    I really, really like how you put it this way, very realistic way of dealing with emotions. I will learn how to feel my negative feelings and use forward action instead of self pity to drive it away.

    Thanks, I like how you didn't completely tell me to kill the urge, but to learn to digest it quick and put in forward motion to dismiss it.

    While my current job doesn't gets paid as much as yours, but I can honestly say this has been a dream job for anyone in my shoes.

    Thank you, really, what kills me is not this direct comparison between me and this person, but really is when I see I achieved some of what this person had done, and knowing that I could do it, but couldn't do it consistently is what kills me. It's like knowing myself that I am leaving money on...

    T Thanks, I started not to eat to my fullest my stomach can handle already, tired of surrendering to my comforts and forget about who I really want to become. Starting from small things will help a lot. Consistency is definitely a killer but an absolute requirement.

    Thank you for your reply. I did read about Dweck's book, and I found it fascinating. I need to be more aware of what my fixed mindsets are, and turning them into the growth mindset. Thank you for telling me how you felt when you see that person that completely shatters your world view. It is...

    New Chinese Tariffs -- It finally happened.

    SOURCING 
    Have you check out what is actually in the tariffs? It seems like they are protecting the advanced industries that China is trying to upgrade itself on, so unless some of you are in those advanced industries, probably won't have that much of an effect. I am talking about high level engineering...
