out of the existing thinking

the following extract is taken and translated from a book call

"Small story, Positive Strength"

"it is a night visited by heavy rain and such lightning that roams the night sky. You are on your way back home, driving and your car is loaded. And as you drove, you passed through a bus station. There were three people still waiting for their bus, all sitting anxiously, shivering in the cold night air. One of the three, is an old lady, who seem to be feeling rather ill, all pale on her face, and next to her is a man who happen to be your life savior, who works as a doctor. he is taking care of the old lady, with a look of concern. And also sitting next to the old lady, is your dream lover.

Feeling anxious and without hesitation, you drove over. IF you may only take ONE passenger. WHO would you choose?"

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

the answer comes naturally, of course, would be the old lady. she is the most fragile of the three and she needs instant ride to the medical centre.

but if you choose the doctor, it is quite logical and acceptable as well because he is your life savior and you think you owe him a big one.

and if you choose to take your dream lover then, well it can be acceptable coz who knows when will you ever see a woman this perfect again?

but why not you choose to answer this way?

hand over your car keys, let the doctor drive the old lady to the medical centre and stay back with your dream girl/ boy and wait for the bus to come.

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

there. life is saved, and you get to know your dream lover.

i know, this short extract has lots of loopholes in it.

not really logical but then, the point i want to put across is,

most of the time, we are trapped within a linear thinking. and we just follow the expected thinking style that we become so predictable and lifeless (in terms of having repetitive old ideas).

and soon, we lose interest that we stop stimulate our mind and stop giving more ideas.

holding the perception "i am not going to be able to give brilliant ideas anyway"

NO NO NO...

don't give up on yourself that easily.

you read, you listened, you watched, you learned, you experienced.

and that is what makes stimulates your ideas.

one is different from another, and you already know that.

so don't doubt your mind.

you will be surprised what brilliant ideas that are hidden underneath/ behind the barrier you set for yourself.

What's the story behind...

What’s the story behind this set of meal? What’s the story behind this person? What’s the story behind this series of event?

There are so thousands and millions of people in this world. And thorough our short span of life, we hardly ever know more than 500 people in our lives. We can’t even remember that many names, can’t we? And everyday, as I take trains to school, I met probably thousands of people along the way. And just a few of them who take trains frequently just about the same time as I am will I remember their faces. Though there are more strangers that I come across, whom I do not know of. So the next time you see a stranger on your way to work or school or running an errand, take more than a glance. ‘Cause you will never know what will happen to that stranger in the following moment and what kind of fate lies ahead for him. You might just never see him or her again. What is your story? And what are theirs?

Everything in our lives has their own story and I mean everything. Even the atoms and molecules that we cannot see or touch, because we all know that atoms and molecules formed “us” and this world. And every part of us has its own story. How the cells formed and grouped together which in the end create an organism. How the atoms and molecules form the objects. These are stories. That none of us can tell because each story differs from one another. We can only tell our own story, however we can’t tell the whole story about our own life, since we can only tell the part of story about ourselves that we know of, the part that our brain and senses can interpret and understand.

It is really interesting to try to understand each story that I come in contact. Things happened and it always involved some parties, whom may not know each other.

Our surrounding provides so many things for us to observe and understand that how can we think that we are bored? Sometimes I can be quite busy with my own thoughts…=P
