7th Aug Rainy

The entire late afternoon to evening was cloudy and filled with rain at AMK.

Finish a hong kong drama today, was pretty good. Saw a psychology test in it at the last 3 episodes, where a group of 6 went for an experiment with 2 people conducting the test and explaining the results.

The test went like this:

Conductor: Now I will cover up this box with a black cloth, and here is a cube and a ball. I will put 1 of it inside, and each of you will take turns to put your hand in to feel what it is, but it must be very brief. After which, tell me what you think is inside the box.

The conductor subsequently placed a cube inside, and let the first 5 people touch it, and just before the last person came, they changed the cube to a ball.


Conductor: Now what do you think is inside the box?

The Conductor then ask the last person first, and he said its a ball.
He then ask the rest of the group while they all said cube in unison.

The Conductor then reconfirm the last person's answer by asking him whether he thinks its a cube or a ball again.

Last person: Its a cube I think.

The conductor then replied its a ball, and then removed the black cloth to show him that his first answer was correct indeed. He then explain the following, which is very meaningful.

Sometimes, the truth and answer is right before our eyes, but we refuse to believe in ourselves. Simply because, the others don't think the same. An answer from anyone could change , depending on the surroundings and the influences from other people. Many times, people already made their decisions, but are often afraid to execute them as they are afraid others might see him differently, and to behave differently, live differently from the others. Resulting in making a different decision from your original one.

It is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign that we lack confidence. Before even beginning to fight, we already lost half the battle. Such mindsets are set out to make you lose. And the scary part is? - We all went through it.


DDOJ:

A joke of different perspective and the power of beliefs.

It is all YOUR perspective – and you get to say what perspective you choose to believe. Neither one is wrong.

It's all in the punctuation:
An English professor wrote the words, "Woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard and directed his students to punctuate it correctly.
The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."
The women wrote: "Woman: Without her, man is nothing."



A Dog thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me... They must be Gods!

A cat thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me... I must be a God!








Adios.
