woke up with a struggle, but was up by 6:30am.
had breakfast and reached the docs office by 9:20am, eyes still good, but a bit short sighted. So might as well go for the glasses frame when its covered by my insurance.
Eyes were still dilated when I got out and the sun was making it tough. Went to costco and the lady at the eye shop asked me to come back for measurements. So went back again. the eye dilation was affecting my driving and vision. After a struggle made it back in my trusty car.
Was not able to read properly cause of the dilation. so skipped the online course.
Posted this inspiring piece on Fb, surprisingly, I found that I was practicing most of it from my own experience and trying to motivate myself.
Kind of paradigm, here I am about the end of my job with the current company and dont seem to be that worried. Earlier had "fear" motivating me to work extra hard and fast to get to the next job.
JUST FOR TODAY
by Vin Vinner on Wednesday, 05 October 2011
1. Just for today, I will be HAPPY. This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that "most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be" . Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of externals.
2. Just for today, I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my family, my business and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.
3. Just for today, I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse it nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding.
4. Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind, I will learn something useful, I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
5. Just for today, I will exercise my soul in three ways, I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. I will do at least two things I don't want to do, as William James suggests, just for exercise.
6. Just for today, I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try to regulate not improve anyone.
7. Just for today. I will try to live through this day only, not to tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do things for twelve hours that would appall me if I to keep them up for a life time.
8. Just for today. I will have a program, I will write down what I expect to do every hour, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. It will eliminate two pests, hurrying and indecision.
9. Just for today, I will have a quite half-hour all by myself and relax. In this half-hour sometimes I will think of God, so as to get little more perspective into my life.
10. Just for today, I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be HAPPY, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love, and to believe that those I love, love me.
THINK AND ACT CHEERFULLY,
AND YOU WILL FEEL CHEERFUL.
Cheers to Happiness

Oct 04 2011, re-newed dertermination
Tuesday, Oct 04 2011
Woke up early with renewed determination to get things done on the online course,
.
called up the lab and gave them the insurance details. that was easier than doing it on the web.
The apt inspector from the county came by to check the fire alarms.
around 2:33 finished the definin and sequencing
Then stepped out to go to costco. the streets were cloged with traffic. ufff.
Made it thru the little streets and had a chat with venk. was talking about Qatar and how the average house hold income there were 3 times more than US. No wonder people working there are able to come back to kerala with truck loads of cash and buy up the properties.
The US may also collapse economically soon. its just a question of time. They are all living on credit. That is money belonging to someone else. Its like a Giant Ponzi scam.
Yet the only place in the world, where you can succeed if you have the energy to work and creativity to appeal to the market.
Does not matter who your parents and family is or your background. All depending on your enterprising spirit and risk taking ability.
The land of self made millionaires.
unlike the Lazy Europeans who love to enjoy and lazy around from all the stolen wealth from the colonies.
The greeks, the italians, the spanish, the ultra lazy Czechs, the crazy irish, the portuguese, the drunk Eastern europeans..... all lazy retarded people who only love to waste time doing frivolous things and think that things pay for itself.
And then they go on to blame the gypsies for doing the same things.
hahaha talk about double talk.
Wonder what italian bomb gulia is doing. last time she sent me a card from germany. maybe will try to convince her to make the move to Qatar.
Returned back from costco and had chicken samosas and mini chicken patties from costco. they were surprisingly good.
talked a bit with anil and chatted with a comcast rep to help log me in.
latter watched kama sutra on the free movies on comcast.
now to finish the estimating, resources and duration.... . need inspiration to complete all these courses. 10 down,,,,18 more to go.
went for a walk and a little jog in the cold.
Got this link on FB from ke sina , that was kind of her to share it, Very interesting and thought provoking.

Frustrating as it is, and to top it all, its cold 40degF and this apartment having central heat from the apt management, they are only required to switch it on a particular date as per the direction of the government.
missing my old apt, had all the wonderful facilities and it costed like wise.

OCT 01 2011, Saturday, Loyalty
Saturday Oct 01 2011,
\
Loyalty, was thinking about peoples relationship and why some people seem to have committed relationships compared to the others.
LOYALTY.
Loyalty is faithfulness or a devotion to a person, country, group, or cause and not giving up at the signs of trouble.
Loyalty is what keeps families together under dire circumstances of natures tests.
For loyalty to flourish or grow, Inputs are Parents, Culture (like Indians), Heritage, surrounding, friends who think like wise are few.
Depth of these feelings or revelation of this trait in character is more profound when there is sincerity in a person. When a person is more sincere, they show more depth. When a person is not sincere, they are usually very shallow and fickle minded. Which in turn makes them drift from one relationship to another and are never stable nor reliable.
Which again brings out the statement, loose character ed person or person of very loose character and moral.
LOYALTY, so is said to be a noble trait.
Now I got to drive about 70 plus miles to help out Nar to Help him do the floors of his new house, have to find something nice to gift him on his house warming that happened on Thursday.
hmmmmm racking my brain for that. grrrrr ,, aaahh,, oooohh,,, eee aaaa,,, hehahahaaha. nice to start of the day with laughter.
Again I wonder how many of the people in the western world would feel the sense of loyalty to go help a frined with work on laying out the wooden floor by traveling 75+75 miles == 150 miles about 200kms on a weekend.?
Guess thats where we get to know the basic difference in behavior between people of different cultures.
People with no sense of Loyalty often do not even love of like their own culture or hardly know anything about their own heritage and are always looking at the grass on the other side of the river which seems to be glowing green.

Woke up still on a high from yesterdays. Had a few good dances and good connections. It was nice when asked to dance the bachata and was able to dance a very sensual dance. Was surprised when she came back and asked me again to dance 2 more times and then she kissing me in her excitment and happiness. Wow, that was the first time been so sweetly kissed by a stranger, whos name I am not able to remember.
It was also nice meeting a pretty greek girl. chri stin.
She kind of lives a bit far off. So did not feel like asking her her number, looked like she was disappointed, the way she seemed sad leaving. aawwww, what ever.
