The thinker

When it comes to studying, be it with Youtube videos tutorials or actual books, I can say it is using majority of my free time. Based on my 20+ years of observation of everyday things, there is no bottom for any subject being studied. For obvious reason, us human are basically using limited amount of our time to explore this infinite amount of universe, no matter what direction we take, there is no end. But we are very naive, to the extent that even if we knew the result at the end isn't really "the" result, we still keep going. To me, that is the most powerful and wonderful thing to any human being. We just have to keep going forward, keep exploring, getting as close to the goal as we can. Beautiful.

When people stopped learning, people died. They simply stopped functioning as a organism. They become robots. Robots don't learn by themselves; they don't choose what they want to learn. But they still do, with the help of an organism - human, one who is still consciously learning. The bots received what ever knowledge or instructions the human presented to them. They become what the others wanted them to become. Big surprise, most of the people I know are bots, some of them are cyborg(half bot, half human, they can go either way depending on their will), only a handful of them are still human.

Myself? I don't really want to be all arrogant and all, but I like to think I'm a human because I think, and also because I think why I think.

Rarest creature - God of Gambler

"I'm in a bad mood today, let's go and have some fun."
"By fun, do you mean let's go to casino?"
"Yeah."

And that conversation helped the casino by deducting $200 from my bank account. But the money weren't as well spent as my first casino donation. It was withing my expectation, that I would never get to have the same thrill I felt during my firs trip to the entertainment center. It's probably the 5th, or 6th times I entered the door of the casino, and I had been having less and less reason to do it. Eventually, they will be reduced to only 1, and it will be the worst 1--to make money. I wouldn't say that never happened to any one during the history of any casino, but their number you can probably count with both of your hands. 

"Carry a large sum of money, get into the casino, win a round, get out of there. "

This sentence will most likely be 1 of the more ridicule 1 among all the life jokes. (And most of the life jokes are pretty tough to beat.) I can't be too sure of myself when speaking of ever to enter the casino again, because I can get quite yes-man-ish when I'm among friends, I just hope that the next time when I'm going there, I'm doing it with a lot of reasons. I also need to learn to be sad when I lose money, or win money, whatever.
