our calculator

We have a calculator in our mind to help us make decisions. Except that the variables in our calculator aren’t numbers but values and principles, so in order to make decisions quickly and with certainty we need to be very clear and stand strong as to what our values and principles are exactly.

For long term decisions we need to be very clear about what makes us happy so what drives our emotions is also an important factor to include in our calculator.

I think everyone should think and converse on a philosophical level as well as a dumbass level

so i did some heavy sparring with one of the pro boxing coaches today, it was fear, adrenaline and excitement all at once in milliseconds of moment.

THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE has got a new name. It's now called the fight, flight or freeze response. Stress experts around the world are adding the word freeze to the name in deference to the fact that instead of fighting or fleeing, sometimes we tend to freeze (like a deer in the headlights) in traumatic situations.

i had to get hit pretty hard to gain self discovery, in the moment of ultimate fear i fight.

so your at the gate about to board the plane. The counter opens and everybody gets up to queue. why though, it’s not as if the plane will lift off faster if your first in line, i just sit and wait until i’m almost the last one before i board, what’s the difference? i get to chill while you stand in line? it doesn’t make sense to me and i’m the only one doing it. Am i the weird one? or is it just the cognitive bias doing its work with the heard mentality. A classic example of no one asking why?

How to improve

You need high quality eyes with high quality standards in order to give you high quality feedback

Don’t give up

Modelling is hard, the reason is you deal with a hell of a lot of rejection.

As i was out on a saturday night hanging with my group of model friends one of them shared some truth with me.

he said to me: Your success in just one year and also it being your first year as a model has proven that it is not the down markets fault we are not getting jobs, the issue lies with us, the models.

You have made it obvious that we as models are the problem

You have proven there is nothing wrong with the market, to start looking at ourselves rather than blaming external issues.

Never give up, not just for yourself but for those who are watching

To prove the impossible is possible so that others may lay down their excuses and move forward onto the proven path you have laid before them for if you can do it why can’t they.

The theory of relativity

According to the theory of relativity, time dilation is a difference in the elapsed time measured by two observers

Just got home out of heavy rain , rain in HK is the worst if you don’t have an umbrella.

This is because rain seperates the population in to those who have and those who don’t

Time seems slower for the umbrella species as they walk slower, unaware of surroundings, dry and safe from the drips or monsoons.

Time slips though your fingers for the species who don’t as you dart and sprint to avoid getting drenched.

I wonder if the relativity of time to oneself and others is due to a lack of empathy

Empathy has been my pillar to my own success when i was a chef, a salesman and now a model in HK

It’s when you have empathy are you then aware of the difference in time relativity perceived by each individual

Empathy allows you to relate, enter their world and save them from the illusion of solitary

maybe?

it works for me, but why?

[wedowhatwedobutwhythough]

be selfless, but first have self so that you may achieve a state of selflessness

I’m a new model in HK

Everyone says i’m doing really well and that my agency really cares about me but that’s because i care about them first

Hey Gav

This is your first post speaking, i’m super excited to see how you feel about this in years to come.

My first thought

Serendipity

i simply stumbled upon the love of questioning everything and the journey of discovering why we do what we do.

it’s through the answers to those questions that give our daily life purpose and understanding in every action we take.

God do i loathe the coupling of ignorance and arrogance

Let me cure this disease with the habit of questioning
