Chosen Quotes to Share with (SIX)

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.
- Jiddu Krishnamurti

-------------------------------

we human being is born with all kinds of possibilities.

we may have shown talent in one or more fields.

i myself believes that there are many things which i show talents in.

however, it is also because of my preferrence and environment that affects what i can excel in.

if one does not believe in the posibbility of inborn capabilities, he or she is denying the power of our brain. we are basically born to learn and adapt to any skills that ensure our survival.

you see all the differences in human race all over the world?

we are them, they are us; you are therefore no more different than I.

what we encounter in life and how we learn to deal with this outer environment makes us adapt to different things.

however, wouldn't be surprise to know that if we set the limited thinking aside (restricted to the thinking of "i am chinese, therefore i..." or "i am a white, why should i..." kinda thinking)

that is to say, be readily to accept various thinkings and cultures.

be ready to let your mind and soul blow you away with all the possibilities that lies within you.

Chosen Quotes to share with... (FOUR)

A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.
- Jiddu Krishnamurti
-------------------------------------

my interpretation...

when we are afraid, it means we can not grasp hold of a situation or there are things that we can not control or understand. if the situation does get out of hand, then we will get panic. when we are panic, we do all sort of things... if it is small, we take deep breathe and might just walk around and around while we are cooling ourselves off from panic. if it involves a larger state of panic, we will do anything, anything to save ourselves from any harm. hence, people are the most aggressive when they are under major panic attack. we, human are less aggressive or non aggressive, only when most if not all of our needs are meet. it is when we feel safe and secure that we show the best of our character. it is the nature of human.

Chosen Quotes to share with... (TWO)

If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.

Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

----------------------------------------

my interpretation...

to get to the bottom of a problem, is to really stay calm and rational... to look clearly of the problem at hand and have the determination to find out the source of the problem.
do not ever rush for an answer, because rushing will lead to irrational judgment.. rushing will cloud judgment and make the problem harder to be solved.
