It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

I always say that if you are sure about yourself, you should not worry about the things. If you lie to others, your conscious will tell you that it is a lie and why lying to yourself as long as you know that it is a lie?

From the religion point of view, a real man is measured while facing obstacles and when lying to people, you cannot lie your conscious and the Almighty God who is our Creator cannot be lied as He knows the past, present and the future! Unless that you are not a Christian nor believe in God that you can behave in such a way.

From the scientific point of view, you can lie others but your research shall be expelled once caught in fraud and not able to defend it before the members of the jury. Even in academic context, you can be penalised from copyright or plagiarism. At the end of the day, you will put yourself in a bad position from the idea to lie, which is called a poor idea as your own conscious knowing the status of your situation and even facing the charge, you will not be able to defend yourself before the judge unless that you do not care about your conscious and would not mind to cheat or to be called a criminal because the idea to lie to yourself will lead you to criminality.

Not all who wander are lost

I tend to agree to this statement as life is a real game and most of people who have succeeded are those who wander as take the chance to be where no one would like to be but whoever who is not afraid of risks, basically does not risk in reality.

Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland, sated once “If you are going nowhere in particular…any road will take you there”, and then Dr. David Crombie would agree that “If you are going somewhere in particular…expect the unexpected”. That said, life is completely filled of surprises and if you only seat there and wait for others to do everything for you, you should not blame yourself to your destiny as those who wander and one day find themselves in position of controlling the world by not being always lost.

Despite fortune favours prepared mind i.e. more you are prepared, less surprises; those people wandering the future of their lives are not always lost as to some extent they always get the unexpected. We can get the example of Colgate, he wandered and today he is one of the rich people in this planet.

This statement applies in our daily basis life, actually in politics; we see some politicians who are not even well educated but once enter politics by adventure, finally become successful leaders more than the well educated politicians with a planned vision. That should teach us good lessons on how not all who wander are lost. To be continued!

How do you step from the top of 100-foot pole?

This requires a deeper reflexion on how to step from the top of a 100-foot pole; what really happened from one to be at the top and how did he or she have to get there? Somehow there was a ladder, there were steps, or he or she has been dropped there by a helicopter?

From my opinion, taking such a risk would not work for many but there might be people out there who always take chances and always experience life in the way that a normal human being would not. This said, how do you expect someone like me to step from the top of 100-foot pole, even offered millions of dollars, I would not agree to such a proposition because I’d be dead before I get such money and what about my family? Oh, no I would never take such a risk or adventure myself!

There is however an old saying stating that if everyone is from the same thought that means that no one deeply thinks i.e. being realistic, I do not think that this should happen to me as long as I am awake and surely if such thing happens to me, I would conclude that it is only a dream and what the best to do for stepping from the top of 100-ffot pole, it’s just to wake-up and that nightmare will end there. Who says better?
