Dan Brown’s New Book Will Hit The Big Screen

Dan Brown’s New Book, The Lost Symbol, Set for September Release
Dan Brown made the Catholic Church’s enemies list for “The Da Vinci Code” and “Angels and Demons” and lived to tell about it. His third book in his Robert Langdon series “The Lost Symbol” will be out in September to tempt fate and Jesus again.

Author of the controversial book The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown is with yet again another novel in his Robert Langdon series. The Lost Symbol will be published in the U.K. on the 15th  of September by Transworld Publishers, a division of The Random House Group who has been publishing all of Dan Brown’s books.

“This novel has been a strange and wonderful journey,” said Brown. “Weaving five years of research into the story’s twelve-hour timeframe was an exhilarating challenge. Robert Langdon’s life clearly moves a lot faster than mine.”

And The Lost Symbol will hit the big screen. In fact, Sony Pictures are moving forward with an adaptation of the book with Tom Hanks in the lead role once again.

People Are Stupid

“People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.”

Qouted from Terry Goodkind’s The Wizard’s First Rule.

Is it not true?

Change

Copied from my wordpress blog, originally posted on the 17th of April, 2009.

Today is a very boring day. At the moment I’m supposed to watch BNTM but I’m gonna pass. I don’t want to watch television today, and give my self some piece of solitude to reflect about me and things or people around me.

People are oftentimes highly resistant to change because we generally attend to information on the bases of our schemas, especially on our self schemas. In the process of our becoming whole, we tend to resist change. What and how we see our self may be a culprit to this resistance.

I am just reminded of the usual statement my friends from Kinse and other facilitators from the circle I am in. “I am I, you are you.” The speaker’s personal schema is on the bases of the “this is who I am, and that’s who your are” is oftentimes abused by most people. This type of thinking may only do two things, helps the person to maturity or to the process of individuation or hinders the person. It hinders because it is either not understood well, or abused.

The statement is a very powerful statement, and I see and feel how beautiful it is. But a speaker and a believer as I am needs to remember and bear in mind all the time that I am responsible of my self and aware of the consequences of my actions. Other than that, if my goal is to reach full individuation or actualization as  Abraham Maslow termed it, responsibility is not enough.

Sometimes in order to be better, there are things I should change for the better and not for the worse. My mentor and friend, who is like a father to me, told me one time that I don’t need to change. He spoke very powerful and strong words to me, and it made me cry and makes me cry even more when I remember it. I cried not because I hate what he said, but because I feel appreciated for who I am. And I will always remember that.

I don’t need to change because others are telling me to. I don’t need to change for others. If there would be something to change about me, it would be for my own benefits and not for others.

Change is existent. People change, the environment changes, matter changes, and almost anything in the world changes.

Project Earth: Solar Lenses

  Watch video here.

Scientists are finding ways to help the Earth against the effects of global warming. One of the latest projects and successful experiments done is on thin Solar Lenses that would deflect the sun rays from the Earth. This is one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs ever. But there’s a catch, it will take the world’s billions for the project, causing global economic crisis. Do we opt to take the risk?

What could YOU do for the planet with $20,000?

Entry copied from my wordpress blog

Watch video here.

SunChips and National Geographic have joined forces to create the Green Effect, an initiative to inspire people to take small steps for big change.

They will award $20,000 each to five people or groups that have compelling ideas for green change in their communities. More details about the contest here.

Well,  as for me I don’t need a price to do something about the environment. I will continue recycling papers, and perhaps encourage my friends to do the same.
