Furthermore, it was true that everything you perceive about your career, your love life, your family and friends, is not necessarily reality, it's merely your perception of reality. Problems arise when we assume that the "reality" we perceive is the reality. We invented it. We constructed it out of bits and pieces. We made it out of our mental models and then lived by their dictates. And having done all this, we proceeded to carry on with our lives without ever realizing that our mental models were made up merely of perceptions, not facts.
Basically this book focus on drawing a canvas, reflect, revise and act upon it as shown below.
Somehow I do get some insight about creating value preposition to people by solving other "human problem." For example, I could create a website that can help "lonely" people to get out from loneliness feeling. It could be like a dating website although there is so much successful similar website idea available such as the "Wechat or Paktoh" apps. Anyway, what really drive a website to become successful was actually the passion behind. For instance, could you have the initiative/passion to wake up early in the morning and can't wait to start your work.
On the other hand, do you agree that everything great that happens in your career always starts with someone you know. You don't need to surf the net. Your next big break will not come from some mysterious technology, or discovery of new information. Your next big break will come from someone you know. So it is important to know more people as it is related to something like networking or finding a mentor to guide you. Honestly, I do feel that maybe I change my blog as a "book review blog" to create value for others people by inspiring them instead of talking my own personal problem.
It is because the secret to success might be the more you help other people solving their problem, you will gain more benefit to yourself in the end. At night, I do have a great conversation with my cousin by explaining the business model book that I had read. She told me that it is important to differentiate between "important task and urgent task." For example, going back to Malaysia to find a job is not an urgent task but improving my personal self development is an important task. Anyway, the way to overcome my own personal fear is by keep practicing.
For now, I could have a good reason to start a conversation by asking anyone with "I'm trying to improve my English, would you help me by having a little conversation?" Apparently, I should be more confidence by now as I shouldn't let people who does care for me influence my choice. Perhaps I had ignored the person that truly treated me well and pay attention on the wrong person. In conclusion, nobody has the right answer to happiness because the only person that can make you happy in yourself. Therefore I shouldn't have so much nonsense thought going on in my mind. At last, I hope I would enjoy myself to the maximum for the Oxford day trip. Happy life, here I come!
