Btw, fyi, 1 year is short term (in accounting)

AndrewPKYap SG

Have you heard of the "inverted yield curve" dear?

If follow the logic that "you will be more sure of things happening next few min than next year" then you are only certain about?

sunny6110 SG

Using ur curve my dear... can u predict tmr 4D 1st prize wat number?? Mr. Green

blu_sky SG

Yes, i had. And didnt i say that is the basic rule? There are always exceptions to basic rules Laughing

You can be certain of nothing, unless it has already happened. however, you can estimate better things that are of nearer future than things of further future. Again, that is the basic rule.

AndrewPKYap SG

I will come back to smart alack "sunny6110"....

Are you sure that "You can be certain of nothing, unless it has happened"?

blu_sky SG

Except death and taxes? Laughing

Of course, again, that is a general statement. There again are exceptions

AndrewPKYap SG

Is it possible to plan for everything, every possible scenario?

sunny6110 SG

OK... I'm Out since its in aunt agony...

guess u juz need some listening ears n No comments...

And Gd luck~ Wink

Bontakun SG

O_o

AndrewPKYap SG

We do not have to talk about certainty of the future since you are so smart... are you sure that you can be certain of the past all the time? Is it normal for people to go, when they talk about the past "I thought, I thought!...."

blu_sky SG

wouldnt it be too tiring even if that is possible?

AndrewPKYap SG

No it is not I need a listening ear, I am trying to help the people with "problems" in AA see the "reality" of life, the nature of time and space... I believe that it will help them cope and relieve their distress.

blu_sky SG

When an event has happened, it has happened. Nothing can change that. However, perception of that event that happened can be changed. Hope i've answered your qn on 'i thought, i thought'.

AndrewPKYap SG

Yes too tiring and too impossible... and since you are from accounts, too expensive, maybe?

blu_sky SG

Yes, it would be too expensive.

btw, did i say im from accounts? Mr. Green

AndrewPKYap SG

So you see even the past is not "certain" right? So what is certain? Is there nothing that is certain? Read the "poem" again and tell me what is certain?

AndrewPKYap SG

OK ex-accounting student...

Bontakun SG

What is the purpose of this topic?

With what do you put reference to "time" with?

What can we learn from this topic?

blu_sky SG

I'll read and digest the poem tonight. gotta get back to my work now, or i will have to change my plans for tonight. Laughing

AndrewPKYap SG

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth." Your sig...

It will help people become "LOVE"

AndrewPKYap SG

You are so smart dear.
