Roots- Branches- the Top

Roots is where we started our journey of life..

but it does not necessarily meaning just that. Roots, can be a starting point of all the things we do.



and at the topmost of the tree is where we attain our achievement, the more branches we have to come across and defeat, the more obstacles along the way, or so to say, the more blunder we may have caused.

and therefore, we face a lot of choices.

each choices leading a way to a very different life.

at times, we have to pay for the choices made (risky and bumpy along the way).

but without making any choices, we have to pay at an even greater price. once made a choice, you are still on your way to achieving; not making one, you don't even stand a chance.

Hence, if we start from the top (that is, to know what you want from the start/ to know your goal).


then after, we choose where we should start (what we need in order to achieve what we want/ skills we need to equip/ personality flaws we need to modify). with a clear sight of what you want to achieve at the top, we won't be misled by the many branches that stand between you and your final destination (goal). and this, determines ones personal growth.

Chosen Quotes to share with... (ONE)

"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes.. and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility." -Eleanor Roosevelt
-------------------------------



my interpretation...

when someone says he or she believes something, or saying "my philosophy of life is...", do they really mean a thing? they never truly believe in the self proclaimed philosophy of life unless it reflects in the choices they made. what you say you believe in might not be really what you truly believe. sometimes people are too afraid of losing face, that they choose to claim that they believe in something they do not.

as for the choices... the choices we make leads us to situations and consequences we are bound to face according to what we have decided on... therefore we have full responsibility of what we decided to do. no matter how others influence us, it is us alone who carry out the action based on our choice. hence it is unwise to blame others for what you have done. it is also unwise to blame anyone for who you are now. as it is your past thoughts and actions that lead to the YOU today. Blame nobody. Stop blaming and start to make changes by taking immediate actions, if, to you, your present situation is not the one you had hoped to land in, in the past 10 or 20 years.

My Perception. My Thoughts.

Everyone has their own perception about the world. The way we perceive the world outside is never the same since we come from different upbringings.

Why not to see something in a new light? Why should we just being trap within this existing frame which the social world had taught us since we were a kid?

I suppose, i have posted those Qs as if i, myself can completely free my mind from this existing system. NO, i can't. if i can, i would be here writing these.

along with others, I'm struggling... finding answers and truth. and yeah, i admit, i am part of the popular culture. but no, i am not a plain follower. From time to time, once in a while, i woke up for a few seconds then i drifted back into this system. where we continuously repeating everything. repeating the cycle.. may it be the cycle of reproduction of product, the cycle of the reproduction of us unconsciously fallen into the laps of the present ideology. we listen to music that the culture industry wanted us to hear.. they set up the choices for us and deceive us into believing that we have the RIGHT to choose. but, do we? What options do we have? One might argue that, "oh yes, i have a lot of choices to choose from.." but we didn't realise tht these "choices" are actually limited. these choices are produced manly. there's more choices to choose from if we see beyond these present choices. but.. there come our human weakness. we are so rely on how this social world works that, without any given choices, we don't know what to do next. u know u have to further your studies after graduate from college, but without options there for u to choose from, we are hopelessly stranded. capitalist always providing us with various choices to choose from, but we never be free from the existing choices set up by them.

the next Qs that i wanna post is on thoughts..

Were there any thoughts before the symbols and languages are written and defined by human mind? what if languages and symbols had never be created? wld there be something similar to "thoughts"? wld we still be thinking? why do we thinking in words and languages? if i had never learnt a single word, wld i still have my thoughts? but in what form? alright, other than thoughts in the form of brainwave? we all know that we can only express through wordings and symbols, so that we can interact. but why our thoughts are now replace by words? words are just labels.. what are thoughts?
