Been wondering...

Been wondering recently...

Every driver friend or acquaintance whom I've talked to shares the same sentiments that Singaporean drivers are the most impatient driver in the world.

1) Quick to Flash, sometimes extremely long ones like they are going to melt your car with the high beam.

2) Trigger Happy honking, again, those long burst like they can honk you away.

3) Incessantly insisting on their right of way without looking at the bigger picture of the situation, thus refer to 1) and 2).

4) Insist on showing who is the boss by starring at the erronous driver who made a mistake. Again refer to 1) and 2).

But what I'm wondering about is... Who are these drivers??

Everyone seems to agree on the same issue... but no one seems to know any friend who is like that... but everyone at some point would have had encountered these drivers...

So... where are these drivers!?!?

Giving negative comments... Or taking comments negatively??

It is me, to tell people almost straight up what I think of a situation.
If I thought that the person will not be able to take what I have to say... I usually say nothing.
And then people will think that I have got no idea of my own.
But these are the same people who said that you are not sensitive to other's feelings...

When given a situation, I like to think of the failure first.

Being pessimistic and negative?

I beg to differ...

When I think of all the possibility of failure of the situation, I can better plan for it if it really turns out this way, failed...
Failed... but salvaged, because of the pre-planning of the failure... so the situation does not become any worse off than it already is...
I think that this is actually being optimisstic since you are actually trying to make the best out of a lousy situation, instead of moping over what should have been done or what could have been done...
Thinking before hand of all the things that could cause a failure... would it not help in ensuring the success??

So when we are told of a "negative" point, shouldn't we actually look at what was being said. And think of how we can improve on that.
We should actually thank people who gives us negative feedback... because... this IS the only way we can improve.
If we take any comments as negative, aren't we then the negative ones?

If it's a success, be happy that it worked out the way you planned it.
If you received a positive comment, be happy that your effort was appreciated.
But never be happy because you think you are good in it...

I really dislike it...

I really dislike it when people asks you questions and then use your answer against you.

When you stop answering their questions, they say that you don't talk to them anymore...
