The Percentage

"I know 20% about you and that, is a lot," sitting at one corner in the Indian stall, he said. "You may know 100% regarding yourself, a very, very close friend of yours might be 75% and your family would be 50%," he continued. Statement above can be true, after some changes on the percentage given that is. We at times, do not know ourselves very well compared to how much the others know about us, because they see what we don't see, and we see what they can't see. There's a difference, you see. We might not be able to see how we handle problems, how we react, how we socialise and how we speak, as they somehow reflect our personalities and behaviours whereas the people around us definitely cannot see all the thoughts we have in our mind, does not matter whether it is something great or sinister. We are the only one who holds the access key to our mind, our memory, though it might be modified after a period of time. We have been through life, at least part of our life and in many ways, we seem to be the only person who understand our history the best, because like what an article has mentioned, we always stay by our side, from birth to death, strangers to friends, depression to happiness, closer to closest. Yes, we may not understand ourselves fully, but we are still the owners of our life and so, we have the responsibility to know ourselves better, to seek, to track, to learn regarding ourselves because if we don't, who else would?

Expression in Time

Few familiar sentences, "I don't have time for this", "I don't seem to have enough time to complete the task given", "How I wish I can have your time" and et cetera. Is that so? Some of us may have came across an article, mentioning how precious the time is, by years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Inspiring it was, and still is. A combination of what many might have been through in one, to switch on our mind's eye, to see things we may only see with our mind. The fact is, we do have time, plenty of them, and it is the matter of how we look at it, really. We may have one day to our mid year, 1 hour before sun rises and 1 minute left to look at the papers, still, aren't they all counted as time? Sub-categories of time for the very least perhaps? To certain people, the phrase "I do not have enough time for myself" has been so common, to the level where they no longer remember, it is just an expression. An expression to urge a person works harder, an expression to remind one regarding the deadlines given, an expression where one able to release the stress. So, anyone interested?

Slower Pace

As the world moving forward, people too working in a quicker pace, thus forgetting how to slow down. We've learned how to speed, does not matter whether we are on the road, or we are sitting at one corner in the office. Chinese says, "slow works produce fine art," however, this is no longer the trend, for we are now requested to be fast and efficient, to produce a very, very fine art in a much, much quicker pace. After years walking in and out from the house, this is the very first time where a lesson on being slow is taught. Stepping on the pedals, controlling a bike sure is hard, to a certain people that is, even if it is only a distance of two parking slots, due to the reason where we must be as slow as possible, which differs from the usual speed we would take on. So, why don't we stop for a second and look up into the sky? Where we are able to find the art of Nature, the inspires of life.

Life Changes

"Sometimes I wish everything will stay the same, however, there are times where I hope the changes will be made in a quicker pace," one said. Funny feeling, isn't it? Though they may be conflictive, this is what certain people have been through. As we all know, some of us are afraid of unknown, not knowing what it might causes and the consequences which may occur, thus hoping them will remain the same forever. Still, there is also another part in us where we want something better, when we achieve a certain level. We want to reach the expectation of others better, we want to do them good, we want to improve ourselves, we want, we want. One thing for sure, what needs to be changed, will be changed when the time has come, something we might not see it coming, and something, that might bring changes to our life. Like one said, "I personally think that life is the most important thing in life, because changes can be made, as long as we are alive."

Disconnection

A friend said, "Not many visit our blog because they don't understand what we have written." True enough, people don't seem to be interested when they fail to cope with the 'information' given, or when they do not have the passion for that particular subject. However, there are other sub categories under the 'connection' part, where people could not link to what they have been told, depending on the factor whether they willing to work hard in understanding it. And of course, there are other reasons that might eventually discourage a person from pursuing his original goal, thus losing the interest and soon, out of the track. This is not something we may be proud of, or should be ashamed of, because when it happens, it is meant to be, to test our patience, our will-power and to test our courage to hold on tight, even though there are obstacles ahead.

Random Probabilities

One said, random could be well governed by the probability of an occurrence, where the 'probability' is defined as the number of success over the total number of experiments. Couldn't help but to wonder why it is put in such a way. If a student has 10 over 15 of chances to fail his paper, does it still defined as the number of success over the total? The answer is, yes. Probability is the quality or condition of being probable, does not matter whether it is good or bad because when it does happened, we take that as a success for it has occurred as what we have predicted. To those who did not do well in their academics, or not reaching a certain expectation, do not take it as failure, but success, because we still have the chances to get what we wanted, what we desired. The probability to cheer, to party overnight after grabbing the name, to lift up the smiles on the faces and to be proud of by anyone who cares, including us.

Lacrimation

Watery secretion of lacrimal glands, which moistens the conjunctiva, is somehow work as the tool to release stress and other negative feelings in us. Warm liquid substance coming down the cheek, as if the unwanted pressure too been taken out from our heart, our mind and our soul. Slight physical contact from a person, a friend, tapping on the shoulders, is enough to bring them out, after days, weeks, months or more. Seeing one going through this particular process, we would go panic and wanting to know more, of what causes that to happen, why and how. Offers from others, concerns shown by dozens, are what we don't usually see, though they have been there all this while. Messages and companies, from house to the other house, from this end to the other end, ways of showing the bonding between one another. Shop to shop we went, and car by car we passed by, we share the stories, laughter and jokes. And that, is the end of the day, another sun set, another months to another repetition, where it once occurs again.
