Just some thoughts

Well, managed to speak to someone who was feeling so sad this morning (given the fact that i didn't have much sleep the whole of last night, hahaz.. mahjong craves settled). And the analogy used was this (if you happened to see this, you will know what i mean) - If you like a fountion so much because it would give you life and water yet upon seeing a big mountain in front of you, you merely shake head and walk away. Then, you might miss the fountion which would be behind the mountain. Why not weight out the pros and cons of everything before sitting on one side of th coin? Yup, so that you would not feel much regret even you are wrong in the future..

This reminds me of a story..
Once upon a time, there was this old man who planted the crop, fetilise them in the barren paddy field daily. The end product of his planting was just a waste of his energy. But, this did not deter him from doing the same old course of actions daily - plant, fertilise and water. This carry on from a few months until a young man, who saw this and could not take what the old uncle do anymore, approached the old uncle and find out why..

Young Man: " Uncle, so you jolly well know that this piece of land is barren and will not give you any yield at all, you have see it for yourself. So why insist on doing so? Why not throw off this piece of land and forget all about it?"

Old Man: " Young Boy, yes, this might be useless. But, if i don't try and give a chance to see if this method works or not, how can i just conclude that this land is useless?"

True enough, after so much of hardwork and preservance, the old uncle's hardwork paid off. The crop yield was exceptionally wonderful during that year.

Ok, i'm not here to promote the art of agriculture nor the method of planting, just link the concept the old uncle said - Why don't give it a chance and see if this works or not, how can i just conclude that?
Yup, same application wise - why not see the picture and let whatever that are involved have a chance to say or prove something before you conclude or decide..

Yup, still mess-up. But life goes on..
