"The Art of Happiness."
I bought this book by Bertrand Russell a couple of years back but did not get past the first 2 pages. The language is too deep and the ideas, too philosophical. Maybe there's no such thing as "too philosophical". Maybe I was not mature enough to grasp the deeper meanings of it. I wonder if I will read it again. Sometimes, I do ask myself if I know how to make myself happy. Am I doing enough for my spiritual well-being? Am I taking care of my mental growth? It seems I have to conciously think of all these issues because if I don't, I will probably be where I am now for the next 20 years. Now that's a scary thought.
Then again, I must DO something. There's no point sitting here thinking about what I should do and I what I can do. I have to MOVE. I'm so tired everyday (physically). I wonder how he, and some of my friends, can actually attend night classes without falling asleep, not to mention, learn and absorb?
A driving license. I will start with that. Expensive as it may be, but it's money that's going to be spent one day anyway, so why not now? The thing is, I have to pay by credit and that turns me off a great deal. I am sick and tired of credit card bills. A souple of nights ago, I dreamt that I was driving. I had so much fun in that dream that when I woke up, I wanted to go back to sleep to continue that dream. All my friends have got their licenses. Jen, Min and Qing can drive. Biqing, Weiqing and Donna can drive. The guys from my class can drive too. I think I will start by getting that basic theory test date. Soon.
