Hello guys, who can ever imagined that you have full lessons of life just in one piece of paper table mat? I can.
After paying a heartful trip to Saisaki Japanese Buffet, located right in the centre of Bukit Bintang. If you happened to stay at Bukit Bintang area, you could simply walk through the Pavillion, passing few buildings and finally reach there in about 20-25 mins (my fren said that I'm a fast walker. I never thought of that).
The food was superb! I think this is the first buffet-style dish that I managed to have more than 2 helpings on variety of dishes :). Usually my best personal record will be 2 dishes. Whilst having a great food with a great friend and a great chat in a great environment (ha, ambik engko), I suddenly realized that the table mat looks interesting to me, full of words of wisdom. It is so interesting that both of us took each of different table mats home. My fren even asked the cashier there whether they have more of it. The cashier smiled and told us that there are five different sets of mats altogether. Both of us were so determined at that time, looking for those five sets!!!! Semangatss. At the end of the day, my fren managed to find 3 of different mats and I took 2. The one above is the most interesting word-of-wisdom mat of all. If you are lazy to squint your eyes reading each words written on it, I shall be happy to write it here one by one. Useful words of wisdoms to help you to get through of your daily mundane plus hectic day in the office...
1. Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is.
Boy, aren't we love to be competitive? It can be anything.
2.You would achieve more, if you don't mind who gets the credit.
That is so true. Being selfish does not help you at all in this department.
3. When everything else is lost, the future remains.
Be positive. Stay positive.
4. Don't fight too much or the enemy will know your art of war.
This to protect yourself from being manipulated.
5. The only job you start at the top is when you dig a grave
So, all works (except those above) start from the bottom. No short cuts my dear friend!
6. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything
They are talking principle here. Principle.
7. If you do little things well, you'll do big ones better.
It can be a good thing or a bad thing. Take your pick.
8. Only things that comes to you without effort is old age.
Haha. Love this word. I should have it posted in my FB. Good one :)
9. You wont't get a second chance to make a first impression.
Have you ever heard of second impression before? I don't think so.
10. Only those who do nothing do not make mistake.
To err is human.
11. Never take your problem to your boss unless you have a solution.
I have experienced this few times. There is a moment where you just don't have any solution at all and you are really desperate to find the answer. Definitely my boss (don't know about your boss) will ask me back - so what is your solution? sheesh.
12. If you are not failing, you are no taking enough risks.
Glad I have taking some before and to tell you the truth - no regrets at all.
13. Don't try to get rid of your bad temper by losing it.
Skill of which I need to master it very well. Still learning...
14. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
I'm not into skydiving anyway, why should I care? (terasa nampak.Huhu)
15. Those who don't make mistakes usually don't make anything.
Hmm..why this statement reminds me of someone I knew. Hmm again..
16. There are 2 kinds of failures : Those who think and never do, and those who do and never think.
So true.
17. Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.
So, choose your battle wisely.
18. All progress has resulted from unpopular decision.
Stand to the decision that you believed in, not for the sake of popularity and watch how it works at the end of the day.
19. Change your thoughts and you change your world
Give a change a chance.
20. Understanding proves intelligence, not the speed of learning.
So, prompt your Qs as many as you can as it helps you to understand the subject matter or point of discussion very well.
21. There are 2 kinds of fools in the world : Those who give advice and those who don't take it.
So, what happen to those who don't give advice and those who take it?
22. The best way to kill an idea is to take it to a meeting.
Hehehe..simply love this word of wisdoms.
23. Management is doing things right. Leadership is doing the rights things.
I concur!
24. Friendship founded on business is always better than business founded on friendship.
This statement still makes me ponder.
So, there are so many wide choice of words of wisdoms on that single piece of table mat. Not forgetting the wide choice of japanese foods there, hehe. The foods are yummy. Thanks to my fren who keeps this pic that I can share it with the rest of you.
