80/20: Food/Exercise!

Read my sister's blog post on the 80/20 Principle. My first thought: sounds sooo awfully familiar... Blank...

Reading further, she mentioned 'Uncle Pareto'. Aha! Something to do with stats and graphs, definitely! That's all I know about Pareto anyways. Even that, I completely forgotten which graph is actually the Pareto kind... Funny this comes from someone with engineering background, eh? But don't blame me, the last time I learnt it was when I was in school, which was last century!

Oh, well...

I read further and found out it's something about how, we are in charge of 80% of going-ons in our life and only 20% we can't control. However, most of the time in our life, we let the 20% get the better of the 80%. Meaning, we tend to spoil our lives because of the things we can't control.

Now, reflecting this with my own life, this very evening, I can't control how people are going to treat me, or what my teachers are going to make us do in exercise class. But, I can control what I'm going to do for the rest of the evening - eat and be merry! Haaha!

Ok, ok, some people may find it overwhelming talking about food all the time but hey, that's one of life's bare neccessities, ain't? Thumbs up for Baloo the Blue Bear for that song anyways. Helps me to think about living in simplicity - not really easy if you're high maintenance like me, you know! And to appreciate every trivial things happening in life, like being able to hear, see, sing, dance, eat...

Yeah, FOOD again. So that's it. I'm going to follow my instinct and hunt for good food! Yummm!
