Thoughts

Every individual have their different ways of views, thoughts and opinions on things. There’s this blog independentspeakers.wordpress.com where a few individual writers in that blog posts what each of them desire to express. Observe the diversity in the thinking and gain insights from the different views of people.

It is not possible for one individual to completely understand another but what we can do is to learn to see things from other views, to look into other people’s opinion on the different things around us. Though we may not always agree on these different views but maybe we can learn at least tolerate and accept that there are these different thinking.

When getting stuck at something whether it is a solution for a project you’re working on or some trouble with love life, try getting opinion from a totally unrelated person. That vast difference in the thinking might just be able to open up a way for you. Sometimes you don’t need a direct answer to your question. You often just need a fresh new point to get your mind moving again and that is where other’s thoughts can help you.

Open up your mind with diverse thoughts

Someone

What would you think when a big problem that isn’t related to you but affects you happens? I’ll tell you what most people will hope for. Most people will hope for “someone” to do something. Just imagine everyone in the world having the same idea of “someone” will end up doing something. Nothing will happen, ever.

It’s a topic I want to write for a very long time but didn’t have inspiration but recently I’m inspired by a blog post from a friend of mine, Clayton Tan Ju Chiae. In his blog post, http://www.juchiaetan.com/?p=215 he mentions a few selfless people coming of their cars to direct traffic when a massive jam was caused by faulty traffic lights and many impatient selfish drivers when most people are just sitting back in their car hoping for these selfless “someones” to appear.

At many times, we ourselves can be the “someone” that we’re hoping for. Stop thinking about what other people might do. When there’s a problem, step up and do something yourself. Next time when you encounter any problem, don’t think about what “someone” could do but instead think what you can do yourself.

Don’t hope for a someone, be the someone

Reason

Almost everything has a reason to happen. At many times however in our own actions we are supposed to know the reason but our conscious mind just isn’t sure. That’s in the case of our own actions but for other things like what is the reason some people are smarter, that we do not know of the reason. People then start coming up with their own reasoning according to their own desire. They can sound pretty logic as well. However, the most desirable question to be answered is the reason for our very existence. What is the reason that we live?

This question is a very subjective question. We always have the choice to choose to believe what is the reason we live. I can only say believe as I do not know if there could actually be a planned reason for us to live but I would like to believe not. Life has many things unsure and unknown. If you can justify your reasoning well, people will choose to believe it’s the truth including yourself.

Very often, we choose our own reason
