"Pragmatism without Vision and Faith is just plain Bo-Chup"

prag·ma·tism Philosophy.
A movement consisting of varying but associated theories, originally developed by Charles
S.Peirce and William James and distinguished by the doctrine that the meaning of an idea or
a proposition lies in its observable practical consequences.

A practical, matter-of-fact way of approaching or assessing situations or of solving problems.

I was talking with a gal over MSN yesterday. I told her I got 2 concurrent Book project running. She say it's not realistic to pursue a book due in Singapore, especially if you have no credentials.
All I replied is "God will provide", haha.

She say she's a pragmatist. In which I replied with the quote I used as the title for this entry "Pragmatism without Vision and Faith is just plain B0-Chup"

By the way "Bo-chup means unmoved in Singlish terms"

So What is Pragmatism anyway?

Well I am a pragmatist. But I'm also a dreamer. How can Realism and Dreams mixed?

I feel that there is a need to depend on Vision, Faith and Dreams to keep you going. Pragmatism is the check used periodically to access the realism and the alternative needed to keep you dreams going.

So there you have it. That's how you reach you Dreams, Ambition, Vision. Give it a dose of realism (pragmatism), make necessary chances and proceed. But never say never before you ever get started.

Cause "Pragmatism without Vision and Faith is just plain Bo-Chup"
