Imagination Has No Borders

Imagination is a wonderful product of the mind. Just like space, it is fluid and intangible, limitless in its scope, and are only enveloped by man-made borders, such as the 5 P's:

i) Personal Religious Upbringing, and Convictions
ii) Parental Advice and Restrictions
iii) Peer Pressure and Social Norms
iv) Present Living Conditions and Perceived Future Utopia
v) Past Experience

When given form, it energies the body. It can also be the cause of self destruction; At the point of creation, it has no emotions, until one attaches his/her own. It can't be seen, neither be touched, nor be owned, but can be harnessed to manifest one's work or goal. It remains a secret in the heart of it's own creator, until he lets it out. How wonderful?

Since it is a product of the mind, the latter can be influenced to specifically aim at creation of a desired pattern of imagination. Properly harnessed, imagination provides the direction, conjures up the energy and unleashes its power - the Power Of Thoughts

Over the ages, visionary leaders have risen in many fields to enable and ensure human prowess. Great works have appeared in many fields, whether tangible or intangible. Works of art, architecture, music, literature and many more, are simply the end-products of imagination. Napoleon Hill said, "If you can imagine it, you can create it". But before you think that every imagination can be realized, let's be clear that daydreaming is not always encouraged.

树欲静而风不停,子欲养而亲不待

《孔子. 家语 - 致思篇》

工作繁忙?
感觉他们反应迟钝? 不耐烦?
问,小时也是否曾经如此?

想一想, 他们还有多少时间在这个世?
迟来的问候, 可能会使您永远心痛!
晚而自觉,悔之何及?

天若有情天亦老,月如无恨月长圆
宋 . 石延年 - 赠友联

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

- Edgar A. Guest, Poet

Life Is Simply ............

Life Is What You Put In It,
For Better Or Worse,

The Effect Of What You Do Today,
Or Did Not Do,
Will Mirror In Your Life,
Tomorrow
