Nobody is Everything of Anything Except Theirself

Nobody is everything of anything except themselves.

That is just my short way of saying that people aren't truly everything they may label themselves as. There are always exceptions.

I feel like I don't need to provide any examples. What is any label that you give yourself?

Arthur C. Clarke's Three Laws of Prediction

Arthur C. Clarke was a British writer and wrote three "laws" about predictions. They are as follows:

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

My summary of the first point is, "the future is possible", "don't discount the future", or perhaps "".

My summary of the second point is, "Don't give up until you try. Then try harder."

My summary of the third point is, "technology is magic."

Bonus Quote: "Perhaps it is better to be un-sane and happy, than sane and un-happy." - Arthur C. Clarke

Out of the ~100 more quotes I read by him, here are a few more that stood out:

• Interesting: "One of the biggest roles of science fiction is to prepare people to accept the future without pain and to encourage a flexibility of mind. Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories."
• Enjoyable: Clarke's Law of Revolutionary Ideas: Every revolutionary idea — in science, politics, art, or whatever — seems to evoke three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the phrases:
  • (1) "It's completely impossible — don't waste my time";
  • (2) "It's possible, but it's not worth doing";
  • (3) "I said it was a good idea all along."
• Sounds Good: "I have great faith in optimism as a guiding principle, if only because it offers us the opportunity of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy."

Artist of the Day: Johnny Cash and Panic! At The Disco

Yesterday I was listening to Johnny Cash most of the time because a part of the trailer for "Django Unchained" reminded me of him.

Today's music of the morning was Christmas music and by the evening time now, Panic! At the Disco is taking over my speakers.

Random Lyrics of the Day - Close to You by The Capenters

"Why do birds suddenly appear..♫♪" suddenly popped into my head. So, I had to listen to it again to remind myself how it all goes.

"Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you."
"Why do stars fall from the sky every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you."
On the day you were born the angels got together and decided to make a dream come true..

- Close to You by The Carpenters

Third Choice Idea

I have just thought up with what I have now decided to call, a 'third-choice idea.' I think you understand what that means just from itself.

Usually people try to determine between two choices, this or that, right or wrong, yes or no. But, there is at least a third option, maybe. And this is a great time to mention fuzzy logic also, I'm glad I took that class at USF. And Isaac Asimov's The Relativity of Wrong while I am thinking of it.

I believe there is always another way to look at things happening around. Don't be satisfied with your current limited viewpoint.

Hmm, I guess compromise would be a synonym of third-choice. But, think of the word "compromise" as having a positive connotation.. at least you are getting part of something you wanted.

"Alternative" would be a better synonym, the way I'm thinking of a third choice ideas.. Perhaps even the word "innovative" would be my best choice for describing a third choice idea.

Now, when I start talking about third-choice ideas in my blog posts I'll have something to refer back to.
