Imagination
Imagine. Imagine yourself sitting down closing your eyes. Next ur transported into the near future. Maybe 1 or 2 weeks? Imagine sitting there perhaps in my case, in a boring classroom...Not quite pleasing i assume.
Next you move forward a month or 2 in time. Imagine sitting for an examination feeling the anxiety. Imagine yourself ace the examination and score multiple A1s. You become the top scorer in class and your teacher praises you. Next you may have competitions in june. Imagine all the fans cheering for you. Now imagine you get gold and you see alot of people rushing up to hug you and congratulate you for your efforts. Perhaps for the scouts, imagine you have received your chief commissioner's award. Imagine the glory and respect your gonna get.
Now as we move forward 2 years in time. Here comes in my case the O levels...Once again you get straight As. Imagine everyone coming up to congratulate you. Imagine the joy of entering a top college or wadever.
Next imagine gratuating from university with say...A PhD...hah, now you get addressed as Dr...lol
Anyway as we move on lets say 10 years in time. Imagine yourself running a successful career. You are a multi-millionaire. You own a mansion with wadever facilites there are inside. You have the perfect spouse and great children, imagine how much they appreciate what you give them, and how much joy that brings into you.
Imagine your career has been so successful that you receive awards such as the nobel prize, acedemy awards, etc...Imagine, all your years of determination and hardwork has all paid off. Now imagine yourself giving a 5 min speech. You must be going,"What the hell?! a lifetime full of work and you have to sumarize it in 5 mins? What the f*** are u thinking man?"...Then after your speech as you walk back to your seat, u finally realise what "Tears of joy" really means.
Now imagine yourself standing tall and strong. Under you there is a pond. You see a reflection of yourself. Now imagine faces of your family members, loved ones and friends in the pond looking back at you smiling. Now place a finger into the pond and imaginine the ripples created. This is the effect of what your work has done on them.
FLASHBACK OVER...
Now there you are sitting in the present. Your present is a gift (thats why its called present, right? lol lame...) Now whatever you have done in the past, forget about it...Remember what you have imagined, all of it is possible. Not convinced? Wait till you hear that all inventions first started out with imagination. You've seen a space shuttle? You've seen a computer? You've seen a television? You've seen a telephone? You've seen a light blub? If you have asked those qns like around 100 - 200 years ago, the reply you get from most people would be,"are you retarded? go mental hospital fly kite lah!"...These negative comments shut out most ideas. However as you look back, those inventions have started out from pure fantasy, had our dearest inventors listened to those negative comments, we wont have knowledge of space, we wont have laptops or desktops, we wont have entertainment on screen, we'll have harder communication means, we would of course also be living in darkness without light. Yet these people do not take others' negative opinions into consideration and just did it anyway. And did we get all those inventions today? YES! So that means imagination is more important than most of you have ever thought. And remember again, all of those concepts have first started out with wild imaginations.
Now to end off the post before you get bored of hearing this retarded fella (me) ranting even more retarded stuff, i shall leave you with with familiar phrases. Your future is in your hands. As long as you have a goal towards your future, anythings possible!
