Do You Make These 10 Common Mistakes When You Think?
by Henrik Edberg
”The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
Albert Einstein
“It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.”
William Shakespeare
“Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too.”
Voltaire
Your thoughts are incredibly powerful. This can be an awesome thing.
It can also be a thing that cripples you, paralyses you, causes much suffering and gets you stuck instead of getting you to move forward towards a better and more positive life.
In this article I’ll explore 10 common mistakes I have made many times – and still do from time to time – and what I have done about them to improve the way I use my mind.
1. You overthink.
I used to be a chronic overthinker. This makes taking action very hard, you analyze small things until they become big and scary in your head and in general overthinking things always leads to a negative view of those things.
I have however successfully reduced or almost eliminated overthinking in my life. It did take time, but on the other hand you are in the company of your mind each day so you might as well start working on a better relationship between the both of you.
What to do about it: How did I do it? The most important thing was that I focused a big part of a year in my personal development on reading/listening to books by Eckhart Tolle like Stillness Speaks, A New Earth and The Sun Will Also Die and establishing a habit of being in the present moment.
I listened to those books over and over on my mp3 player while out walking, while riding the bus and so on. This had two big benefits: I was very focused on his advice and it popped up in my head during the day which made it easier to stay aware of though patterns and Tolle became a sort positive influence in my weekly life. Just like a friend can influence you with his/her positive, negative or ambitious attitude and vibe.
There is a chapter in my free ebook “The 7 Timeless Habits of Happiness” about living in the present moment so check it out if you haven’t already.
Practice being present and it becomes a lot easier to minimize overthinking and to use thinking as a tool rather than letting thoughts control you.
Set short deadlines for decisions. Another tip is to start using deadlines. Instead of thinking about something for days, tell yourself that you have – for example – 30 minutes to think. Then you will make a decision. I also use even shorter deadlines for smaller, daily decisions. I don’t sit around thinking about decisions like if I should exercise, make a phone call, try some new food or anything where I may feel a bit of resistance from within. Instead as soon as I think about it I make a decision to do it within seconds and start moving.
I have found this to be a good way to become more decisive instead of falling into the paralyzing trap of overthinking.
2. You see things in black and white.
Instead of seeing life as it is, somewhat messy, you see things in black and white. You are right and someone else is wrong. This way is good and that way is bad. Things are either this way or that way and there no exceptions or gray areas.
This makes it harder to make sense out of things, to take action in the right way and can be a way of thinking that makes you more and more inflexible as time passes. You get stuck and you put barriers in your mind and life and this creates a lot more unhappiness and suffering than necessary.
What to do about it:
Try to understand the other side. It’s easy to stick to your point of view. But you can gain powerful insights about the other person and yourself too by trying to understand their point of view. This also tends to decrease harshness and negativity and can make it easier to reach an understanding where both parties feel more satisfied with the solution.
Be aware. Like with any mistake in this article, just being aware and paying attention during your normal day can help you to discover and reduce these thought patterns by stopping that thread of thought and then changing what you focus on.
Be OK with not having to be so smart and right all the time. It won’t kill you but can instead in my experience be the more helpful choice in the longer run. You tend to become more relaxed and feel better about yourself and your world if you make that choice.
3. You think the world is revolving around you.
You fall into the trap of worrying about what people may think and let that paralyze you from taking action. Or simply become too self-conscious or too focused on yourself in conversations and relationships.
What to do about it:
Be aware. Perhaps use a post-it on your bath room mirror or fridge to remind yourself each morning.
Act as you would like to feel. Use this when you feel self-conscious and like everyone’s attention is focused on you. In such situation or on such days act as if the world doesn’t revolve around you and people don’t care that much about what you do. After a while and after taking action you will actually start to feel that way for real because experience hands your mind proof that this is indeed the truth.
Focus outward. Instead of thinking about yourself and how people may perceive you all the time, focus outward on the people around you. Listen to them and help them. This will make you feel better about yourself and help you to reduce that self-centered focus.
4. You generalize yourself and your world.
You may tell yourself: “I’m this and that person just because I’ve done this. Or failed at that.” Just because you’ve failed with your 30 day challenge to exercise each day doesn’t mean that you can’t be a person who succeeds with that.
Maybe a few people in the real world don’t get along that well with you. They may not like you. It’s important to not let those few people dictate how you view what others think of you.
Or you may generalize because of one event or action. But what other people say about you or to you is often more of a reflection of them rather than you. Maybe they are having a bad day, week or year. Maybe their pet was run over. Maybe they are having a conflict with a family member or friend. You don’t know what’s going on in people’s lives. But since we tend to be a bit self-centred we may interpret what someone is saying as being about us and that this one action or event represents this person.
What to do about it: Realize that the past is the past and just because you weren’t that good at something in fifth grade doesn’t mean that it is the person you are now or that you couldn’t become good at that thing now. You may find that parts of your self-image that you thought were accurate are just based on a few things that you did or that happened to you in the past.
When you examine those beliefs you may realize that they aren’t really that well-grounded as you had imagined. They are more like a house of cards rather than a house made of bricks. Just because you’ve failed a few times or made a few mistakes doesn’t mean that you are such a person. It is just stuff that happened.
And again, try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes. Remember that one event or action is not always the full picture and try to understand and form a more complex picture. And don’t make too big of a business out of a few people that you don’t see eye to eye with. That’s OK and just life.
5. You look for problems even when there are none.
This is a weird one. I have found myself looking for problems even when there are none really. I think in part comes from snapping back into your old mindset. I used to be much more negative and see problems everywhere for many years. So the mind is conditioned to operate that way and so used to it. So on some days you sit around and suddenly realize while thinking that you are looking for a problem in a situation or area of your life where there are none.
What to do about it: I have written “There is no problem” on my white board on my wall to remind me each day.
