Words without action are meaningless; action coupled by words can make a world of a difference to someone special.
Words alone give expectations.
Will you be able to live up to the expectation that you set, especially when it is by the own words you say?

"Alex, people change."
It was those exact words from a friend which started me thinking more about it. Yes, I agree, people do change. But one would think, are you able to choose the way you change, the way you turn out to be?
People usually change because of the things that happen around them, both good and bad things. Perhaps its now all to the question of your character, how would you react to such things, and in turn, that is how you would change.
Change is inevitable. Given the choice, everyone would want to change for the better. But how are you going to see the change, until someone else points it out to you?
At that point, is it already too late? Because that is your first instinct. This is the real you.

a thinker's thoughts.
I heard this quote from somewhere and despite my new found prowess in Google-ing (thanks wspc), I still cant find the full quote and its source. But it goes something like
"Beware the man who thinks too much, for he is the most dangerous."
They said that Julius Caesar was one such man, and 曹操 was another one.
I have had this discussion with a friend of mine, who also thinks too much. It is a double-edged sword, with the obvious advantage in you being able to analyse stuff more comprehensively, gaining enlightenment and understanding, and the matter comes to a close quickly.
However, one horrendous train journey last night shows one of the cons to thinking too much. You would know the more you think about it, the worse it would become, but instinctively you can stop yourself from just continuing to think more and more.
Its a major pain in the butt especially when you are alone, and there's nothing to distract you from thinking by yourself. It gets you down and totally demoralised. Until it comes to the obvious conclusion that there is nothing you can do about it by just merely thinking. But by then your mood would pretty much be spoilt.
Perhaps we should just NOT ask the questions that you do not want answers to.
But can you help it? That's the challenge.
