More or Less
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
I wonder if it is chance or just my recent fortune to have met a bunch of really right people. It has always been both rewarding and enriching to converse about various topics with like minded friends, but it’s a whole new paradigm to speak with one who could lead the subtle thoughts of one’s mind out and translate them into words.
Another valuable conversation tonight, and because my friend has the habit of penning down these little philosophical quotes, perhaps I should as well. Though I don’t have the luxury of space to paste all these lines on walls, I can at least jot them down here for future reference.
1) People who do what needs to be done are rich. People who do what they want are successful. Wealth is not a measure of success. In fact, it is not a measurement of anything.
2) Wealth is indeed attractive, at least in modern terms, and thus is used as the factor determining various job positions we have today. There may, however, be something better – Love.
I think a lot more was shared, but I shall treat the rest as internalized thoughts.
And I seriously think I need to learn how to love, I don’t mean BGRs here, but to love and accept people as they are, and for once genuinely care for those around me. Don’t laugh, but I have learnt this from some lovey-dovey Taiwanese serial.
