I thought I was growing to my peak of life but then it seems I’m just plain getting old when you think about it. After 1 month of rest, abstinence from running (besides the occasional chasing of the bus or rushing around), my shin is still hurting after I run. The intensity increases and the pain lasts longer when I run fast or longer distance. The MO doesn’t know why and I’ll have to wait another 2 weeks before I get to see a specialist about it.
On reading, I seem to be less capable of keeping focus, getting easily distracted when I hear people talking. I’ve this problem of being generally interested in people and things (kaypoh in other words). I’m not sure if there is a sign of getting old but I sure am a little disturbed by this myself.
On conversations, I have gotten particularly naggy nowadays, nagging at people to watch their weights, maintain their discipline, to find a passion, to get going with work, to accept my values and such.
I’ve however, been getting really positive about things and people like Ming Ren have always exclaimed how he fails to understand how I can keep on staying happy about all the things around me. My secret is merely the understanding the fact that many things that happens are beyond our control but whether to be happy and see the good things or to be irritated by all that is negative is a matter of choice. Negative tendencies can be reversed and the pros of things can be better appreciated.
Sharks, I’m imposing my values on others again…
