Simplicity

My mom ran into my room and told me this story out of total randomness yesterday night when I was casually sitting here surfing the web...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the US astronaut first went to to outer space, they had problems jotting notes down because their pens were not working under zero gravity conditions.
The ink just won't come out because there were no gravity.

After 20 years of research and millions invested into this particular problem, astronauts finally found a solution.

But it wasn't the US astronaut who had found the solution tho.
It was the Russians aka Soviet Union cosmonauts, who went to space years after the US astronaut did.

How did they managed to overcome this problem that the US had and couldn't fix for such long time with such a big fund?

well...
They Russians just happened to have brought along their pencil...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The moral of the story is,

Sometimes it's not worth looking too far forward or too deep inside, either for solutions or signs..
You may end up complicating stuffs and blurring your perception of what you 1st had in mind.

Sometimes, the solution may just lie in the simplest of things...

I truly believe that it's the simple stuffs that are most beautiful.



My lil' new phone hang-thingy.. Got it from a 扭扭蛋 contraption in Cineleisure 2day..
"In doing anything, aim for the world record!!!"...
I suppose that's wat it's telling me XD
