5.2.12

Two Thousand and Twelve

there are so many things I wanna change. 

I got a new wish list on my new agenda of 2012.. which is written there at first so I don't forget to share it here.. but well. changed my mind right before making this post. prefer to keep it privately. it's like making a deal with yourself. an agreement, a contract to be fulfilled. Remember words by Cicero, a Roman philosopher, which has been modified over the ages?

"You are your own worst enemy."

changing your own habit, your perspective, your taste, your attitude, your nature, is like an endless war against yourself. easier said than done. 36 days after new year eve, nothing much has changed. for some people, in this case it refers to me, one of physics law works here, moment of inertia. the tendency to stay the same is just hard to ignore. and that's the enemy. every year, new year moment has been a turning point for most people. resolutions are made, hope grows, the fight for life is renewed. in fact, it's a new battlefield. a new war against your worst enemy. funny thing that if you win, both of you and your enemy win. and vice versa. 
so, hello, another year.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself,you will succumb in every battle”
- Sun Tzu, The Art of War
