Human mindsets from people are all the same but people really want to achieve something to satisfy themselves.
For example,some really want to succeed doing well in one area but others prefer to succeed doing well in another area
It apply the same for every discussion.
Do not dishearted when your concept may not go well with people's agreement because either it may be too far-fetched or too high standard or too low standard.
When the impossible things can be done possible in someone's eye but in most people's eye,they think instantly ,"IMPOSSIBLE! IMPOSSIBLE! IMPOSSIBLE!"
Simply to say that they are trying to avoid the trouble because of the risk of succeed doing impossible things.
Respect don't come by easily unless it was proven by fact and result.
If you think it is possible,let do it.
Low standard or high standard,you are free to do what you really want to succeed.
You get what you want hence your satisfaction is getting better.
You don't feel satisfied when u don't get to do something what u really want but doing the things that you hate the most which you regard as the cheating or dirty job at the cost of winning.
It is extremely tough when you faced with very very ambitious peoples like me because they still want to retain the "high-standard" option to entertain everyone at their expense or risk.
That is what ambitious people are about.
"Good but not good enough" is an direct hint that he can set the world alight but will never eclipse the work of someone.It is no way asking for replacement.Just do more than what someone did in the past.That is what people wanted to see.
"Good is good" is an simple indication that the person is really really content with current situation not asking for more.
For me,i want to entertain everyone till everyone is so happy enough to die for.
For others,they may want to do something else instead.
That is what you live for.
Never be afraid of telling your opinion and at least you made your character and feelings to be known to others.
English is a powerful tool where people read your character and feeling.
Don't try to misuse it and say "not really!not really!" and then ask for something contradicting.
I quote a scene from San Guo Yan Yi(The Romance of Three Kingdoms)
When Zhuge liang decide to go to Wu territory himself to presuade Wu officials and Wu king on the day where his lord,Liu Bei is taking rufuge away from Wei's attack(Cao Cao personally lead the army).
At Wu territory,Wu officials want to give way and work with Cao Cao(in fear of Cao Cao's power and better to give up than destory) but the Wu generals want to fight against Cao Cao(protect their motherland) when Cao Cao send a official letter to Wu.
*As you see there is a conflict between both.Both are in same mindset serving the Lord of Wu but prefer to do something different*
By the time Zhuge liang step on Wu territory,Lu Su(Wu official but he favor with Wu generals) constantly reminded him not to tell Lord of Wu about the power of Cao Cao but to lie so that Lord of Wu will not feel hurt.
Zhuge Liang said that he will see and handle the matter in care.
The first thing Lu Su brought Zhuge Liang to the area where Wu officials gather there.
Zhuge Liang sat and look each face of Wu official.He decided to start his mind game with them by wiping his fan purposely
Many were irritated by his action and decided to fuel the fire by starting to question Zhuge Liang ability.
Each question ask..Zhuge Liang dismissed them flatly with actual facts.
*if you want to dimiss such question,you need facts but not rumour to quell it down*
Wu general come in and scold Wu officials for wasting time in arguing with Zhuge Liang.*in fact,he is right.Wu officials merely want to save their faces and show off their abilities*
Wu general is straight-forward enough to ask Zhuge Liang to see Lord of Wu straight away.
Upon seeing Lord Of Wu,Zhuge Liang did not follow what Lu Su told him to.He want to start another mind game to get Lord of Wu to join hands with Liu Bei to fight Wei!
Zhuge Liang attacked Lord of Wu's confidence by telling him that Cao Cao has over 100,000 troops when asked.
Lord of Wu was so furious and walked away at once.
Lu Su asked Zhuge Liang why he did that.
Zhuge Liang laughed and said that Lord Of Wu did not ask his plan and so he did not say his plan.On top of that,Zhuge Liang said ,"Cao cao troops are not the problem.He could easily slap them like ants."
Lu Su quickly went to Lord Of Wu's room and ask him whether he find Zhuge Liang comment amiss.
Lord of Wu,given enough thought,realise that Zhuge Liang was testing his patience and asked Lu Su to invite him immediately.
