Empty Your Mind

万念俱空

EMPTY YOUR MIND

Solitary...

LIVING at the PRESENT.

Savour it and LIVE with it.

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.

the mind

当思想在运作时，就不可能看到生命的全貌~

所有的思想都是受到限制的。

因此我们会发现，当人类发明一样近乎完美的成品时，总会在不久之后被他人赶上，以更新的面貌出现。

我们的脑有无限的潜能，但是在成功开发出潜在的能力之前，我们的思想，并不是自由的。因为我们的思想会受限于文化、社会契约、道义等的思想枷锁...
