Newton's Apple

We've all heard the story... If you haven't, let me tell you. One day, Isaac Newton was walking in an apple field. He was thinking about the nature, the rules that govern it, and how we might be able to understand them. Somehow he got tired and slept under one of the apple trees. Then suddenly an apple just fell right on his head. He woke up and realize that an apple just hit him in the head. It made him think for a while, why that apple fell on to him, what law(s) could possibly be working behind it, and then....well the rest is history. He formulated the universal law of gravity, which remained unchallenged untill the early 20th century, when Einstein presented his general theory of relativity.
What was amazing is that, apple is something we commonly see in our life. An apple falling from its tree is something we normally take for granted. Its the way we are 'thought' during our life. That every thing must fall from a certain height to the ground, not the other way around or something else.
What made the apple that hit Newton's head so special? Has there never been anyone got hit by an apple in his/her head before him? Then why should he be the one who formulated the gravity law out of this little and unimportant accident ? (some of you might yell: "hey.... that story was just a legend dude..."  Okay, but that's not the point right now..)
Sometimes, in the course of our lives, we encounter those certain moments when we got 'hit by an apple', and realize something we have never realize or know of before. We might got hit by an apple that makes us understand our weakness, we might got hit by an apple that reminds us to be more passionate to others etc. There are apples that remind us of what friendship should be, there are apples that remind us of how important our family are, etc.

These moments of 'got hit by an apple' can be joyful, painfull, revelating, or even scary perhaps. (F=m.a, said Mr. Newton. The bigger the apple, and the faster it hit you, the more pain you will feel.)
But the more I think of it, I concluded that these are what makes us learn. Learn what life should be and  what life has turned out to be. Learn what to value and what to leave. So it is something we should be grateful of, despite the pains. It's the lessons that we should keep.

Still, an apple is an apple. It takes the right frame of mind and willingness to pay attention, as in the case of Newton's apple, to make it worthwile. Thousands of apples may hit you, but if you are being ignorant, then.....
I just hope that I will have the ability to understand any lessons from the apples I (will) encounter in my life.
So, apple everyone.... ??
