One Has To Learn To Love Oneself First...

One has to learn to love oneself first... Why do I come to this topic?

This is because I found that in the society, there are so many men who could not even take care of himself. If he does not know how to take care of himself, how can he take care of his loved ones?

They ended up themselves in such a mess mainly due to their uncontrollable habits and bad self management. One of the main culprit for bad self management is addicted to gamble.

In order for one to know how to take care of himself, it is important that he must have:

1) Healthy Mind And Healthy Body
2) Self Improvement
3) Good Financial Management

I found that majority of the men failed to take care of themselves in so many ways. First of all, of course, it is very important for men to have a healthy mind and a healthy body. I am saying healthy mind first because I believe that if we have healthy mind then we will have healthy body and vice versa. It is the mind which controls the body. So, if we have a healthy mind, naturally we will have a healthy body.

When I say that we must have a healthy mind, naturally it means we must know which direction we are heading to. Are we doing the right thing in our career or are we just wasting our time lazing around or just doing something which did not benefit us at all for example gambling, drinking, smoking, etc?

It has been proven that if a person keeps his mind busy, he will not only lead a better life but also prolonged his life. Successful people like Mr Lee Kuan Yew or Tun Mahathir Mohammed who are in their 80's, are still in their great health.

Mom once told me that a faithful son sends his mother to play mahjong everyday for the son wanted his mother's mind busy thinking while playing mahjong for this will prolong his mother's life.

2) Self Improvements

Nowadays, there are so many youngsters who love to indulge in gambling, clubbing, taking drugs, etc. They do not realise that they can spend so much valuable time on learning some skills or doing something which interest them which will benefit them later.

There are so many things for someone to learn if one has put in some effort and interest.

Now, I have realised, while waiting for my SPM and STPM result, my parents disagree I work outside to gain some experience. They would rather I go to learn some skill instead. Its very lucky that I listened to my mother that I went to take a typing course. Due to this, I am able to type so much faster than majority of the people.

During these school holidays, I learned my computer skills. Due to having these basic computer skills, I am more advantage than most of my classmates because I am able to surf the net for information and doing my projects by using the computer.

Even I am a grown adult, I am so proud that with this computer skill, it leads me to self study on learning the computer softwares like Words, Excel, Powerpoint and Access. I bought books to learn all these softwares myself.

Most of my friends really envy me for I know how to operate these computer softwares. I am so much at advantage for I know how to use these softwares for my personal usage.

3) Good Financial Management

Everyone wants are unlimited. So it is very important that we must know how to control on our wants. Sometimes, when we have the urge to buy something, it is wise to ask ourselves that are we buying the item out of need or wants?

Of course, we have various crave for wants. However, the financial for everyone is always limited. So, it is good that we should be able to control our wants.

I believe that if one knows how to take care of himself, then he will definately be able to take care of his parents, wife and children. He will lead a successful life.
