-Today i discover that i am afraid of losing, because i am afraid of losing. Because i am afraid of losing, i avoid conflict, and postmodern my mistakes over and over again, because i am afraid of losing i am fearful, stressed out and suck at poker. That's why i cannot be a bad guy because bad guy entails risk of losing.
I have never been aware of this before, i always look down at singaporeans for being kiasu but never noticed this in myself. Since i am not aware of it i cannot correct it.
If i am not afraid of losing, immeidately i gain flexibility and relaxation and most important detachment.
-I must remember that it is never my fault. My personality and nerve is too complex near impossible by human to change; there are billions of connections like the milky way how can i change anything. So i am never blamable for my mistakes and shortcomming, and this non blaming makes me more powerful. Read the book Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman.

How to study oracle books or any other books
First you get a intutive oracle book that you only have to read once or twice to understand the difficult concept, read my advice on what book to read. If not go to amazon and type best oracle book, read the reviews on the book. Go to google books to check review of the book. Use search engine type ""oracle book title xxxx" free book" you will usually find a copy of the book. Use search engine of singapore library to find the book. This will be your major oracle book.
Then if you have concept you dont understand in the major oracle book, read other oracle book that gives the explanation in a different way.
Then after you have masters the old master book, go find a more advance oracle book to be your master book.

The other good thing about Oracle compare to engineering - Can use forum
You can ask for technical advice in forum, and get answers quickly.
In engineering it is much more difficult because you have to beg for the answers people usually dont want to teach you.
Know how to use internet forums, it is very important.

Best self help books (1 Oct 2009)
Read the book reviews in Amazon to get an idea. Use Singapore library search engine to find the book to borrow. Read reviews of the book in the internet by type “book title review”. Look for any pirated book. We may have the book. Check if the books are up in freedrive.com, ask your mom or aunty. I am compiling the reviews and put it up facebook and freedrive and email. Cant post it in this blog for copyright reasons. Read some previews in Google books, usually it is enough to read the preview. Check our portable hard drive, probably have copies of the book.

2. Strategic Intuition by William Duggan : This book really explains the real meaning of buddhism, Tao, and hinduism. Respond by what not you want, but what the situation demands. There is a lots of this books in Singapore libraries. And reading google book preview is enough.

Looking at PLSQL or C codes is like looking at a forest
Don't think that you are staying at home you are missing out all the fun roaming in a forest.
Looking at PLSQL or C codes is like looking at a forest.
Everything in this universe is fractal, self similiar, like a crystal growing into more and more complex shape until it and grows into every terriotry making forest, human which is a small universe, and human being a part of the force which created the complex world created quantum mechanics, number theory maths and poetry created codes, and codes is a part of the force, a part of the forest, a part of crystals.
Being with PLSQL or C is like being in a forest.

Why Oracle is better than the rest
Oracle can earns lots of money even with medium B+ skills. Oracle can be tweaked at home with only a cheap PC. You can be a expert by 13 years old. By Oracle is fun. Compared to;
Thereotical physics which require A+ skills to earn good living else you become a high school teacher, and there is no guarantee if you can researched anything new. There is actually a lot of dirty competition in physics.
Electronic and eletrical engineer or other engineering. Equipment is expensive cannot tweak at home. Engineering has much less tweaking than programming.
Philosophy is very hard to earn a living, you will likely become a high school teacher. Probably slightly less fun than Oracle.
Poetry you will be poor.
Poker you need to be broke for a few years, it requires above average skills.
Weiqi is hardest to make a living, you have to work more hard than Oracle or Poker.
Law you have to like language a lot, and have no problem with being a bad guy.
Game programming is very unstable companies go bankrupt and too many people like to do it making competition high.
Account mm mmmm very boring but if you like to escape tax for big bucks it probably is ok. But you cannot tweak at home.