If I am faced with what I start thinking is a problem I ask myself: who cares? I most often then realize that this isn’t really a problem in the long run at all.
I also think this can come from thinking a bit too much about personal development and working on that. You become so accustomed to looking for solutions that your mind wants to find problems that it can solve. This personal development stuff is awesome. But read about and think about it in moderation and not all the time.
6. You are addicted to your comfort zone.
If you are always thinking about how to feel and be really, really safe then making a positive change will be impossible. The unknown and change is uncomfortable and scary to the mind because it tends to want your existence to be stable and continue to be as it has been so far.
What to do about it:
Be curious. When you are stuck in a bit of fear, when you get stuck in your comfort zone then you are closed up. Curiosity on the other hand is filled with anticipation and enthusiasm. It opens you up. And when you are open and enthusiastic then you have more fun things to think about than focusing on your fear.
Do it in small steps. What holds us back in our zone of comfort is often a fear or that facing that fear head on might be overwhelming. Doing things in small steps allows you to stretch your comfort zone and slowly making it less uncomfortable and frightening.
Focus on the positive past. Realize it can be fun to get out of your comfort zone despite what your mind and feelings might be telling you before you get started. Think back to the previous times when you have broken out of your comfort zone. Focus on the positive memories, when you got out there, when you took a chance. And you will probably remember that it wasn’t so bad, it was actually fun and exciting and something new to you.
Accept that it will be uncomfortable. Even if you do the things above it can still be uncomfortable to step out of your comfort zone. If that is the case, accept it. That discomfort will be temporary and you can always take action and just do it even though you may not fully feel like it. The thing is if you accept that the discomfort is just there then it tends to become smaller or not so significant.
7. You think about yourself as a victim.
One big problem a lot of people have is that they slip into thinking of themselves as victims that have little or no control over their lives. In this headspace you feel sorry for yourself, the world seems to be against you and you get stuck. Little to no action is taken and you get lost in a funk of sadness and self-pity.
What to do about it:
Know the benefits of a victim mentality. There are a few benefits of the victim mentality.
You can always get attention, validation and good feelings from other people as they are concerned about you and try to help you out. When you feel like a victim you tend to not take action and then you don’t have to risk for example rejection or failure. Taking responsibility for you own life can be hard work, you have to make difficult decisions and it is just heavy sometimes. In the short term it can feel like the easier choice to feel like a victim and not take personal responsibility. And when you feel like the victim and like everyone else – or just someone else – is wrong and you are right then that can lead to pleasurable feelings.
In my experience, by just being aware of the benefits I can derive from victim thinking it becomes easier to say no to that and to choose to take a different path.
Be ok with not being the victim. So to break out of that mentality you have to give up the benefits above. You might also experience a sort of emptiness within when you let go of victim thinking. You may have spent hours each week with thinking and talking about how wrong things have gone for you in life. Or how people have wronged you and how you could get some revenge or triumph over them.
Now you have to fill your life with new thinking and that may feel uncomfortable because it is not so intimately familiar as the victim thinking you have been engaging in for years.
Take responsibility for your life. Why do people often have self-esteem problems? I’d say that one of the big reasons is that they don’t take responsibility for their lives. Instead someone else is blamed for the bad things that happen and a victim mentality is created and empowered. This damages many vital parts in your life. Stuff like relationships, ambitions and achievements. That hurt will not stop until you wise up and take responsibility for your life. There is really no way around it.
8. You think that what you feel now is just how it is.
One big mistake that I have made many times is to think what you feel right now is kinda permanent. That it is how you really feel about things and will feel in the near future too. However, it is really hard to predict how you will feel just an hour or 15 minutes from now. The mind fools you as you identify with the emotions you are feeling right now. This can really hold you back.
What to do about it:
Use and strengthen your discipline muscle. You may for example not feel like going to the gym today. Your mind might say “It’s ok, you don’t need that anyway, you were there three days ago”. And so you lie back on the couch. But you can also say to yourself “No, today is workout day and I will go even though I don’t feel like it/don’t think I need to right now”. And so you go. And after you have been there for maybe 15 minutes you start to enjoy it and you’re glad you went.
Just be aware that your mind doesn’t always want what you know is the right thing to do. The mind often tries to get us to choose the easiest option in our daily lives. It makes it seem like what you feel now is reality. Even though emotional states are fleeting and you can change them around in just a few minutes or hours by going to that gym.
9. You compare yourself to other people.
One thing that can cause quite a bit of low self-esteem, frustration and unhappiness is comparing yourself to other people and their lives. You compare cars, houses, jobs, shoes, money, relationships, social popularity and so on.
What to do about it:
Be kind. The way you behave and think towards others has a big, big effect on how you behave towards yourself and think about yourself. Judge people more and you tend to judge yourself more. Be more kind to other people and help them and you tend to be more kind and helpful to yourself. You become more OK with yourself and the people in your world instead of ranking them and yourself and creating differences in your mind.
Just realize that you can’t win. Just consciously realizing this can be helpful. No matter what you do you can pretty much always find someone else in the world that has more than you or are better than you at something.
Compare yourself to yourself. Instead of comparing yourself to other people create the habit of comparing yourself to yourself. See how much you have grown, what you have achieved and what progress you have made towards your goals. This habit has the benefit of creating gratitude, appreciation and kindness towards yourself as you observe how far you have come, the obstacles you have overcome and the good stuff you have done. You feel good about yourself without having to think less of other people.
10. You think you already know how things work.
If you think that you already know something then your mind will not be open to actually learning it. Whatever someone is telling you, your mind will sort through based on what you think you know. You’ll only hear and learn what you what you want to hear and learn.
What to do about it: Whenever you want to learn anything it may be a good tip to disregard as much as possible of what you think you know. Keep your mind as open as you can. In my experience this makes it easier to pick things up and not disregard important stuff.
Of course, the ego often wants to jump in to meddle and strengthen itself by making you think that you already know whatever you’re about to learn. Be careful in trusting that somewhat arrogant inner voice.

