Music can be considered to be one of the greatest invention my man. When u feeling down and listening to let's say, "My immortal", it's as though the song personify itself and keeps u company. Similarly, when you just get in love and listen to "恋爱-ing", it seems like the song is felicitating you. I may not be able to sing well, but i am glad that i can appreciate songs with my pair of ears. When going out, books and MP3 is like one of the basic requirement for me. In a sense it feels like i have 2 companions with me even if i am alone.
Anyway, yesterday i went to get some books for leisure reading. Then after some careful selection, i found this quite entertaining and "one of a kind" book. It is called "The freedom manifesto" by ToM Hodgkinson. Below are some interesting sentences extracted from his book.
1. 'people are dying of boredom,' and i believe this quite literally to be true. It would not surprise me one jot if boredom were one day revealed to be carcinogenic.
2. And veyr depressing it is that woman, too, have fallen for the career myth. 'My career is really important to me,' say the solipsistic new career ladies. How on earth bossing around a little coterie of idiots at Asda can be more important than playing with your kids, hanging out with your friends and family or doing creative things at home is completely beyond me.
3. You start out doing work experience, you graduate to being bossed around by idiots, you become idiotic and, then, if all works out well, you end up being the idiot who bosses people around.
Some interesting extractions to me. This book offers an entirely different perspective with respect to the social norms. So if you are having some free time, get this book and let it intrigues you!
