Sat With Ren: Respect Begets Respect

Do you agree when I say that you don't always agree with people? Especially when it comes to their thoughts, ideas and opinion.  Other people have different opinion from us. Our family and/or friends don't always agree with one another because we don't have the same perspective when it comes to seeing things. To simply put it we don't have the same mindset. What's admirable to us doesn't make it admirable to others, and vice versa. We have different taste when it comes to food. Some like Japanese food while others prefer Italian cuisine. Others like jazz music while some couldn't stand listening to it. Others prefer going out with company, but there are those who would rather go solo. Some would prefer living in the city while some would rather spend their days in an island. Other people's idea of success might be different from others. There are some who want to spend their free time at home reading their favorite book while others want to spend it with

Sat With Ree: Love In Moderation

Do you believe in saving something for special occasion? For example, you have a new shirt, but you don't want to wear it, yet, because you are still waiting for a perfect occasion where you could wear it.  I was the type of person back then, but I am not the same kind of person anymore. I saw this quote that goes like, "You don't have to save anything for special occasion. Because everyday is a special occasion." When I thought about it, I couldn't agree more.  I know a person who treasures things too much. For example, someone gave him a bag. He only use it occasionally. Only to find out one day that it had already been damaged inside his closet because it had been stored for so long. Another example is when someone gave him chocolate, he didn't want to eat it right away. Or he will eat it, but it will take days before he could finish that one bar. What's worse is when he kept it in a safe place (so that no one could eat it), then totally forgetting abou

‎Sat With Ree: What It's Like Not To Be A Risk Taker

Are you the type of person who lives with the saying, "You Only Live Once?" Or are you the indecisive type, who is not willing to try something unless you know what the end result would be? Most people would agree that it's better to take the risk than to lose the chance. It's probably true, but let's admit that it's not always the case for most of us. Not everyone has the bravery to try new things. We want to see first the result of something before we go for it. We want to know if we will succeed, and once we know that we're only going to fail or we won't gain anything from it we won't try anymore.  Sometimes it pays to not be a risk taker, it could save time, effort and in some cases funds or resources. 😅 Taking a risk requires great courage, that's why some people find it hard to do so. I think younger people are more risk takers than the older ones. Probably because older people have many considerations when it comes to decision-making. 

Sat With Ree: What If Perfection Didn't Exist

What if the idea of a perfect body, perfect face, perfect timing, perfect man/woman, perfect partner and perfect life didn't exist? How is life gonna be? If perfection didn't exist, life would be a lot simple. There would be no comparison with others. No one's gonna see other's life better than theirs. People are only going to focus on their own life. Perhaps the saying, "The grass is always greener on the other side," won't make sense anymore. There wouldn't be any more pretense. People will be content with whatever they have and whoever they have in life. I think romantic relationships would have a lesser chance to end because couples will have smaller chance to cheat with their partner. They won't be looking for a perfect someone anymore, and only appreciate who they are with.  There would be a minimal chance of people judging others. Since perfect doesn't exist, there would be no basis or any standard that people think they should comply. J
