Another discussion tittle.
Don't you think it looks an attractive name?
But, once upon a time, that author was a remarkably attractive to not only most of female also some male. Believe it or not.
His nick name is "Ko Ko Gyi". Some of his closed friends called him "Ko Moe".
Here is little flavor to taste.
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
Let's see. Is he a good speaker or not?

Hi Ko Ko Gyi,
I read Ma Myo's introduction on this discussion topic and I thought you would be writing more about this topic.
So, whenever I visit to the blog, I remember to check this comment threat and I find it still remain blank. More, I didn't see you post anything except your short self-introduction. So, I wonder you are inspiring US presidential elections 2008?
Yours,
AKL
Dear AKL,
Do you think he can compete with women who can do instantly and properly after they said to do so ? Example...(well I mean Hillary Rodham Clinton...not me)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to him. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
This quote reminds me of people I have met and also prompts me to question what kind of person myself.
Some people are decidedly reasonable, sensible and level-headed. I admire them for their calmness and coolness even under the most challenging circumstances. They are also popular and have many friends who are ready to seek advice from them. They may not be perfect but they are ready and open to admit their mistakes and imperfections. They are also good at adapting to the changes in the circumstances.
The other type of people is the complete opposite of the first group. They are distinctly odd. They are irritable and dislike almost everything in the universe. Most of their ideas are always at odds with other people. They are not the type you can befriend easily. They are not popular in their community and they do not care less about their popularity either.
Most people fall between those two extremes, they are not too reasonable but they are not too outlandish. However, the interesting types are the two extremes.
George Bernard Shaw, as quoted above, favoured the unreasonable type. Probably he liked the idea of a misfit coming up with a weird idea once in a while.
I always like the reasonable ones who are easier to deal with. They may not change the world but they are the ones who are reliable and always bring results. So give me the reasonable types, please!
Wait a moment! On second thought, imagine the world full of people who are ready to accept whatever is given and always happy, we would still be living in the Stone Age. How about the world full of people who are always unhappy and trying to change the world every moment of their lives? We would have finished each other over the arguments and there would be no civilisation left.
So, I would go with the majority population of the reasonables with probably less than one percent of the unreasonables.
What kind of person am I? I thought, I already answered.
Well, at last, reasonable man was successfully pushed by unreasonable one.
Good One Maung Soe.
Carry on for new topics.
