everyday with Joleen

I remember long long time ago during the time Siew Lin is teaching me about anger management, one of the point she teach me to accept things that happen without fighting with our own strength.

Even though the words are short but indeed it rooted in my heart.

It really works quite well especially for a perfectionist like me.

This morning I want to upload 20 files to shutterstock after waited 1 month (1 month ago i been rejected- please visit www.shutterstock.com if you don get what i mean, erh if still don understand… don find me coz I lazy to explain hahaha)

Just to wait 20 files upload to the site is a really sickening waiting moment coz my office internet really sucks.

i always get the result of “connection interrupted” at the end after 5 minutes waiting.

so I get really restless .. N trying to upload again n again n get really frustrated. coz I tried 1 hour plus d the things still can’t upload.

But when I think of what it means by “accept it without fighting” , suddenly it cools me down..

so from very perfectionist must see things done , suddenly i change my tune of voice to ” ok la.. then we see how.. if cannot upload today.. then try tonight”

so i just accept “connection interrupted” is a fact .. haha and its really no big deal =) (sound like phlegmatic suddenly)

SO i continue trying with “just ok” attitude with many times..finally i realize  that when the brain is calm, i can think wiser!.

I just found out that can upload 1 file at a time instead of 20 file each time!.. previously I tot the files will disappear with try 1 file each time (my friend just teach me to upload 20 files each time)

so I slowly slowly upload 1 file by 1 file steadily..

learn a lesson this morning =)

At the end I am not so perfectionist after all HAHAHA..  (wonder is it the reason that my melancholy decrease liao)

p/s:  I am happy coz my photos are approved
