Meaningful Story: Jumping Flea

Today, I pick up the newspaper and found a quite meaningful story. Like most stories, it begins with …

“One day, there is a poor village and there are many fleas jumping around in the village. And then, a little boy called Billy brings a bottle and trying to catch the flea like most kids in the village will do for fun. Keep catching and catching, finally Billy caught one flea. Quickly, Billy covers the bottle with the bottle cap so that the flea won’t jump away. With satisfaction, Billy quickly run home and then stares at the flea after he has reached home…”

“…Having fun, Billy saw the stupid flea keep jumping as high as possible inside the bottle and hits the bottle cap. After a while, to his surprise the smart flea stops hitting the bottle cap anymore as it jump just enough not to hit the bottle cap. Feeling boring again, Billy leaves the flea and look for something else to play…”

“… A few days later, Billy revisit the flea, seeing it still jumping the same way without hitting the bottle cap. Not feeling fun, Billy decided to free the flea and open up the bottle cap. However, the jumping flea still staying inside bottle jumping the same height even though the bottle cap is release…” – End of story.

Then, I started to think… am I behaving like the flea? I have big dreams, but I achieve a little. Could it be I stop jumping as high as possible when I have stopped by obstruction? Could it be the obstruction is no longer there when time past, but I still decided to stay in my comfort zone?

How is the Subconscious Mind works?

While I driving home listening to a tape by Tony Robbins, “References – The Fabric of Life”. There is one section; he asked his audience “How many of you believe that you are just using 5% of your brain?”… And I speaking to myself I said, “ Yes, I believe that…” and then Tony continued with funny tone pretending he is one of the crowd “… Yes, I believe that I’m just using 5% of my brain…” then he explained “Most people brag about that, if I were you, I’ll keep quiet and start to figure out how I can use the remaining 95% of my brain.”

I’ve been to one seminar in town, and there is one section trying to explain how the subconscious mind actually works. To my surprise, the professor told us that our subconscious cannot differentiate what is real, and what is not; it just takes order from our conscious mind.

Then he showed us a very simple example, he said “close your eyes…, imagine there is a refrigerator in front of you…, you open the door…, you feel the cool air flow through your body…, you see a big yellow lemon in front of you…, you pick up the lemon and squeeze it real hard using both of your hands…, the lemon juice spit out and some of them drop onto your lips.., you use your tongue and taste the fresh and sour juice…” Then he asked, “how many of you can really tasted the lemon?” “How many of you swallow a mouth of saliva?” “Is it real…?”

My life in “The Matrix”?

Today, I planned to have a Philosophical Ponder session about my own life. It’s sound really deep and complicated. What exactly is “Philosophical Ponder”? Could it be just about finding the purpose of my life? Or looking for the meaning of life?

Then I can’t help thinking about the movie “The Matrix”, and the philosophy thought hidden behind. It says every “Program” has its purpose in Matrix, otherwise it will be deleted or gone exile.

Many times, I have a feeling that we are in this “Matrix” that I’ll called it “Capitalism Matrix”. I’m being program to go to school, get good grades, and look for a good job. That’s what most parents told their children. And, what is the purpose of going to school, getting good grades, and looking for a good job? Is it climbing higher and higher pay, and living a higher and higher living standard, and then caught in the rat race mentioned by Rich Dad. And then, slowly become slave of “Money” and lost our freedom.

Perhaps, it’s time to “free my mind”. But how can I “free my mind”? Where’s my Morpheus? Where’s my Trinity? And where’s my Oracle…? Should I use my mind power and create one for myself? Am I the “ONE”?

How to Print “Money” Legally?

It’s another Monday morning; I have decided to write myself a motivational story or journal to boost up myself. My thought started to run wild looking for motivational story that I have read and hidden in my memories or subconscious.

One story pop out, it’s about a story from Rich dad Poor dad, the story is about when Robert was still a child, and he suddenly has a thought creating coins from tooth paste container after inspired by his rich dad. Then, I remember few days back, I read a news from newspaper that, there are 3 teenagers printing the currency notes $1, $5, $10, and $50 denomination. And of course this is illegal and they are caught by the officials.

However, Rich dad did mention there is a way to print “money” legally in the world of Share Market, when one established a company and start selling the company shares to the public to collect wealth. Bill gate is one of the brilliant who did that and become the wealthiest people in the world.

So, how can I learn from him? How can I learn how to establish a company and sell the company shares to the public? Perhaps, I can start by reading the books written about him, and learn from him.

I still remember I come across one saying that “ If you want to be Bill Gate, learn to think the way he think, learn to act the way he act, or in short, duplicate his thought and behavior.” Perhaps, it’s time to learn more and discover the power of my Brain.
