Sneaking a few minutes
between final year revisions
for a brief respite.
My recent writings have been about
having positive paradigms in life.
A Paradigm is
the way you see something.
Your paradigm
shapes your beliefs,
and point of view.
Paradigms
are the glasses you wear.
Wrong lenses, wrong beliefs.
At 13,
I always thought it was
normal
that I couldn't see the prefects and teachers'
faces from where I stood during assembly
every morning.
Until I got my eyesight checked
and started wearing glasses.
Boy,
my world became so clear
after that.
We don't know how much we're missing w
hen we have messed-up paradigms.
We could believe
what's wrong
to be right.
What's possible
to be impossible.
Yes,
even the apparently,
intelligent people,
aren't exempted from messing up too.

Let these people show you how:

regardless of all
future scientific advances.'