How to Stay Awake in Boring Meetings
BY Fast Company staffTue Apr 25, 2006
This just popped up in my inbox…
___
Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls? Here’s a way to change all of that.
1. Before (or during) the next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5″ x 5″ is a good size. Divide the card into columns-five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks.
2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
Synergy, strategic fit, core competencies, best practice, bottom line, revisit, expeditious, to tell you the truth (or “the truth is), 24/7, out of the loop, benchmark, value-added, proactive, win-win, think outside the box, fast track, result-driven, knowledge base, at the end of the day, touch base, mindset, client focus(ed), paradigm, game plan, leverage.
3. Now check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.
4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally stand up and shout “BULLSHIT!”

“The atmosphere was tense in the last process meeting as 14 of us waited for the fifth box.” – Ben G., Denver

Tackle Any Issue With a List of 100
Posted by: deefay on: July 7, 2010
Tackle Any Issue With a List of 100
The List of 100 is a powerful technique you can use to generate ideas, clarify your thoughts, uncover hidden problems or get solutions to any specific questions you’re interested in.
The technique is very simple in principle: state your issue or question in the top of a blank sheet of paper and come up with a list of one hundred answers or solutions about it. “100 Ways to Generate Income”, “100 Ways to be More Creative” or “100 Ways to Improve my Relationships” are some examples.
“One hundred entries? Isn’t that way too many?”
Bear with me: it’s exactly this exaggeration that makes the technique powerful.
When starting your list you may believe that there’s no way to get it done. But then, at some point during the exercise, you will naturally have your subconscious mind naturally engaged in the process. That’s when you will uncover many new and surprising answers, and ideas will start flowing again. Making a List of 100 is a beautifully articulated cooperation between the conscious and subconscious minds tackling one single problem.
Unlike the related Idea Quota tool — whose primary goal is to acquire the habit of coming up with ideas — the goal of a List of 100 is to take your mind by surprise. While both techniques are based on the concept of getting good ideas from lots of ideas, the ideas generated by each method are usually different in kind. With the Idea Quota you tend to have more elaborate ideas, because you have time to incubate them throughout the day (often without being aware of it). With a List of 100 you tend to get more unexpected ideas, because you catch your subconscious off guard, not giving it any time for its behind-the-scenes editing.
Ground Rules
There are only two simple principles to keep in mind when making Lists of 100:
1. Do it at one sitting
This is the one crucial element for the technique to work. If you end up doing your hundred entries, though over many sessions, you’ll defeat the point of the technique. Before starting your list, make yourself comfortable and try to block all potential interruptions.
2. Eliminate distractions
Just like most brainstorming techniques, you should strive to eliminate all activities unrelated to idea generation during the brainstorming session. Just focus on getting the ideas out of your head as quickly as possible following these rules:
- Don’t judge or evaluate ideas; you’ll review them later.
- Don’t write complete words or sentences if that slows you down.
- Don’t stop to wonder how far in the list you are; number the lines from 1 to 100 in advance or use numbered lists if you’re using a word processor.
- Don’t worry too much about repeating entries; duplicates can shed light on your patterns of thought.
The Dynamics of Making Lists of 100
To understand why creating a List of 100 works, consider what happens during the process of making one. There are three distinct phases you will usually go through when making your list:
1. First 30 entries or so: where you escape circular thinking
The first items are the easiest to come up with. In this first phase, your conscious mind is still in charge and you’ll most probably just dump ideas you’re already familiar with.
2. Next 40 entries: where patterns emerge
In this phase you’ll start noticing recurring themes and patterns of thought. Phase two is usually the hardest one, as you may find it difficult to let go of the ideas you had in the first phase in order to come up with new, distinct ones.
Bear in mind that it’s exactly this struggle that enables you to get to the third and most fruitful phase, hence the importance of not giving up at this point.
3. Last 30 entries: where the gems are
At this point you will already have exhausted most “logical” answers, allowing your subconscious mind to express itself more freely. Don’t be surprised if you get at least one or two really nonsensical or seemingly illogical entries. You may feel tempted to not write them down (“How on earth did I think that?”). Write them down anyway: these wacky entries may sound far from profound, but it’s exactly those items you’re after.
Also, after coming up with so many entries, it’s not rare to experience a shift in perspective: items that you first felt as being awkward will seem to better fit now than when you started the list. Moreover, your whole attitude towards the problem can change as you develop your entries: you may even come to the conclusion that you should be dealing with a different list topic altogether.
Applications of Lists of 100
Although I have known a variation of the List of 100 technique for several years (thanks to Michael Gelb’s How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci), it was only recently that I realized the technique’s full potential by reading Kathleen Adams’s Journal to the Self: 22 Paths to Personal Growth. This is an excellent book that has many great journaling techniques — and the List of 100 has its own chapter.
The List of 100 technique can be used for a lot more than solving specific problems; it is a general-purpose personal development tool that can help increase your self-knowledge, motivate yourself, and much more. To illustrate its myriad of uses, find below a List of 100 Lists of 100. The list was mostly taken from Journal to the Self, and slightly adapted with some of my own ideas.

