No When. No Want. No Worry.
Learnt about this phrase through an online flash game, whackyourboss.com. The game is designed for people who hate their bosses and it is a place for them to manage their anger.
At the end of each "whacking", the person will take out his mp3 player and listen to this phrase keep repeating over and over again with the sound of the sea behind, :"No When. No Want. No Worry."
So where did this phrase come from? Searched about it on the net and it came out to be from the Tsunami incident back in 2004.
There was this tribe called "The Moken", who lives in the Andaman Sea of SouthEastAsia. They spend most of their time on the ocean. They all survived the Tsunami because they all knew that the Tsunami was coming.
This interviewer asked them how old were they, they didn't know. Most of their time is spent on fishing or swimming at the sea. All they think about is NOW, they do not have a word for WHEN.
They also do not have a word for WANT. They either "have" or "need".
So when you have No When, No Want... you have No Worry.
You would not be worried about the time, wanting to finish your assignment before the deadline...
You would not be worried about wanting something, wanting a new shoe, a new laptop or a new car...
You have no attachment, nothing to tie you down, therefore no worry.
