<div><br /></div><div><i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lily-Maia-Adventure-Jack-Horner-ebook/dp/B0CSPK5D4F/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lily and Maia: A Dinosaur Adventure</a> </i>is an inspiring story about an intrepid, very young, female amateur paleontologist who is crazy about dinosaurs and goes on an adventure in Montana in quest of nests of <i><a href="https://museumoftherockies.org/online-learning/maiasaura" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maiasaura</a></i>. (<i>Maiasaura</i> is a type of duck-billed dinosaur which the author, <a href="https://jackhornersdinosaurs.com/about-jack/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jack Horner</a>, discovered with his friend in that region of the United States.) Why should this book be on every child's bookshelf?</div><span class="fullpost"><div><br /></div><div>Firstly, <i>Lily and Maia</i> highlights the importance of pursuing your passion. Life is short and, if possible, what is better than doing what you love? This book encourages parents and teachers alike to wholeheartedly support their children in their endeavors, as long as they are positive and bring good to the world.</div><div><br /></div><div>Moreover, <i>Lily and Maia</i> raises the paramount theme of science. Fostering the love of science is dispensable as our species' existence hinges on it, and childhood is the best time to start instilling this quality. Through the medium of dinosaurs and paleontology, <i>Lily and Maia</i> beautifully conveys this critical message.</div><div><br /></div><div>Dedicated to Jack Horner's colleague <a href="https://x.com/histo_holly" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Holly Woodward</a> and featuring lovely illustrations by Grace Hattrup, <i>Lily and Maia</i> offers a simple yet profound children's story filled with adventure, friendship, and science and is a great gift to the world of education.</div><div><br /></div><div>Have you read <i>Lily and Maia: A Dinosaur Adventure</i>?

I am beyond grateful to still be alive and kicking at the present moment and able to continue relishing the glory emanated by the <a href="https://klinsmanhinjaya.blogspot.com/2016/07/why-dinosaurs.html" target="_blank">dinosaurs</a>, <a href="https://klinsmanhinjaya.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-be-good-at-english.html" target="_blank">English language</a>, and <a href="https://klinsmanhinjaya.blogspot.com/2016/04/why-jay-chou.html" target="_blank">Jay Chou</a>. Some moment ago, the hardwiring of my brain produced an idea of carefully examining the simple phrase which is this post's title: <i>have to</i>. This two-word expression might look simple, but, I believe, the impact it makes on a human's life can be absolutely profound and far from negligible.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyHW45r9HaxFM0jVxo4f2Db6TJa0g4L-jHye0cx60fQSN-NUiIc6UC_1syrK4mU2aobGTqbWRuKc9WHJdzpO8CINF83yfw63IEDkJZZ6oYtuJceTan80GGA9pOu0QvjAV-lFk2G8KdPbjdUeq1-65rCpz-e6sd1wQBQojwbvj5sGJRf0qcFyb_zWVomPNn/s1920/rain-7833614_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyHW45r9HaxFM0jVxo4f2Db6TJa0g4L-jHye0cx60fQSN-NUiIc6UC_1syrK4mU2aobGTqbWRuKc9WHJdzpO8CINF83yfw63IEDkJZZ6oYtuJceTan80GGA9pOu0QvjAV-lFk2G8KdPbjdUeq1-65rCpz-e6sd1wQBQojwbvj5sGJRf0qcFyb_zWVomPNn/w400-h400/rain-7833614_1920.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div>The expression <i>have to</i> denotes obligation. It shows that something is necessary and not doing so would mean something negative ensues. For the most part, obligation is indeed positive; it can establish peace and order, with which humans can thrive. However, I think we sometimes need to rethink this concept of <i>having to</i> do something, simply because perhaps we actually do <i>not</i> have to do it.</div><span class="fullpost"><div><br /></div><div>An example that springs to mind is marriage. So many people allow themselves to be bound in this romantic relationship such that it seems obligatory for humans to take wedding vows at some point in their lives. But is it? Does <i>everyone</i> <i>have to</i> place themselves in such a commitment? Does getting married ensure one lives an ideal, happy life?</div><div><br /></div><div>Let's turn to lifestyle. Well-to-do people may cause some to drool over their luxuries and extravagance. But then a question arises: Do people <i>have to</i> be wealthy? Of course, nobody can be genuinely content with their lives if they are impecunious, but <a href="https://klinsmanhinjaya.blogspot.com/2020/07/stoicism.html" target="_blank">Stoicism</a> says that in order to have peace of mind, you just have to be able to afford the basic necessities.