶了你的位置,因為你有了自己的價值,別人是給你吸引的。
- 2)傳遞: 要把自己的想法,價值觀,興趣傳遞出來,別人才會知道;跟你相同想法的人才會辨識到你,才會靠近到你。所以不追不求並非不主動,而是主動確立自己的價值,主動宣揚自己的價值。並非主動迎合他人,亦非被動的待人處事。
- 3)創造連結:如要能夠做到傳遞自己的信息,就必先創造與他人的連結。就正如要追一個現在對你沒興趣的女生,確立自己的價值和傳遞信息都需要時間,所以同時間很重要的事就是保持於這個女生一定的連結,讓她他朝能了解到你的價值。建立友情亦如是,日日閉關在家的話怎樣確立價值怎樣傳遞出去都無他人接受得到
To seize any chances / luck:
1) Be open-minded to explore any possible opportunities in every day life, chances might not be as apparent and we have to discover ourselves through observant and creative mind
2) While await for chances, be prepared (make more friends to plant more eyes, Studies, Hard work etc.)
3) When spot a chance, ready to make temporary sacrifices for long-term good; don’t pa ma farn and be assertive act immediately!!!

不用工作時放慢腳步留意身邊細節,多發掘,多思考研究,就能explore the world
- Ying zhen tou yup every moment put heart into it, including enjoying life, so when rest, SLOW DOWN and observe life details, finding joys and enlightenment from life; and really enjoying it meaning that no care on external thoughts and no more distraction by worries from work; and when true fong song and enjoy life matters jau neng gou keep a calm mind, thus can observe well and plan slightly ahead well; so relaxing and enjoying is not a contradiction to being observant and smart (true relaxation is not just about meditation and empty minded, but also focusing on the beauties of life ie life details around us; this is also how we find joy in life amid inevitable increasing responsibility and work as we grow up) but rather a cornerstone / pave the way for it
—> Think duc ho fai no use, in the long run tai yeh yau depth zhui gen yiu (and that needs a calm mind)
— fong hong sai and empty minded only for during meditation, which is necessary but only at a particular time point in the day (during the meditation practice)
- Ping zhing observe the scenario; be observant, 一眼關七 eg fifth uncle car driving notice car in front driver may be playing phone/ notice the construction machine on the side and be extra cautious; eg fifth uncle notice the exit of hotel first once enter
- Just like jewish, always think and challenge, always ask q, creative and rational thinking is more important than recalling knowledge
- Always think and analysis on yourself and not completely trusting others, make own observations and judgement; never 人云亦云 (eg locating the parking lot ticket machine)
- Think more and analyse more yourself; dont trust completely wt u are told and wt u see
- 思考所閱讀,所學的一切,要將其昇華至通透參透背後箇中道理 (有空閑時就多思考 eg during travelling)

- Friend zhui gen yiu zhen sum shu fuk (really put heart into enjoying friendship)
- Tarn bak communicate, no need false agree, just give response out of true heart, if disagree then just express it, ding dor use a prettier way to express (Put heart into enjoying relationship so use zhui shu fuk geh method to communicate which is be true to oneself)
- Focus on put heart into the aspects that matter and others viewpoint is not any one of them

- To encourage confidence of others: catch them when they do good! Encourage when they do well rather than criticize when they perform badly on the same thing (Can through praising another person on what they do good to indirectly express your opinions when the target audience there too and hear)
[Fifth Uncle]
To gain confidence in order to be calm and hence able to be observant and forsee ahead, we have to learn everything but never addict to anything
Also for our own interests to explore the world; not for biu meen but for really put our hearts into it 去感受
[Fifth Uncle]
眼光要高要闊,跳出框框思考
- 不要說我不能做到這個,要問自己我怎樣才能做到這個。創造一種更強而有力的思想和更有活力的精神。因為只要思想夠強大,人沒有做不到的事情
[Fifth Uncle]
諗同做多一兩步
- Always think ahead, and act first; mm pa sit dai; Be anticipatory, alwys plan and do slightly advance (but just slightly ie like one step ahead, cuz planning too many steps ahead will on the contrary make us too 勞心勞力and hence yau less 福氣
