True friends are a sure refuge

"In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a
sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old
they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the
prime of life they incite to noble deeds."

-- Aristotle



It's true that you will find out if who are your true and real friends during difficult times and hour of troubles. Some will ignore you, but there are also others who will lift you up during your down moments. It is also during difficult times that you will discover if who among your friends are matured and ready enough to face difficult situation with you, and it is also sad to find out that some of your most treasured friend are the one who will deny you in your most down moments.
But that is life, take it.

Leave on the world a mark that will tell you exist

"A youth becomes a man when the marks he wants to leave on the
world have nothing to do with tires."

-- Unknown



The measure for being a man is the ability to make and leave something that could benefit and help others. Some are man in their words, in their appearance, and in their act. But the real man is the one that can create his words into action and transform it into reality.

Having the spirit to persist

"The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow.
This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who
is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the
guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no
matter what happens."

-- Arnold Schwarzenegger


Bits for Moving up..

It is easy and exciting to start anything you want to establish, but when we get to the tough point, that we are tired of pursuing, it seems like what we have started is impossible to achieved. But wait, don't quit because what you think that is hard and tough is almost done, it will only need little effort to finish and accomplish, all you need to have now is the spirit to continue whatever it takes. What you need to win is the spirit that is ready to face anything.

Education is a wonderful thing

"Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your
name you'd have to pay cash."

-- Rita Mae Brown


They've said that education enables man to live without money, and on the opposite, money enables man to survive without education. It clearly identifies that education is more essential than anything that cash can buy.

Think about where you want to be

"Instead of thinking about where you are, think about where
you want to be. It takes twenty years of hard work to become
an overnight success."

-- Diana Rankin



Dreaming and aspiring to become what you've dreamed needs a lot of courage, persistence, and inspiration. Dream will not be materialized in short period or in one single setting, it requires hard work and continues motivation to obtain and make a dream into reality. Don't just think of where you want to be, but plan and work on how you would be.

There are only two kinds of people

"There are only two kinds of people who are really
fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people
who know absolutely nothing."

-- Oscar Wilde



The truth is, in reality no one knows everything. But this quote want to imply that being knowledgeable and no knowledge is captivating. It is really impressing to see someone who almost knows everything, and on the opposite fun to see someone who knows nothing. But whatever capabilities we have, it is the gift that we have received from the provider, and we must propagate and share it. Don't laugh to those who are not capable, let us be thankful for what God had given us. 

The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own

"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide
your problems are your own. You don't blame them on your
mother, the ecology, or the President. You realize that you
control your own destiny."

-- Albert Ellis



Our practice was to point a culprit every time that there are problems or mistakes, it is very seldom that we have the guts to accept and recognize that the problem was belong to us or came from us. We always point our finger to others and blame them, not noticing that several fingers of yours was pointing on yourself. But kidding aside, do we notice that while we point other, cowardliness was develop in ourselves. It is because we are afraid to face and accept the reality of ourself, that our instant practice was to point other every time that there are mistakes. If we are afraid to accept mistakes, then process of development and improvement is not with us.

If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation

"If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next
generation, it would be the ability for each individual to
learn to laugh at himself."

-- Charles Schulz


Opportunity is not always available. One of the most important thing to propagate in a person is learning how to appreciate and be contented of himself, it takes sometimes for others to notice and appreciate what you posses, but don't  wait for that time and situation. Cherish every moment you have, thank yourself for whatever performance you have done. You will live happily once you feel you're important.
