Self-Improvement

As we grow older, there are times when life suddenly seems so monotonous. Everything seems to revolve around chores, work, obligations and commitments. So much so, that everyday happenings seems to be a routine. A day passes and everything just seems the same. And we go through these daily routines, feeling empty, tired and restless but safe.

Safe because, we know that tomorrow will be the same. Nothing new and unexpected.

Do we still take the time to make changes to ourselves, to make improvements so that we will be a 'better' person when everything is the same?

Do we go the extra mile in our work, in our relationships and perhaps for strangers?

Or do we just go by every passing day, the same person as we were yesterday?

Just a thought to ponder.....

To me, self-improvement is essential.... to do that we need to know how to self-motivate.(and probably a push from friends around us) Improve for yourselves and not for acknowledgement of others.

It may just be the hardest thing you will ever need to do. But eventually, wonderful things would unfold, especially when you least expect it to be.

My resolution of the year :
To learn something new everyday, be it small or significant. Probably jot down in a journal or diary. Anyone want to join me???

SMART ALEC

Let me introduce a new vocabulary which I’ve learned over the past 3 years in my current workplace.

*drum rolls*

PHARMIST!!!!

Somehow there are just a group of people who thinks that the person dispensing medication in a pharmacy is called a 'PHARMIST'.

Been called ‘PHARMIST’ a lot lately.

Somehow it’s really getting on my nerves when someone calls me that although it was a good laugh when I 1st heard it.

So I’ve made up my mind to correct the next person who calls me a pharmist…

Oh for goodness sake!! I don’t want to be known as a pharmist.

This is just a presumption how this word came about:

Person dealing with chemical stuff : chemist
Person dispensing in a pharmacy :
pharmist

What do you reckon? Guess there are many smart-alecs in the world huh….

*winks*

So as a warning… no one calls me PHARMIST k??
