I think I'm getting myself a new phone for my birthday. Got myself a O2 phone last year. And the phone is so bad that I had to sell it off for a palm treo. Treo is not perfect either.

Initially targeting at Samsung Omnia, then Sony Ericsson G900. But read from forum that G900 is not very good. And the camera is very bad. I need camera function as all my digital cam are spoilt... Eventually, saw Nokia 6220. It has 5 Megapix cam and GPS. All that I need. But one drawback is that the screen is small.

1) Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forward.

2) Some people see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not. What your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

3) The thought manifests as the word; the word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit; and habit hardens into character. So watch the thoughts and its ways with care, and let it spring from love. Born out of concern for all beings.. The shadow follows the body and never leaves it. In the same way, as we think, so we become.

Are we really too constraint by our own mindset? Is it the environment that constraint us?

I tried this experiment with a lot of students these days. Given one-eighth the size of a foolscape paper, can you cut a hole in it such that your whole body can pass through? Nobody has done it, not even the teachers. However, yesterday I was surprised when one student done it. She was not from those good classes, instead, she's from Normal Technical. A 13 year old China girl.

Why is it that she can do it but not the rest of us? We label ourselves as more "superior" to others, but are we really more "superior"? We seem to limit ourselves to ourselves, by ourselves. Or is it the environment that we lived in, a form of protective mechanism. We tend to give up easily, finding excuses for ourselves.
