Spoon? Sword? Mind? Knight? Destiny? Nature?

(Quotes taken from IMDB.)

Matrix:
- Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
- What truth?
- There is no spoon.
- There is no spoon?
- Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

Ying xiong:
I have just come to a realization! This scroll by Broken Sword contains no secrets of his swordsmanship. What this reveals is his highest ideal. In the first state, man and sword become one and each other. Here, even a blade of grass can be used as a lethal weapon. In the next stage, the sword resides not in the hand but in the heart. Even without a weapon, the warrior can slay his enemy from a hundred paces. But the ultimate ideal is when the sword disappears altogether. The warrior embraces all around him. The desire to kill no longer exists. Only peace remains.

The Last Samurai:
- Please forgive; too many mind.
- Too many mind?
- Hai, mind the sword, mind the people watch, mind enemy - too many mind... No mind.
- No mind...

Kingdom of Heaven:
 - Who do you think you are? Will you alter the world? Does making a man a knight make him a better fighter?
 - Yes

The Last Samurai:
 - You believe a man can change his destiny?
 - I think a man does what he can, until his destiny is revealed.

Hunter X Hunter (2011):
 - Gon, you're flawless, a perfect gem. But that pure nature could be your undoing.

Advantages of PHP

I hate when people criticize anything PHP has in difference with other languages like C# or Java, first critics being Dynamic Typing and its Procedural part. Each programmer respects Old C and Shell Scripting. What I think is that PHP addresses problems they still have, and those PHP solutions still attracts people.

I will name what I (probably only I) think makes PHP appealing:

• It's specifically designed for solving web problems.
  
• It's free and easy to find a hosting with it.
• You don't need to compile code and it runs very fast.
• I don't need to cast a string if I want to use it as bool, int, float, or long.
• String, StringBuffer, StringBuilder, ... , WTF ?!
  
• PHP itself does not consume a lot of resources from servers.
• PHP.net is the best help I have seen for a language.
  
• Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, PHPBB, ... , OpenX, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, etc.
• Yahoo! uses it a lot (well, after 2009-11-10, maybe not).
• I admit it: PHP is a grandchild of C/C++ and Perl. He looks like them. You could learn something...
  

Another uncommon things of PHP:

• Its structure and lexic is a mix of C++, Perl and Java (PHP5).
• It THE best template to use with C/C++ on the web.
  
• PHP is providing OOP for things that are really necessary, Not for everything.
• If you organize your includes, you can take advantage of autocompletion.
• The famous Template Pattern is procedural in essence, and so PHP.
• It can access libraries like COM, .NET and ODBC connections, ...

Any other more profound things, please talk to Rasmus Lerdorf. He can surely make you speechless, or even. Also, I'd like to see objections about 1100 request per second Mr. Lerdorf showed in Getting Rich With PHP 5

I only feel good when I swing this sword

In Berserk manga, when Guts expressed this, I was shocked!

Wow, he should be an idiot because of being happy when swinging a sword... a simple and silly task for a simple and silly idiot, right?

I have found four qualities which can make a big difference in that simple and silly task:

Speed: how fast can he move and swing a swordt?
Stamina: how much time can he keep swinging it?
Strength: how hard are things he can cut with one swing?
Specialties: how many types of swings does he have?

People can do any kind of task. Difference is efforts that each person put in that task.

1. If that silly task is what can help to make your dreams come true, it can't be taken lightly.
2. If that simple task is what can help you live in this complicated word, you should improve it.

Keep checking and looking to yourself. Inside yourself, you will find many helpful things you could improve.

Why do we love hobbies more than work?

In what things work is different to a hobby?

All idiots over there will insist in "Money, of course." Maybe that is the general answer. Maybe I need to be more specific in order to get a different answer...

For some reason, things you thought were interesting and funny, when you do them as a job, they stop being so, and that quality i want to check out.

Now, Love is not like it was at the beginning. It should be more intense, but it is getting weaker.

It seems I have lost a pearl in the ocean. I need that pearl to feel good, at least.

Feelings are treacherous

Feelings are treacherous because, if you can do something, they make you do what you want, instead of what you must do.

If there is something that you must do, is it always something what you want to? Of course not. But what about a break up? What do you want? What must you do? Someday we have this kind of conflict. It is like we want to get the best of both situations, but things and people are different.

There always will be things you want to do, but you must not, or things you must do, but you don't want to.

At the end, you need to keep them both as they are until they fall down, or until you make your choice.

Ironies

Treating serious things talking funny, but measured.

It is not the same to call the devil, than to see him coming.

It is thought and calculated. There won't be a step back.

Ponssy and Kame once said: even though it is not, it looks like it is, and you should avoid it.

I can change! No, you won't
Take me far away! Money and time is needed

The fear of forgiving is the fear of the history being repeated. (Job!)

The fear of coming back to a broken relationship, is the fear of pay back.

She occupies and demand me more time, but that could be fixed, and then she would say that I don't give her enough time and money.

I don't want kids right now.
You should get a better job.
I want a car.
I want to live in DN, or near to it.

Enemisity and Lies

Crossroads: to lie to do what is right?

If someone asks you why you did it, answer that it was personal. Then, they could tell you what they are thinking in that moment.

If you don't want to say "No", then don't do it. Instead, just keep repeating the same indirect comments about that "No".

Sometimes, people delates themselves by bringing negative thoughts!!! (Job!)

Are you leaving me for another woman?
Do you think I was with you for using you?
Yes: then I could continue doing it
No: then, stop thinking about it
And you? No

A sign to make her calm.
Her static way (inertia), and my pressions.

How destiny is tied to minds

"Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words.
Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions.
Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits.
Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character.
Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny"
- Chinese proverb

There are many things you can't control, but you are the one who needs to make choices about how your life will be, forever. A big part of guilts you complain about, belongs to you.

Hippocrates

Copied from Learn Programming in Ten Years:

Hippocrates (c. 400BC) "Ars longa, vita brevis, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile", which in English renders as "Life is short, [the] craft long, opportunity fleeting, experiment treacherous, judgment difficult."

To achieve a mastery in whatever you wish, you will need a lot of time and work to do to be one of the best in your area. Sadly, there are no shortcuts in the path of mastery.

Inconstancy

I choose or write myself quotes to inspire me to go ahead, or remind me some mistakes.

If it's an aggressive quote, I feel shame for my animal instincts.
If it's philosophical, I feel shame for not being persistent with it's message.

If somebody refutes my points of view, I feel I should answer, but I don't know what to say, and why I don't know what to say. Maybe it's because my possible answer is an introspective or philosophical one: it's good, but it can't be proven with results.

I am always afraid of pleasures which are more intense than the desire to learn.

To set oneself one way, and focus on a goal, and then to see the same obstacle diverts you again.

You always try and try, and fall in the same trap.

Talk #3: Recursive Tree

- Stick to what works!!
- But that alternative takes too much resources!!
- For that kind of thoughts is why you don't have anything.
- What about that big amount of recurrent steps?
- Those steps are not too big and not too much?
- So, it means I have lost my time...
- Yes
