You are Orange Sheep, who is quiet sort, and is a touchable person.
But you possess feminine attraction as well.
This may seem like flirting to fellow women, and may be misunderstood by men.
You are a sociable, but tend to keep a distance from people, and will not show your real emotions and feelings easily.
Although you are modest, you are a proud person as well.
You don't apologize or yield to things.
You have great tactics to make others take in your demand, without them realizing taht they are doing so.
You are extremely good at negotiating and bargaining.
You tend to feel isolated, and in order to overcome that loneliness, you have lots of interests.
You have sharp eyes, and can make your ideals come true by effectively adopting other people's expectations.
Although you lack leadership sort of action, you have perseverance to take up any challenge.
You can also use money efficiently, and therefore you are a shrewd shopper.

The Principle of Increasing Opportunity Cost

also called "The Long-Hanging-Fruit Principle".

I was studying Economics during Gamelan practice last night and I came across this principle. Here is what it says: "In expanding the production of any good, first employ those resources with the lowest opportunity cost, and only afterward turn to resources with higher opportunity costs"

Basically the principle was saying that you should choose the easiest sources to get your hands on before switching to more difficult ones.

The book gives one analogy about a new replacement CEO who is assigned in a non-effective company. According to this principle, the CEO should first tackle the problems that are easiest to solve first and then tackle on the harder ones after. I think this makes a lot of sense though instead of tackling such miniscule problems I would tackle those of high importance which is the root of every others. But then again, I've never been a CEO so I should learn from those successful CEOs xD.
[The book states easy problems with high consequences of bringing the company to be better though].

Anyway, my point of writing this relates to the post I made before. Regarding the apple tree thingy. Such a coincidence that after I made that post I found this principle when reading my econs book. This princible of 'low-hanging-fruit' sort of broke the logical relation in the previous one.

Suppose the guys as the apple-pickers
And the girls as the apples

If we apply this principle, then logically the guys will pick those low-hanging apples (easy girls).
And anyway, the principle said that the fruit-pickers will only reach the top if he is planning to collect all the fruits.
So in conclusion.. the guys that will reach the top is a.. womanizer?

Oh man, that sounds super wrong, hahahaha

However, that makes sense, don't you think? How many top women fell for such guys? Because these guys have the gut to go after them. =P.

Yet, mankind is not a fixed subjects. There are a lot of irregularities regarding our species. Not only in our species, in everything that exists in this world, there are always outliers. Things that are different from the rest. So, there should still be guys somewhere out there who have enough guts yet not womanizers.

I really think that I learned to observe many humanity issues through what I've learned from Economics. Interesting, eh?

Girls are like apples on trees

Girls
are like
apples on trees.
The best ones are
at the top of the tree.The
boys dont want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree.

Something random I found on the internet =)
Nice, huh?

Econs application

Do you know what makes an all-rounder a bad thing?

If you are not a good enough all-rounder (and sometime good enough is not enough), you will always be at comparative disadvantage

(to be updated later)

Losing myself

I'm losing
I'm drowning
I need reassurance
Not from a biased person
Not from someone who are used to me
But from someone honest
Someone objective enough
To tell me who I am
What I am good at
What I am supposed to be

Sorry, I'm being really emotional these few days
I need something that will help me prove my worth in this strange and foreign environment, completely different with my really comfortable zone back then

anyone?

Self Discovery

I can't believe that I actually learn something during CT class today.

Here's an excerpt of what I typed in my OneNote earlier

--> Creativity is…
· Making connections/associations. ~Steve Jobs.
· Act of turning new & imaginative ideas into reality
· Requires passion and commitment
○ The more time you spend time with your interest, more the results

The third point brought me into a deep thought. What is my passion?
Looks like an easy question, huh?

But now I cannot answer it. I don't really know myself now.
A few years back.. I might know it, but I'm also not so sure.

I really really need to start again my journey to a self-discovery. >.<

Motivation

I just found one usefulness of writing a blog. It gives you motivation when you reread it. These past few days I have been feeling slack, but after reading my old posts and comments from my friends and sister, my motivation came back.

Choir practices have been hectic and I got a throat inflammation yesterday. It is still painful even now :(. But I was losing the enjoyment in going to the choir. Why? One reason I can think of is that we practiced too often already. And I'm starting to get bored of it. Also, yesterday's practice was quite the critique to Alto. I really need to learn to accept being criticized. =S.

Sigh...

But anyway, I read my old posts and I realize that life is not easy. It is not easy at all. So I guess I just need to cope with it and try to perfect my imperfect aspects.
