i just finished reading the book titled [The Last Lecture] by Randy Pausch. the guy that wrote this book actually did a last lecture in this place called Carnegie Mellon. a lecture titled "really achieving your childhood dreams". but there was something else to this guy, he was dying, of cancer.
the book is really about achieving your childhood dreams, about being optimistic, about how to live life as a human being. no, it's not a religious thing, instead, it's something that he quotes "transcends all religion", instead, has an emphasis on what any humans being with a right working set of morals should have. it was about living.
well, i felt that it was a great read. and you guys really should go pick it up and read. haha.
"The Eaten by Wolves Factor"
you know what i really agree with Singapore? it's that it's complacent. we're so comfortable living in such a safe society that we instantaneously forget, or well, disregard the possibility of worst case scenarios. which is in general, what i always consider. although sometimes, i'm guilty of neglecting that scenario and heading on as planned.
always think of the worst case scenario. don't rule it out as a possibility that can't happen. things may happen when you least suspect it to. seemingly, i just smiled at the last sentence. maybe its just because that's how i seem to play out my life. enshrouded in mystery.
