discoVery consIstS of seeIng what everybOdy has seeN And thinking(R) what nobodY has thought

been ages since my last post...it's been a mix of being busy...lack of creative input...hehe..and of course the no 1 malaysian excuse lazy... time has been passing by as if weeks were days..days were hours..hours were minutes and minutes were like seconds...and seconds were moments...but moments need to be treasured...and if that is the case therefore time needs to be treasured...no matter how insignificant it is..but that is a known fact rite? the point of what i'm saying...honestly i dont really have a clue...apart from my hols have finished so fast without me really realizing it..it's good and bad for hols to finish... goood : goin back to kl and meeting the frens .... bad: no more resting time...didnt get any studyin done as usual.. been a busy hols for me..painting house... finally after 5 days..couple coatings of paint on the walls and of course another couples of coatings of sunburn on my skin as wel....the weekend came..and my 2nd religion came in..sports...futsal baby...hahaha...managed to meet up with frens ..and have a good game of futsal yesterday and today...absolutely marvellous...watched a couple of movies recently..the banquet,john tucker must die...etc... goin to watch open season soon...but just now i watched a movie..that is simply amazing... maybe there's a sense of connection with me and the character... Good Will Hunting... its an old movie i know...but wow...thank god and Jeyan that i didnt miss this movie...thanx again jeyan for lending me this movie...it has inspired me...in more ways than one... i need this kinda movies for inspiration to do things that i need to do... in the movie the lead character..will hunting didnt really know what to do with his life..but he has this amazing gift in potential and he's a genius...the similarity btw me and him is the first part definitely not the latter... i realised during watchin the movie, i faced that dilemma a while back...wondering what to do... being not sure... i know i have the ability though not greatness(which is not unattainable) but stuck with the question lingering in my head of wat to do... medicine,pharmacy,engineering,astronaut(unrealistic though).... engineering came out as the others were out of question and the reason for an astronaut being stated above...torn btw doing something u want to do and having to do to please society and to be secure is a problem i believe i will be facing however, if u think in a way no others have even with the same question/problem in front of u... u can find a solution... one the most inspiring quotes and my all time favs that i have stumbled upon is one by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893 - 1986), where he says.... "Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought " .... it applies to what i said above bout thinking in a way no others have.. i need to do that..and thats what i will do... i will do what is necessary not for success...not for fame ..not for glory... but for wat i want in life..and from good will hunting i learnt that success does not consist of those things, money,fame or glory but the little things..ppl..and most importantly being happy with what u have become and achieved...it wat i learnt and perceived from the movie.. enough said...
