“When imagination is youthful, it propels creativity. Youthfulness in imagination has little to do with age.”
Jonathan Chen
“For one who relies on prejudices to vitalize his existence, freedom is but an illusion, because he is enslaved by his own jaundiced mind. He is easily an aspirant for antagonistic campaigns, where he seeks redemption for his steadfast abhorrence. For him, settling in favor for peace is hardly an option – he fears that would actuate losing his vigor and identification.”
“Names and labels are what we use to identify, not to divide.”
“Prejudice cannot be a sudden emergence. It is a results of a series conscious conditioning, tethered with infused linkages. It takes a conscious exertion of a higher intensity to break the chain.”
“A mind is capable of harboring and ingesting a vast variety of ideas and information. It would be the greatest crime against itself when it only permits its faculties the access to a monotonous inference, whereas it extinguishes its potence of immeasurable creativity. ”
“There is no lack of access to knowledge today. Education then must be focusing on strengthening the will to seek the truth, which comprises to a large degree of opening the minds to alternative views and instigating earnest processes in forming independent assessments.”
“The drive to excellence Jobs had was a continuation of the great institution many had shared before him that had built the long-lasting American pride, which is what is missing in many of his peers, to them, greed is the only impellent.”
“Law of nature is not a confinement to freedom. It safeguards the subsistence.”
“There would be hope that progress can be made, when the assemblage of character, ethics, integrity, and ability to solve issues recovers to be the focal point in contesting and evaluating office-seekers and officeholders. Unfortunately, this is not their primary engrossment. They have to frame every one with a pre-defined political classification so that the public could conveniently settle in with either a love or a hate sentiment.”
“An ideology may be a base to form a opinion. But it should never be a base to shield unjust.”
