It Depends what you mean by ...
To put it in Dickensian terms, Life is filled with both pleasures and pains. Once I was a child in the face of something I am incapable of getting to grips with, I was told that you would understand in the future. To some degree, this had hit me hard since I rarely dared to take the plunge. Someone might well have thought that this good boy is being a pushover if not a lame duck. In a pragmatic sense, as a famous philosopher's catchphrase goes, it depends what you mean by the P-words.
While the excitement of being grown up sneaked out, it seems not all that fortunate to take full responsibility for yourself, not least you stumbled across the fact that you are not the self-alleged biggie. To refrain from omnifarious temptations, to make do with sophisticated relationships and some idiosyncratic problems entail substantially unprecedented change of attitude towards life. Ostensibly, it sounds like reasonable to meet the so-called social requiremeets. Otherwise, isn't it an altisonant pretext if not doublespeak in the name of fine-tuning?
A historian once told ' The significance of man is that he is insignificant and is aware of it '. Unfortunately, there are so many people who crow about their achievements and contend for fame and fortune by hook or crook. Ironically, it is vague that whether we ourselves are in favour of it.
There is a thought-provoking anecdote. Once Bernard Mannes Baruch were asked how he handled the seating order for all those who showed up on his dinner parties, he responded: Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter. I reckon that this thoughtful response is consistent with Chinese traditional philosophy , that is, don't focus on the skin-deep.
In consideration of the fact that my brain brims with ideas and ideals recently, hopefully, you would not so confused as it might have been otherwise. When I was a boy I was told that anybody can be president, and now I am more than 25 which is one of favorite singers' constant age. Should I still to believe it? Let's get to the point:It depends what you mean by B-E-L-I-E-V-E.
Excuse me while I slip into something more comfortable.
