Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”
“I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes” replies Watson. “And what do you deduce from that?” Watson ponders for a minute.
“Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?”
Holmes is silent for a moment. “Watson, you idiot!” he says. “Someone has stolen our tent!”

Lesson learnt - The answer to most question in life is often not that complicated.
Question
1) Do I love him/her? - yes/no
2) How to go to work early tomorrow? - Sleep earlier
3) What to do to get promotion? - Work harder
4) Who is that guy with my girlfriend? - Ask him
Of course, some answers deserve every consideration. We must consider every factors before making a decision. I am all for that, but believe me when I say that most of the time, we actually already know the answer to it. And it is just that simple..
The problem is when we want to figure out any other way to get what we want. In short, we want an answer that we like or sometimes, we just want to complicate things for fun
Any other questions you might know that we often complicated their answers?
———- Personal Note ———
Enjoy your weekend dear friends… I apparently is now having headache. Hopefully tomorrow, with some sleep it’ll get better.
