Saw this in TIME magz..
Madela believed that embracing his rival was a way of controlling them: they were more dangerous on their own than within his circle of influence. He cherished loyalty, but he was never obsessed by it. After all, he used to say. "people act on their own interest." It was simply a fact of human nature, not a flaw or defect. The flip side of being an optimist - and he is one - is trusting people too much. But Madela recognized that the way to deal with those who he didn't trust was to neutralize them with his charm.
And also there's this article from Sunday Times
]Does it matter what others think of you
s..It does hurt when you realise someone doesn't like you, but should it really matter? Should you care what others think of you?
I suppose you should in a work situation where the reason you're there is to get things done, and it's hard to do so without teamwork.
.. .. ..
But outside of work, I frankly couldn't care less.
I start from the belief that I should be nice to everyone. But if it is not reciprocated or if I can't connect with the other person even if there are no bad vibes between us, so be it. I'll move on and not look back.
I can't control how others think or act. What I can control is how I think and behave, and to me, life is too short to be marred by unpleasantness.
We can't be indifferent to human interaction, but to keep sane, I want to surround my self - yes, all 360 degrees - with those I can click with, and keep those I can't at bay.
How true.. But I really doubt if she can really do that. One will generally succumb to influences around him, isn't it?Enough of such stuff.
My EoM's GG. I have no idea what kind of articles to find =X
I'm behind schedule, and alot of things are piling in front of the schedule I'm trying to keep up with. Grr..
Went KK Hospital to visit my cousin who had operation to remove some blood clot thingy from her stomach. 10cm long can! Thn I realised my other cousin had two similar operations since she was 14. If it runs in the family blood, I'm so.. dead. =/
Came home with a throbbing headache.
Told my mum and she said, "Maybe you slept too little.."
Replied "Eh, I slept @ 1.30am and woke @ 10am leh.."
So she said, "Maybe you slept too much.."
LOL fine
lorrrr..

等你等到我心痛
等你等到没有梦
所有感觉已成空
就让一切都随风
等你等到我心痛
我的心情谁会懂
所有真情的感动
已消失无影踪
爱你爱你始终
恨你恨你不懂
我付出的情有多深重
反反复复的爱不能相拥
爱你爱你始终
恨你恨你不懂
我真的等你等到心痛
平平淡淡的爱怎能相容
