"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles.

Behind The Controversial Theory

2009-07-03T13:14:00.001+07:00

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, or the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”—Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin had made a controversial theory in the human and scientific history. He said that a man could be a result of evolution from monkey in a long time. His theory was rejected by religious figure, other scientists, and me too :-)

The quote above seems like evolution theory. But read the quote carefully and then you can find that it’s not an evolution story but only a statement about how individual can survive through many species in the world. Although I don’t agree with his theory, but I have the same opinion that human have superior adaptation ability rather than any other species in the world.

The Gift of Wisdom

2009-06-29T15:27:00.000+07:00

“Life is a gift of nature; but beautiful living is the gift of wisdom.“ Greek Adage

Sometimes in any moments I search what is the purpose of my life. I do my activities day by day and fill my free time by watching television, reading a book, and others. It’s look like a circle that can tire me. I always search for the meaning through the emptiness of my heart and then realize that God had given life to me for a reason. I agree with the quote above, wisdom can make life better and beautiful.

“I have been the artist with the longest career, and I am so proud and honored to be chosen from heaven to be invincible.”

“I believe in wishes and in a person's ability to make a wish come true, I really do. And a wish is more than a wish... it's a goal that your conscience and sub conscience can help make reality.”

“You can always dream, and your dreams will come true, but you have to make them come true.”

“Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.”

“And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face... and the world we once believed in will shine again in grace. Then why do we keep strangling life wound this Earth, crucify its soul. Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly. We could be God's glow... Heal the world.”

“I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars Now I don't know where we are although I know we've drifted far What about yesterday What about the seas The heavens are falling down I can't even breathe What about the bleeding Earth Can't we feel its wounds What about nature's worth? It's our planet's womb.”

“Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be lived.”

Happiness comes from counting our blessings, appreciating little things - a flower by a stream, seagulls circling over the ocean, laughter of little children, a call from a friend, a challenge met. Happiness comes from celebrating the moment - not waiting for all our problems to be solved. Happiness comes from cultivating a thankful heart.

"The real secret of patience is to find something to do in the meantime."
Author Unknown

Waiting is one of the most difficult thing to do. One minute seems like one hour. One month seems like one year. During waiting I always try to do some activities such as reading, playing game on my phone, or just seeing anything. Long time waiting will test our patience. Praying is the most effective way to be patient. Do you have the other ideas?

Scientific Quote

2009-06-04T22:50:00.002+07:00

"Now and then a scientist stumbles across a fact that seems to solve one of the great mysteries of science overnight. Such unexpected discoveries are rare. When they occur, the scientific community gets very excited. But excitement is not the best barometer of scientific validity. Science, said Adam Smith, should be "the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm". The case of the disappearing dinosaurs is a fascinating demonstration that science is not based on facts alone. The interpretation of the facts is even more important."
(Robert Jastrow, Ph.D. (physics), Director, Institute for Space Studies, USA), "The dinosaur massacre", Omega Science Diegest, March/April, 1984, pg. 23).

I have a high regard for her. Mother Theresa had shown his love to the poor. She is the real model for the quotation that she had made. I think life will be brighter if every one do like above quote. Only love can make our live better and happier. And the love will be expressed on our kindness to each other. On the other word love is the source of all kindness.

My friend has a unique habit. He always writes his dreams on his paper. And then he marks every dream which have come true. I’m very surprise that there are many markings on his dreams!!

Playing Chess against Computer

I really agree with this quote. During my work I have learnt that it’s better to make a wrong judgment than don’t do anything. Bad judgment will bring me to get experience, but voiceless only make me look like a looser.

Enjoy Failure

2009-05-27T03:51:00.002+07:00

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Thomas A. Edison

I think success can come easily to many persons. But believe me that they can’t enjoy it wholly as people who had the hardest way to get success. Success is like an expedition. You will be glad if your journey is over, but the more challenges you found during the expedition, the more satisfaction you will get. So why don’t enjoy your failure and keep trying to get successful?

Every Great Thing Always Come from the Smallest Thing

2009-05-26T03:54:00.000+07:00

“Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.” Albert Einstein

Every great thing always comes from the smallest thing. Do you agree with it? I absolutely believe it. Students always study from the simplest lessons into the most difficult one until they can create theory themselves or just develop it. An employee does his/her jobs with small responsibilities first. Then if the employer sees that he/she can do the job excellently, the employer will give bigger responsibilities to him/her. You can find many other examples yourself. Have you found it yet?