Comp Sci: Big O Notation
Posted by: deefay on: June 4, 2010
An algorithm is said to be constant time (also written as O(1) time) if the value of T(n) is bounded by a value that does not depend on the size of the input. For example, accessing any single element in an array takes constant time as only one operation has to be performed to locate it. However, finding the minimal value in an unordered array is not a constant time operation as a scan over each element in the array is needed in order to determine the minimal value. Hence it is a linear time operation, taking O(n) time (unless some more efficient algorithm is devised, for example, a binary search across a sorted array). If the number of elements is known in advance and does not change, however, such an algorithm can still be said to run in constant time.
Despite the name “constant time”, the running time does not have to be independent of the problem size, but an upper bound for the running time has to be bounded independently of the problem size. For example, the task “exchange the values of a and b if necessary so that a≤b” is called constant time even though the time may depend on whether or not it is already true that a ≤ b. However, there is some constant t such that the time required is always at most t.
In many cases, the n · log n running time is simply the result of performing a Θ(log n) operation n times. For example, Binary tree sort creates a Binary tree by inserting each element of the n-sized array one by one. Since the insert operation on a self-balancing binary search tree takes O(log n) time, the entire algorithm takes linearithmic time.

If you live with him, he won’t find time to go down the aisle. Sagittarius men dread the thought of a tuxedo, and the stares from wedding guests. You will have to drag your Sagittarius male to the altar!
How To Date A Capricorn Female December 22 – January 20 – Capricorn
- If you are dating a Capricorn female, take her to dinner at the best restaurant in town, arrive in a limousine with flowers. Dress in your designer clothes, and be impeccable. Pinstripes and subtle scents arouse her. Be successful at whatever you are undertaking. Let her know about it. It’s ok, to tell her you made two million last year.
- Don’t be cheap. Tell her you have been saving yourself for the right woman, and that you have been working your buns off , to build your empire. Tell her you need someone to share this big business burden with, and that your thoughts are about expanding your business.
- Hint that a woman, would be perfect as a manager in your new expansion. She will be so intrigued, that she will offer you sound business suggestions. She is SMART! Capricorn females won’t compete with you, they’ll help climb the ladder.
- Don’t forget about her.She loves expensive presents with thought behind them. Her little “black book” is filled with business appointments, not telephone numbers. Capricorn women are almost always successful in whatever they undertake.
- They don’t take enough time to eat, so take her to lunch, dinner and your next corporate meeting. Business thrills them. She may seem cold emotionally, but don’t be fooled. She has those sexual infernos, looking for a release! She does not trust men entirely, so don’t give her the bums rush, or you will be part of the homeless.
- She would be a great wife to a success oriented man. She can entertain your clients, and friends. Capricorn females, can be boss in marriage too. Be prepared to be hen-pecked, if you are thinking marriage!
How To Date A Capricorn Male December 22 – January 20 – Capricorn
- If you are dating a Capricorn male, plan on doing most of the talking. He will take you to places with class and ambience. He will pick you up in his black, luxury car. You will be treated like a lady. Therefore, you should let him open the doors, etc.
- Dress in style, but be sure you show some cleavage. Still waters run deep with Capricorn males. Your first dates will seem like business meetings, but eventually you will get to know him. He is insecure about his emotions and likes to keep them under control. Of course, he won’t make this obvious.
- Compliment him on his achievements and he will open up to you. He would be strict as a parent, and holds very traditional beliefs about relationships. Don’t be an airhead or aimless. He appreciates a hard working woman, whom he can consider an equal.
- He does not know how to play,so you will have to lighten him up with your humorous antics and fun loving side. Once your Capricorn man commits, he will not leave you.
- Divorce is a nasty word in his vocabulary. Capricorn males make good husbands and bread winners. They are extravagant with gifts to those whom they love. Marriage will have to be his idea, not yours!
How To Date An Aquarius Female January 21 – Febraury 19 – Aquarius
- If you are dating an Aquarius female, arrive in your restored classic. Wear a funky hat and clothes that shouldn’t go together, but somehow do. Take her to an out of the way coffee house, featuring jazz. Feel free to discuss anything and everything.
