Mindset

An inspirational story that I would like to share with you all:

As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? So make an attempt to grow further. Why shouldn't we try it again?

Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt and choose not to accept the false boundaries and limitations created by the past.

105th Day

I have been immersing in this song lately. I have listened it over and over again without feeling bored.

I feel romantic, lively, harmony and cheerful at the same time while listening to 105th Day （第105天）. A wonderful masterpiece by pianoboy from Taiwan. Not just 105th Day, he have also composed lots of other lovely piano music.

I have started to learn playing the song few days ago. After stop learning piano for few years, I hope it is not difficult for me to learn playing the whole score.

I will make it. =)

Money Money Hom!

Really busy with school work and some business lately. Can't even catch some breathe to update my blog.

Anyway, I'm quite broke recently. People owe me money, at the same time, I'm owing other people's money.

Let's forget about money, because it hurts feelings. I'll settle it later.

Good night peeps.

Something about Flashlight

I got this information from Facebook:

Can ELECTRICITY pass through the flashlight of a digital camera to your body? Yes, it is 100% true!

This is a true incidence reported of a boy aged 19, who was studying in 1st year of engineering, who died in Keshvani Hospital, Mumbai. He was admitted in the Hospital as a burned patient.

Reason? This boy had gone to Amravati (a place located in State of Maharashtra) on a study tour, on their return they were waiting at the railway station to catch the train. Many of them started taking pictures of their friends using mobile phones and digital cameras.

One of them complained that, he was unable to capture the full group of friends in one frame in the Digicam. This boy moved away to a distance to get the whole group. He failed to notice that at an angle above his head, 40,000 volts electrical line was passing through.

As soon as he clicked the digital camera, 40,000 volt current passed through the camera flash light to his camera and then from his camera to his fingers and to his body.

All this happened within a fraction of a second. His body was half burned. They arranged for an ambulance and his burned body was brought to Keshavani Hospital, Mumbai. For one and half days, he was conscious and talking. Doctors did not have much hopes as there was a lot of complex issues in his body. He passed away later.

Now, how many of us are aware about these technical threats & dangers? Even if we are, how many of us are adhering? Now should we call ourselves as educated and knowledgeable people?
