Why I have conversations?

I communicate with someone to get my point across, this is my main aim in conversations other than just pointing out simple comments.

Conversations with a group of people to maybe only one or two can be hard if you don't now what to say or your don't have a point decided in your mind before the conversation has already taken place. Conversations help you to get to know the other person; their character and see what topics they see of interest compared to your own.

Having a conversation with someone can also be a stress reliever, when you have something on your mind that would be easier to communication with someone else and make the load easier for you to handle.

Before you start a conversation always know what your about to say - perhaps discuss or say what you would say in your mind and try to interpret what the other persons reaction would be, this wont make you look stupid at the end of the day or your conversation pointless.

My BIG fat dream

I cant say that I ever really had a big fat dream or even remembered it the next morning. Lately, i seem to dream about violent things, which I think might be due to the high rise of stress in my life with studying and working.

I can honestly say that I can only remember small dream pieces yet, this only lasts about 10 minutes after I wake in the morning. If I'm able to choose what to dream I would dream about my life before this one. A dream so profound that it would really be one to remember although my life and not just 10 minutes in the morning.

I would imagine myself being an Egyptian queen, a slave who knows, to experience someones life where in the end if might have been mine. Now this would be considered as a BIG fat dream.

It is something that i feel cannot be ignored let alone forgotten, something that I can tell my friends and that will give me experiences that I know I cannot experience in reality.

Conventional is a good fallback position isn't it

Well, we all see ourselves as different and it is good to be different yet, what if being different doesn't work out for you at all? What if being alone in your originality can some what be boring - conventional can be a good fallback position.

By following the normal customs and practices one can easily fall in societal backgrounds and follow the mediocre set of society. It is about you conforming to a set of standards which is seen as symbolic to society and will be able to welcome you straight in -with open arms.

By choosing a conventional path your agreeing to a set of standards and yes, it is hard to follow instructions and let alone instructions that are considered norm in society. You have to change your behaviour, your attitude and you actions - what ever you do is determined by what society expects from you.

At the end of the day if being accepted by society is all that you want well, going the conventional route wouldn't be such a bad idea.

You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time

You cannot take on two goals at the same time, its like chasing two rabbits, who might not end up in the same hole at the end of the day.

Chasing two goals at the same time is like a dead end at the end at the end of the road and you can only turn left or right, you can only choose the one or the other and cannot choose both. Once people decide to chase two goals in life, I find the you don't accomplish any other. For example you cant choose to travel and want to build a family at the same time.

Although, these are good goals in life, the one conflicts with the other and will both pull you into different directions, which is like running after two rabbits, they are both extremely fast and will defiantly not follow each other in the same direction.

At the end of the day it is as important as breathing to make the right decision for you.

Nothing is more dangerous than an idea

You know the notion that if plan A doesn't work out you should follow plan B? Yet, what if it happens that you have only thought of plan A as the perfect plan - "Plan A" and it doesn't work out - then what - usually you move onto plan B.

An idea is something powerful, big or small it is powerful on its own. Albert Einstein is widely know for his genius mind and many knowledgeable ideas and discoveries yet, how do we know that those ideas arose from idea A or idea Z.

The fact of the matter is that having alternative plans to back up your idea or ideas is a cleaver thing to do, a clever strategy should always accompany your idea of which to the end you can go so far as to save your integrity.

Have you figured out your second head fake?

My head fake is all about how to lead my life in the right path, ultimately what is the right path? The path of trust, to trust all those around me and being honest in all that I do basically, these are the things that we ought to know within each and every passing day.

I believe that the way you lead your life will eventually determine your outcome - karma will lead towards the finish line therefore it is important to lead a life of integrity. I think that we should all understand the notion that life is not at all times fair and we have to learn to deal with it therefore, it is important to know where you are as an individual and know where your going.

It is important to know that there are no handouts in life and that you have to work for what you want in life. I think that I have understood my second head fake - yet, still have many more things that I need to understand and monitor my actions in line with spiritually and making sure that when I fall that I pick myself up again and again until I succeed.

How hard is it to follow instructions?

Instructions are usually clear and simple yet, no matter how bright you are I'm sure that there will be an instruction that you've either left out or one that you're not sure about.

For example the brightest of kid in class hands in there 50 page essay thinking that the larger the essay the larger the mark. Guess, again buddy, the instructions limit your assignment to 10 pages and now the student will get penalized by probably 15%.

Another example are page numbers and here i can say that I'm in fault. The simplest of instruction, all I have to do is click a button and 'poof' I've got page numbers. I think that when it comes to instructions, those that listen - that actually listen will follow instructions clearly and the outcome of their mark will determine that.

Moving away from educational instructions, you have normal day to day instructions which i believe is the hardest as you don't have someone to explain things to you. You will have to hope and pray that your reading the instructions clearly. Such as, when you need to warm pop - corn in the microwave although I know what to do as I have done this over and over I would read the instructions as I know the consequences.

Our behaviour to follow instructions will bring forth the outcome.
