Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt

Julius Caesar once said ,
'Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish.'

Me being obsessed on the 'dream(or the 'what should i do' )' issue these days, it seems as if all the books i read, the lectures i watch and the news are telling me the same thing.
'do what ever you want to do, that's the way to success'

i love it, since the message confirms my belief. but it might be that belief which makes me to draw the false message from all sorts of things.
so, i bought a book to test it. the book is called 'Chronicle of Blood Merchant' written by a Chinese writer who wrote 'To Live'.(later made to a film and won a Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival). the book is just a fiction so it would be strange if the book explicitly delivers the 'do what you want to do' message.

if it turns out i was too obsessed with the dream thing, it's a good sign. a sign that tells me i am focused. on the other hand, if i cannot find any thing about dream from the book, it's still good - i am well balanced and lucky enough to find the books and lectures that taught me great things about dreaming.

then what's the point of testing it? well, i just wanted to read the book.
but again, i agree with Caesar. 'Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish.'

ps. great quotes from Julius CAESAR
- Et tu, Brute? ( i didn't know the quote had rhyme until i read it in Latin)
- Veni, Vidi, Vici ( rather poetic!)
