School of Thoughts
For the past 2 hours, i've been spending my time google-ing for my Ralph Waldo Emerson's favourite quote.. "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us" and I end up reading all those tons of brilliant quotations. I do love quotations and I love reading them. I used to write down all my fav quotes into this browny book, sorf of a small quote book for my own collection of inspirational and motivational quotations. But I dont do that anymore for a quite some time.. and I cant even remember where the heck the book is, shoot!
by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. In fact, it is as difficult to appropriate the thoughts of others as it is to invent.."
"People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.."
by John Wooden:
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.."
by Frank Outlaw:
"Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.."
and last but not least, again a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, he quotes.. "Stay at home in your mind. Don't recite other people's opinions. I hate quotations. Tell me what you know..". LOL..

ouh! i pon suke quote dan i cukop suke mencipte quotes i sendri :D
cthnye, i pernah beritahu kat encik erik: "everybody starts with nirvana, but never ends with nirvana"
yg mane i maksodkan..siapa2 yg into rock music, pd awal mengenali rock itu sendri, mesti menggilai band nirvana, tp through the years berevolusi dan bereksperimentasi dgn pelbagai jenis music tidak akan berakhir dgn menggilai nirvana lagi!
mcm i dlu2 mmg suke nirvana, tp skang i rasa bjork, radiohead, sigur ros, mum jauh lg baik dr nirvana. nirvana ni pd i, hanya boleh dikaitkan dgn teen spirit and angst aje.
so dr situ kite bleh bwat deduction bhw, bg siape2 yg claim masih menggilai nirvana selepas 10 tahun kununnya 'into' music sebenarnye mmpunyai hati yg tak terbuka untuk mendengar, meng-explore dan bereksperimentasi dgn music2 baru. ekeke :D
p/s: ah pjg plak komen ni. lari tajok plak tu :|
lol.. beh, bak kata emerson.. everybody quotes! and he also said tht dont recite other people's opinions.. so okla tu u come out with ur own, be brilliant with words..
ai pn kdg2 tak sengaja bwat quotes sendiri, haha.. time2 tgh bg free "consultation" to others ;p just like u always do kan beh? haha..
i loooove emerson too. ;)
