The unexamined life is not worth living
We often live life without discovering our own selves.
Who we are, where we come from, where we are going?
We have narrow focus/worldview based on upbringing, society's influence through education and media.
Think of our interest in looking into mirrors. Living out our lives thru our roles as students and then earning money in a job caught in a rat race , seeking companionship via our cell phones and seeking affirmation by posting our life stories on social media. Judging our lives via our wealth and status, living meaningful lives through the success of our children. There is more to life and the universe. We ought to look deeper and seek further!
See a World in a Grain of Sand
Based on a poem by William Blake.
If we could see the world through the eyes of a child again, in splendid and marvelous awe.
To see the through many lenses, To live out as many paths in life in the shoes of others.
Learn to appreciate the beauty and marvelous nature of the world, and not let oppression, especially in the form of a predetermined order and narrow view destroy it and recognise the limitless possibilities.

What do we want to spend the rest of our lives doing?
To lead a good life based on my beliefs and Self-Actualise. I believe my reason for living is to Teach and Share wisdom, hence I started a project and social business and enterprise called Teach a Man to Fish

In the Beginning....
Back in 2009 I decided to quit my job and leave the comfortable life I had to embark on a journey of self-discovery.
This site originally served as a repository for all that came into my mind/life, and consists of what I experienced (do, read, think about) since then.
An ambitious life-long project to put it all down in one place. The details of my mind is extremely messy and I tend to forget easily: the problems with an undisciplined and unstructured mind.
In the hope that it can at least be sorted out, in a manner of sorts from doing this repository.
This will serve for posterity, reminder, growth and self-development.
Self-Actualise, Flourishing, Renaissance man, Posterity, Dare to be Wise, Live the Good life, Existentialism, skill practice, Find meaning, Introspection

Accessibility and Navigation
The choice of using a digital medium as it can be edited and accessed as long as there's internet, shared with others, neater, can be analysed, formated and presented in limitless number of ways.
And it is put into a website because.... I guess I have full control on the authoring of it and it can serve as an semantic interface, or adaptive hypermedia once I can find time to develop it.