- She is an intelligent listener, and will have some bizarre insight of her own. You’ll never truly understand her, so bring a tape recorder for instant replay to sort it out later. Aquarius women are unusual, not necessarily hippies, but aware of the entire globe.
- She won’t be ready to jump in the sack on the first date, she has to get to know you . Be fascinating, tell her that you are going to Spain to run with the bulls. Explain your philosophy on combining chemicals to combat radiation.
- Tell her about your thesis which was published in the “International Who Dunnit Magazine”. Don’t tell her you are in love with her too soon. You will know when she has taken a strong liking to you.
- That is when your Aquarius female will invite you to her abode. Then you will see the real Aquarius female. There will be many unusual pictures, and books. There is a story connected to all of her belongings.
- When your Aquarius female commits to you, she will not necessarily be ready for marriage. That is just her way of saying she likes you. You must have like minds, or there will be no future Mrs. Anybody!
How To Date A Aquarius Male January 21 – Febraury 19 – Aquarius
- If you are dating an Aquarius male, consider yourself lucky to even get the first date. Aquarius males don’t date much. They would rather be an observer, hanging out on the scene. He would prefer to go to your house and have long talks into the night, and possibly just stay over.
- He may tell you that he just video taped an erotica video featuring wild animals at the zoo with some vacationing starlets. He may stay at your house, never cook or clean, but just be there, when you come home from work. Then one day, without warning, he will be gone.
- If he is employed, he can be quite selfish with his money. He likes his freedom, in every way. Eventually he will call you,…..expect the unexpected with Aquarius. When Aquarius males fall in love, it is usually with omeone who is intellectual,self-sufficient, and childless.
- Have a deep purpose or goal in life and he will be attracted to your dreams. Aquarius males will marry, but they usually marry the wrong person the first time, and shy away from second marriages
- They love their mental freedom. Nagging won’t change them. He won’t care what race you are, how much you weigh, etc. Mind altering drugs can ruin an Aquarian male for marriage completely. If he is more holistic, then he is searching for a soul mate. Love yourself and your Aquarius male will too!
How To Date A Pisces Female Febraury 20 – Pisces
- If you are dating a Pisces female, take her to a psychic far, art gallery, or out for cocktails. Don’t take her to the animal shelter, or you will have a new pet. You can wear anything you like, and you get to make all the decisions.
- She prefers men with a passion about something, just believe in it. Music is one of her favorites and dancing is definitely a must. If you can’t dance, take lessons. Pisces females don’t care if you are good looking, just have a heart.
- A sense of humor is an asset, she has one too. She has no confidence in herself, so support her in her dreams. She falls in love easily.
- Don’t promise her a rose garden, if you don’t mean it. When you go to the movies, take tissues. It does not matter what the movie is about, she will inevitable cry, when something touches her.
- Pisces females love everyone, even if they treated her badly. She hates to see pain, but can drown in her own. Cheer her up, be a positive kind of guy, and be romantic. Encourage her to not live in your shadow, but to have her own life. Yes, your Pisces woman will marry you. Pisces females have a hard time saying “No “.

Binary vs. Linear Search (Credits: ??)
User #26362 933 posts
^critter
Whirlpool EnthusiastI don’t much about them in C++ terms, but in generic terms:
Linear search searches sequentially – it goes through your array of items one by one and match it with the your search pattern.
Eg – you have array { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 } and you want to find 5.
You look at 1 then 2 then 3 then 4, then you find 5.
It has a worst case scalability of O(n)Binary search searches through a SORTED array. First it starts at the middle. If the thing you’re finding is “larger” than the thing at the middle, you “eliminate” the left side and look at the right side. On the left side of array, you find the middle item. You repeat the process – until you find what you’re looking for.
Eg – you have array { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 } and you want to find 5.
You take the middle item, 4.
Since 5>4, look at the right side { 5,6,7 } and find its middle item, which is 6.
Since 5<6, you at the left side of 6 – then you’ve found 5.
Binary search has worst case scalability of O(log n).So in other words, the binary search algorithm is more efficient, but needs the array to be sorted.
BinarySearch(A[0..N-1], value, low, high) {
if (high < low)
return -1 // not found
mid = low + ((high - low) / 2)
if (A[mid] > value)
return BinarySearch(A, value, low, mid-1)
else if (A[mid] < value)
return BinarySearch(A, value, mid+1, high)
else
return mid // found
}

