People Fail. people Fall. Its part and parcel of not being perfect. Or so it is.
See, people fail their exams and then they start their crying and all. now lets look behind the scenes. They guy tells you he plays Maple/Gunz/Rakion/CS/Whateverla/ for 12 hours a day. You ask him about studies. He say he don't care. When he fail, he not happy.
6 months later. he still talks to you about his habits. Then he doesn't do well. You can't expect to get different results if you keep on doing the same thing. Rubbish. Utter. rubbish. You want to be better in basketball but you still go on telling people that. All Talk No Action. ATNA. Everything is about ATNA. The people have different mindsets. We should create this ATNA meter.
All Talk No Action<-------------------------------(-.-)-------------------------------->All Action No Talk. (AANT)
Don't think being AANT i good arh i tell you. You action action no talk you become solo i tell you. Got groupwork you start doing without consent, without advice. The more impulsive people. AANT. But then, the problem is, if i say too much AANT is bad, then you people kiasu kia, gotall the way to the other side. ATNA. Oh dear. Such horror. You are supposed to be where the face is there. You Talk, But still got action. Those who Go to the extreme sides fall under the EXPECT DIFFERENT RESULTS WITH SAME PATTERN OF LIFE. This becomes a hopeless dead-end structure. The ATNA would not care to change his ACTIONS the AANT would not care to change his MINDSET. One is just more physical than the other. Lets talk, but still got action.
A;Walau i fail my test. Stupid larh.
B: You play com 12 hrs a day Never study... its obvious.
A: Ok lor... I stop playing then i study.
B:Gooooooooood
1 day later,
B: You started?
A:Starting liao.
The next next day,
B: Started?
A: Aiya yesterday was my last com day, I start today la. I really want to study.
the next next next day,
B: Started?
A:I really tired la yesterday, but must promise myself to study.
B:Ok...
the next next next next day.
B:Started?
A:Going to today, I buy the asst books already.
Next Month.
A: Hey B, i really want to study and imprive myself. i think I should not play com or fail anymore. I bought my asst Bks already, I going to copy my notes....
6 months later,
A:walau fail again.
Obviously, everyday hook com we are all not surprised right? A jus say he want to study for months but ALL TALK NO ACTION. fool. Usually AANT also very arrogant. They pin everything on luck. No luck just think they will get somemore in the future. Such arrogance. The more people think of their superiority, they potentially move further into the ATNA category.
Same scenario.
A: (Fail exam)
teacher: You see, this exam is not about drilling, its about understanding concepts and learning key words and structures....
For the next 6 months,
A Still drill himself over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, then he still fail. And he doesn't think about his actions, he doesnt evaluate, he doesnt reflect. Just move on like a robot or a golem, or a terminator, or Loyal soldier. One mindset, don't care the rest.
These are people who fall into the extreme end of AANT. None of them is better than the other. All same same. Those who are asking for failures. But the best part, they move on like nothing happened. Which is wrong. Think. We all must think. Must think and do. We must fall into the Got-Talk Also Got Action. G-TAGA.
see. This is where the face is. the prime balance of nature. The balance of life. But I'm telling you. Not easy to balance you know. because since this is prime spot, very limited time unless got high skill. Even I'm not in the G-TAGA cat. Soon, people get too happy, then they either STOP DOING THE SAME THING BUT TALK MORE (ATNA) OR KEEPON DOING THE SAME THING( AANT)
These kind of people is too kiasu, or not kiasu enough. Must have sure-win method or got the sure-win belief.
Even hotel got cases. Some hotels because their rooms so nice and clean they think the servicing is great. Then they talk and talk.
i give you example ar, you ever seen those kinds of rooms where the blanket arh, they tuck in soooooo tight you sleep like a half-covered egyption mummy. Its just that you're still alive. So tight.
Or another one is the toilet shower tap. Sometimes you turn tthe knob to the left, got small drops of water only that comes out, sometimes you turn to the left, you get this scalding water. Sometimes you turn to the left, you get both. But then you think, So must be turn ALOT to the right. then Oh My God... The tap blasts you with a Category 5 hurricane storm or seems like as i the water was taken from the north pole and travelled through the water pipes at a snap. Or better, you turn it to the left and you get struck by the mini-hurricane but feel your outsides dropping temperature like xiao. Then you go outside the toilet quickly and open the freezer for the instant tako yaki (Microwave only). When you open the freezer, the blast of cold air freezes your freezing head for 10 seconds. When the 10 seconds is over, instead of putting your instant tako yaki in, you get so frustrated that you put your head in the microwave instead. then suddenly the maid comes in to clean your room. She looks like the witch from hansel and gretel. And she sees you in the microwave.
You get so angry, freaked out, and frustrated over just one bath that you pack in 5 minutes and you check out. Then you take the feedback form and write all your mishaps and complains. Now lets look behind the scenes.
Worker - "err Boss, what do you think about the form you read?"
Boss - we are the best 5-star hotel, lets just see how we can improve according to this feedback form.
He spends months talking to his workers about it but gets nothing done. ATNA Boss. As you can see, he believes his hotel with all the mishaps is still the BEST. Do you see that arrogance?
Lets look at this severely obese man.
Man: I want to reduce my weight Friend.
Friend: Great Idea! Man, I think you are on the right track.
The next day,
Friend - how are you doing man?
Man - yesterday, I saw this laksa, makansutra laksa leh! Shiok to eat lor!
Friend - ... =.='''
next month,
(You know what happens.)
So the world is full of these kind of people. usually the people who have this mindset are those with, the belief that they have too much to live for (ATNA) or those that think they have nothing to live for (AANT)
But every person is unique. No matter what. Its just their mindset. So after you read this, picture the balance. Come I help you picture)
(Am I here?) (Or here?) (dam close) (Cool Sia) (getting good) (close) (Hell no)
ATNA<-------------------------------------G-TAGA---------------------------->AANT
Think, straight or crooked it doesnt matter, ATNA or AANT, Just be yourself. But try to be on the right track.
