Knowing our Passion 2

-



Another example of doing what we love.  SL liked flying since young, probably after watching the movie Top Gun.  He also told me he liked being a fireman.  He flew with the SAF after graduating, and is now converting over to a commercial pilot.  

So, again, are you doing what you like?  Do you know your passion?

Thank you, SL, for allowing me to use this pic.

Proper Sleep Posture

The way we sleep affects our life in a huge way.  From short term mood swings, to long term health issues.  Listed below are what I learned from doctors. For good sleep and spine health, a firm mattress is needed.  The best sleep posture is on the back, meaning face up.  This gives the best support for the spine. When lying on the back, the head should be aligned with the spine as best as possible, with good support under the neck. We can also put a bolster under both knees for better comfort. If we need to sleep on the side, we should put a bolster in between both knees as it reduces the stress on the spine.  This may require the knees to be bent slightly, but do not curl the body into a ball.  When sleeping on the side, we can also place a pillow against our back.  Try it!

[Check on line video for proper flossing technique] We can do the fingernail test.  Use our fingernail to scrape the sides of our teeth, especially the molars (the innermost teeth).  If we see white substances on the nail, that's plaque. Common procedures that will cost us a lot of money if we do not take care of our teeth: §   Root Canal (drilling into the tooth to remove the nerve, to remove the pain) § ...

Dealing with Our Boss

Many people are not happy with their boss for giving them too much work and too much stress.  They feel that the boss does not understand them or is being unreasonable.  They feel helpless because they are not in control.  While we cannot control our boss, we can manage the situation so that we are in control of the situation. The following are based on my experience in dealing with my past and present bosses.  There are also many articles on the internet on how to "manage our boss". I will list only a few points. 1.    The boss is usually right. Yes, because their goals are our goals.  Whichever direction they want to head towards, follow.  Especially in professional fields like medical, engineering and education etc, the bosses are usually there because of their vision, wisdom, creativity, and good work done. Trust them (barring flaws in their character). 2.   If we feel that there are gaps in certain areas, don't complain, but provid...