“TVXQ’s Yunho to train in Los Angeles for Michael Jackson tribute concert
by lilchoiboy18 on February 18, 2010 @ 3:08 AM (EST) · 67 comments
It’s been reported that Yunho of TVXQ will be part of the Korea leg of the posthumous concert This Is It dedicated to legendary icon Michael Jackson. Of course, for this concert, Yunho can’t stay in Korea / Japan for TVXQ promotions and will be heading to the United States!
Set to leave for Los Angeles in March, he will improve on his singing and dancing while working with the “This Is It” team. Yunho will work closely with Bashiri Johnson, Maurice Pledger and Judith Hill for his training.
A representative of the concert said,
“For the concert, every member who was set to perform the 2010 This Is It World Tour that was set to launch on July 7th in London will be performing here. There are plans for the Korean singer Yunho to be part of the concert and present a Michael Jackson
performance.”
After Yunho’s American training, he will return to Korea and perform on March 27th and 28th at the Korean War Memorial in Yongsan, Seoul.
The representative also said,
“It is a well known fact that Yunho is a huge fan of Michael Jackson and even wrote a blog entry when Michael passed away saying that Michael Jackson was his sole inspiration. Yunho is already a big star that has captured Asia and is also a Michael Jackson fan so we are confident that he will be a great addition to the concert.”
It’s gratifying to see Yunho receiving the opportunity to participate in a tribute concert to one of his idols, and I’m sure many Los Angeles fans are excited for this young star’s upcoming visit to America. Tickets go on sale on March 2nd; stay tuned to allkpop for more details!”

To be honest, I was like “eh, whatever” about New Years and the year 2010, but then I realized (after watching the following video) that “OMGOSH 2009 IS OVER! wtf??” ahaha
I wrote this quickly while listening to:
Listen to it on repeat, and I think you’ll feel it too xD
I never realized how eventful this year was. I am so fortunate to have experienced so much in my life. I am so lucky to have my mom, sister, and friends in my life
2009
Wasn’t freakin OBAMA inaugurated this year?? wtf? I can’t wait until the next female Hispanic president 
ㅋㅋㅋ 
TVXQ. AIGOO. i love dbsk more than i love myself. (which says something ). i was devastated when i learned about their financial situation with sm. This only seemed to open the floodgates for sm town-ers :/ Hopefully things will be resolved for the better in 2010.
PARK JAEBUM – duuuuude. this is such a touchy subject. as some may know he said stupid things in the past and long story short he quit 2pm.
GIRL GROUPS
omg they TOOK OVER 2009. holy crap. so much estrogen. I almost became a lesbian (thanks amber, thanks :O). SNSD, T-ara, KARA, BEG, 2NE1, must not forget RAINBOW (woo pride ), and everyone else practically bitch slapped me with debuts and comebacks :O
But in my honest opinion, 2NE1 made the highest jump from rookie to idol, no? I mean “I” don’t even like them that much, but they practically have everyone in the palm of their hands no?
I'D TAP THAT
HOWEVER
we must not forget the multiple boyband comebacks this year as well~ Super Junior, SHINee, 2PM, Lee Seung Gi, Taeyang (wedding dress~~), even freakin DBSK still comes out with songs (like freakin Tupac).
But I was happy for all the testosterone, I missed the opposite sex for most of 2009 :/
GOTTA TAP EM ALL, i treat them like pokemon :/
SNSD – GEE okay okay i know that this isn’t news worthy, but apparently this song was still Top song of 2009. wtf! This came out late 2008. Those girls have one damn good song. it’s always fun to sing it at nrb that’s for sure
STILL HAUNTING US IN 2010
Lee Myung Bak – (president of S. Korea) won the bid for a nuclear power plant in the UAE. although this isn’t really all that amazing. In 2009 I’ve decided to be more up to date with Korea (besides my insanely large knowledge of KPOP). Thus I read the news
not much of a looker xD
This list sucks. HAHAHA I don’t remember much from 2009 AHAHAH
First year of college. Life is soooo good Everyday feels like a new opportunity to push myself to my utmost potential.
KANYE WEST – “IMMA LET YOU FINISH” BEST. QUOTE. EVERRRR.
jus sayin
As my aunt’s dog lies down on my feet like that cute lazy bum he is, I can’t help but feel a little sad that this year is over. now i have to say that I graduated from HS “last year”. I feel slightly old. BUT AGE IS JUST A NUMBER, SO BRING IT ON BITCHES!
I just want to thank my mom and sister for being in my life for another year, and I hope that I can do the same for you now, and in the future.
To my friends:
If you don’t know that I love you by now, there’s nothing I can do about that AHAHAH

I recently became re-obsessed with this song by Infinite Flow. It’s about two childhood friends who hold feelings for eachother but are pressured by society to be apart. One of whom is going to get married.
Such a beautiful song :/ I want more songs like this ToT
jaa
p.s. i love KBS world radio T^T

I need to practice my viola now that I have music from school T^T and I REAAAALLY need to study C++.
During school I was so productive, and now I’m back to my high school procrastination :/ DAMN.
I PROMISE THAT TOMORROW I WILL BE PRODUCTIVE. I WILL PRACTICE MY VIOLA. I WILL LEARN C++, AND I WILL KICK LIFE IN THE BUTT WOO!
I need a job. ahaha
I saw a commercial for filling out surverys called bigspot.com
I did a little research, but I’m still a little iffy
oh and btw, I am IN LOVE with my iTouch. i listen to Korean radio ALL FREAKIN DAY T^T I’m really happy because I can read articles about what is happening in Korea daily. Now I know a little more than just some boyband members’ age and heights :/ HAHA! I will do my best to be well rounded about Korean Culture.
I miss Japan. I should put more effort into it. I used to be such a faithful student 
Shame on me
Also, I got a haircut around a week ago.

