Twists and Turns
Twists and Turns Humans spend all their lives trying to put their life together like the pieces of a puzzle, but what if life is not a puzzle? What if life was a Rubik’s cube and there was a pattern to solve the chaos painted world we live in. Much like a Rubik’s cube, humans try to solve every situation but sometimes they take a turn and the colors just don’t match up. Everyday of their lives they seem to create a problem and are blindsided by the result. As when one is trying to solve a Rubik’s cube, one seems to think all is fine and good until another problem is created. Life’s problems can be solved just like a Rubik’s cube. Life is not as complicated as it is portrayed to be, but it is not that simple either. Everyone in the world perceives decisions differently; one can turn a situation towards one direction however the outcome may not be what is expected. It is by getting this unexpected outcome in which people learn to readjust and deal with change. Humans make turns on a Rubik’s cube thinking it will be a right result and end up being incorrect. Life can take unexpected turns, some that makes people happy others that tend to do the opposite. For example, a straight “A” student that winds up pregnant in high school, or the broke couple that gets financed for a house. You just have to learn to take in the mistakes because you are learning from them. With both life and a Rubik’s cube, each maneuver cannot be guaranteed as a step to success. You just have to play with what you have until you succeed or feel happy. Maybe a turn in a Rubik’s cube brings out a better pattern; maybe a different decision in life is an outcome of a better solution. When someone has a Rubik’s cube in their hand, they want to make it perfect as fast as they possibly can. In reality it takes time and effort to figure it out just as this applies to something or someone. People just need to have the patience; otherwise no good will come out of this. With this

    From the moment I was born, then adopted in Ghanzhou, China as a six month-old infant with unknown parents, to where I walked down the aisle on the football field to get my high school diploma in the state of New Jersey, I have always had the fascination to balance life as if it were a chemical equation. Like the universal solvent, water, it is certain that an abundance of college applicants will dissolve like the solute, sugar. This leaves a cloudy mixture, much similar to searching for one’s own individual purpose in life. The water turns clear after a few vigorous stirs and it’s as if life went back to square one and everything were in its place. However, if life was that simplified, the whole human race would know their exact destiny and…

    We can explore all we want, and research for eons, but there will still be things that we may never know, and can never prove nor disprove. Many of those things reside within us without answers, including human nature itself. Are we able to change? Empirical data doesn’t exist to explain this, but people have often used literature to put forth microcosms of theories to attempt to see what different answers would mean for us. Works of fiction such as No Exit and The Mysterious Stranger claim that life has no meaning because humans have no hope to change, but The Kite Runner presents the idea that people possess the ability to change, and more importantly, for the better.…

    “Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.” (TENSION OF OPPOSITES)…

We every day drive the same ways to our work while we are loosing the beauty of trees or sunshine or mountain. Sometimes even our emotional roles in our life makes us forget the main reason of those roles. Like those mothers who just think how to raise their children while they don’t joy their children's smell or beauty of their smiles.…

There are always potholes, bumps along the way; obstacles we must overcome or avoid in order to keep moving forward. If we don’t respond to these obstacles, we may crash, leading us to a halt, setback or even an end to our journey.…

    Apartment and Small Stuff

    When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. the professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full, the students responded with a unanimous "YES". The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. Now, said the professor as the laughter subsided, I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things.... God, your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favourite passions.... and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter... your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else... the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, he continued, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Take care of the golf balls first.... the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest…
