We can apply it by always seeking the truth. For example, when we hear a rumor, we look for facts to confirm or deny it.
In daily life, we can apply 'facts best fiction' by relying on evidence - based information. When making decisions, like choosing a product, we should look at facts such as reviews and specifications rather than believing in fictional claims made by some advertisers. Also, in conversations, we should base our statements on facts to be more reliable and trustworthy.
One way to apply 'facts best fiction' in daily life is to be critical of the information we consume. In the age of social media, there is a lot of fictional or half - true content. We need to verify facts. For instance, if we read about a health tip online, we should check with reliable medical sources. When it comes to relationships, being honest and basing our interactions on facts rather than false pretenses also reflects this concept. And in learning, we should focus on factual knowledge rather than being misled by fictional or unproven ideas.
In daily life, we should always tell the truth when dealing with others. For example, when giving feedback or sharing experiences, not making things up. Also, when we make a promise, we should keep it, because truth in our actions is as important as truth in our words.
One way to apply 'time being novel' in daily life is to try new things regularly. For example, take a different route to work. This makes the time of your commute novel as you see new sights and perhaps meet new people.
We can use it when inviting friends to a movie night to watch a pulp fiction - style movie. Just say 'Be there or be square, we're having a pulp fiction movie marathon tonight!'
In cooking, you can take an old family recipe (something old) and add new, modern ingredients (something new). For example, adding a new type of spice or a modern cooking technique. The result could be a novel dish that has a touch of tradition but also a new flavor.
You can start by trying new hobbies. For example, if you always wanted to paint but were afraid of not being good at it, just start. That's taking a risk, and if you do, you'll have a story about your painting journey.
One way is in cooking. First, you learn the traditional recipes, and then you can be novel by adding your own unique ingredients or cooking methods.
We can look for signs of God's presence in the events that happen to us each day, seeing our own lives as a story where God is involved.
In daily life, to apply the concept from the 'big rocks small rocks story', first, we need to analyze what are the big rocks for us. For example, if health is a big rock, we should schedule regular exercise and proper diet as top priorities. Then, for the small rocks, like watching TV or chatting with friends casually, we can fit them in around the big rocks. Another example could be in work. If a major project is a big rock, we should allocate dedicated time for it without getting distracted by minor office tasks (small rocks). This way, we can manage our time and resources more effectively.
One can be more open - minded. Just like not being a 'rectangle' which might symbolize rigidity, we should be flexible in our thoughts and actions. Avoid being like the predictable characters in pulp fiction. For example, try new things instead of following the same routine every day.
One can start by being true to their own experiences and not getting influenced too much by what others say or the general stories around. For example, if there is a story that says a certain career is the only successful one, but you have a passion for something else, follow your passion.
