Substitution Method:
When
3y - 2x = 11
y + 2x = 9
It becomes
3y - 2x = 11
y = 9 - 2x
Then
3(9 - 2x) - 2x = 11
And the equations are solved!
(27 - 6x) - 2x = 11
27 - 6x - 2x = 11
27 - 8x = 11
-8x = -16
x = 2
y = 9 - 2(2)
y = 9 - 4
y = 5
When
3y - 2x = 11
y + 2x = 9
It becomes
3y - 2x = 11
y = 9 - 2x
Then
3(9 - 2x) - 2x = 11
And the equations are solved!
(27 - 6x) - 2x = 11
27 - 6x - 2x = 11
27 - 8x = 11
-8x = -16
x = 2
y = 9 - 2(2)
y = 9 - 4
y = 5
I hate mathematics, but this is one simple method that humans are unknowingly incorporating into their lives. To make things easier, they do substitution for products to make their lives go on. And substitutes tend to be more inferior to the actual desired product.
This applies to us humans as well:
The substitution method is used to eliminate one of the variables by replacement when solving a system of equations.
In other words, when one person is away or not gonna be around anymore, one would have to replace the gap of this person's existence to solve the problems and enable a smooth operation of workflow or the normal ongoing of another person's life. In fact, I have been a substitute for so many people in the company, that I wouldn't want to get myself mathematically equationed into my personal life. Blame it on my pride, blame it on my stubbornness, but I do not want to settle as the 2nd best or the alternate way out - that is just too unbearable. Because I am a unique product, to be appreciated for who I am.
Life has made me unsure of many things, I do not know what is the truth and what is not. I learnt to be less trusting, after being hurt again and again. I hate the feeling of being betrayed, which in turn led me to confine myself to my own secret garden. I just couldn't help it but to feel dubious about everything. But I am trying, at least I tried my best to break out of it every now and then. I guess time is the key to solve my problem.
But I did not play anyone out. I'm sorry if you feel that way but I really did not. It's not that you have think too much as well, coz I meant what I have said. I really want you to excel and be someone capable. As much as I would not want to admit, you are still one of the most important people in my life at the moment who understands me.

many surprises lately. good.
peiqi said that i seemed to be alot more toned down than usual nowadays, less hyper than usual, esp when we talk about work. i used to be so chatty whenever i talk about my job, coz i feel so happy to be working - the feeling tt i am actually alive, doing something meaningful and contributing to the company. ok tt was how enthu i was abt my work in the past. now i kinda feel a lil sick of work sometimes. but i could feel that it's improving nowadays.
4 bosses offered me positions.. which I am so glad about! this led me thinking if i shld leave or not.
ok forget about work.
it's the secretaries' week! we were each given a swarovski crystal. not too sure of the price, but heard that they weren't cheap. the company must have spent a bomb on our special lunch in Blu restaurant in Shangri-la hotel and the crystals, not forgetting the crabtree n evelyn gift pack.
got a test tomorrow.. hv not finished studying.. merely started actually. i reli need lotsa luck!

saw this on leng's blog. interesting..
Sarah's Existing Situation
Working to create for herself a firm foundation on which to erect a secure, comfortable, and problem-free future, in which she will be granted respect and recognition.
Sarah's Stress Sources
The situation is regarded as threatening or dangerous. Outraged by the thought that she will be unable to achieve her goals and distressed at the feeling of helplessness to remedy this. Over-extended and feels beset, possibly to the point of nervous prostration.
Sarah's Restrained Characteristics
Exacting in her emotional demands and very particular in her choice of partner. The desire for emotional independence prevents any depth of involvement.
Feels that things stand in her way, that circumstances are forcing her to compromise and forgo some pleasures for the time being.
Sarah's Desired Objective
Longs for sensitive and sympathetic understanding and wants to protect herself against argument, conflict, or any exhausting stresses.
Sarah's Actual Problem
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on her resources. This feeling of powerlessness subjects her to agitation and acute distress. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be.

[::..once bitten, twice shy ..::]
here i am.. once again.. gonna start my nonsense again!
i am just not able to believe, or maybe i don't wanna believe in anything else, or anything more than what i have now. perhaps i feel safer in my own comfort zone that i wouldn't wanna incorporate any major changes into my life. i've gradually grown to accept facts and reality that i had become rather retarded to any changes. i realized that it has came to a point that i don't even know what i am doing, or what do i exactly want. i desperately needed a direction, some help as to what i'm going through now. but then again, i don't feel like talking about it to anyone. maybe the problems will just disappear as time goes by, and things will turn out as before. ha! what has happened to the tough old me? the one who knows what she wants in her life, what she aims to achieve in life. i have been evading from all my problems nowadays. i don't feel like facing anything when my life is full of uncertainties. i feel like such a loser all of a sudden. and as the saying goes.. once bitten, twice shy. i wouldn't wanna encounter any more of those unhappy incidents that happened to me in the past. there were times when i felt so so upset yet there was nothing i could do, and i could only resort to crying. ahhhh.. forget it. i'm crapping.
