Little notes - 2020/09/21

Today is the second day since I started my schedule to change my habits. This morning I woke up before 6am. I recited the Sutra of Amitabha, recited the name of Amitabha Buddha. And then I read a Vietnamese book. It is not bad, but I think it is better if I can translate or read the UML book because I have to host a meeting related to the contents of two chapters in that book next week. 

After that, I went to the bathroom to do personal hygiene. Then I had breakfast before I started working. I planned to finish the coverage working document early and spend 45 minutes to learn Vim and 1 hour to learn Python, but I did not complete my plan. I just had enough time to learn Vim and did not have any time to learn Python. 

I rested for 25 minutes after work. Then I went to the park near my apartment for a walk. During walking, I had a chat with my girlfriend. I came back to my apartment at around 6:30pm. I prepared my dinner and finished my dinner at around 7:30pm. Because I had a little time for Vim after work, so I spent 30 minutes after dinner for investigating some Vim features. Then I translated the UML book to my mother tongue. I learned some vocabulary such as "bit by bit", "as it turns out", "hard and fast", "by no means", "conceptual", "frame of mind" or "make a fuss of/about sb/sth". It sounds good for me today. I know that it is difficult to change immediately, but gradually, I hope I will get better. 

I would like to send good wishes to my family, my friends, and everyone on this planet. 

Little notes - 2020-09-20

 It was 4 months since the first note was published. It is not good. I have to change my bad habits. Honestly, I have many bad habits. I spent too much time on social networks, but it is not worth it at all. It made me do not have enough time for improving my English skills, learning Swedish, or improve my professional skills. It also made me do not have enough time for practicing what I have to do in Buddism. 

I also do not have enough time for my family when I spent to much time on social networks. I also do not have time for exercising. Those are some rationales that I have to change my bad habits. I have to give them up if I would like to be better in the future. 

Currently, I have to do many things. I have to improve my knowledge about Python, Tcl programming languages. I have to improve my knowledge about the tools that I used in my work such as VCS, formal tools (VCF, VC Static), or Certitude. I have to improve my knowledge of the verification process in my company. I cannot receive a salary without enough responsibility.  

At first, I will change my schedule, I will go to bed early, at 11pm or earlier. I will wake up earlier and spent 1 hour in the early morning practicing the teachings in my religion. I will spend time reading English books. From now to 2nd October, I have to read at least 100 pages of the book. I have to focus on it. I hope I can do it and I have to do it anyway.
