A 9 year old discusses the meaning of life…

Posted on April 18, 2013 by ahamin

Try asking an adult the same question… most won’t know how to answer like this, probably because kids have a wider imagination and a different perspective of life and the universe.

Albert Einstein said: ‘Imagination is more important than knowledge.’ Because one can have all the knowledge in the world but it will be as worthless as finding your weight of gold in the middle of the desert, if you don’t have the imagination to use it, then your knowledge will worth nothing. That is why it is important to keep the inner child alive, especially when it comes to creating things. Your child can help discover the unimaginable.

God bless that little kid, he had open our minds and inspired us too.

How to grow and raise a story?

Writers are the Soil
Ideas are the Seeds
Your personal experiences = The environmental conditions
Passion = Water

And last but not least…

Patience = Time

Hello strangers…

It does feel weird not to blog for a while, especially since my last post was an April’s Fool ruse of me getting a bad news from my doctor.
I have been doing what I love the most lately, spending time with the family and writing Iblis, the second book of the Psychs series, I have changed the first title, which was the Remnant, but I kept the name, I’ll be using it as a title of one of my shocking chapters.
At the moment, I am preparing for a new event, a book signing at Avenues mall, but I am also preparing for representing the first premiere of Iblis, it is on the way, I don’t want to hasten things up, I like my stories to come out how they want, when they want.
Until then, I’ll keep doing what I do best, getting beaten by my nephews on Fifa (a soccer game on PS3).

Since I mentioned soccer and video games, here’s an inside joke only us Football hooligans can get.

My biggest fears became true

I have never thought my life has something that big and scary installed for me. You live one day at a time where most of our days are composed from routine that when someone drops a bomb at you, you don’t know what to do next.
Two days ago, I went for a routine checkup at the hospital where my sister works. Heart rate is well, 67 beat/minute, my breathing rate was 17 / minute , and my blood pressure is 100/70… Those numbers made me regret spending money to see how well I am. All is left was the blood test.
When I got the call yesterday, I couldn’t believe it, I have never thought something like that would happen to me. I was in complete denial, so I went to see the doctor. I took my Mustang and drove as fast as I could, trying my best to concentrate on the underwater tunnel. When I emerged from the other side of the lake, a thought came to me…
That I have the most gullible readers who have forgot what day it is today.

Happy April’s fool!!

If I have scared you in any way, I apologize. But you know what would be funny… If some day I get sick for real, I will be the boy who cried ‘Wolf!!’. This story fits our day and I would recommend kids to have it in their childhood stories shelves. When I read it, I stopped telling lies… Like the one I have just told you. 🙂

Enjoy your day!
