How did I ever get myself into so many things at the same time?! It's crunch time with my thesis due soon... 100 pages to go, really need to get myself started on such stuff!

Really how much can I stretch myself and what is my potential? If only I realise it 12 years ago...

Look into your moral compass that governs your actions. Which part of the compass does it fall into? Do you do things because others are doing it? Do you have your own moral compass at all?

Example: Late for lecture after PE, what do you do?

1. Rush in through the main door, don't change attire because you don't want to miss lessons.

Then you base your actions on yourself. You disregard your family (in this case friends/school mates) by disturbing them and set a bad example for the rest. You can justify that your actions are right based on your self needs but it is not and definitely not noble. If everyone learns from your example, the nation and subsequently the world will become a poorer place.

2. Rush in through the back door, don't change attire because you don't want to miss lessons.

Then you base your actions on your own needs but you choose to come in discreetly because you don't want to set a poor example or you do not want to disturb your friends. However, attending lesson in LT after PE is poor hygiene. Some attempts to balance the needs of self and beyond but your actions may not be entirely noble

3. Change into appropriate attire, rush in through the back door and check with your friends/tutors on what you missed out after the lecture.

Where should we place this under the moral compass?

1. That my life will be turned upside down in a few months time

2. That CNY is coming this weekend

3. That I'm setting a record for work hours this week

4. That blogging seemed so old nowadays...

5. That statistics show that 'old' folks like me tends to blog
