Building Castles in the Air....

Am sure you have heard this one before! "Son, stop day dreaming! You can't be doing this! It's impossible...." All these negativity over the years.. from a child to a teenager... youth to adult.. we were told that we should stop day dreaming... don't think about big goals... THINK BOUT YOUR STRAIGHT A's in your exams before anything... bla bla bla bla bla!

Yup.. As a child, my mum too, always use proverbs and constant nagging on me... (She's a retired English teacher.. what do you expect?!!!) Even at school, when I had some big ideas on something, my friends or teachers would have told me that... "Stop day dreaming dude! It won't work!!!!"

See.. the Wright brothers in the early stages of building a plane... were laughed at, cursed, bla bla.... to the max! Now, we fly from KL to LA in less than 18 hours~!!!!

Have you seen the size of the first computer and phone? What about the mobile phones? The huge ones where we call them "water tumblers...", or the "tai kor tai" mobile phones? For those who have used the Tai Kor Tai mobile phones before, have you ever thought that the mobile phone 5 years from then... would be smaller than the size of the palm that can do video conferencing and surf the internet???! When the first computer was created, do you think that anyone would have thought that... the computer in the next 20 years, would be a million times faster and can be stored into a small bag?

Mostly ~ the answer is no... don't you think so? How about the next set of questions?

i) Cars will no longer need petrol and solar cells would be good enough to power up the engine? Wheels? OMG, that is just so... 21st century mannnn! Cars will hover on magnetic surfaces where there is a device that controls the flow and it just simply hovers on the road?

ii) Teleportation? - this is big. hahaha... Ever watched the Fly? Star Trek where the equipment demolecularize an item and remolecularize at another point?

iii) Speed - you reckon Warp speed is possible? (waaayyyy faster than the speed of light if you are an arden Trekkie fan!!!)

iv) Mobile phones? ~ Gee, who needs them?!!!! You tap your watch and the person you are talking to, there's this hologram image that transmit data, video & audio.. you simply "tap" in the air.... It's like when you tap on the watch.. it goes

"Hello Mr Thoo, welcome to DiGi, caller ID pls"

"Dial Lion Clayton Tan"

"Dialing Lion Clayton Tan, House, office or Mobile"

"Mobile"

"Connecting you"

v) Again.. my last question ~ Building castles in the air?

What about the thought of everyone no longer live in house but spacecrafts overlooking Mars? I would call that a Castle in the air!!!! or.. simply.. the entire Condominium floats in the air.. yup!!!!

WE JUST HAVEN'T DISCOVERED THE TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT THE CASTLE IN THE AIR YET!!!!

Therefore... folks, remember!!!! There's no such thing as building castles in the air... no such thing as.."Hahahah.. you have got to be kidding me! that's impossible!!!".... "That's rubbish".... "Stop day dreaming"

Eventually, whatever goes around comes around. Most importantly you need to ensure that YOU... know what you are doing!

YOU dare to dream...!

YOU dare to accept the challenge!

YOU dare to go beyond boundaries!

YOU dare to climb a thousand mountains, run a million miles, swim a zillion oceans....

to achieve your goals and dreams.. Let no one or nothing stop you! If you fail, pat yourself at the back, pick youself up, and continue your journey!

As for me... I'm now at a juncture of thinking.....

Should I build an Alpha Castle in an open land

.. brand new...

New lands give new problems... everything else is new.. fresh,...people who work at the castle will also be new and they have to be trained etc etc etc

OR...

Should I just buy an existing Omega Castle...!

old castle.... has their old problems. By waiting to buy the castle alone, took me ages.. pursuation... hints... encouragements... loads of work had to do...begging....

But.. after the purchase... there might be problems too... the workers may not listen to the new boss... the senior workers are just too conservative in change....

Sighhhhhh!

Hence... should I buy an old Castle, or Build a new one?!!!! Alpha or Omega....

Thinking... thinking.....!
