Magic ~ 魔术

不要相信你所聽到的東西﹐ 只能相信一半你所看到的東西。

Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.

~ Benjamin Franklin

In the process of acquiring knowledge - we observe, listen and decipher news and information. Information exchange has become very easy and almost instant in the Internet age. At the same time, it has also become very challenging to decipher what is accurate and useful. 

Besides Goldfish websites, blogs and YouTube videos. Email exchanges, SMS and forums are also very popular media for information exchange. How then can we siphon the useful and accurate information from these sources? I think we can only rely on opening up our eyes, our ears and our minds.

It is rather sad that we can't always believe what we hear but nowadays, sometimes we also cannot believe what we see!! I hope we can still rely on our heads to rationalise and see through all the fog ;)

Enjoy the magic video presented in this blog post. May I wish all a very Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year!
