BIggest enemy

Half a century ago, our enemies were the foreign conquerors. They invade the land, in search of gold, glory and gospel. They came with ships, massive troops of army, emblazoned with sophisticated weaponry. The keris and daggers were no match to those superior armament.

Then, came the period when having foreign products in the household were thought to be cool. Imported goods invaded our household to the point we were programmed to accept that foreign is better than local.

A decade ago, a new form of invasion to detroy other nations became agregarious. Money speculation became the main topic of the day. Only then, people began to realise that the conventional financial system is full of flaws. They trade on speculations, debts, fictitious debits and even non tangible goods in exchange for credits. Today, people are talking on the need to trade in gold and having real physical assets. The war against economic control of other nations and getting out of the vicious cycle is on going but slowly.

On an individual scale, one of the worst enemy we would have to deal with is procrastination. It is the worst of all thieves. Everything gets delayed when procrastination sets in. One of the causes of procrastination is distraction. Easily said than done, focus and self discipline will help to overcome this disease.

Lack of motivation can be a huge problem too. Can it be due to burn out? Really, this is dangerous. Sustaining motivation can be overwhelming. How can we find the motivation for motivation itself?

I wish there are some pills or supplement that can change the biochemistry of the brain to overcome this enemy within.

What are your enemies?
