Leaving Things Undone

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.   --Lin Yutang

How do individuals defined #901

The individual is defined only by his relationship to the world and to other individuals; 
he exists only by transcending himself, and his freedom can be achieved only through the freedom of others.

 --Simone de Beauvoir

Never regret anything

Your agenda

Your agenda:

Most of the time, if you ask someone about their agenda, it turns out that it involves doing what's on someone else's agenda. 

I need to do this for my boss, this for my husband, that for the PTSA and this other thing for the kids. As soon as you turn over your agenda to others, you're giving up one of the biggest opportunities you have to contribute. 

Setting an agenda is often as important as checking the boxes. Obviously, you can't be part of any system without engaging with other people and their agendas.  

But perhaps we've absorbed that habit so completely that we've ceded all responsibility and in fact don't even have an agenda any longer...

The #revolution

As to the history of the revolution, my ideas may be peculiar, perhaps singular. 

What do we mean by the Revolution? 

The war? 

That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. 

The revolution was in the minds of the people. 

--John Adams

An idealist believes the short run doesn't count.
A cynic believes the long run doesn't matter.
A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run.

--Sydney J. Harris

To steal

Torture

The one thing we know about torture is that it was never designed in the first place to get at the actual truth of anything; it was designed in the darkest days of human history to produce false confessions in order to annihilate political and religious dissidents. And that is how it always works: it gets confessions regardless of their accuracy. --Andrew Sullivan

Real eyes realize real lies

Kenapa ayam melintas? (pandangan tokoh terkemuka)

Samy Vellu:
Kita sude bikin banyak jembatan, itu ayam musti guna jembatan untuk melintasi itu jalan. Lagi pun kalu itu ayam mau pigi jalan-jalan, bagitau sama saya juga, saya bolley buat lebbey banyak toll... itu jambatan mesti ada tahan 100 tahun. Lain kali bole kasi tutup... kita boleh survey mana ada rosak.

Karam Singh Walia (TV3):
Seperti saudara dapat lihat, kelihatan ayam-ayam itu sedang melintas jalan. Mereka bukan sahaja melintas jalan, malah membuang najis di atas jalan dan ini adalah pencemaran yang paling dasyat di maya ini. Bapa-bapa dan ibu-ibu ayam haruslah mengambil inisiatif untuk melatih ayam-ayam agar menahan najis sewaktu melintas jalan. Seperti pepatah melayu berkata.. ayam di jalan di lintaskan; ayam di reban mati tak makan.

Wan Kamarudin (Edisi Siasat NTV7):
Apa kejadahnya ini semua, KL dah jadik reban ayam, mak bapak ayam asyik menganga saja. Ayam semua dah besar kepala...dan dah tak nak duduk reban... dan bertambah biadap dan buat perkara yg tak masuk dek akal!

Zainal Arifin Ismail (Misteri Nusantara TV3):
Ada saksi menyatakan yang mereka dapat melihat ayam-ayam ini melintasi jalan-jalan di kampong ini pada waktu malam. Ada yang menyatakan ayam-ayam ini merupakan penyamaran jin. Dan ada juga mengaitkan ia berkaitan dengan peristiwa silam di kampong ini. Apakah maksud tersirat ayam-ayam ini melintas jalan? Oleh itu saya akhiri, "Jangan biarkan hidup anda diselubungi... MISTERI"

Zainal Alam Kadir (Wayang Kita Astro):
"Ayam siapa kalau bukan ayam kita"

Abdul Fatah Haron (PAS Rantau Panjang):
Ayam-ayam yang melintas ini semua adalah kerana mereka ayam-ayam yang GATAL!

Md. Said Yusof (BN Jasin):
Apa salahnya... biarkan mereka melintas...tutup sebelah mata ajelah... ayam-ayam terlebih besar sikit sahaja. Lagi pun semuanya itu ayam saya.

Shahrir Abdil Samad (ex Pengerusi BBC):
Ini adalah prinsip saya. Ayam-ayam tak boleh dibenarkan melintas jalan. Kalau beginilah, maka ianya bertentangan dengan prinsip saya, maka saya RESIGN!!!

Bill Gates:
I have just released the new Chicken Office 2006, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Microsoft will pledge a billion for research on chicken AIDS.

Dr M:
You know, I am tired of all this....'apa nama' chicken-chicken bisnes...you know that it is our right to build the bridge on our side of the straits.... So why are we Chicken out??

Pak Lah:
Ini semua adalah khabar angin sahaja... jangan percaya khabar-khabar angin ini semua... biasalah ini adalah taktik pembangkang untuk memecah belahkan perpaduan ayam-ayam semua... Jangan percaya... We've decided to scrap the scenic bridge for the best interest of the people... nothing to do with chicken. And of course others have the right to express their opinion... ini biasalah.

I believe- That just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I believe- That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
