NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST

Who said that those who are wander are lost? who came up with that saying? What if they are actually thinking of what they have have to do, their agendas, problem etc and they actually know what they are thinking about. i tend to wander alot, but not because im lost, because my attention is taken by my thoughts and paying attention to my thoughts.

a poem by Tolkein goes like this:
All that is gold does not glitter,
not all those who wander are lost;
the old that is strong does not wither,
deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
a light from the shadows shall spring;
renewed shall be blade that was broken,
the crownless again shall be king.
-J. R. R. Tolkien from The Lord of the Rings

we might not see things the same way and we might wander why somethings were made different, just because the next person wandered why other things happen different does not mean thy are lost.

HOW DO YOU STEP FROM THE TOP OF A 100-FOOT POLE

How did i get there from the first place? Did i fly, did i take some stairs or ladder what? but i got there anyways, i have got to say it is scary, having to look down and knowing that when i go down i will be going back to reality, going back to face the problems of life,the argumnets, the jealousy and the backstabbing. i have got to say that where I am right now is quiet comfortable, no worries whatsoever just relaxation. while i am here i have the chance to listen to myself, have me time and think about the important things about klife and what other people have said to me about life and other important aspects. i will be inquiring deeply about my emotions and feelings and why certain things in life hacve to happen or why there are happening.

The question is, do i want to go back down "there"? it is much more comfortable here, im taking a gap from life and other problems, it is all about me and thinking through life.
 i do not want to know" how do you step from the top of a 100-foot pole" because i love being ontop and being here too.

SCHOOL

I keep wondering who came up with the whole thing of school and i keep wondering how life would be without school, would we be where we are right now, doing the things we do, stressing and getting the high wages that we want. i wonder waht would life be if we had not need to go to school or work. would they be the kinds of technology that we are using now, the life we living and the jobs that some of us have. who thought that school is one of the important things in life and we have to go to school to gain the knowledge we have today and other things all thanks to school.

The point of school is something that seems to go over a lot of people's heads. Nobody cares what you learn in school. At all. I mean come on. Who cares if you can remember the quadratic formula or that Au is the symbol for gold.
What school does for you is give you problems. Doesn't matter what that problem is. Math problems, English papers, famous historic events...Whatever. School throws these things at us so that we can look at what is there and solve it.
It is a matter of what you have learned but also, that you were able to take a problem that you knew nothing about before and figure it out. It is the development of the mind and the accessibility of what is out there that makes school so important.

FRIENDS

Source: glitters123.com. friends
WHAT IS A FRIEND? We all have different definitions/explaination as to what is a friend but to me a friend is someone close to you heart and special. A friend is:
  • your sister
  • your bestfriend
  • the one person you can trust
  • the one person that is always there for you(a shoulder to cry on)
  • the one that knows you best.
i have got the craziest bunch of friends at all times, with them there is never a dull moment. you forget your worries and they lift your spirit up at all times. lets just think for a moment, what would our lives be like without any friends, because at the end, friends are like family there is that ond that nobody can do about it. A friend is someone who tells you whenever you do something wrong that you are wrong and will always tell you the truth no matter what.
good friends are always by your side no matter what.
a friend is like a hug, it is very special.
a friend is some who listens.

WE ARE WHAT WE DO

If one behaves in a certain manner,if he or she is rowdy,rude, loud etc that person is showing people what kind of a person he or she is. it is said that if you want to know a persons character you will to look at his or her circle of friends. meaning that if my are the type of people that smoke,rob people thats us. WE ARE WHAT WE DO. action speak louder than words. people become what they do. According to Timothy and Wilson(psychologist) "People draw inferences about who they are, by observing their own behavior."

Self-perception theory turns common wisdom on its head. People act the way they do because of their personality traits and attitudes, right?  we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are. Self-perception theory thus anticipated the revolution in psychology in the study of human consciousness, a revolution that revealed the limits of introspection, says Timothy and Wilson.

we often judge people by their behaviour,if we have seen a certain individual behaving in a certain manner we will change that she is that type of person. maybe this one night she was stressed and had too much to drink and was acting all kind of funny and vomiting, we will judge her/him according to that and say he/she is the type that gets wasted. the saying is true 'WE ARE WHAT WE DO". If you have applied for a job and that certain company goes to your facebook page and sees the things you post  and will see from all those things what kind of an individual are you. WE ARE WHAT WE DO.

i have always been that shy person, who only is opened up to those i am comfortablw with, i was always scared of huge crowds, having to do speeches and presentation. first year i was really afraid of doing presentation infront of my fellow students, i do not know whether it was a phobia of some sort or what but i was scared. as the year went by still my nerves and afraid wishing that i would just disappear in thin air when i have to do my presentation. second year, presentations still and im like, i chose Public Relations for a reason and i knew that if i wanted to pass and graduate i had to go through the presentations and do them well. all along i was afraid of the wrong thing.