Zhuge Liang come in and assured that Wu can survive as long as Wu work together with Liu Bei and Cao Cao can never defeat you as long as the ally exist.
Lord Of Wu is still hesitated and asked for more time to think.
Zhuge Liang knew it.
Zhou Yu,the head military general of Wu returned from a state.
Lu Su brought Zhuge Liang to Zhou Yu.
Zhuge Liang again start another mind game with Zhou Yu so that Zhou Yu will presuade Lord of Wu because Lord of Wu trusted him more than Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Lian purposely say that Cao Cao want to attack Wu because of two beauties of Qiao(elder sister is the wife of Lord of Wu and younger sister is the wife of Zhou Yu).
Of course,Zhuge Liang pretended not to know!When Lu Su told him about the truth,Zhuge Liang apologised him.
It is enough to make Zhou Yu to get Lord Of Wu to fight Wei!
the next day,upon consultation with Zhou Yu,Lord of Wu decided to go war against Wei.
BUT BUT BUT BUT...(the scene after the meeting)...Lu Su and Zhou Yu thought they were ready and asked Zhuge Liang for plan.
Zhuge Liang modestly say that Lord of Wu is still not READY and he is still hesisting.
He suggest them to go and see Lord Of Wu and pacify his worries.
Zhou Yu tells Lord of Wu that 100,000 forces from Cao Cao are not to be feared because some of them are old,others are tired from travelling afar,another are new faces and there are 20,000 forces left to be fit to fight.
Lord Of Wu smiled himself and says ,"YOU REALLY ALLIVIATE MY WORRIES!" and declared once more that he will muster every force he have to attack Wei.
After that Zhou Yu realised how smart Zhuge Liang is and want to plot a plan to kill Zhuge Liang who just in case may be a thread of Wu in future.
Lu Su tried to dispersuade him not to kill Zhuge Liang.
Each time Zhou Yu purposely want to assign a mission to Zhuge Liang so that he need not to soil his hand just for his personal reason.
But Zhuge Liang foresaw his tricks and did a lot of mind games to make Zhou Yu to give up.
Mission 1)Zhou Yu ask Zhuge Liang to capture the food storage at Cao Cao battlefield in pretext to reduce Cao Cao's soliders morale low
Zhuge Liang agree and Lu Su was surprise because he know that the mission is extremely impossible.
After Zhou Yu ask Lu Su to find out what Zhuge Liang is doing,Lu Su quickly run to Zhuge Liang's room and asked him how he can do it.
Zhuge Liang laugh heartily and say that he is adapt in all kind of warfare unlike Zhou Yu who is adapt in only naval warfare.
Lu Su quickly go back and told Zhou Yu about that.Zhou Yu is so furious that he want to take this mission personally.
Lu Su run to Zhuge liang again and Zhuge Liang tell him to tell Zhou Yu to forget about it and think of working together with me because Zhuge Liang know his intention.
Lu Su quickly go back again and told Zhou Yu about it.Zhou Yu resigned to his fate realising that he can't kill Zhuge Liang with such plan.
Mission 2)Zhou Yu tell his woe to Zhuge Liang that he need more arrows and asked him whether Zhuge Liang can produce 100,000 arrows in 1 week.
Zhuge Liang said ,"It may be too late if Cao Cao army arrive."
Zhou Yu ask him how many days he need.
Zhuge Liang say that he need 3 days
Zhou Yu and Lu su are surprised and Zhou Yu told him that no jokes permitted in the army.
Zhuge Liang tells Zhou Yu that he will give you a written statement that if he can't produce the arrows,he will be heheaded.
Zhou Yu is smiling himself.
After Zhuge Liang went,Zhou Yu tell Lu Su ,"Let alone 3 or 10 days,it need few months to produce 100,000 arrows" and Zhou Yu tell Lu Su to go and check out with Zhuge Liang how Zhuge Liang gotta prepare.
