Sharing psychology quotes which I like

1. [Psychoanalysis] is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist. ~Karen Horney, Our Inner Conflicts, 1945

2. The hypothalamus is one of the most important parts of the brain, involved in many kinds of motivation, among other functions. The hypothalamus controls the "Four F's": fighting, fleeing, feeding, and mating. ~Marvin Dunnette


3. A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world. ~Paul Dudley White


4. The aim of psychoanalysis is to relieve people of their neurotic unhappiness so that they can be normally unhappy. ~Sigmund Freud, attributed


5. A psychiatrist asks a lot of expensive questions your wife asks for nothing. ~Joey Adams


6. The sun is nature's Prozac. ~Astrid Alauda, 1990


7. If my devils are to leave me, I am afraid my angels will take flight as well. ~Rainer Maria Rilke, on leaving psychotherapy


Here's one funny joke I came upon.

Felt so 'Wei Qu'

Both mother & myself invited to Parents' Day held at Joy Garden at Jurong SAFRA tdy. We were ushered to our VIP seats. Back to our seats after taking photos at the main entrance, we were told to shift seats to another table & then changed again.

Organiser brought us to the table with indians, "no bias against any race thou" & the seats so cramped & no one really mke way for us to walk in to our seats. They started to speak in their languages & eyes staring at us. I felt so angry & "wei qu" as organiser kept telling us to shift seats & tables. FELT SO LEFT OUT!

We wanna leave, I cried out! Mother called for Roland, if no seats, never mind, we'll just leave will do. Instead of just anyhow 'chuck us' to a table. Roland gave us the 'heng wu nai' expression, wanting us to stay on.

Later, we were arranged to a table with chinese. No more next time, wont be attending such event. Poor co-ordination of table arrangements. There were 2 EMPTY tables with most tables having 6-8  pax.

Actually, I was looking forward to this event happily but such a wet blanket. :'(
