One thing I have learned is that the body follows the mind. If you take your mind into deep dark alleys of negativity, you will find that your body succumbs to the traps of food marketing easier. You will find that your willpower is depleted, exercise happens less often, and over-eating happens quite frequently. Ultimately, […]
As a trained scientist, I learned that theories and hypothesis are not absolute. We find this element in our daily lives, our conversations, and even our politics. Einstein explained this by saying its all relative. Here’s a quick example: If I’m in a car going 100 km per hour, from my front seat, the water […]
I keep a lot of information in my head. Rarely, yet it happens, I forget basic items like, where did I put my wallet. When I do forget where I put my wallet or keys, I try to remember the last time I saw them. I re-trace my steps. I keep walking backwards until I […]

In this post, I’ll write my Recipe for Recovery and how I am recovering from my groin injury. Rest and Relaxation Well, For the first few […]
Beware: Bad habits come out in droves! Over the past few months I have: Failed to stretch regularly (I used to do it 6 times a week.) Deliberately not counted calories nor watched what I ate. Increased my expenses while decreasing my income and increase my work. Increased my TV viewing habits. Increased my Internet […]
For the first time in 6 weeks, I set my alarm to wake up this morning. I’ve been fortunate enough that kids, wife, or nature will wake me up in time to be productive for the day. However, I noticed that my son is arriving to school a little later each day. I don’t like […]
It took me a long time to learn the lesson. Too Long if you ask me. From grammar school to high school, I was an excellent student. I almost always did my homework. I rarely missed a day. I wasn’t perfect, but I tried my best. I was very close to perfect. I had no […]
