RESPONSE & STIMULUS

Sometimes its easy to understand why people of the olden days formulate the saying: " jing4 zhu1 zhe3 chi4, jing4 mo4zhe3 hei1".

I guess its part of natural reponse of humans to certain behaviours. Once, i learnt somewhere that habits are formed from prolonged exposure to a stimulus. When you were young, you performed an action. You get rewarded by your parents. You continue to do and get more rewards. That s how learning begins and occurs at the same time. Through time, the repsonse to the stimulus becomes innate and conditioned. And so, when u spend much time with certain people, you start to learn and unlearn some reponses u had. For example( discussed with des):

If you want to feel motivated, talk to desmond! From chatting with him, the aura of motivation and unstoppable passion and drive for doing things gets translated and diffused into you.

If you are over-run/tired/ feels like escaping or cant understand why some people are smarter than others. try talking to weiqi or kel, for the same matter. Since eocc, they are the ones who made me feel that even the worst catastrophe feels like a breeze in front of them. I could put it bluntly as indifference in a positive manner. Its not bo chup but its kinda nothing in the world is too big or too serious.

If you want a good listening ear, try jesper. This guy cant stop laughing and his laughter is really contagious, trust me.

Of cos, since i was with dear, i started to unlearn many undesirable habits i had in the past. To think i thot i was hygenic. I was god damn wrong. Haha. I need not elaborate cos you might be chuckling to yourself right now. But i gotta say thank you. My steep learning curve started from you.And i guess i will keep learning and hope i get rewarded k.haha