</div><div><br /></div><div>We could contemplate this eviternally. Do I have to reach the position of a director? A president? Do I have to have a child? Children? Do I have to buy a PS5? A Pagani? Do I have to possess a toned physique? A long, pointy nose? Do I have to travel to Japan? Study in the US? Live in a mansion? And the list infinitely goes on and on...</div><div><br /></div><div>No single human is exactly the same as the other. We come from different backgrounds and have different tastes and preferences. Your <i>have to</i> might be different from my <i>have to</i>. This is not a one-size-fits-all matter. Many people may be surprised that they actually have far fewer <i>have to</i>'s than there appear to be. Probably what we really <i>have to</i> do in life is simply become more recalcitrant. ;)</div></span>Klinsman Hinjayahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09010772970308066196noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693740212840142934.post-86871394306637795792024-01-05T14:39:00.002+07:002024-01-05T14:39:42.717+07:00Quote #110<blockquote class="tr_bq">

Sated after gulping down an eight-piece pizza, I am sitting by myself in the spacious restaurant, contemplating my life at present and in the past.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh_lDJ19ar7vWoZPtNyA79w-XOYufWzMmOsdn5V-VKzf71GW9twVRdWPpXELFuxmDqmdZ_S_XXzo6cbk84JI5k2Wg-aUZeNAHl1Acpq7c-sWJ0JDFBmEcgv1ZcLgrhZI1YyGfXtXGXn86mftSOhkeA7n3YLvZBoQqihPjD7x_WE4T4KHD6ueBlgBLl9Q/s5184/IMG_20221129_120550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3904" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh_lDJ19ar7vWoZPtNyA79w-XOYufWzMmOsdn5V-VKzf71GW9twVRdWPpXELFuxmDqmdZ_S_XXzo6cbk84JI5k2Wg-aUZeNAHl1Acpq7c-sWJ0JDFBmEcgv1ZcLgrhZI1YyGfXtXGXn86mftSOhkeA7n3YLvZBoQqihPjD7x_WE4T4KHD6ueBlgBLl9Q/w301-h400/IMG_20221129_120550.jpg" width="301" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pardon my narcissism. π</td></tr></tbody></table><p>When people hear the word "<a href="https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/american/chindo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chindo</a>", they probably picture a well-off person whose parents own a successful business. They don't need to think about how to keep their head above water, being immune from financial suffering or agony. I believe there are a great many people of my ilk who match the above description, hence the stereostype; however, I'm not one of them. Although my childhood wasn't completely abominable, I wasn't born with a silver (or bronze) spoon in my mouth. There were times of adversity, which any sane human being would not want to be in.</p><span class="fullpost"><p>Nomadicity was a pesky thing in my childhood β my family had to move from one abode to another several times. There was a time when five of us (I have two older brothers) had to live in a relatively tiny room in a boarding house. As a result, there were probably two disastrous events where diseases spread in the family, affecting at least some of us and knocking the humans into gross health inconveniences. I'd say it was probably almost a borderline inhuman way of living.</p><p>My dad didn't have a permanent job and my mom was a housewife, so my family wasn't financially stable. I can't help but lament the fact that my mom had to work really hard, making and selling soy milk in order to bring home the bacon. Eating pizza was a luxury for us, simply because money was a rarity for us. My mom's blood, sweat, and tears is something I cannot possibly forget and will always be deeply thankful for.</p><p>Now things have changed quite a lot. Of course I'm not as wealthy as my music idol, the Taiwanese maestro <a href="https://klinsmanhinjaya.blogspot.com/2016/04/why-jay-chou.html" target="_blank">Jay Chou</a>, but at least, thanks to my lovely livelihood, I can devour a Subway sandwich without thinking much about the price. Now I have my own library comprised of multiple books which are right up my alley (take a look at my bibliotheca <a href="https://twitter.com/KlinsmanHinjaya/status/1621417630686142464" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>) β thank heaven I have reached one of my dreams! My younger self wasn't as "lucky" as my present self (even my college education had to be financially supported by my aunts), but it was no problem, really. We can't choose what family we are born into etc. (it's a <a href="https://klinsmanhinjaya.blogspot.com/2020/07/stoicism.html" target="_blank">Stoic</a> revelation), but we can choose to change the course of our lives. What will my future be like? No one knows. Until then I will do my best to pave the way for my life aspirations. π</p></span>Klinsman Hinjayahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09010772970308066196noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693740212840142934.post-21083248707991223592023-04-13T23:53:00.002+07:002023-04-13T23:53:30.308+07:00Quote #101<blockquote class="tr_bq">
