What are words

If you really don’t mean them

When you say them

What are words

If they’re only for good times

Then they don’t

When it’s love

Yeah, you say them out loud

Those words, They never go away

They live on, even when we’re gone

What happens when you actually met a giant. I’m not talking about a real giant who beats you up or anything like that. I’m more of reffering to things which you face everyday like your assignments, your exams, your projects, works, or maybe just a competition that you joined in.

I know that some of us will feel very discouraged and dissapointed in our self that we just want to give it up all together. Thinking that the quality isn’t good enough and i just want to give it up and change my environment. Change schools, or teams in that matter.

As humans, for sure we like the things which we like. We won’t like things that we dislike right?

So the same goes to everything around us. If we like the environment, we stay. If we don’t, we complain and move on. That’s kinda what human nature it. We like staying in our comfort zone. Eventually we will have to move out of our comfort zone but for sure not exceeding it way too much. Not much people would like to take that action. Maybe most people not not that much of a risk taker.

Have you wanted to give up on something and just decided to move on?

I know that many of us struggle from self motivation in doing the things which we dislike. For example studying for some people.

Not many people likes studying. It’s a common thing nowadays in youth. If you enjoy studying very much then i salute you!! But for sure i think you will give up if it comes to sports right? So continue reading!

Doing the things which we like is sometimes very not motivating. I myself face the same problem last time. I’m just not that type who just studies all the time. All of us just need a little bit of motivations some times. So here i am trying to motivate any of you out there who needs it.

1. Giving our bestest!

Sometimes in our life, we just need to give our very best to something. To give all our energy and effort to make things work and successful. To commit all our time and ideas into it. To just give everything into it. I know people who just do things to their own sastifaction and not to others. Meaning if they just pass their exams is good enough. Or can just get a basic job with basic pay is good enough. Or just complete my task without any quality and on time is good enough.

I want to tell you this. That is always never enough!

I know that self motivation is very hard but I suggest we do it for others. For our parents who put us in school. For our teachers who teaches us wholeheartedly. For our friends and future spouses that we can support them. If you haveboyfriend/girlfriend, even much more you should do it for him/her. For financial security that we can have in the future. For everything that we do now will define our future eventually. Planting a tree now and let it grow and you will see its fruits. So start planting them now and do what you must now and then your future will be much more secured. Trust me! I’ve been there, done that. I’m just speaking from experience.

“The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The next best time is NOW!”, Keith Tay.

2 Chronicles 15:7 says “But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”

But sad to say, sometimes giving our bestest is only just enough.

This goes on to my 2nd point!

2. Put on the blindfold!

Yes, you heard me right! Put on a blind fold and continue your journey!

We as humans, we rely on touch and sense and once we reached our goal, we tend to stop. I’m no psycology student so do correct me if I’m wrong. I feel if we set a target, most of us that once we reached or have hit our target, we stop doing anything else. One of the reasons is that we are already rejoicing because we have hit the target or goal. Not many people will exceed that target/goal. Only a number of people that I know have this ability to exceed expectations beyond the target.

By putting on that blindfold, we won’t know if we hit our target or not and because we have no way of knowing this, we tend to go way beyond our capabilities and just keep on going until someone told us to stop or we have hit a brick wall. This way, most of the time we will exceed our targets and goals. Many of us usually give up because it hurts so much either physically or mentally. Sometimes we need to be determined in doing things so we can exceed expectations.

It may not be literally a blindfold put on us, but just a invisible blindfold. In other words, trust that you can exceed expectations.

There are lots of giants that we face in our life. Some may be facing struggles with their workplace or even their studies.

Go and click on this youtube link and watch the video clip and you will see what i mean by all that i have wrote.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vB59PkB0eQ

So finish yet watching the clip?

This clip is actually from a movie called “Facing the Giants”

See how at the start everyone is asked to do the “Death Crawl” for 10 yards and switch partners and back. Then soon afterwards, the team captain, “Brock” answered the coach that the opponent team is stronger than their team. He was practically giving up before even starting the match. As he was the most influencial man on the field to his team mates, how would his team mates feel?

For sure they will lose hope about winning the game with that answer right?

Then the coach literally put on a blind fold on Brock and ask him do the Death Crawl for 50 Yards. Brock gave his bestest ever in this. He continued doing the death crawl even though his muscles were already aching and burning. It hurts so bad that he almost wanted to give up. So let me be your coach right now. Don’t give up your journey even though you feel like its hurting so bad! Don’t quit on your parents who have sent you to school for your studies! Don’t let your teachers down for what they have teaching you is for your future! Just few more steps, and just keep on keeping on! Last but not least, don’t quit on yourselves.Just be a David and beat that Goliath down! Face your giants and conquer it with all you have got!

P/S This is not written for everyone. Certain people are borned determined and will have no problem exceeding expectations. We’re wonderfully and uniquely made afterall.

Mistakes.

What can we say about mistakes. Well, It’s actually very common in our daily routines. Ofcourse all of us will try not to make any mistakes whatsoever. Perfectionist try this to the extreme all the time, but they still make mistakes eventually. We’re humans afterall right?

