Time wasted

真相客觀程式 2

.

The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.

思考過多

.

思考過多,產生很多問題,所以要想很多方法去解決那些的問題。

其他人習慣不思考,那就不會有那麼多的問題,所以毋須想很多方法去對付那些問題。

Nerd 3

.

As a thirteen-year-old kid, I didn’t have much more experience of the world than what I saw immediately around me. The warped little world we lived in was, I thought, the world. The world seemed cruel and boring, and I’m not sure which was worse.

Because I didn’t fit into this world, I thought that something must be wrong with me. I didn’t realize that the reason we nerds didn’t fit in was that in some ways we were a step ahead. We were already thinking about the kind of things that matter in the real world, instead of spending all our time playing an exacting but mostly pointless game like the others.

Batman Begins

.

Blogger Mark Fisher states that Bruce’s search for justice requires him to learn from a proper father figure, with Thomas Wayne and Ra’s al Ghul being the two counterpoints. Alfred provides a maternal figure of unconditional love, despite the overall lack of focus on a mother figure in Bruce’s life.

Impact

Shawn Adler of MTV stated after Batman Begins, a trend of darker genre films, that either retold back-stories or rebooted them altogether, began.
Examples he cited were Casino Royale, as well as the in-development RoboCop, Red Sonja, and He-Man. Filmmakers, screenwriters and producers who have mentioned the film to describe their projects include: Jon Favreau and Iron Man, Edward Norton and The Incredible Hulk, McG and Terminator Salvation (which also stars Bale), Damon Lindelof and Star Trek, Robert Downey, Jr. and Sherlock Holmes, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and even Hugh Jackman and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Sequel

On March 10, 2010, Nolan confirmed his involvement with a sequel and gave some information regarding the story. The next Batman film will be Nolan’s last and a conclusion to the story. Nolan says, “Without getting into specifics, the key thing that makes the third film a great possibility for us is that we want to finish our story. And in viewing it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story . . . I’m very excited about the end of the film, the conclusion, and what we’ve done with the characters. My brother has come up with some pretty exciting stuff. Unlike the comics, these things don’t go on forever in film and viewing it as a story with an end is useful. Viewing it as an ending, that sets you very much on the right track about the appropriate conclusion and the essence of what tale we’re telling. And it hearkens back to that priority of trying to find the reality in these fantastic stories. That’s what we do.” Nolan has also confirmed that Jonathan Nolan is writing the script and that the villain of the film “won’t be Mr. Freeze.”

Fear of failure

.

Fear of failure is an extraordinarily powerful force. Usually it prevents people from starting things, but once you publish some definite ambition, it switches directions and starts working in your favor.

Dramatize

.

Do you dramatize a commitment to a task rather than actually doing it? An example is taking your books on vacation but never opening them, or perhaps even declining invitations for pleasurable events, but still not pursuing the work at hand nor getting needed relaxation. This way you stay in a constant state of unproductive readiness to work–without ever working.

愚蠢的人以為自己的主觀世界, 就是客觀世界. 所以, 他們不知道自己的愚蠢.

聰明的人知道自己的主觀世界, 只是客觀世界的一小部分. 所以, 他們可以真切感受到自己的愚蠢.