Posted by: deefay on: December 15, 2009
내가 어렸을때
naega eoryeoseulddae
When I was young.
On my Korean final I had to write more than 12 sentences based on one of three topics: When I was young, When I was happy, or When I was Sad.
I chose 내가 어렸을때 because I thought I could write more for that. hehe. I studied a lot of hobbies xD and I wrote around 17 sentences. LOL that’s how much I wanted to pass xD
I’M BACK.
Posted by: deefay on: December 15, 2009
HELLO WORLD. IT HAS BEEN A LOOOONG TIME SINCE I’VE BEEN HERE *cries*
It’s good to be back
It’s been two months since my last update, which is too damn long :/ This can’t be a habit, Daphne, SHAME ON YOU T^T.
But, I have been pretty busy. I was in KASA dance off this year. We practiced from 9pm until dawn the next day for weeks, but it was amazing! I would definitely do it again. We got third place too! Five points away from second! Damn straight, we are the best!
Because of that though I had to study my ass off whenever I could. I managed to get A’s in three of my classes, but I still don’t know about Macroeconomics FML. Damn i hated that class. I seem to always be cursed with the worst teachers for econ I swear xD
I also studied extra for the Korean 4 Final. I also don’t know how I did in that class. But I studied soooo much to do well on that Final! GAHHH! I really hope I did well.
I went back to visit my high school and see the music department’s winter concert. It was so much fun. I love seeing my dongsaeng-deul. They give me new energy, I swear. Gahh~! and the Freshman are so cute, boys and girls! My goodness. Even though the girls glared at me, I just wanted to hug them all xD So cute~! Hehe. I have a weakness for high schoolers, I swear :/
I’m thinking of doing either a blog or a vlog about KPOP and my take on anything that happens. That would be so much fun T^T I should find time to do that
KWOTD coming up in a second, although I forgot which number we’re on :O
LOVE YOU ALL LIVE WELL!

See you later~
na joongeh boja
Kind of the equivalent of the japanese phrase “jaa ne”. You say this when you leave friends that you’ll see later. Based on my limited knowledge of 한국어, it literally means, out of me, you will see or within myself, you will see. When you use -중에 it usually means amongst these -. My friend told me the more formal way is: 저중에 뵙겠습니다. I may be wrong. But i’m still learning :3
till next time

Classes are going well. Econ sucks. So boring. I hate econ. grr. it seems like the practice assignment that has 110 q’s might actually be optional (leh gasp).
DAMNIT WHEN IS HANNOORI GOING TO START!?? I NEED TO JOIN A KOREAN CLUB. NOW. WTF. I’M DYING FROM HANKOOK WITHDRAWALS!!! GYAHHHH!
*dies*
it’s not that hott anymore. and by that I mean it’s less than 105 degrees <3 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I’m going to visit my future Korean professor tomorrow~! I’m nervous and excited! My Korean has gone down the toilet since I haven’t practiced like, at all ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠT^Tㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
wish me luck world.
I love the gym. I wake up 7 in the morning everyday so I could go workout. I’ve gone everyday since I moved here I’m very happy!! WOOO! GO SUCK IT FRESHMAN 15! GO SUCK ITT!!!!!

똥

I chose this word today just because I always say it. my sister and i don’t say “piece of sh*t”, we say “piece of 똥”
and the insults are endless. and i found myself saying it a few times in college and confusing people ^^;;;
anyways. i need better words 하하하하하하하하핳
This has been your Korean Word of the Day.
I’M HOME. AND I MISSED KPOP. OH HOW I MISSED IT.

last night, as i was leaving my building, i was suddenly sad to go :’)
at first i was all like, man this kind of sucks :/
but i met so many great people already! and it’s only been a few days! dayum~!
i miss my hall mates we have the best times i swear.
i am going to do my math hw today. so i can get that crap out of the way T^T
i also need to learn C++ :’) wish me luck.
i haven’t listened to much kpop lately… and i’m sad. and i haven’t talked about it since i don’t know anyone who likes it as much as i do xD i’ve been having withdrawals i swear.
as i was leaving my roommate’s friends noticed my SHINee picture and they were all like “omg shinee!” and i think i died and went to heaven. because this whole week i’ve been searching for so long for others that share my love for korean stuff T^T SO LOOOOONGGG. and i was about to leave right then. fml. but i established my place in my college fandom. so i’m good :’)
is jaebum still gone from 2pm? i think it might take a while for him to come back. and freakin cutie wooyoung is all emotional about it too! :O
DRAMAAAAAAAAAA
anyways. i’m going off to do my hw. and i reread my last entry and i need to edit that crap. sounds really choppy. yay for not taking english this quarter. yayyy.

