Only way to slow down time

I used to think there was only one way to slow down time but before writing this I was mentioning it to somebody and they disagreed.. they mentioned that you can also slow down time by smoking marijuana...
I cannot comment on that as I have no experience in that area but I have figured out a sure way to slow down time.
This concept came to me when I was reading a newspaper, there was a cartoon and two students were in a classroom talking and the conversation went something like this:

guy number 1:"I have made a new discovery! how to slow down time..."
guy number 2: "how?!?!"
guy number 1: "take a geology class!!"

my take from this//
I realize that when we are having fun, time flies, but when we are working hard or doing something we don't like... time "slows down"


You either want time to slow down or move faster, depending on where you are in your life right now, it is different for most people; those suffering want time to move faster while those enjoying want it to move slower. We can understand why people would feel like this.

I have my own reasons for wanting time to slow down. At the age of 22, I was invincible. I didn't realize I was growing older till about 2 months before my 23rd birthday. I just realized... CRAP. I am turning 23 soon and nothing can change that.... CRAP!!! is how i felt.

I fear growing old for several reasons: responsibilities, children, being accountable for my previous years, having to face regrets, having to make big decisions, and just being looked at as being old...

So to "slow down time" I came up with a list, the basic premise is to INVEST:
spend time doing something that is productive but not neccesarily interesting.
I would say: pick up a book and read
spend some time working out
spend sometime working on your writing
spend time being still. focus on your breathing
spend time journaling


When we slow down time, we get to appreciate the moment and we get to use our time more wisely.

I need to learn to accept defeat

learning to accept defeat.
this is hard...
but it is neccesary.
What does it mean to accept defeat? It means knowing the situations that you need to let go of, knowing what you can handle and what you cannot;
ego is a very big part of me. pride is a very big part of who i am. sometimes i look at myself and say to myself that i stink with pride. it is a flaw... more of a curse than a blessing

a few years ago i was dealing with this girl i didnt really like but cuz she was snobbing me i wanted to pursue her by force just to satisfy my pride. i was not interested in her in anyway but just wanted to get her to like me. i took it personally when she did not and went ahead to curse her out a few weeks after the affair was over. I said to myself "that would teach her... not to mess with me".. yes.. that would teach her.

i acted based on my pride. the things i said to her were hurtful and had no real purpose but to soothen my own ego. by accepting defeat i should have conceived that it is okay, the girl "won" and i could have made my life and hers better by just accepting this and moving on.

there is too much negative out there for you or I to be adding some more.

learn to accept defeat in the right contexts. it makes you a better person
