Haven't been really into some serious blogging for quite sometime already. Currently i am sitting and typin in a very unqiue position, just to make myself feel more comfortable. I have been fine, and the swelling on my leg which endured the "trauma" are receding slowly away. Somehow a gd sign as i am feeling some strength on my left knee too though much portion of muscle are being wasted away.

The reason why i haven't been blogging much is i can't find a time to sit down n cash them down into my"bank of emotions and thoughts". The speed of my life have decreased significantly, from 180rpm to maybe like 50rpm. I am a slow machine now. However, this slow down in physical speed allowed me to do things with all the time i can have. Not a luxury to most pple around this bussy world. But deep down in the mechanism of e machine, i discovered that the processing speed have increased notably. The thoughts, reasoning that are going through are all speeded up. I would say this reversal is a trade-off. More than often, our mind are too preoccupied by matters of our "busy" life that we let other things go in e other way, often unnoticed and un-processed. The quintessence of life was lost, and our life become meaningless. Right now, i feel quite blessed by the higer-being above, He gave me time to think through my life.

I have been keeping this little black notebknow, to pencil down some of my thoughts, I guess i will share it online when time is right. It's my new bank of emotions and thoughts. The number of pages of paper should last me through this period of time.

I have been reading freakonomics to discover a hidden side of everything. It is based and pictured upon by a few beautiful crafted illustrations - the alternative explanations. And the correlation between morality and economics, which is also being explained beautifully by the author. No doubt it's a international best seller. Some interesting points in e bk.

1. Incentives are e cornerstione life
To understand and exploit, we must find the key of interest

2. Conevntional wisdom is often wrong
Only through observations and studies of patterns, can the truism of a picture be fully seen.

3. Dramatic effects have distant even subtle causes
Our life begins with a starting point and changes when we hit a turning point -this create movement in life.

4. Expert use their informational advantage to serve their agenda.

5. Knowing what to measure and how to measure makes a complicated world much less so.

The italic portion is my personal understanding of the points, yet to fully fathom point 4 and 5 .
Well so any incentives is inherently a trade-off, the trick is to balance the extremes.

"MORALITY REPRESENTS THE WAY WE WOULD LIKE THE WORLD TO WORK AND ECONOMICS REPRESENTS HOW IT ACTUALLY DOES WORK"
