This Is WHY I Started This BookMark, aka Blog … or Read Its Name

Are you afraid of ideas/thinking?
Thinking is asking questions, outside any kind of sandbox, it is simple, it is …
BASIC.
Do not blame me for your insecurities.

“nobody can save you but

yourself.

you will be put again and again

into nearly impossible

situations.

they will attempt again and again

through subterfuge, guise and

force

to make you submit, quit and/or die quietly

inside.

nobody can save you but

yourself

and it will be easy enough to fail

so very easily

but don’t, don’t, don’t.

just watch them.

listen to them.

do you want to be like that?

a faceless, mindless, heartless

being?

do you want to experience

death before death?

nobody can save you but

yourself

and you’re worth saving.

it’s a war not easily won

but if anything is worth winning then

this is it.

think about it.

think about saving your self.
”

“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

Is it a crime to like books?
… To take a peek around, standing on the shoulders of brave people?

Knowledge vs. Intelligence

via theLoop

Anthony Colangelo:

…


I was working in Laravel, the new era PHP framework, which Olivier has never worked with (nor does he work with PHP).

…


We pored through the codebase together—I walked him through the application and the framework, and he asked probing questions about what was happening internally. Since Olivier isn’t deeply familiar with Laravel, he asks different questions than I do, and those questions led us to interesting parts of the framework that I wouldn’t have gotten to alone

…


The difference between knowledge and intelligence is key here. Knowledge is the collection of skills and information a person has acquired through experience. Intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge. Just because someone lacks knowledge of a particular subject doesn’t mean they can’t apply their intelligence to help solve problems.

Knowledge is wonderful, but it fades as techniques and technologies come and go. Intelligence sustains. Its borders extend beyond any technique or technology, and that makes all the difference.

To me, intelligence is the result of our predisposition to interact with our surroundings.
I have interacted with people incapable of dealing with others without holding preconceived ideas, people so intrenched in character ( a mask ) that they become blind to things around them, all they end up seeing is what they want to see, what does not challenge them, because challenge is the last thing they want. Hence the mask

The more we strip ourselves of stigmas and embrace the unknown as a starting point, the more and better we are able to see.

Intelligence results from seeing clearly, after all.


Use your own eyes to SEE the world. If you fail, it will be graceFOOL (AH,AH!), because you were unafraid of the wild …
Be intelligent, use yr own senses.
… And ASK questions ( even to yourself ).


What DO you think?

The Last Hope or Is Your Acceptance, A Thing I Should Be Longing For? or yet, Common Sense, Common Sense! Where Art Thou?

Ever felt?
Like, when a smile
Smells like A trap?
Have you?

… And

Why Tell Lies, Manipulate … Or Is It Difficult To Undress The Illusion Of Superiority’s Trench Coat?

“Avoid shrinking yourself to accommodate those who refuse to grow.”

— (via leseanthomas)

See?
Anything here reeks of common sense.
Common sense's border is not outside anyone's reach.