Zhuge Liang pretend to weep in front of Lu Su and tells him that Lu Su should not have tell Zhou Yu about what Zhuge Liang see through Zhou Yu tricks(Mission 1 and as wel as other tricks against Cao Cao).
Zhuge Liang ask Lu Su to bring some boats and soliders on the third day and remind Lu Su not to tell Zhou Yu about his request.
Indeed,Lu Su kept his promise not to say anything to Zhou Yu.
Three days later,Zhuge Liang invite Lu Su to his boat at night
Lu Su asked Zhuge Liang why Zhuge Liang invite Lu Su.
Zhuge Liang tells Lu Su that Lu Su will find out later.
His boat set sailing with other boats(soliders on other boats).
You see a lot of humans made of staws on the side of every boat.
In few minutes later,Lu Su find out that the boats are heading to Cao Cao camp.
Lu Su panics and asks Zhuge Liang what he is doing.
Zhuge Liang laugh and said that Zhuge Liang is going to take advantage of the fog and Lu Su will find out what Zhuge Liang is doing.
Cao Cao scout see the boats and alert Cao Cao.
Insufficient information about the boat due to the fog,Cao Cao decide not to use their own boats because Cao Cao is weary of traps.
Cao Cao ordered his army to throw arrows at the boats.
Hence,the human made of straw on the boat caught a lot of arrows.
Lu Su is so impressed and ask Zhuge Liang how Zhuge Liang prepare so exactly on that day.
Zhuge Liang explains that he predict the weather and know that the fog will come on that day.
In the morning,Zhuge Liang took all the arrows he "borrow" from Cao Cao and give all of them to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu is so flabbergasted and angry at the same time to find that there are over 100,000 arrows.
Upon hearing how Zhuge Liang does from Lu Su,Zhou Yu knows that he is no match for Zhuge Liang.

After chatting with Kar Ho,i wrote this in hope that people need to understand why,what,when,who,whom and how for this and that.
Some people can be presuaded and convinced but not all of them.
I don't intend to presuade unless an smart one will come out and say.
All i do is to tell my opinion and anyone is free to disagree.
If u want to persuade me,you need excellent concept to convince me and i pave my way to you to suceed it.It must be better than my concept at least.
If not,I am not paving my way to you because it is going to make the world boring.
Once more i say again,i only persuade people who try to pit their mind against my mind.
I only help people every day so that they can cope well with such things with their own in future and i don't persuade people to follow my concept unless someone is good enough to join me to aid me to succeed the concept.
To persuade people,you need subjective comments about judgement and opinions then people will understand.
Objective comments like "the ball is round" or anything based on your feeling when don't work or you will end up by swaying yourself to the mass who in turn make you absolutely bystander or useless person.
Open your mouth and i know whether it is objective or subjective as well as how smart you are.
Bear it in your mind.
I always judge people based on their actions and comments but i can always change my judgement if they show any improvement for long term basis.
I don't fool anyone and i always start talking serious stuffs when come to such things i value very very dearly.
Kar Ho,i hope that you understand it.
If someone is good enough to tell objective comments and i will withdraw and listen Intentively.
That is why i love to work with geniuses.
Genius ones i judge by their ability,brain-thinking and creativity.Not on their marks on papers.
I don't care how much mark you have and i am more interested into how you can think out of the box.
Can't think,never mind..it is good to be content what you have.
^_^
There is one way.And yet another way for people to walk on.
In 15months,i hope that i can help Kar Ho to develop himself into an adult whom he can do something in his own future like making his ideas into possible money-making or something else.
So that parents can understand what he need.
I want to help Kar Ho to develop his own style into very useful thing into the world society where his parents can accept him.
I simply admired Zhuge Liang for that and that is why i am constantly studying every strategies and think of my own ways to do.
Each time,i watch soccer game,i plotted such strategy to win this team and then plotted another one to win opposite side.
Look at Benitez,as young he use notebook to rate the players he saw and write pros and cons.
It depend how you develop your view.Trust those geniuses who are in good side and your life will be better and better,
I hope everybody can understand my other side of me.
