Long Term Saving To The Almighty

Old woman in my office ask me a favor to copy a document in an HP 1310 printer. It’s a cool stuff that printer, copier and scanner, all in one. She could not operate the device. Sometimes she asks me to update her finance document in the PC because she doesn’t know how to type with computer. It’s not a big deal and won’t take time so I do it. But, one of co-worker said,” Why you do what she said? Look at her, sitting nicely in her desk while you’re standing here do a favor for her” He thought I’m a fool naive girl who let myself being a slave. My comment would be that was such a premature smart statement with no deep analysis.

Here the question:
Why I should bother to spend my effort for somebody needs?
The answer is: BECAUSE I CAN

There’s a slot time to help her, my supervisor has no complained coz I have done my job, so nothing to lose.

I have simple philosophy related to the story above.
* If you can, if you have time, or if you have a chance, do a good deed to the world. You don’t have to think hard how to achieve this. There’s always something come along that need your participation even though look small & minor. It’s not about quantity but quality. You don’t have to be UN ambassador like Angelina Jolie, but spend a time to copy a document for an old woman is fine.

* Good deed must go together with sincerity. This is the interesting part. I have tip.
Just like saving money in the bank, I think the same about good deed. I save good deed for God as a long term saving. Pile them as much as you can. This is for your own good in a subtle way. Life is not a science where 1+1=2 or when you help somebody then you hope this somebody own a help to you. No! We live with many possibilities. Good deed with sincerity will bring greater energy that stops by from one people to another to another and another. Then one day, when you need a help, it will come to you, NOT in the hand of someone you’ve helped before. Maybe in the hand of someone you met in the market, in the street, in the mall or in whatsoever. You just never know. That’s the beauty of life. This priceless saving will follow/accompany you not just in this life but on the next life (since I believe in reincarnation).

Back to the story above, on that case, I’m not just preparing/thinking myself for today (i.e. hope the old lady will treat me lunch), but preparing/thinking myself for the future or even for the next life.
So, can that so-called smart guy above think like I think?

Last movie watched: Two For The Money
It’s a story about a guy who has an ability to predict the outcome of softball game. Matthew McConaughey play well here. I like his confident and the way he talk. How amazing, nowadays lots of thing can be professionalized. You can have a career or make a company just by selling advice or picking which team will win/lose the game. The same like insurance, party line, etc.

Seeking for Sleepiness Potion

Off course the natural answer will be “sleep”. But what I’m talking here is not in a natural circumstance. We have enough rest at night, enough energy to face the day, somehow this evil sleepy thing always try to control our consciousness state.

Imagine that you’re in the class and then got boring whether because of the subject, overheat temperature (due to non working AC), or the lecturer is not that appealing and don’t have any sense of humor. As time goes by, your eyes start to feel heavy. Since you respect the lecturer, you’re trying hard not to close the eyes. The more you’re trying to wake up, the heavier you eyes got. Gosh, so suffer and hurt. You start thinking or hallucinate that you might get eyes muscle cancer! And suddenly, you’re fall asleep! Lucky case, nobody notice you. Worst case, get in caught by the lecturer and he made you do something embarrassing.

The point is overloaded boring in whatever condition will make you sleepy.
I do some action to prevent sleepiness/drowsiness. Bring some snack to make my mouth and brain busy by eating them sneakily, read a book, chat with someone who sat beside me (if they’re eager to chat). Apparently, all of those actions are not effective enough.

So, is there any creative or powerful solution to cure sleepiness/drowsiness that I mention above?
I’ll be thankful. To me, this is a serious issue because I’ve been through some embarrassing thing coz of this. Moreover, there is paranoid thinking popped up on my mind which is I might have diabetes.. Oh My God! Could it be? Could it be? (too much commercial watching, i guess....)
