Do people really have Power?

What is this people's power? Do people really have power? For the past few years I have been asking myself this questions and still have no idea what is this ghost called 'people's power'.

According to my own definition people's power is a phase used by politicians to manipulate people into believing that they posses power. In reality there is nothing like people's power. People posees no power at all thus only a minority few individuals in high positions have possetion of power. They are the ones with power to control things. The fact that every now and then people strikes, boycott is a sign that they don't have power.

Concurrently, people are made to believe that multi-party democracy is legitimately a democratic system. I don't want to agree or disagree with this statement but will ask a question " did people come out with the system or it was an idea of an individual?, how did it reach the people? was it imposed on to them by force or they themselves choose it?" The answers to this questions are obvious. Multi-party democracy began as an idea from an individual and was imposed to the people as a legitimate system to represent the voice of the voiceless. wow!!! What a lie. However people can have power only when they buy an idea of an individual thus unite upone that idea.

I conclude by emphasising that there is nothing like people's power. Democracy is a smart way to manipulate people.

"having one idea"
http://www.smallbiztechnology.com/archive/2012/07/new-business-idea-15-inexpensive-ways-to-test-its-potential-success.html/

Its pretty to have an idea but having one idea is very dangerous. You might get stucked in the middle of the forest and become prey for vultures. Its true that some ideas might suck but there are worth more than having one idea.

As engaging as the article, I am encouraged to focus or be interested in a quote from a biologist named Francis Crick, who is reported to have said:

"The dangerous man is the one who has only one idea, because he will fight and die for it. The way real science goes is that you come up with lots of ideas, and most of them will be wrong."

Francis Crick admit that scientist can come up with lots of ideas with most of them being wrong. Thus having one idea robs people of exploration, it limit them from exploring different alternatives in life. Concurrently, even bad ideas are better than no ideas. At the least they can lead to better ideas, possible great ideas. However, having many useless ideas might be a waste of time because in the end one one idea is useful. Today, time is precious, time is money. Why waste time brainstoming lots of ideas while one is needed? Stick to one idea and make it reality.

You might want to ignore me but I tell you, having one idea is like having one teeth. No matter how painful it is you have no choice but to use it. This is very dangerous considering that people with one idea always fight fiercely for that idea regardless of its merit.

You cannot Chase Two Rabbits at the Same Time

Chasing two rabbits at the same time is suicide, it is like standing in the middle of the road where you might get knocked down by the traffic from both sides. It is indeed a risk and in the process you might result loosing both rabbits.

Prioritising is key in situations like this one, prioritising keeps you in course of achieving your goals and objectives. Literally speaking, a rabbit is a small but intelligent animal, even two big dogs are not enough to catch one rabbit. This means that do not underestimate something because it is small, it might surprise you. Likewise chasing two goals simultaneously no matter how small they might look, might also result in loosing everything. On the other hand chasing two rabbits at the same time might be a good decision if well calculated, provided the rabbits are running to the same direction. Working and studying are good examples of chasing two rabbits, you get work experience and your degree in the end. No ways you can loose both.

Josh Billings once said "consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there." This is the valley of decisions, if you cant decide there is no place for you. You can not chase two rabbits at the same time, it is too risky.

Missing someone

"everyone has a heart"
http://www.demotivation.us/media/demotivators/demotivation.us_Missing-someone-u-never-thought-you-would-miss_130757122023.jpg

It is a very disheartening and painful to miss someone. You will miss someone if only you have lot of affection and love with that individual. Every one minute will seem to be very long when missing someone.

The flowers, nature, sunshine, spring rainbow and all other things will not bring in happiness and solance when you do not have the person dear, near you. It is similar to the situation of fish being out of water. In a book I read last week the writer said "sometimes when one person is missing, the world seem depopulated."  However,  when you miss someone, the affection grows tremendously. An English proverb says "absence makes the heart grow fonder." When you miss someone, they may appear in your dreams too because your heart and mind are filled with their thoughts always.

Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you've seen them or the amount of time since you've talked. Its about that very moment when you are doing something and wishing them were right there with you. The sad truth is that we are all missing someone and hoping they are missing us too.

Were people meant to be unhappy?

Do not think that anyone was “meant to be unhappy.” I have gone through rough patches in my life, and it does get better, thought it may take some time. Trust me when I say, it is all worth it. To finally achieve true happiness.

I have just learned in my past three years in the University that you need to figure out who the positive people are in your life and the negative people. You need to focus all of your energy towards the positive ones. I can’t believe it took me that long to figure that out, but it really works, and after three and a half years in Varsity, I finally find my way. Imagine what you would like to see change or happen in your life and take action. However some people are wolfs in sheep skins. You will never figure them out until you put them into test. True friends wont sterb you on your back.

I believe that thinking positive can have a great positive influence in your life and your choosing. Remember, no good life can be led without some bad days too.

Conventional is a Good Fallback position isnt it?



"happiness"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness



In nature people are prone to fall back but when time comes for one to fall back conventional is the best possible solution that can lead to happiness. Accepting the standard or conditions in which you at in a particular time is the foundation to happiness and possibilities of moving on if you have that courage. Sometimes in order to build you have to start from scratch.

When time has come to fallback. prepare yourself for conventional. You just have to acknowledge the facts instead of dismissing it as no big deal. Its perfectly normal. Indeed it takes some time to unjust but  it is always for the best. However, if you are still ambitious and keen to regain your position you need to be careful not to feel comfortable in your new position after conventional. People adapt easy to circumstances.

Furthermore, happiness is a result of accepting who you are therefore generating opportunities to grow. Thus conventional is a good fallback position because it encourages an individual to accept life as is in a particular time.

My Big Fat Dream



I am just an ordinary man in this world, but look at me because I believe and I dream big time. I have huge dreams. My big fat dream is being a billionaire and being on the cover of the  Forbes Magazine.

Dreaming is great but nothing happens until you wake up. I know my world is flooded with motivational proclamation and anecdotes about following my dreams and accomplishing my goals in life. However there is a thin line between dreaming and living a dream. The key is to be willing to take risks. In the past big guns like Bill Gates took the risk and quit school moreover managed to appear not once but many times in the Magazine. The question "do I have to take that route and quit University?

In life I have learnt that if there is no opportunity to fail, then there really is no opportunity to succeed. Therefore to make progress I have to face my fears then my big fat dream will become a reality.