COLLEGE.
Posted by: deefay on: September 25, 2009
so… um… yeah. college
i love the gym. and the library. and the fact that i can do anything and get anything i want on this campus. i hate the weather. it sucks ASSSSSSSSSSSSSS. omg. so freakin hott. my lips got sunburnt. wtf :O and i have a tan line of my gladiator sandals :O oh snap.
i like my hall mates 내 방사람을 싫어해ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
and dude. so many good looking guys here :O wtf. even the ugly ones are hott. OH HOTT DAYUM :””””””) of course i would care about that
but i really miss my unni and my umma. :/ i miss laughing with them and stuff. hopefully i can find good friends i can laugh with.
today was my first official “day” of college. i went to 3 lectures anthropology, gender and sexuality and math 9c. for math i have this young new teacher. he seems pretty cool. i felt like i was in high school. and for some reason i felt really weird sitting in the front (even though I usually do). it was weird. whatever.
i miss my old computer. i miss blaring out my kpop hahaha. it’s weird but i am coping. i’m a big girl. i can deal with it :’)
엄마! 언니! 보고 싶어! 찐자! :’)
내 재일 친구들! 너두 보고 싶어!!!!

Yesterday I got my permit. Missed 2 questions out of the test. So, I did very well
Then I cut my hair at 김선영!! OMG. BEST HAIR PLACE EVER. the guy who cut my hair is my new best friend. He is an artist :3 I love that guy. KSY is my new hair place. FO SHO.
Then my family took to me to practice driving T^T It’s so scary. The idea of having peoples lives on my hands T^T me no likey. but today was my second time driving T^T scaaawwwyyy~
but my family says that i’ll get used to it I’m waiting for that day.
I would write more and in detail but I’m watching Project Runway.
oh and my sister and I are addicted to Sims: Life Story. no shame.
and i haven’t started packing.
i move in on sunday. fml.
KWOTD 3 “파이팅!/화이팅!”
Posted by: deefay on: September 14, 2009
“파이팅!/화이팅!”
Fighting!
Yeah, yeah, I know this isn’t a real word, but more of an expression. But come on, this is true pop culture right here. from my knowledge, this word of encouragement was made popular by the drama “Full House”. Correct me if I’m wrong.
NOTE: Along with saying “fighting” one must flex your fist (as if you are actually going to FIGHT). it’s cute. i do it all of the time.
For those a little iffy on how to use it here it goes:
“OH SNAP! I have a math final today!!”
“FIGHTING!” (we all know you need it)
“I’m going to ask that guy out~!”
“FIGHTING! (and for added effect) AJA AJA FIGHTING!!”
Yeah. that’s how it goes down. Story of my life right there
SEE YOU NEXT TIME :3
AND KANYE STRIKES AGAIN!!

Dude this guy. This GUY!! i love kanye. gosh darnit, he is a crazy mother f-er, but he has the right to be. darn man is TALENTED. so what if he ruined poor taylor swifts speech? he’s a douche.
but thing to remember: THIS IS THE VMAs, NOT THE OSCARS. i mean, come on.
it would have been awesome if she kicked him where it hurts or something. spice things up.
The only bad thing was that he defended Beyonce… really Kanye, Beyonce?? damn. i’m disappointed :/
THEME OF THIS STORY: Kanye is a crazy mofo, and we live for it
PLEASE TELL ME YOUR VIEW. I NEED TO HEAR MOAR.
CALL Kanye a douche, or call him a saint, whatever, i want to hear it!!
KOREAN WORD OF THE DAY 2 “힘”
Posted by: deefay on: September 13, 2009
힘
heem
force, strength.
For some reason I would always confuse this word for “흔들다” (heun-deul-da) (to shake). Probably because they start with a “ㅎ”. But anyways this is today’s word because I watched this heartbreaking video:
wah~~ wooyoung T^T. he’s the best member of 2pm I swear. Such a nice and cute guy :’)
anyways. I want to start using this word regularly. 힘이 있어. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’ve always had a problem with this word. I want to start using it properly
or 나는 힘이 있다. Same thing. I WANT STRENGTH. 나는 힘이 있고 싶어. Enjoy my elementary Korean :3 I hope to advance in my 한국말~
This has been today’s KWOTD
KOREAN WORD OF THE DAY 1 “좋다/좋아하다”
Posted by: deefay on: September 13, 2009
- In: Korean
- 2 Comments
좋다/좋아하다
Joh-wah
Definition: To like(?)
To me, this is one of the most confusing words to use on an everyday basis. I learned the meaning as “to like” . as in: Daphne likes apples. 대프니는 사과를 좋아해요.but i’ve heard it used as a confirmation. like “let’s go to the movies” “jowah/(okay)”
and according to the drama “I really really like you” “찐자 찐자 좋아해” it can also mean “I love you.” wtf. why is it so confusing. what if i want to use it to say “sure” and someone thinks i proposed to them or something!? jeezy creezy. :3
This is the first KWOTD KOREAN WORD OF THE DAY, because it is one of the most confusing ones :3 stay tuned for more

THE DEATH OF MY COMPUTER
Posted by: deefay on: September 11, 2009
So after years of having the home computer, it finally decided to not work anymore… again. But this time, unless I get professional help or something, it may really die T^T
ALL OF MY PICTURES WILL BE GONE T^T but whatever. I was willing to lose them if I could fix the computer, but it doesn’t work still. FML.
:/
I’m tired, hungry, and nervous for college Welcome to my life at the moment :3
