I am not 100% sure on the effective of this formula for one's success. However I find this quite useful when I am doing my Final Year Project. It consists of three stage which consist of different attitude, namely:
1. Believe
Prior to the start of a project, one has to ensure that the project that he is doing is gonna be a breakthrough or to the least, he has to find whatever he has planned is achievable. It is good if one can convince himself and believe that what he is going to implement is nothing but success.
Believe that you can achieve the objective, and achieve it successfully!!!
2. Perseverance
During the implementation of the plan, there will be a lot of hindrance, such as: lack of motivation, time or even resources. There will be a time when one feels as if he is doing something wrong or useless. Question may arise in someone's mind that asks if the sacrifice is worth the objective. At this time, it is critical to stand firm and persevere in doing the planned agenda.
A successful person is able to arrive at the decision fast yet slow in changing his decided plan.
3. Compromise
Though perseverance is a must, human is not perfect. Some decision may be wrong. This is a time where deadline might not be sufficient or resource is really limited. This is what should be done when everything else has been done to achieved the previously decided decision.
Compromising the objective or the perfectness of the objective is the last thing that should be persued!

Love is always patient and kind
Quoted from the Holy bible 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
I used to think I am a fair person when it is dealing with reserving seat during the mass. I personally tried not to reserve the seat in the church for mass. My past argument is that it was not fair for those who came earlier yet they could not find a seat for themselves caused you were hogging the seat.
Today, I had to reserve a seat for my dearest sister who could not come earlier to the church on time due to her class. I was upset and not feeling comfortable of hogging the seat beside me, especially after the church warden asked me if the seat were available. I was about to let go the seat, yet I restrained myself for doing that.
My sister came to the seat at about 20 mins after the mass started. I kept silent and tried to calm down my mixed feeling. It was at that time I realized that I was too selfish. It was not about whether it was fair to hog the seat or whether her action caused distraction to my communion with God. Probably, I was just too afraid of being portrayed as unfair or selfish by reserving the seat. In fact, my sister reserved a seat for me few weeks ago and she always welcome me with a smile.
I sincerely thanks God for giving me such a patient and cheerful individual as my sibling.
Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited, it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offence or store up grievances.I was reminded again on the nature of love in the church today.
Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth. It is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if tongues, they will fall silent; and if knowledge, it will be done away with.

A Morning Prayer
Few days ago, I prayed during my trip to office.
"Lord Jesus, Teach me and guide me to be more like You.
To be firm yet caring...
To be just yet loving...
AMIN"
