Lesson of the day: Tactics of sweeping

When i first started helping my aunt sweep e floor of her flower wholesale - distribute flowers to other shops - shop, i have a difficult time sweeping up e petals of flowers. When i sweep it, the petals on the fallen flower would kinda come off. E more i sweep, e messier it'll get, so at times, i have to resort to picking up e flowers instead of sweeping it to a side. My aunt saw e way i sweep, n she commented that i should use 2 hand instead of one. Hmm.. n it worked~! At least lesser petals came off.

Few weeks ago, i found out that, when u sweep, u have to be gentle. Don't sweep as if u were angry with e floor. E methods to hold e broom play an important role too. At first, i hold e broom e same way i hold my pen. THen, i looked at how e others sweep, n i started to learn their method. By holding with 2 hands, u'll have better grip of the broom, thus sweeping would be easier n more effective~!

Somehow, while sweeping jus now, i relate it to life. N maybe.. e "dirt" in our life. There's alot of ways to sweep e dirt away. THere's e smooth way, n e rough way. U can treat ya dirt as ya enemy, n somehow, u might not achieve that result. Then, when u focus more on your dirt, n u sweep it correctly, the dirt would be removed. At times, e "smooth" way is e best method, for example, on certain smooth floor.

Lately, or should i say a minutes ago, my ex msg to ask me out as it's his bday tml. I did not promise him that i'll go out with him, as i don't want to raise false hope for him, but then, he msg just now to say that he had booked a car (he knows how to drive) n he had ordered a mango - i love mango n he knew that- puff just to celebrate his day with me, but then, the reply i gave him is that, i prefer to not go. I don't really wish to drag this relationship for so so long. It's pointless. As expected, he scolded alot of vulgar words. Somehow, i could imagine him crying now. Sigh. Instead of feeling mad after e vulgarities i got, i felt calm. Imagine doing alot for a person, n planning a wonderful bday for yourself, e person just tell u to move on without her. Sigh... Wish he'll calm down like i do, n think in my shoe. Sigh.

Focus n calm down on e problems u might be facing now. Getting angry at an angry person is not much help to e situation. It's best to think in that person's shoe before u react to stuff.
