Ideas ideas ideas...

Ideas, that’s what we all call it, but there are some many other relatable words that are almost the same; opinions, views, thoughts, visions, and many more. What I like about my brain, or “the brain” is that it’s a very powerful weapon, but can only be operated when it falls to the right hands. I personally think that all our brains are the same, might not be the same shape or in the same condition in term of health. In some special cases though, very small teeny tiny amount of people have special brains, and I’m sure there’s always explanations to why it is how it is. But, overall, I think we are very very even, so even that there can never be an argument about the inequality of our brains; at least I don’t see that kind of debate coming soon as of now.

Ideas aren’t always amazing, you can’t always just suddenly have a idea of making the world’s most powerful nuke, it doesn’t work like that, and for the people who are expecting themselves to always bring out ONLY their best ideas and be very very about it; well, great/awesome/incredible/impossible ideas do not JUST come like that. In fact, you should never stop yourself from letting the ideas flow, unless you’ve really have done something real great about an idea you got and now you just need time to relax and read a book while drinking a glass of cocktail on the beach. Great ideas or lame ideas, they all are ideas, the more the better, why? because that means you’re very active, your brain is very productive. Some might think that the lame ideas we all get from our brains are unless and a waste of time just to think about it, well I think you’re slightly wrong about that, it’s not about whether the ideas are great or lame, it’s the timing. Timing decides everything about your ideas, when you want something and someone goes to you and just hand that one thing you always wanted to you, how would you respond? nahhh, I’m not taking it? of course you would take it and say as many “thank you” you could possibly say, and that’s what we all mistaken as “a or the great idea”, and vice versa, as “a or the lame idea”.

Enough of explaining what an idea is, let’s get started with why I brought this up. So, some nights ago, I dozed at around 9 - which I would never ever intend to do, and when I woke up around 2:30 in the morning, still in bed, but was thinking. Something hit me up, so sudden, I don’t even remember what was on my mind at that time when this thought came along, because normally there has to be a starting point of a process of thinking, not in my case, not this time. I was thinking about writing articles, at 2:30 am in the morning, it’s not even a thing I’m obsessed with, I mean I do like writing a a lot, but not so much that it would make me think of it at 2:30 am. So I was thinking about things to write about, since my summer break has started - it started long time back, it’s just that I’m feeling a bit lazy, if you want to know why, please read what I wrote yesterday first before even thinking of proceeding with this one. Okay okay… So… I was thinking about getting into writing articles again, I unintentionally took a very long and unforgivable break, that’s one of the reason why I want to get into it again. Writing is very fun, especially when I get to write freely, when there’s a small random topic to talk about and you just do not feel pressure at all writing it. People say when you do something you really like, you’ll forget about everything that is around you and never get bothered; not in my case, I write so that everything that is bothering me will come to me and show themselves and I MIGHT as well find solutions to fixing THEM.

SEE? FREE WRITING MAKES ME VERY EXCITED THAT I COULD JUST JUMP INTO DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS OF TOPICS IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.

That morning, the moment I started thinking about it, I took my phone that was charging nearby and just opened “Notes” and started spamming the keyboards with whatever was on my mind. The idea of getting back into writing articles again was not the “great” idea, the “great” idea was that I got some articles ideas and I will be writing more about them in more days to come. [if i don’t slack off again, hopefully not. :))]

One more thing, I really do think that ideas come more at night, when you’re so tired and very low on battery, that’s when it hits you and I think that’s always why people tend to just not pick it up - which is a shame, really. I don’t know whether it is just me, whether it’s just that I happened to always get ideas at night, I really don’t know. Scientifically, you can get that side of the answer on Google.

See? I was thinking of ending this article here and just put a nice quote to make give it a “the story ended happy forever after” kind of feel, but I, then, thought that it is to typical and obvious of me for doing so, so I ended up not doing it. But anyways, hehehe…

“NEVER STOP IDEAS FLOWING, AND NEVER STOP PICKING IT UP.”

Laziness and the lack of integrity

Ahhhh…. *deeeep deep breathe

LAZINESS, the classics quality that literally everyone has.

The signs of being lazy is very clear and we, ourselves, see it first, but most of the time, wouldn’t care to care about it, and that’s the only reason why the laziness keeps on increasing. Laziness can be prevented, but cannot be banished from any of our lives, nature just doesn’t allow that to happen. It can only be decreased or increased, and if you’re lucky enough to have that ability and to use it however/whenever/wherever you want, then you must have either put in so much effort or was given by God as a gift. Laziness is insanely addictive, people don’t really know that, but it’s in our nature and we live with it. It can be very dangerous, and can also be very very useful if you stop it.

Laziness is just the bridge to the disaster that always happened to us, the fact that we know that we’re lazy, but still deny the fact and go on slacking off as if nothing has happened; that’s the lack of integrity. Integrity has a lot of meanings, some are very deep, some are simple, but here’s how I understand it. You see… Integrity is like a function in our minds, they are in everyone’s, and it has been automatically used no matter we like it or not. Integrity works like a mirror, you see what you’re doing, mostly the things that are wrong and has to be changed right away, and when you are not willing to accept the mistakes and fix it when you see it right in front of you, that’s the lack of integrity; lying your mind that it is okay to delay, to postpone, to cancel, to “let’s do it next time”. 

To be very honest, it happens to everyone, including myself, in many many cases as well. But what’s good about it is that it never goes away, it’s like a very stubborn kid throwing tantrums at you until you get either the point or just do what the kid says just to relieve the annoyance; in either case, you win, all the time!

That kid will always be there, waiting to fight with you, never for you, unless you have so much integrity. Sometimes, you just have to listen to that kid, although most of the time you wouldn’t like to do so, but you know… maybe the ice-cream is really the key to everything.
