Self-improvement

You're already perfect, yet you can always be better.
_
improvement
/ɪmˈpruːvm(ə)nt/
noun
an example or action of of improving or being improved; a thing that makes something better or is better than something else
_

The ultimate goal of self-improvement is to reach the state or point where you no longer feel the persistent need to improve yourself. Self-improvement, therefore, seems to be self-defeating.

The point of improving yourself is to make yourself better than you were before, or in some cases, better than someone else. However, implicit to improving yourself is actually the assumption that there something inherently wrong with you and the way that you're living right now. 

Thus, obsessively indulging in self-help material and incessantly chasing self-improvement might just feed the feeling of inadequacy; if we keep chasing improvement, we sometimes overlook the progress that we have made.

The mental health conundrum, briefly

According to an article published on 4 August 2020, the Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) reports that suicide remains the leading cause of death among people aged 10-29 in Singapore, adding that the number of suicides among the 20-29 age cohort remain the highest compared to other age groups.  You know we live in a first world country when the leading cause of death for your youth is suicides and not preventable infectious diseases. Credit where due, every school in Singapore today has a full-time school counselor. In fact, our school had three counselors at the start of this year, two of whom were here on a contractual basis whose duration of commitment have since elapsed and they are no longer attached to our school.  Recently we had a mental health wellness seminar for a CCE (Character and Citizenship Education) lesson in school, wherein the speaker shared with us statistics and studies regarding the importance of sleep or having a balanced diet. In addition, we were introduce...

Deconstructing FOMO

Clarification: This is an opinion piece and not a factually researched article. Definitions and lines of reasoning presented herein are largely my own. _ FOMO /ˈfəʊməʊ/ noun  anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere, often aroused by posts seen on social media. _ FOMO, the Fear Of Missing Out, refers to the knowledge that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening not involving one but involving one's counterparts that leads to an anxiety or fear of being deprived of the positive experiences that said counterparts or peers are encountering in the given moment. It is one of those weird phrases that has only entered the common lexicon in recent times, and not only already seems dated, but also has an implied negative connotation. However, perhaps the aforementioned criteria are not enough to fully define the circumstances in which FOMO manifests itself. To illustrate, if a gazillionare builds a fleet of automated humanoid dro...

Reviewed: The 10-point Rating System

The 10-point Rating System In The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green, Green writes his thoughts on the format of the review: “Booklist reviews were limited to 175 words, which meant each sentence must work multiple jobs. Every review had to introduce a book while also analysing it. Your compliments needed to live right alongside your concerns”.  In many ways, this is what I attempt to do here– except that we get a slightly more generous 2200 characters on Instagram, which converts to about 400 words. Recently, in my capacity as a resource panel member, I’d had the opportunity to review and user-test some new toolkits on designing ground-up projects for public health. After about an hour of giving our opinions on the various aspects, we were asked to offer a rating out of 10. The 10-point rating scale doesn’t exist for humans; it exists for data aggregation systems. Everyone's experience is different and thus fundamentally incommensurable. But it is almost impossible to quantify ex...
