Old Me, New Me

I've received two emails today dated 31st December.

Dear Issac,

I love reading your blog. I love seeing you on your blog. However, you've changed. You party and party and party and party. Non-stop.

You have a promising blog.

You used to be really invested in your blog.

What happened?

And another reads like this;

Issac ! Are you going to be the Singapore Lindsay Lohan partying all night long, partying everyday!?!

And then there's a comment written in my guestbook by my best buddy!

Its been a long time since I communicated with her! A really long time.

I guess she's right too. I've changed. Changed drastically. I miss the old me. I really miss the old me.


I just need one person to knock some sense into me.

There you are - my best buddy came.

She knocks some sense into me!



Good decisions come from disciplined thinking. If you follow the basic laws of decision making, most of your plans will work out. Think haphazardly when you make a decision and little of what you plan will pan out.

They are habit-forming. Each time you make the right decision, you gain the necessary self-confidence to keep making good decisions. That’s why following the laws of decision making is crucial.


Focus on the most important thing. This seems obvious, but it is the decision-making principle that is most often violated. People overload the decision-making process with so many variables that what’s really important gets lost.

Example: Most decisions only require you to answer one yes or no question, such as, Do we launch this product? But then someone says, What about this? and someone else says, What about that?

What should have been a straight-forward decision gets confused by minor considerations. You lose the focus for making the right decision.

In every decision, one factor usually is the most important. Close your eyes, and concentrate on that element, forgetting all other considerations. Once you’re focused only on what’s most important, the odds are you’ll make the right decision. Everything else is a detail.


I guess I have been vaguely making the right decisions and not differentiating what's right and wrong.
