transcendence and facticity

 have a close relation with each other.

they give each other meaning and purpose..


just like yin and yang,

opposites giving definitions to the other.


for if there was no evil, how would we know what good is?

A photo frame that shows inspirational quotes daily

 I would like to invent that.

Make a small digital board that I could place on my desk.

That shows inspirational quotes for the day.


It could run on a respberry Pi or something,

with a small screen attached.

Freedom

 Freedom is not freedom from responsibility, it is freedom to make choices,

and therefore having to take responsibility.

a paradox of work

'doing more gives you more energy to doing more'

authenticity is the way to learn better

 "What we need to know gets lost in what we are told we should know"

Real learning is the process of remembering what is important to you,

and becoming a leader is therefore the act of becoming more and more your true self.


- Tom Butler-Bowden on Warren Bennis' On Becoming a Leader 1989


man.. Tom has read and summarised soooo many books

begger of time

Remuera
Sat on a bench. 
Begger came to sit beside. 
I sat a while with him.

Ask hows the day, 
Hows the place. 

Whats his story?
He said he didn't want to talk about it. 
No one listens. Theres no time.

Time is a funny thing eh. 

A begger not having enough time.
Hmm

work is creation

 we are made to make things.

bring order to chaos.

entropy happens naturally. all things move towards this state.

hence, energy has to be inputted to mitigate it.


everything we do, is part of creation.

like writing this blog post.

the fingers typing on the keyboard to make legible information from my illegible thoughts in the mind.

the ink in a pen forming out a pattern recognized as words by another reader..


ink in a pen, is potential.

the casing held in the hand,

the nib on a sheet of paper,

the ink flows out..


it makes... something

something is created




i fix machines.

that is my work.

i bring order to chaos.

fix the broken

so that it works again


God, Jesus... fix me
