晚饭

 在餐桌吃着晚饭,家人谈起了我的未来, 也提起了过去, 述说了我的中学生涯

说着说着, 我发现我非常感慨, 当时他们选择了送我去独中. 

语言能力差的我, 当初有抗议行为。时间久了, 脑子清醒, 突然发觉华教有多么的重要

我是华人. 我不需模仿西方口腔语调. 我不稀罕潮流的批评

我是华人. 我对华教的毅力, 我对文化的坚持, 不受外者的负面影响

我是华人. 我不能忘本.

我目睹同龄同族的朋友否认            甚至嘲笑自己的民族, 吐槽自己的文化

完全无视历史悠久, 根本没把文化丰厚的母语放在眼里

他们不是故意, 他们只是不太懂, 他们选择的是无知

毕竟殖民期不小心被掺杂了信念. 时间在指缝间 流失. 流失. 流失而世界掌控了思想

每一次想起这景象, 我流泪, 我心碎, 我真的看不下高昂在上的人对文化没落时的愚昧

也许在他们心里有遗憾, 藏悔意. 

我不了解我为何担心那么广大, 那么抽象的东西. 我不明白我为什么会那么的在意

我抬起头,听妈妈说: 放在心上的东西自然   就会被在意

7 WAYS for achieving your purpose

 CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION make use of free will.   Jesus and the blind man. Why does Jesus ask him what he wants when it is obvious he want to see? Choose area (learning, marriage, finance, friendships) of importance to you, and make 3-10 goals. What measurable  and compelling goal is possible? Set the goal, and then you have the direction. Reticular activating system: it helps you find whatever you are focusing on.  E.g. Search for blue items. Okay, how many purple items are there? you don't know. Because you only focus on what you look for. Your brain gets excited and get power the moment it knows what direction it is about to take. Decide  your exact deadline when you will achieve it. Also, ascertain what you want to sacrifice . (time/money/patience/difficult situations) The price will be  "Where there is no vision, people perish"-Solomon  CHOOSE YOUR REASONS Do you have insight to yourself? Be a person of deep water, look deeper. Introspect. What...

Conflating the liberty of freedom and burden of choice, and finding the balance in between

"...the individual ceases to be himself; he adopts entirely the kind of personality offered to him by cultural patterns; and he therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect him to be...The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self." -Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm, first published by Holt, Rineheart and Winston, New York, 1941. http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Escape_from_freedom.html and then comes the question many strive to answer; what do we risk to lose when we are already in an individualised state of mind? Even more, i think. The attraction of the self makes it even harder to conform, whilst the pressure for conformity never ceases—in fact the pressure exponentially increases—staring you down through that bright screen all day and for most of the night.
