Procrastination, my weakness. One great weakness of mine is Procrastination, which means that I tend to put off important things until it's almost too late, thus in some cases it can lead to bad results. I remembered that when I was in primary school, during every summer and winter holidays, I always avoided to work on my assignment until just few days before the beginning of the next term, and then just finished it very hastily. I had read few psychological articles about this, and it is said that my particular type of procrastination is caused by inappropriate judgement of self-worth and lack of ability in handling failures. People with this type of issue think the result of their action indicates their abilities and further more represents their self-worth. By postponing the action, they would consider that the connection between ability and result is broken, because they can blame not getting enough time for any bad result. Procrastination is also a type of Self-Handicapping, which means people set obstacles to themselves to prevent success because of the fear of failure. Long story short, some people who believe that the result of their action is equal to their self-worth are so afraid of failure that they tend to find or make any excuse to blame on, one of the excuses is limited time which can be easily approached by just waiting and doing nothing - procrastination. I know that if an entry is too long there won't be anyone want to correct it, or even read it through. But I still hope you can read this and leave some comment. It's the first time I figure out this issue of mine, and I would very much like to discuss with you.

My daughter's birthday. Today is my daughter's second birthday! I can't wait to go home and celebrate together with her and my wife. My commute is quite long, about one and a half hour, so I would probably punch out early today. She still can't talk yet, which many people think it quite late, but I guess that's ok, for she understands quite a lot what people say. She sometimes practices when she's in good mood, mumbling words that nobody else understands. We've been teaching her to answer "two" when someone is asking for her age. She used to answer "eeei", which sounds a little like "one" in Chinese, and put up her index finger to indicate too. Now she can almost remember to answer "aaah" and put up two fingers. I believe now she would have just had her nap, and my wife is going to take her to a small fun fair near home and play sand there. Later on when I get back, we will meet at IKEA which had just opened two weeks ago near the subway station. She had been there once at the day of the opening, and she loved the place very much.
