This post, i will list out some of my favourites, top few people or objects. First, for history, that must include politics. My favourite modern leader is Adolf Hitler, not about what he did , but what he was. An artist i should say, with great emotions. Great representative of the artists for a political leader. Well, during song dynasty , there is an emperor who was so great, he can be listed as top in his poems etc, but well he is simply a bad emperor. So, as long as it met my criteria, it is fine , even it is Hitler. Then, my favourite army commander shall be Sun zi. Of course, he is the author of the Art of War(Sun Zi Bing Fa). Warring state era did produce many great men, he is just one of the many. Okay, now it shall be arts' turn. My favourite artist, including musician etc. Well, i give credit to alot of people here. Beethoven, Chopin for the western classics, too bad chinese did not invent something like chords to pass down by records. Hence, many were lost through thousands of years. I like the true and pure kind of R&B by the blacks. Those are emotional and sexy, mind soothing. In term of visual arts, i simply do not like anyone or know enough. Now, for philosophers, well, i should say homer can be one of my favourites actually, his words gave me some inspirations. Confucius, i should say i would not put him in my favourites though, i like some other "guy", maybe one of his disciple. Meng zi, similar teachings but not exactly the same. Well, again, in fact, Buddhism can be my favourite finally, if u recognise it as a philosophy. So.....for the paranormal.....it is something new, i cannot find anyone fascinating enough for me to call him a master....so.....i leave it blank. For Basketball player, I would give credit again....too many players....good players but are role players. Shane Battier, Brent Barry, and people like Mumtombo, so loving and caring. Well, lets see, there are plenty of favourites left. My favourite actor shall be Will smith.....in fact, Jim Carey can be the second one. For chinese, i guess i have to put my number 1 on Jet Li, he is a philathropist now........Always doing his best. Sorry I do not have any actress to name. Asking bout movies or those, thats too many, but i should say i do like epic, war, emotional ones. Here, i will give one person a few favourite actually. Tang Bo Hu, a poor guy, poor life, lost almost everything, screwed up imperial exams. Jailed. Died early. Poet, artist, also a philosopher. In fact, very great to me. Although people might ask why he did not keep trying, and left himself to rot after a series of misfortunes. Well, i would say, he might be able to pull himself back but.....who knows what does those experiences felt like? lost your wife, lost your parents? jailed? The era he live in is also a distractive age. I know these can be excuses. But that is just what had already happened. Well, now. Recently i knew about mimosa, the plant that might help my skin and the sparrow which flew into my paternal grandfather's house before i was born. That sparrow made a nest on the balcony, those relatives said it must be a boy. Well, mimosa......little sparrow. In fact, both are little and .......very similar. Similar to one another and also to me. I will let them be my avatar then. Small but survived........the sparrow... that is what a friend said to me. Closed when touched......the mimosa....that is what i said.... Those are just what Zackwise is about. That is me...... That is my philosophy
