Amazing Things Can Be Found Everywhere

I went in Mind Museum to be amazed about the facts in universe and humans. I was really amazed by things that I found there though I am not a kid anymore. It is still amazing to visit museums... In fact that was my first time to visit one of the popular museums in our country. :)

It is amusing knowing that amazing things can be found almost everywhere like thinking the fact that I am are here, being part of this universe is just wow...amazing. You know, just being able to experience life and enjoying the gifts of nature really is a big thing to me.

You should have time and you'll realize how lucky you are to be part of this planet.

Here are some of the chosen pictures at the museum (of course I won't post clear pic of myself haha):

Here's the amazing quotes from Serbian Proverb that really reminds me about this:

And here's a video from youtube that you must watch to be inspired:

Here's the transcript:

What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the universe?

The most astounding fact, the most astounding fact is the knowledge, that the atoms comprise life on earth; the atoms that pick up the human body, are traceable to the crucibles, that cooked light elements into heavy elements in their core, under extreme temperatures and pressures. These stars, the high mass ones among them, went unstable in their later years. They collapsed and then exploded, scattering their enriched guts, across the galaxy. Guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. These ingredients become part of gas clouds, that condense, collapse, form the next generation of solar systems stars with orbiting planets and those planets now have ingredients for life itself. So that when I look up at the night sky, and I know that yes, we are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up. Many people feel small, because they’re small and the universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms, came from those stars. There is a level of connectivity. That’s really what you want in life, you want to feel connected, you want to feel relevant. You want to feel like your a participant in the goings on of activities and events around you. That’s precisely what we are, just by being alive.

LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE, THEY DON'T KNOW WHO ARE

Many people are chained with expectations set by other people. They are slaves of pleasing other people and are afraid to stand on their own. They are afraid to dissent from the majority because doing it might endanger their image. They don't want to be left out. Are you one of them? Are you afraid of what others might think of you? Are you conscious with your self-image?

Remember this quote from Preity Zinta:

People will always have an opinion but do not worry about it because there are times they do not also know how to run their lives that is why they try to waste their time on other people’s lives.

LOVERS

(Image Source)

When two people struck by Cupid,

Withered river of love will revive

World of their own soon will establish

Interference to their world by others

is highly forbidden. And you my fellow,

will be just a part of their world.

When two people are in love

Distinctions between them isn't important

What matters most is what they really are

And what they really feel from inside.

The magic and connection of lovers

Is infinite and mysterious.

Albeit we didn't see love’s formula,

We just feel it when it’s our turn.

We just know it. That’s love.

Magical. Full of life. Eternal.

PARADOX OF LIFE

(Source)

Life is the process of contradictions.

Have you tried to ponder about it?

I am human evolved from an animal

And my civility is from barbarity.

I am happy to be unhappy at times,

For sadness is the root of happiness.

Likewise laughter’s out of weep

And intrepid starts from fright.

Sometimes we are fortunate to be unfortunate;

Life isn’t lenient, there’s intricacies.

I am fortunate that sometimes unfortunate,

For I know now what life is.

Life is the process of contradictions.

I tried to ponder about it.

I found life began from nonexistence

As to light out of darkness.

How do we know the significance of life?

If we have everything in our hands.

How do we flicker our emotions?

If we don’t have any realization.

How do we know love?

If we don’t undergo with hurt.

How do we know victory?

If we don’t experience any defeat.

Now, you see the paradox in our lives?

We are bound to accept things as it is.

Whatever the cost of its hardships,

We must leave that all behind us.

TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO ASK QUESTIONS

Questions are important part of our lives. These helps us explore things around us, it provide clarity and satiates our mind when in doubt and uncertainty. However, I happened to be irritated by people who misuse questions. I bet you also know someone who is of this kind or somehow you encountered this even once in your life. 

I encountered a lot of people who ask questions. I saw them at home, classrooms or schools, seminars, workplace, and places where there are discussions. Based on my experience and my friends’ experience, I was able to classify the types of people who ask questions. Here they are:

SMAG (Smartass who Brags). This is a type of person who asks questions to elevate himself from the listeners and to impress them. Most of the time, he has prepared answers to his own questions. Usually, he will provide his own answer after the speaker finished answering the question. Revealing his own answer takes two forms: One, he provide an answer to his own question to show the lack of substance of speaker and two, to show his dissatisfaction to the speaker. This type of person has narcissistic tendencies. He tends to be right at all times and he wants to show to others how smart or great he is. Your nod and approval gives him a sense of worth. When you hate him, he will view it as a good indication that he is effective. Your hate means you envy him because he is great. 

Of all the types, this one and the mixed-type (which will be introduced later) really annoy me big time.

Whippersnapper. From the word itself, it is a young and inexperienced person who considered being overconfident. This type of person asks questions to brag themselves that they know better than you do. The difference between SMAG and whippersnapper is the former is smart while the latter does not actually have enough mental inclination. This one just have cocky attitude and has a tendency to argue with the speaker. Better leave this person because you will only waste your time. 

The Skeptics. This person asks questions to validate what they know. He is skeptical for sometime but there is always room for him to accept someone’s viewpoint. He usually asks questions for the benefit of the doubt. He loves to interact, give additional details to the speaker’s answers, and loves to share ideas. He is eager to learn new ideas. The only problem that you might encounter with this person is he do not accept easily your ideas, you must provide proofs to persuade him. 

Naysayers. No matter what you said or do, your answers are not enough. This is an individual who asks questions for the sake of opposing your ideas, not for the sake of truth. This person just loves arguments.

The Just-Folk. This person marked an absence of understanding of the topic. He does not really know any information that you just have said. He asks questions for the sake of understanding the topic. You can also call him cumulative type. You have to repeat what you just have said to imbed the information in his head.

The Great Pretender. This person ask question just to let you know that he is listening when in fact he is not. Usually, the questions asked was something you already mentioned. Beware of this person, he is only trying to cover up his lack of attention to the topic by asking off topic questions or nonessential questions. So aside from asking questions that were already mentioned, this person is marked by an absence of appropriate facial reactions, excessive nods when you are talking, hollowed look or pretense eye contact (looking at you but seemed thinking about something else), and excessive uh-huh after your statements.

Awkward-Breaker. This one asks questions to have an interaction with the speaker. This person just asks questions to get your attention and to break the silence. It is uncomfortable to have a deafening silence. Questions are also a way of getting your attention that someone is still listening although the questions raised by this person are nonessential. 

The Mixed-Type. Of all the types, this one is the most annoying. You really don’t want to encounter this type of person. You are unfortunate to have an interaction with this type. This type of person is a combination of smag, whippersnapper, and naysayer. Yes, you are really in trouble with this person. Hahaha. But don’t lose hope, my friend. This is only a challenge! Better keep silent and try not to argue with this person because you are not alone to notice that there something wrong with him! If you keep silent and avoid arguing with him, you’ll see that it will be better. People who listen to you and to this type of person will see you more positively than the one who acts aggressively towards you. 

I hope you enjoy this post. These are my own observations across situations. It is not a legitimate theory or any other personality disorders. Again, these things are not actually accurate because they are only part of my experience.
