Hey! I got a theme today. I'm watching Alan Watts on Youtube and his talk sends shivers down my spine. It's so powerful.
My thoughts..
Society has implanted everyone to dangle into this rich professional career. We must work hard to get to that destination. We start from kindergarten to prepare for 1st grade.. then 2nd grade. Basically it makes us think that we will be happier in the future. We have to sacrifice the present to reach that happiness later. But when we reach that destination.. we still feel the same. Do we still feel happy reaching it? Plus, what's next? I mean really what's next when you reach that destination?? More money? More items? Keep pushing yourself for random stuff? Items purchased wear off a lot. Happiness is so fleeting. It's like this pursuit of happiness, like people fight for it and never ever find it. Chasing for "happiness" when they forget to live in the present. Live now-- Life's a party! But still think about your plan to the future.
Here's some quotes,
"The most dangerous risk of all: the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later."
"Making plans for the future is of use only to people who are capable of living completely in the present"
I really like this Youtube video,

Sweet.. There's a new ice cream shop opening up near me today .. Woot =9
Update: I got my free ice cream sandwich. I cringed reall bad when I was in line. Of course, the line was long as expected but there were soo many high school people. I felt like I'm going back in time hating my life more. lol. Then, there was some dude talking to people in line, you know, those bubbly and energetic people.. and I'm like oh hall naw. I was like Oh please don't talk to me. lol. Ok maybe I'm anti-social or what. But too bubbly and energetic makes me uncomfortable haha.Oh and about the ice cream sandwich.. it's just like any ice cream sandwich lol. I think it's the promotions and all the hype that brings people in. You know, marketing things.
I also watched "Yes,Man" movie. Eeek! I loved it! Zooey Deschannel made it amazing. Moral of the story.."The world's a playground. You know that when you are a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it." - Allison
