Lazy-ness, Extreme Lazy-ness

Am experiencing extreme laziness! Yes, I spelt it differently in the post title. Fun sake.

Anyways, half the day of what should be an extremely busy week, has been filled with extreme feel of lazy. This kind of thing happens when I know how full the days ahead of me are going to be.

Have you ever felt like you have done so much? Well, I am actually exhausted too. I started full steam and when things slow down due to external factors, I lose steam and along with it, my interest! This is on top of the fact that I have short span of attention and interest in things, if there is not enough interesting things for me to look forward to. Things are interesting as long as they stay interesting to me (duhh!) and that “as long as” part, can be quite short. One thing I know for now, I have lost interest and getting really bored. As a result, I am not focused and rather slow in completing certain task. In short, am short of saying “Naah, not interested” and yawn. This is definitely not good for work, and reputation. I had been lucky to have (ex)bosses who understood. One of my (ex)bosses told me to take 2 months off to just take a break and clear my head. One would constantly tell me to go for holidays, short ones, especially after and/or before major transactions.

I supposed that is all I need, a break. You know, I know, am not the lazy type, I just have the tendency to lose interest…

Lie by Omission

Do you know that there is such thing as “lie by omission”?

Apparently there is! I have always thought that as long as you do not tell things that are not true, you are not lying and that by keeping quiet about things that are true, does not make you a liar! I have always thought that omission will save me from having to lie. I mean, I do not lie by telling things that are not true… (often to avoid telling things am not supposed to tell and to avoid offending people’s feelings). Well, guess what, I had been wrong!

My hope is, from now onwards, when there are information I would have to omit (for reasons such as “it is not mine to tell”, etc, etc…), people will understand if I say I cannot say, instead of just the usual silence… Peace y’all. Love more. Hate less.

Silent Opinion = No Opinion

So, am in the mood to blog again… or am I in the mood to ramble useless information? Not that it matters as this is my blog (*evil grin*)

The majority. The minority. The silent majority. The undecided. Often, the views of the majority will be heard out loud. The views of the minority are ignored. Well, how do we know what views do the silent majority have? How about the undecided? Calculative-ly, if we have 100 individuals who are supposed to decide whether to say yes or no, 45 decided to say yes, 44 decided to say no, 6 silently decided yes and 5 cannot make up their minds, “yes” will “win” although “no” should win instead, but because the 6 people who decide to stay silent in relation to their decisions, their “votes” are not counted for. In fact, because they chose to stay silent, 11 are assumed to fall under the category of the “undecided”. (Oh my God, this is some serious rambling!)

I am simply trying to say, if we do not voice our opinion out, it will never be heard. It is as good as not having any opinion. Regardless of what people may think of our opinion, if we are certain about our opinion, stand by it. One reminder though, be smart when voicing out your opinion so as not to be seen arrogantly confident. People will not listen if we appear or are viewed as arrogant or brash. Also, do not force our opinion on others. There are ways to make people listen. One of it is by listening.

If only everyone learn to listen…
