Today I learn again the truth that if we don’t have anything good to say, it’s better to be quite, silence is golden. It is not that there is no need for talking, but we need to learn to talk at the right time. And before talking, we need to listen and observe.
Yesterday I read a newspaper article that if big inventions happen by accident or mistake, how can we train to more serendipitous. Serendipity, apparently is not passive, it is active where one tries to observe and discern the various things that happen in order to find some insights from those seemingly unrelated events.
Just like today where the bathroom door is opened, most probably due to sucking wind, and not blowing wind. Or like my wife who always observe the landmark whenever we travel that she can remember the way back home or the way to re-visit some places. Or like, how I look at the right arrow in the traffic light today, that it is only switched on when the green light is turned off and it stayed around 9 second, something that is long enough to clear the light-medium traffic of those vehicles waiting to turn right. Or that my assumption that the economy super saver option for flight only appears long time before flight and then forever gone may not be necessarily true.
Also, how God that we praise today as we celebrate the risen of Jesus is not just God who gives us gift or opens our way. But He is also an artist who creates so many different animals with unique horns or stripes, or faces.
In short, life is full of God’s amazing works that we can observe. He also creates people whom we need to listen to.
