The Bucket List

In the movie, it was said that old time Egyptians believe that at the entrance to heaven, they will be asked 2 questions. These 2 questions will determine whether they are allowed to heaven.

"Do you find joy in your life?"
"Do you bring joy to anyone in your life?"

What will be your answer?

Living your life with what you want, getting what you want. We're flowing with the stream, adapting to changes, changing ourselves according to what most people need, and what the society is responding to. The peer pressure, the fear of being left behind. Is this what we care about? Or we have no choice, and that's what we should care about? Are we just the fishes, following the stream?

I think most people won't choose to know when they will die if given the chance. Do you? Maybe I will try to write myself a bucket list, (influenced by this movie) and see what I will get in the list and how long will it be :)

Quite a useful trick

Read about this. Not sure how true is it, as never tried :P We can use our body to boost signal. For example, we can use our hand on radio to boost or clarify the signal. Another thing which will help us is, when trying to locate our car at the carpark. Normally, we would tend to stretch your arm and press the alarm. To amplify your alarm signal, you can use body-as-extended-antenna trick by putting it under your chin and press the button. It is said to be able to boost the alarm signal and locate your car. Try it out. ;)
