Thinking II

Mimi was talking about a friend who "whined" to Mimi about how she doesn't have money. When Mimi went out with her, she realised why that friend doesn't have money. She splurges.

Elan said that a lot of people are typical-just like those people you see in the market. They don't look at things from a broad perspective. They are narrow in their thinking, only concerned about short-term stuff, mundane matters than long-term affairs and interests. I think that has got to do with education. Will an educated person think narrowly? Possibly. Then what is the purpose of his education? In any case, some successful people are uneducated but are visionaries.

10-year plans seem too long range for me. 10 years seem to stretch so far away into the future. Yet, I know I'm only kidding myself. I have wasted half of my time and will probably waste the other half. I suppose the skeptic in me is responsible for the measured pace I take.

I do not think it's good to think too much. The great philosophers must be depressed people. Then again, the power of the mind cannot be underestimated.
