The Tipping Point

To make it short, this book is about social epidemic, like how a trend (any trend) started.

I like most of its content, but this is my favorite.

Character, then, isn't what we think it is or, rather, what we want it to be. It isn't a stable, easily indentifiable set of closely related traits, and it only seems that way because of a glitch in the way our brains are organized. Character is more like a bundle of habits and tendencies and interests, loosely bound together and dependent, at certain times, or circumstance and context. The reason that most of us seem to have a consistent character is that most of us are really good at controlling our environment.

Why?

Because now I have another excuse for being somebody (which I think) not me sometimes. =P




P.S : Just read through my old postings, and it makes me have this strange feeling... hihihi..
