Some introspective ideas...

I acquire something from every small experience in life. I like to look at the smallest detail and learn something from it. Nothing vital goes by without me noticing it because I believe that even in every-day experiences, there is something else to learn. There is a lesson to learn in what you do everyday. Being a truly knowledgeable individual, I believe, comes from this ability to be aware. Not of the news, the media but what goes on around you, what you are experiencing. Making connections between your own and others’ experiences, between your life and the life of a character in a book you have read long ago… These are essential to becoming fully human; the ability to not to miss a single thing you have seen or experienced. The ability to record everything in your brain and use it later… If you do not gather anything from what you experience then, what’s the use? Is it really living if you let everything slip by? If “life is what you make of it”, to make the most of it you have to recall most of it.
