29 sept 2008 (pressure)

pressure is the force acting on an area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface.

i found the definition of pressure in the wikipedia wed site, in simple form it like putting air in a balloon, the air create pressure in the balloon and if the balloon can't take it anymore it will explore in your face(if you are using the mouth).

i observe that the starting of putting pressure in any container is easily and fast, but when the pressure start to build up, putting any more pressure inside is hard and slow.

NO, I'm not writing science stuff.. it will put you to sleep.(And that made me a very failure writer)

I observe that whatever law is at physic seems to apply the same to our mind and body when it comes to achieving our goal.

I remember when i took on this job,saving money,train up,self discipline myself into praying,rejoin martial art(finally after 5 years) everything seems easy at the start. It feel easy, new , refreshing.

At work, i looking forward to report in early, ask a lot of questions, volunteer to take on new task and improve on whatever mistake i made.

At sport, every off day i will go to training and go to you tube to check up how to execute certain moves.doing flexibility training.

Everything is good.easy,fun and en joyful.

As time when pass, thing becoming harder.

At work, I began to turn up late at work,stop asking question,lose the interest and sometime slacking off.
At sport, i began to get lazy at training,turn up less for class and began to train lesser at home.

What is the reason behind all this? the reason is pressure.

I began to feel stress as i encounter with difficulty and i don't know how to handle it.i forgot the first feeling i got when i first started off.It is the most common thing people have face, and being human i also experience it.

the answer to this question i found is knowing what you want. As I began to ask myself is this what i want? and the answer is "Yes". And strangely after i got the answer, the "pressure" seems to go away.

I found the energy to do all the thing i planned to do, and relive the first feeling i got for the things i enjoy doing.

For today it is the same principle apply, i didn't feel like writing, i feel like just quitting.But this is what i wanted to do, i have to discipline myself even though i don't feel like writing.

there is a different being wanting to do it and a need to do it.I got the perfect situation that i encounter to explain my point;

There are time in my past, when i was in my ex Church, i didn't WANT to go and i didn't WANT to do thing they told me to do.

It is something that i FEEL that NEED to do(i am a responsible christian last time, but now a catholic still loving God only). The speaker really talk his way through, and i was struggling with myself and peer pressure, i know in my heart that my love is at martial art.(if you end up fighting with you self, you end up on the floor whether you win or lose).

They always "encourage" them to do certain things like turning up for chruch's event( by putting unwanted pressure and peer pressure on you), and "encourage" by your peers in chruch to turn down whatever plans you have in order to attend their events.Even plan like visiting your parent who is in the hospital, they will "encourage" you to turn it down.(i not making this up)

the things that i mention is the perfect case study to let you know what kind of pressure get you ahead like a good compress natural gas cylinder(CNG) that power up a car and what kind of pressure made you burst like a balloon.

After all diamond are create under high pressure underground.
