What Do You Think Is The Key To Success?

In my opinion, the key to be successful is to become a person who has self-discipline, resilience, confidence and perseverance. When you get self-discipline, you won't be lazy, waste your precious time to propel yourself, and even procrastinate on pursuing your goals. When you get confidence, you will have courage to face all of challenging things you never try before.When you get resilience and perseverance, you will revive and become stronger when every time the failure happened and something almost defeat you.

In other words, to be willing to fail, to get wrong, to make mistakes, to have a breakthrough on yourself and to grow up from it. Just to take one step back, two steps forward. This is the key to success.

My Thought On The Talk: Inside The Mind Of A Master Procrastinator

1. Do you procrastinate sometimes?

    Absolutely, i do. What happened is every time i feel exhausted and i really want to take a short break. But i would say it's rarely occurred on me.


2. What are some of the things you procrastinate on?

    I would choose the things are not important and close to the deadline. For instance, I push back the assignment today but i must finish this assignment in next day. Because the thing more day i push back, the more pressure i got later on.


3. What are strategies you can use to combat procrastination?

    I would choose to do the thing head of schedule and this strategies i usually use on everything in my daily life. Because if the situation is inevitable, the only way you can do is procrastinate the thing. For example, when you know something will happen and have a time conflict with your assignment. If you can do the assignment ahead of schedule, there's no need to worry about.


    What matter is to build up the habit of doing things ahead of schedule. Because when you could do all the things ahead of schedule, you would find it is quite flexible for you to do what you want to do in the rest of time. This is also part of time management.

In conclusion, we all need to think about what we are really procrastinating on, because everyone is procrastinating on something in life. Then we need to keep aware of the Instant Gratification Monkey which might manipulate the wheel of our mind.

Do You Prefer To Work From Home, Or To Work In The Office With Your Colleagues?

I prefer not to work in the office. Honestly, compare to WFH  i like WFC(work from cafe) more. But i guess both of two are quite similar even the WFC can make up for the lack of what WFH doesn't have. Most of similar things like communication, flexibility, commuting. I thought the big difference is that productivity. As a result of flexibility, most of people would like to wear the pajamas or casual wear and eat snacks by desk. This is the first reason i thought it might decrease the productivity because when you wear a pajamas you'll be lazy and easy to feel drowsy at work. 

I would say when you are working in the coffee shop, it usually help you increase focus and productivity and trigger your creativity in this way office, home, or library don't. Because the combination of noise, casual crowds, visual variety can give us the right amount of distraction to help us be our sharpest and most thinking. In the other word, background noise can propel our creative thinking. You might heard of convergent and divergent thinking that is absolutely how it works.

And also if you go to the coffee shop is as similar as go to office, you'll automatically do what you do in the way to office. So this is why i think about WFC can be more stronger and efficient than WFH. Another point come to my mind is that i know most of ppl worry about others struggle is that lots of temptation might cause ppl fail to done the work and usually ends up more stress but when you are working in cafe, you will find ppl around you are doing their own jobs and it will naturally boost you to put more concentration on your job.
