What I've learned so far ..

What I've learned so far in my 20 years of..


LOVE:
1. Love is God.
2. Love hurts. But once you learn how to deal with the pain, moving forward is as easy as ABC.
3. Love is not love until you give it away.
4. The best feeling in the world is being loved.
5. You can't just be friends with the person you're in love with.
6. We don't need a boyfriend/girlfriend to make us feel loved.. that is why we have families and friends.
7. Being single is not synonymous to being loveless.:D

FRIENDSHIP:
1. Your best friend is God.
2. People who insult you infront of your face are considered as true friends. When they begin to say something behind your back, they are fake!
3. A true friend is someone whom you can lean on.
4. Remember, not all friends are TRUE FRIENDS.
5. True friendship does not require similarities. It's just a matter of understanding each others differences.
6. It's better to be alone than to be in bad company.
7. True friends will always be there to help you even without you asking for it.


LIFE (in general):
1. A life without God is useless.
2. Dreaming alone is a not a dream. But dreaming with someone else is the beginning of reality.
3. Life is a series of ups and downs.
4. Mothers know best! They won't do anything that would harm their children.
5. Don't let failures stumble you.
6. Not having the courage to try is the beginning of failure.
7. You can't please everybody.
8. There's no such thing as destiny. But there is "God's Will".
9. In order to be successful, you must work hard and be patient.
10. Don't dwell too much in the past. Move on. Let go.
11. And lastly, We only have one life to live. So make every moment count. (VCF)

So i believe, my 20 years was well spent. Everyday, we encounter a lot of things-challenges, achievements, mistakes, failures etc. All we have to do is to check ourselves ,everyday, if we are really growing in all areas in our lives. Challenges and achievements should motivate us to work harder. Mistakes should give us lessons to learn. And failures should encourage us to hope and strive for more. Life is short. We don't know what will happen next so make the best out of it. Keep up the faith in Him. Remember that you are blessed and don't forget to be thankful always!

blah.blah.blah.

I woke up with a mild flu.. Nah.. it's not H1N1. Harhar. I have plans to meet some friends but due to my terrible condition, I have to cancel it. Hmm. it's raining. I love the rain so much. I love the cool wind that gently caresses my body. I love the sound of the raindrops that slowly brings me to my emo moments. Hihi. I have lots of things to do today. I don't know when and how to start. Haha. Im feeling a bit lazy. LOL. Does this post make any sense? :D

success..

Whenever I hear this word, I always ask myself " What is my definition for success?". I find it sometimes so complicated and hard to define. And here's a fact, I get confused whenever I come up to the realization that I've been struggling so hard to achieve success and the bad thing is, I don't even know what success means to me. I am aiming for success and since I can't define it, I won't be able to know if I've already reached success or not. Sounds really odd, isn't it? I asked a few friends of mine about their opinion regarding this matter and here are their answers:

Friend#1: Success is Contentment.
Friend#2: Success is the accumulation of all the positive things that are happening in your life.
Friend#3: Success is when you're already rich and you can have anything you want.
Friend#4: Success is achieving your goal w/o cheating.

I was really amazed the moment I heard their answers. It's not because they have these good-to-hear- answers but because they know exactly what they are pursuing in their lives. They know exactly when to say that they've already reached success.

After a couple of days of thinking and constructing my own definition of success, I've finally made a few ones and I was surprised to realize that I do have lots of hidden thoughts and ideas in my mind. Yihee! Well.. eherm.. Success, for me, is when you have achieved your goals and dreams and you are not the only one who benefits on it. Instead, you can share it to your family and friends. You use it to bless other people. In addition, success is reaching something that even though it's not really your goal, you'd still feel very happy about it because you know in your heart that it is His goal for you. We sometimes think that success is a very big thing with very big representations- money, fame etc. What we need to understand is that success is not merely about all these material and earthly things. Well, they can somehow represent it but it won't really give you the true essence of success.

How about you? What is your definition for success?
