This new post is nothing really new. But it makes things a lot neater, and it is a follow up on the progress of the 7 stakes.
Future Stakes and Steps
## I cannot believe how much time has passed since I set up these goals. Now I shall observe and reflect on them.
1. Investment
- As said, I plan to see what index investing has, and hopefully with that little understanding, join the investment game.
## This never happened =D
2. FYP finale
Slow is the movement. My partner has taken upon himself to do the programming part. I shall focus on hardware then, specifically the energy monitoring device. At least there's a direction. There are more cons though, such as the pace at which we're moving.
## This was a failure. Whatever effort done at this stage was blown up (literally). It was a tough and stressful period. But you know what, there was divine intervention. That was the only way that could have turned this project into a success.
3. Tough professor
He's actually quite interesting. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I say the truth and nothing but the truth.
## After all those scary stories. He actually supported us in our fyp presentation. I actually scored pretty high in his subject. All is well. All is well.
4. Internship
Intel is not looking like an option. At least not as certain. Company not hunting me anymore. It's not like I'm going to whine about how it's all JPA's fault and my dreams are shattered and what not (had gleefully wanted to work at Nasa anyway ^^). I'm keeping other options open. I just need a job for three months. If I'm actually of any good success will chase after me and not the other way. Besides, God has it all figured out. I just have to prepare myself.
## And how did I end up enjoying the company's atmosphere everyday as I'm writing this? God is amazing? Can I say that again?
5. Quiet time and alone time
Why is this failing? I think it's because of irresponsibility. This doesn't seem as serious to me as it really is because it is not tangible.
## I shall have to ask that question again.
6. Being worthy. Being thankful.
So the 6th's stake is modified. I think that these two are like Messi and Xavi =D. It will be what I meditate upon for three months, starting from now. Every day, every hour, every second.
To think about it, I am doing a great injustice of not being thankful enough. What are the things that make it extremely hard to be thankful? Mostly notably relationship scars (for those my age). "Oh, I have these scars and I'll never learn to love again." Why? Girl is too materialistic. Guy cheats. Or, broken families. Divorces. Major disagreements between family members. Deaths. Recently, a very good friend of mine lost a father. Or, it can be just the same old drama queen who frets on stage about how life is and that no one is perfect for him or her, and he or she is sooo perfect oh yeahh (but then again I don't think this last part is in the script; my bad).
And I've discovered that I've got none of those. None. I'm fortunate to be from a good, stable family that is grounded more or less, never mind the obsession with certain things. I've got an extraordinary gf who puts up with lots of my nonsense and knows how to douse fire with water. I've got most of the wants in life, never mind the needs. That includes a Bayern München jersey!
I'm not worthy of all these. I shall now try to live up to them.
## This is positive. I am thankful. But guilt comes with it. God is doing all the heavy duty scenes in my life alone. I'm just a spectator. This cannot go on; I must honour my part.
7. Follow up.
Just to reflect on how weak this area is.
1. Braces. # Gone case
2. Piano. # Gone case. But it seems I am destined to play piano for church. God has chosen the weakest gift I have to glorify Him. As I may not boast of it.
3. Chores. # No comment
4. 8-10 Books lying around. # Developed a bit more discipline to read them.
5. Scouts # Gone case
6. Badminton # Gone case
7. Vedic math # Gone case
8. Choir # This was successful for a while, and the lesson bore fruit, unlike piano
9.FYP research # Major success
This is a weakness that has to be overcome little by little, day by day.
