Why we do what we do, and how we can do it better

Hi guys,

I normally don’t do this, but I just want to share something with you guys. This is something that I listened from a talk @TED. If your never heard of them, then you should Google them. So here’s one talk that can inspire and makes you tick. Quite good talks of technology and mind blowing concepts.

One phrase that caught my mind was“if we get the right emotion, we can get ourselves to do anything” kindda think of it, it’s kindda true.  That’s why I have always have passion in whatever I do. I have passion in my F1 interest, in the musics that I love, in the traveling that I do, in relationships with people, in my work, social life, and also in living my life to the fullest. Sometimes people misunderstand me by being too energetic, too friendly, too flirty or even too frank. Maybe that’s my weakness. Sometimes I realize that I have a problem in communication. People misunderstand me. I’ve this problem which is that whenever I converse in English I kind of use lazy English. That’s the term that I use. So why do I do this? How do I improve this? I’m still figuring it out. LOL. I guest I’ve still yet to find the right emotions for this. hmmm…

Okay, back to the topic. If you guys listen to TED – Why we do what we do, and how we can do it better, He is saying that Humans have 6 Needs. Let me summarize the 6 points from the talk / 6 Human needs ->

1) Certainty – (the 1st 4 is called the needs of the the personalities)

2) Uncertainty

3) Significance

4) Connection of Love

5) The need to grow (The last two is called the needs of the spirit that you must grow)

6) The need to contribute. “Life is not about me but it’s about we” - My summary – In the end, it’ s what people remember of us. The more we give the better.  That’s why I always tend to help people closest to me. I must admit that they are mostly girls because guys don’t reach out or tend to have less appreciation. I’m sorry ^_^ On top of that I’m figuring out on how and what I can do to help others in general. Maybe this blog by sharing my experience and stories might touch some.(if you guys read my objectives in about me you might understand)

so here’s the video, listen to it carefully.(sorry it doesn’t support embedded scripts) – TED – Why we do what we do, and how we can do it better

cheers
