Maturity

 ..." the true mark of maturity is when somebody hurts you and you try to understand their situation instead of trying to hurt them back..."

KISS

KISS ...

I am rereading this book again after reading the & book of wisdom
..and I am seeing things in  a different perspective now.

The KISS book is about getting rich via investment or via trading.
There is nothing wrong with that ... it is just i am viewing from a different perspective.

The 80/20 pareto optimality : 20% owns 80% o fthe wealth..
Well maybe the 80% are happy to just own 20% of the wealth?
The U curve in the book David and Goliath?

Now I understand more why people in Bhutan have the highest Happiness Index despite NOT HAVING material wealth.

There is nothing wrong of being rich AND being happy.
Just be aware by being too rich sometimes has its cost.

You can be SUFFICIENT and happy.
You can be poor and happy.
Just like , you can be rich and happy.

Just... be aware that no matter what material conditions you have, you can choose to be happy!

Just like how the Hong Kong people like to say, " chiu kan you hai you HOI SUM !

David and Goliath

Wow...!




(1) You need to things differently sometimes
      Goliath was a giant, he had acromegaly ( tumour in the pituitary glands ...growth hormones!)
      He could not see David ( ) and he was expecting hand to hand combat.
      David used speed and surprise for strength. Just like Lawrence of  Arabia

(2) Effort over Ability

(3) U curve . 75,000 per year is just about nice.

(4) relative deprivation. Big fish in a small pond is better than small fish in a big pond

How to Control Mind and be Stress Free

I read a few Indian writers and found that they are very philosophical in their view.






Here is an example by K K Gupta
================================
(1) MIND
      Conscious  ( boatman on top of the lake )
      Subconscious   ( colour of the lake )
      Super Conscious ( the bottom of the lake )
     Train the conscious mind to go to superconscious without being coloured by the biases , emotions and feelings of the subconscious.  Be aware that the subconscious can be stronger and can influence the conscious , hence training is required for the conscious to control the subconscious.

There are 3 methods for Mind control
(i) Physical methods : yoga and breathing : focus and slowing the mind, and drawing inside.
(ii) Mental : concentration, detachment, planned thinking, positive thinking( attitude), control over impulses
(iii) Spiritual : meditation, remembrance of God, unselfish actions
==================================
(2) THOUGHTS
  (i) Have vibrations
(ii) different from physical vibrations
(iii) power of materialisation
(iv) hits the persons ( telepathy, transference )
(v) independent of time and space
(vi ) constantly modifying the subconscious mind
(vii) karma linked
(viii) cannot be hidden
(ix) strong mind is immune to negative thought
(x) thought attract like thought
(xi) negative thought weaken the mind
(xii) positive thinking creates positive aura
(xiii) thought creates thought forms
(xiv) thought induce similarthoughts in others
(xv) negative thoughts produce stress, positive thought produce  relaxation

I think therefore I am.
What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.
Fake it till you get it ( subconsciously)

MODIFY THOUGHT PROCESS
(i) Avoid random thinking
(ii) Be positive at all times
(iii) Reduce emotional elements in your thoughts
(iv) be consistent in thoughts , words, and deeds
(v) Conscious relaxation
(vi) Yoga and meditation

=====================================

(3) STRESS
 
How stress is triggered and ways to overcome them

stressors : fight ot flight
     red alert
     hypothalamus---. pituitary gland---> ACTH hormone----> adrenal glands---> cortisol--->liver
    Liver---> glycogen --> blood sugar---> energy
    Breathing increases
    Adrenalin is released---> surge of energy
    Heartbeat increase---> higher blood circulation
   Blood vessels dilated, blood pressure increases
  Sweating increase
  Muscle tightness, tension ---> ready for action
Digestion shut down---> blood flows from stomach to muscles
Dilation of pupils --> more light into the eye
Mouth dries up---> salivary glands dries up
Rectum and bladder muscles relaxes : sometimes urge to urinate
Shaking of limbs
Cracking of voice
Blood is diverted from skin ---> feeling of coldness
Immune system becomes weak.

All bodily changes to meet impending challenge
Long term stress will bring damage to the body

Too much stress : stress addiction
Too little stress : inaction

Causes of stress
(i) Mental
(ii) Environmental
(iii) Physical : faulty diet, faulty breathing, faulty postures
(iv)  Disease
(v) Excessive talking
(vi) Overexertion

Stress relievers
(i) Meditation
(ii) Stretching exercise
(iii) Aerobic exercise
(iv) Massage
(v) Acupressure
(vi) Water relaxation
(vii) Yoga and breathing

(viii) Laughter
(ix) Diet
(x) Dancing
(xi) Rocking
(xii) Music
(xiii) Nature




====================================
(4)  LIFE

 (i) Duality of Life : pain and pleasure, risk and reward
(ii) Destiny ( prarabdha), Fate ( Daiva) and Self effort( purushartha) : cow on a peg
      Destiny is not something rigid. Destiny can never be greater than free will because it itself is the creature of free will exercised by you in the past
 (iii) Happiness
(iv) problems : how to solve them
(v) Working well : attention and awareness, detachment, non doership, non expectation of fruits
