As a man thinketh

Thought and Character

"The Aphorism,"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embrace the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every conditionand circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts."

In other simpler terms, "You are, what you think you are"
Act is the blossom fo thoughts and joy and sufferings are its fruits ; thus does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry.

Thought in the mind hath made us. what we are
by thought in was wrought and built . if a man's minds hath evil thoughts , pain comes on him as comes.

Man is made or unmade by himself , in the armory of thoughts he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.

Man is always the master , even in his weakest and most abandoned state; but in weakness and degradation he is the foolish master who misgoverns his household. when he begins to reflect up his condition, and to search diligently for the law upon which his being is established, he then becomes the wise master, directing his energies with intelligence , and fashioning his thoughts to fruitful issues.

A man only begins to be a man when he cease to whine and revile , and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life . and he adapts his mind to that regulating factor , he cease to accuse others as the cause of his conditon.

And Finally...

its been 3 days back home..my mind is still filled with plans and thoughts, i've been talking to many people and seeking some advice from them in order to steer my way at this long journey of life. "without a degree, you 'd wouldnt go far... you'll never go any higher and your chance for promotion in your career is limited to a certain level" and so this is what they said. I'm currently still looking out for jobs that suits me and in which i could learn new things. Transportation is an issue, i've realised that the days have already changed, you cant go anyway where without a car of your own or to get someone to drive you somewhere. The Malaysian Public transport is very inefficient, they are always late and costly, as jasmine has once said "you'll have to pray for the Bus to arrive all the time..." over here thats very true. Taxis are like sharks in shallow waters, preying for tourist and people who are in a rush to get somewhere, they always rip people off. Bahh.... whatever!! Heaven and hell is always in your mind, you create your own hell and heaven, its the way that you bring yourself about within your mind. we'll never be content/sastified until we learned to let go of our attachment. The Three poison that we'll need to learn to get rid of 1:GREED 2:ANGER 3:IGNORANCE

16 THINGS THAT TOOK SOMEONE 40 YEARS TO LEARN:

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life

6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

7. Never lick a steak knife.

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that very moment.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built theArk.A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

16. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

FINAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2030, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections but no idea what to with them.

Post?

I came across this article when i was searching for the term unconditional love

and here is a quote (it was quoted from somewhere else) from a forum that i'd like to share:

QUOTE

The First Miracle of Mindfulness is to be present and able to touch deeply the blue sky, the flower, and the smile of our child (or lover!)

The Second Miracle of Mindfulness is to make the other present, also. In the Vietnamise poem Tale of Kieu, Kieu returns to the apartment of her beloved, Kim Trong, and finds him asleep at his desk. Kim hears Kieu's footsteps, but not quite awake he asks "Are you really there, or am I dreaming?" Kieu replies, "Now we have the opportunity to see each other clearly. But if we do not live deeply in this moment, it will only be a dream." You and your loved on are here together. You have the chance to see each other deeply. But if you are not fully present, everything will be like a dream.

The Third Miracle of Mindfulness is to nourish the object of your attention. When was the last time you looked into the eyes of your beloved and asked, "Who are you, my darling?" Don't be satisfied by a superficial answer. Ask again, "Who are you who has taken my suffering as your suffering, my happiness as your happiness, my life and death as your life and death?" Ask with your whole being. If you do not give attention to the one you love, it is a kind of killing. When you are in the car together, if you are lost in your thoughts, assuming you already know everything about her, she will slowly die. But with mindfulness, your attention will water the wilting flower. If you do not practice appropriate attention, how can you say you love her?

The Fourth Miracle of Mindfulness is to relieve the other's suffering. "I know you are suffering, that is why I am here for you." If you are not truly present, if you are thinking about other things, the miracle of relieveing suffering cannot be realized. Etc....

Neither of us can see

The Warmth

I'd like to close my eyes and go numb
But there's a cold wind coming from
The top of the highest high-rise today
It's not a breeze cause' it blows hard
Yes, and it wants me to discard the humanity I know
Watch the warmth blow away

Do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier?
And leave in my wake a trail of fear?
Or should I hold my head up high
And throw a wrench and spokes by
Leaving the air behind me clear?

Don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came
And while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old.

Gadgets that i Lust for....

The Logitech Z-5500 Digital speaker system is a 5.1-channel behemoth that boasts a wealth of connectivity options and multi-channel effects. It's a perfect match for most game consoles, home theaters, and PCs—but its bombastic low end can become overbearing with certain types of source material.
Fearsome volume levels. Plugs directly into almost any analog or digital source. Deep bass. Outstanding tethered control pod and wireless remote.

We have so much "Wants" and we are never content with what we have. Once we obtained something that we want, we will then move on to the next "want" and try to acheive it. The "wants" that im refering to, is so called happiness....

"We seek for happiness in so many areas and in so many ways, always seeking in the wrong place. Eventually we realise that not finding happiness in these places doesn't mean there is something wrong with us. It doesn't mean we are incompetent or hopeless. Insight will show us that there is no way anyone can find happiness in the place we were looking. The mind realises that the world can only be dukkha (suffering). The wise person, instead of being distressed by that suffering and wallowing in it, contemplates what The Lord Buddha says about suffering, the Four Noble Truths. That means, they seek to understand this whole process of suffering."(Ajahn Brahmavamso)

We are always looking for happiness and most of the time... that happiness is just momentarily, its not real happiness. "Everything is impermenant" what is the real defination of Happiness?? thats another long argument/discussion for me to write.

Saturday is just another day to pass... with a blink of an eye im another day older than yesterday. Great.... we are all getting older day by day. When will we become younger by a day then?? hahaha..... Dont think that day will come. Am i complaining too much? ohh well... "life's a farker" get use to it.... we will arm ourselves with knowledge and try to stay in the rat race. Nothing is free now adays, everything has a price...... even love doesnt come cheap. Is money everything?? Money to me is just a means/tool for our survival something that we use to exchange for good and services(Econ101) and we must have it (Duhh).. Alrite Alrite........ cut the crap and im going to bed now...... hehehe its 3 am now.
