Being Liked Is Overrated
Being liked is overrated. You do not need people to like you. You need them to respect you. You may like your gateman, but you‘ll never obey him. You may dislike your boss, but you will never disobey him. That alone proves that respect is more useful than being liked. So stop trying to be nice. There…

2018年的暑假已過了四分三了，某部份同學因為學制關係，甚至已經開始上學。在日本，亦意味住平成年間的夏天在今年會正式終結，明年的夏天將會在新的年號中渡過，為今年的暑假增添了多重的意義。
至於我，因工作的關係，今個暑假的每個星期都有機會踏足到灣仔，向同學教授結他，適逢每年一度的書展，近城隍廟之原故亦不妨下課後到書展一趟。老實講，對於書展的車水馬龍以及潮流對書本的沖擊所產生的陰陽怪氣，相信令不少人(包括我)敬而遠之，但難得有機會能夠一大清早在灣仔，無理由浪費這個機會，亦趁機可感受下暑假的氣氛，畢竟在好多人眼中書展是暑假的象徵，沒有書展，暑假彷彿就是不完整似的。

Hermes Trismegisto, one of the greatest masters of our history, said once: “ all truths are but half truths and every truth is half false”. The truths in which the science, the mathematics, the physics, and other disciplines proclaim aren’t exactly truths. They are just half truths, because those disciplines don’t consider the side our eyes cannot…

Yes. This point really speaks to me. Sometimes I look at my life (also one that I have “chosen", away from my home country and anything remotely familiar) and I wonder where the choice came from. A desire to be different? To follow the path of “success”? To take advantage of all the benefits of the country in question? To look like I have my life all…
One of the things I reiterated to my children as they grew up was that every choice has a consequence…

It’s counter intuitive, but maybe our reservoir is saved for when what we’re doing actually matters.
Ermon,
A beautiful piece of writing going deep into the working of the brain of human beings.
Science and neurological science has tried to study portions and parts. In reality everything is in coexistence.Studying the brain without relating it to the conscience makes the study incomplete.

For so long, I always thought that there was something wrong with me for not being able to express myself, feel emotions like other people at the right time, be completely vulnerable.

“The systems of the world will try to take your confidence.
But these systems were designed to make you sit down on your gift.”
It happens.
As long as we identify as humans, we are likely to act with humanity. It is when folks subjugate themselves to mindless rules and cultures of certain roles that they become capable of being monsters.