To love something
Actually you can love any occupation once you know enough of it. For instance something like Oracle you have to be with it, to know it in and out, to have mastery of it, then you will love it. If you are not familiar with something you will feel bored with it and dont love it.
Imagine that you have one billion dollars and have done everything you want to do
Like travel around the world, eat the best sushi, live in the best houses, sleep with the most beautiful woman, win the world poker tournament, read all the books. This all dont have to take too long, maybe 3 years. Then what would you do? With all the time left.
Considering philosophy, thereotical physics, mathematics, weiqi, karate, tai chi, poker, poetry, I thought about it, I would do Oracle, I can live in the mountains and all but my mind have to have something to chew on. And programming with all its beauty, logicallness and orderliness, like a zen garden, is the place i want to be in. Weiqi is simply too taxing and gets repetitive, poker is too damn boring, philosphy maybe, karate and tai chi is too boring once mastered and how can you do karate all day?
Thus think about this question. You need to have some occupation you want to be with, you are in love with, you can tweak in your house all of the time. I suggest Oracle database. Focus on the occupation you in love with often, dont focus much on the office politics, then your life will be very fine quality as it suppose to be. Even office politics focus on your war techniques not the result like what you do at poker focus on your play not the money. Focus on what you love not the result but paradoxically move towards the result , use the dip.

Game programming will get your started
At young age you are in now, start with game programming first, use c++ or gamemaker to make some game. 3d you can use Blender to make some models. Go up to the internet and read game programming tutorials to get you started. At about 13 you can become a expert game programming. But game programming income is unstable and Oracle i think is better. I have done game programming and it is not a living thing, Oracle is because it handles large amount of data, and the complexity makes it alive.
Forget all about other spiritual path
Those buddhism, christianitylah, no ego, enlightenmentlah, samadhi, avaitar, new science, new age, whatever, dont fall into their trap it will lead you no where. Follow only karate.

Today I found the dip book and sams teach yourself plsql in 21 days
I was looking for Oracle PLSQL program units exam guide in Jurong East Regional library in Singapore and it was on loan, and i found the above two great books.
The Sams teach yourself PLSQL in 21 days by Johnathan Gennick is probably the best PLSQL book i have ever read though it is not very famous and uses oracle 8i but i cant put the book down, it step by step explanation has cleared a lot of doubts in my mind even the Rampant book Oracle PLSQL jumpstart didnt really clear. I cant put the book down.But the book is written by two authors, John is probably very good the other one probably not that good, read the reviews of Amazon.
The other book is The Dip by Seth Godin, somehow i havent spotted that it was available in singapore library. It is probably the only book i would want you Sean and Ryan to read. I might scan it to freedrive.com when i have time, it basically says you have to be the best, nobody wants average guys, people go for the best guys, but in order to be the best you have to go through a very diffcult period call the dip.
In work life there are two aspects, the political fighting aspect and the real job that you do, like Oracle. There are a lot of ugly parts in the political fighting and focusing too much on it will make your job which is suppose to be fun to be tedios. You have to fight but most of the time spent your attention on the good part of the job, liike Oracle, focus on the beauty and exploration part of Oracle. Be aware that you have to be the best, but work on the result but put your soul on the process. This is ying and yang aspect of work. Result Orientation read The Dip book by Seth Godin, is the yang aspect. The ying is process orientation by Thomas Steiner.
I just thought of the best balance of good guy bad guy character i want you sean and ryan to have. One is Riddick from the Chronical of Riddick movie. The other one is the SIngapore Goju Ryu karate national team brothers in Goju Ryu SIngapore. One brother wear specs and is a probably a engineer, have brain, but he has also gangster behavior, with karate as back up, half good half bad is the best combination.
Karate can protect you for the rest of your life.

You will never fail in life unless you quit
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Just conjore up feeling of happiness - excitement
The closest feeling of happiness is excitement in my opion - like you about to visit a shopping mall when you were six.
This feeling is long forgotten by me, today i artificially conjore the feeling, and it feels good, my body and mind immediately activates. No need for any conditon, just pretend you are excited.
