On Being In Control
Do you feel you're in control? It's easy to tell if you're the boss of some leading money-spinning, megawatt conglomerate. Or even when you're behind the wheels of a bus; you know you're in control (at least before you start nodding off to sleep).
How about your life? Do you feel that you're in control of your life? If yes, are you sure about it? Or are you just trying to convince yourself?
What does it mean to be in control of your life?
How do you know you're in charge, and not merely being played as a puppet?

Why suddenly the question Hiyoshi?
Pycno- do you by any chance have a hand in this mind-boggling entry?? hahah
Yoshi- chill off son!
err.. *clueless*
soalan trick ke ni?
Hiyoshi...
This is a very subjective matter in question - life and control.
Relatively, to what should we measure our 'controllability'? There should be a benchmark to somewhere/something/somebody.
Entahlah...

engineer speaking of control :)
very philosophical question.
hiyoshi seems like he has a lot of issues lately; what with asking about control and previously on generation gaps and all. probably he's just hit puberty or adulthood, hehehe.
to be honest i feel i'm only partially in control of my life, God decides most of the flow and i just try to adapt to the changes...
I wud say this is the first time u wrote something different...my first impression was "this is really not u.." Isnt yoshi supposed to be someone cheerful?? witty?? and the likes? but yeah..I believe this is the other side of u...so let me just give out my say on this control stuff..
just for ur info, my freiza.blogspot blog was a blog to where I wrote all my depression thought, frustration n all...I did that when I was 19 to 20..now I think I've turned out to be more positive person who look forward without thinking too much about what lies ahead..I used to let myself to be controlled by 'one person'..not directly but indirectly..I let myself cowtowing to what 'that person' said..though 'that person' never forced me to do so..why?? The MAIN reason had better be off the record but other reason was because my inferiority...so pathetic isn't it?
Now, I choose to colour my own life.. DONT ever let others to determine what u wanna be, where u wanna go..u must do it for urself...you can hear to others' opinion but u dont necessarily need to follow that...I THINK..
In the case where those are the ones who close to u, u may want to explain why u take certain actions..why u need to do certain things...etch...n ask for their consent or 'restu'..As for my case, at times my parents wont allow me to do certain things which are seem to normal to other families..I know that they are just being protective n I wud say so far I never did anything against their advice but if I really want to do that, say..go out at night..I wud try hard to assure them that I'll be safe like give all my friends' numbers to them, where is my destination so that they wud now where am I heading n who my friends are..
sometimes it may take time to make others understand us but if u have that endeavour to stand out for urself, God Willing..u make succeed in doing so!
ok now at this stage I really feel like an old sage (unauthorized one!) Im not sure whether this cud be apply to ur case, but yeah..at least I try to say something ri8? :) bye
Wooohhoooo!! I have a new blog! ;)
Right. Having said that, lets get back to bussiness. What's this about life and control?! *snickers*
Lol. This is not the usual hiyoshi I see. But anyhow, lets sit back a bit and think. In depends on how you define life control. For me, we are never entirely in control of our life. Never had and never will be. Because everything we do goes back to the blessings of the Almighty and ultimately what is stated as our 6th Rukun Iman - Qada' and Qadar. Then again, there is still the concept of free will. Yes, everything goes back to Allah but with everything that we choose to do, we have the choice to choose. So in the end I guess when you feel like your life is spiraling out of control, just do the only right thing we should do -turn to Allah and pray for his guidance. Cheerios jamil! ;P
I thought about it..
Yes, I agree to what other respondents said...
There are some portion in our life that we have total control of it, and there are some portion of our life that we don't have control in. Qada' and Qadar...
No DITH...I've nothing to do with this 'clueless' entry. But wait....., having read Yoshi's latest entry, has this got to do with him having to go, with dragging feet, back to College??
Come on Hiyoshi, you HAVE to be IN CONTROL. It's no good having a 'puppet-doctor'......
I wonder who is that puppet-Master....care to explain??
