In a philosophising mood.

Haha, so I was supposed to study for my accounting paper which is on Wednesday.
But I was holding the lecture notes but filled with so many thoughts which none of them has got anything to do with accounting!

I had so much thoughts I started penning them down all over my accounting lecture notes. lol.
Then I couldn't take it anymore, had to express my flow of thoughts. Hence Im here! Haha, if only I've a lot of time. I would take pictures and upload them to my blog posts. To help you visualize :p. (and also cos my blog posts tend to be very wordy.)

Sometimes I wish I am like a full time blogger and a part time student or sth.
And especially at times when you feel suffocated by things you have to do, you would start wondering why am I doing this. Why am I not doing things I like or have passion for.

Some of you may question me on the choice of taking up mechanical engineering.
It's not that it's sth I totally hate. I still like some of things I study. It's just that, when it comes to passion, I think there are sth else that I would get so engrossed and indulging doing it despite the sacrifice it takes.
I guess, it takes the route of doing 'what-you-dont-like' to actually find out the 'what-you-like'?
Im sure most of you had the same experience. Finding out what you hate, hence knowing what you love.
The opposites come in a package. Dont you think?

As I grow up learning and changing, I realized the different kind of mentality I had at different stages.
I used to be the wonder kid who wants to do everything (in my opinion) marvelous and contributive.
I've always thought people in this world are so blinded by $$$ and so to speak, 'the reality', or sometimes labeled as 'the cruelty in order to survive'.
People mis-looked the beauty of the world.

and that was me labelled as 'the gullible'.

Then slowly I grow up, getting into college, coming to university, the exposure and all...
I figured, hey, I'm actually slowly shifting my mindset because 'the gullible' me back then wouldnt think this way.
I mean, not that I have changed completely.
But I realized people shape themselves accordingly to fit.
So I now have an answer to 'the-gullible-me' for why are people behaving this way.

Because it is easier to shape an individual for survival or to fit in
than to shape the whole community for a paradigm shift.

Human beings are very lazy creature. Haha. And we are an art of complexity out of simplicity.
Too complex? Precisely what we are.
We have the most complex function to solve the simplest problem.
We seek simplicity out of the complexity we've created.

Now, arent we interesting?
Haha!
