In my opinion, the reason of why it happens was because I find it is hard to do something without having any excitement that happen in the future. For instance, I was unable to wake up at 6.30~7am+ after I had finished my English course as I ended up awaken around 9am+ most of my time. However, it would be different if there is trip or something important to do that would eventually wake me up just like the moment when I was working in the company. Perhaps the truth is actually due to my "lazyness" or the so call procrastination attitude when I kept thought that there will be another day to do so.
Anyway, I agree that we should be the Master of our time by managing our schedule well. This can be done when you keep think about the consequences behind it just like when you did not turn up for an exam, you will eventually fail your examination. Another example that based on my opinion is to write down the time that you want to do something and punish yourself if you couldn't manage to do it. Furthermore, people will only respect you if you respect the people who find time for you in their busy schedules. Basically this post seems to be meaningless to advice others people to respect time if I didn't respect the time for myself.
During the night, I was having a great conversation and gain a lot of inspiration from her sharing when I try to summary the Icarus Deception book. On the other hand, it is true that I didn't research much about how other company can be so successful without having real evidence to back up my finding. Today I just managed toread, speak and listen because I felt lazy to write things. Before I end my post, I would like to share an interesting video about "It Is Always Now" by Sam Harris together with it's transcript as shown below or the link >>> Here.

It is always now. I actually want to talk today about death. Now most of us do our best to not to think about death, but there's always part of our minds that knows, this cant go on forever. Part of us always knows they were just a doctor's visit away or a phone call away from being starkly reminded, with the fact of our own mortality, or of those closest to us. Now I'm sure many of you in this room have experienced this in some form. You must know how uncanny it is to suddenly be thrown out of the normal course of your life and just be given the full time job of not dying, or caring for someone who is.
But the one thing people tend to realize, at moments like this, is that they wasted a lot of time when life was normal. And it's not just what they, it's not just what they did with their time, it's not just that they spent too much time working or or compulsively checking email. It's that they cared about the wrong things. They regret what they cared about .Their attention was bound up in petty concerns that year after year
when life was normal. And this is a paradox of course because we all know this epiphany is coming.
I mean, don't you know this is coming? Don't you know there's going to come a day when you'll be sick or someone close to you will die. And you'll look back at the kinds of things that captured your attention .And you'll think, "what, what was I doing?" You know this, and yet if you're like most people, you'll spend most of your time in life tacitly presuming you'll live forever. It's like watching a bad movie for the fourth time
or bickering with your spouse. I mean this, these things only makes sense in light of eternity. There better be a heaven if we're gonna waste our time like that. There are ways to really live in the present moment.
What what's the alternative? It is always now. However much you feel you may need to plan for the future
to anticipate it, to mitigate the risks, the reality of your life is now. This may sound trite, but it's the truth. It's not quite true as a matter of physics, in fact there is no now. That encompasses the entire universe you can't talk about an event being simultaneously, occurring here and one at the same moment occurring in Andromeda .The truth is, now is not even well-defined as a matter of neurology because we know that inputs to the brain come at different moments, and that consciousness is built upon layers of inputs whose timing to have to be different.
Conscious awareness of the present moment is in some relevant sense already a memory . But as a matter of conscious experience, the reality of your life is always now. And I think this is a liberating truth about the nature of the human mind. In fact, i think there's probably nothing more important to understand about your mind than that if you want to be happy in this world. But the past is a memory, it's a thought arising in the present. The future is merely anticipated, it is another thought arising now. What we truly have is this moment, and this,and we spend most of our lives forgetting this truth. Repudiating it, fleeing it, overlooking it, and the horror is that we succeed. We we've managed to never really connect with the present moment and find fulfillment there because we are continually hoping to become happy in the future.
And the future never arrives even when we think we're in the present moment we're. We're in very subtle ways, always looking over its shoulder, anticipating what's coming next. We're always solving a problem and it's possible to simply drop your problem if only for a moment, and enjoy whatever is true of your life in the present. This is not a matter of new information or more information, it requires a change in attitude. It requires a change in the attentiveness you pay to your experience in the present moment.