What I can say about mistakes is don’t be afraid of making mistakes in life. I know some mistakes can be very huge and some may be very costly indeed, but actually all of your mistakes is what actually builds you up and prepare you in the future. We all learn as we go through life. And by learning new things, we go through trial and error.Nobody ever did anything on the first time perfectly. If you did, then bravo to you cause you’re supernatural! :P

Even the best inventors and scientist in the world make mistakes them self. But they continued on trying and trying and never gave up. Eventually they can perfect what they did in the past. And they did that with what? Mistakes! Yes, they all went through the same thing, which is mistakes.

Ofcourse, I’m not saying you should make mistakes all the time or deliberately make those mistakes. It’s just a process that we go through to perfect our skills and techniques in what we do. I’m not implying that we are free to make mistakes freely though, just saying that if we do make mistakes, don’t be discourage but continue doing it again and again through trial and error. Eventually it’ll be perfect!

Let’s say if we like baking or cooking. We won’t be the best ever cook or baker with the first try right?

This all requires time and effort to do. We won’t perfect this skill within an instant. We all go through trial and errors to perfect the recipe and the baking technique and so on. After a few tries, then the taste would be just right. Not too sweet and not too over do it with the flavour.

The same goes with any other skills like photography or drawing or painting or just driving. Everything requires trial and errors. As we spend time doing those things and making mistakes along the way, we get better at it. Eventually we can perfect that art. Then with all that we have learned, we can use that experience to teach others who don’t know how yet.

So go on and make mistakes! Go and make better mistakes tomorrow and make sure you learn from it and then you will be able to teach others on that. I make mistakes and use those mistakes to teach others. So go and inspire others now! =D

Yours Sincererest writer,

Yes, scars are sometimes permanent.

Things that has happened will always be there in the past and also in your memories.

What we must do is not dwell in the past but to move on with life. If we don’t this will just make the scars even bigger and much more painful than ever before. Keeping on moving in life is the key for us to forget and forgive the past and be a better person in the future.

What we do now in the present is what matters most. What has been done is already done and cannot be changed. So if you are still dwelling in the past that “i shouldn’t have done this or that” or “If i had that chance, I would have taken it that time” and so on.

We are humans after all. We make mistakes that sometimes we couldn’t forgive ourself for it. Nobody in this world is perfect, and that is a fact! Everyone makes mistakes, even Thomas Edison makes mistakes and things don’t work for him, but he never gave up.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”, Thomas A. Edison.

Decisions are sometimes very tough in life. Like who we choose to trust or who we think are good may eventually end up bad. Nobody ever said making decisions is easy. So that’s why we must be wise in making decisions.

Failure is not an option. Having a strong will and determination always brings something good to us. Even if we struggle to find things that work, we will eventually find it and it will be successful.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”, Thomas A. Edison.

Like Thomas Edison, he found thousands of ways and techniques which doesn’t work, but he is successful in inventing things which others never thought of. Why? Is because he never gave up. He always had hope, faith and love.

He had hope that it will work. And faith that he will find a way to make it work. And finally the love for it that made him never give up.

Key to all our struggles in life is to never ever give up. We may make mistakes that may hurt us so deep that it may seem impossible to stand back up. But remember this, we are surrounded by friends and God is with us all the time. They help pick us up when we are down. They’ll be our helper when we got knocked down.

Have you ever been in a situation where you promised someone something that you would give him or her in your life. Or maybe just something that you said to your loved ones when you were both together.

Sometimes we forget the little things like those promises. But honestly we should all remember them because it’s not only the big things that counts but the little one as well. Empty promises makes one dull so always fulfill those promises made.

Let me tell you a story.

The story of course is between 2 young couples. Both were deeply madly in love with each other. The boy said the the girl, i promise that even though until i die, i will still be with you no matter what. I promise i will write to you and keep you company forever and ever. This kind of promises usually don’t last that long. But in this case, it lasted for a lifetime. The boy knows that he doesn’t have much time to live much longer. Probably just a couple more years until his Leukemia gets to him.

The girl doesn’t know at all bout his conditions because he didn’t want to let her know and be worried about him too much. Few years has passed, and the boy passed away peacefully at his home. The memorial and funeral was held soon after and almost everyone he knew came and wept and pay their last respects to this young man. Not knowing what is going to happen next, the girl broke down in tears and mourn for days and days that the love of her life has passed away.

Little that she know, what had been prepared for her whole livelihood starting from the death of her beloved. Letters came each and every month on the 1st week of the month telling her what he had prepared for her. Asking her to travel to this very specific place and doing specific things. In every letter, contain either a bus or an air ticket for her to go to many different places exploring and having the life of her dreams.

He had prepared all her activities every month for a very long time. All the preparation and arrangements that he made with his aunts and uncles and cousins and also friends around actually helped him made that promise come true. Even after he has passed away, his legacy was still there. He was still beside her even though he has gone to heaven in eternal life. He was with her all this while.

Such promise is made and still fulfilled after his death shows how devoted he is to her. Shows how much he loved her even after he had passed.

So how did you did on your promises. Did you just forget those promises made after a few weeks. Or will you be a man or woman of your words that you will fulfill that promise you made to a friend or a love one no matter what it takes. Not even death can break that promise made.

Don’t take promises lightly my friends. Promises are not meant to be broken.
