'Corpse' punches doctor in morgue

A Romanian boy who was drinking coffee passed out and found himself lying in a morgue. He was so traumatised that he punched the doctor inspecting him. The doctor in turn suffered such a shock that he had to take time off work for counselling.

Quarter-life crisis

Here's an email i received some time ago..At that point of time, i didnt see this applicable (i was only 18 then).. But now,on the verge of coming to a decision for the next part of my life, i find this mail very true and helpful. Maybe not as much as helpful..but nonetheless i find it worth a read. Here goes:

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.

Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.

You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.



"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Passion rules?

Everyone has a passion. A dream in life.

Something that we hope to achieve before the last breath.

However, because of various reasons...Not every one is willing to go after their dream. Thus, the dream therefore remained only A DREAM.

Many do what they do in life because it is the 'proper' path. The path taken by everyone else. The Safe path.


Let's take for example, a talented artist. Under the circumstances in spore, the talented guy would most likely give up his passion for art as a career just because 'it wouldnt work'. Not here. Not in the region.

For the sake of a promised paycheck every month, the guy has therefore to give up his passion. All because there are other jobs that pay better than what his 'dream job' can provide.

One can then argue that money isnt everything. THat to follow one's dream and passion is of the only importance. But is money really not worth anything?

So here's the question, when it comes down to choosing between ur dream and what you know is 'proper', which would you choose? Do u choose what is expected of you? Or do u create a path for yourself despite all the risks involved?

Is it wise to give up the assurance of a guaranteed fat paycheck just to satisfy your dream?
