Life isn't always as bright as we may have thought. I started focusing my time on learning; I enrolled in a class at college for management study and attended a few more meetup groups in Valley. Lately, I found there were many aged persons like me who were active in participating events. I enjoyed the conversations with young guys and so-called "hackers", persons who see themselves a software freelance working on apps and writing codes and always show their coolness.
Quantified Self (QS) is a new movement and a heated topic. I learned from a few case studies presented by enthusiasts about how to quantify personal health and wellness in hope to better manage personal life. The concept of self-tracking is not new, but is changing the way we think best for us. With certain tools used on mobile and Internet, one can get cumulative data to compare and analyze co-relationships of personal activities, such as taking exercise, diet, managing sleep. Wellness is part of God's gift, yet we often abuse our life to be distracted down. How we reverse back to the origin is the way how we should monitor and track our daily activities so as to end up with balanced results. Illness comes primarily because we do not care for ourselves well. Eating too much is a killer to our health, while sugar can be seriously harmful.
Self quantification requires motivation that connects God's plan on us. When all things work together for good, those who are blessed must sustain good health in mental and in physical.
Remark:
I was encouraged by those who presented their own self-experiments at the Quantified Self (QS) meetup conducted at Google in Mountain View, California.
