everything matters

They have to show up on time and they have to work until it's time. There is another word for this and it is called "Responsibility."

-Francis Kong

i just stumbled upon this line when i happen to read Francis Kong's Business Matters. it really makes sense. he really makes sense. all are making sense to me now. responsibilities are responsibilites. no one could ever make it for you. act on it. realize their worth...

best gift ever

"The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read."

-Abraham Lincoln

nothing to react about. just find this statement amazing coz the same applies to me.

knowing more

"You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird...So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing--that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something."

-Richard Feynman

gaining knowledge

2008-05-14T02:35:00.000-07:00

"To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge."

-Benjamin Disraeli

the person who knows that he is not knowledgeable enough is by far knowledgeable than those people who says they know everything.

when your mind is set that you know everything, your tendency is not to welcome new knowledge anymore. however, when you thirst for knowledge, your opening doors for more. feed your thirst and you'll gain more.

setting the mind

2008-05-14T02:30:00.000-07:00

"They can because they think they can."

-Virgil

it's all in the mind. trust me.

meeting old age

2008-05-14T02:23:00.000-07:00

"Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does--except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place."

-Abigail Van Buren

everything will purely depend on you.

on reaping success

2008-05-13T00:38:00.000-07:00

"The fisherman who is afraid to risk his bait will never catch a fish.

The farmer who refuses to take his seed corn to the field for fear of losing a few grains on the way will never reap harvest."

-American Baptist

to gain success, one must risk something. in every success you will be achieving, one thing must be set free as a payment. so don't cry over losing something that is valuable to you because what it would become is a more precious gift.

don't just sit there. no matter how long you would be sitting there, time can never give you the success you are wishing. dare to make a move...and see the difference.

there's still time

2008-05-09T02:48:00.000-07:00

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.”

-Albert Einstein

everything will happen at its most accustomed time. sooner or later, you'll realize that things had rightfully came at the right time. you will!

knowing thyself

2008-05-09T02:37:00.000-07:00

“Only the shallow know themselves.”

-Oscar Wilde

self-explanatory. who could ever say that he knows himself fully?

grow up

2008-05-09T02:20:00.000-07:00

"As you grow old, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, its also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it."

-Morrie on Tuesdays with Morrie (Mitch Albom)

aging is not a thing to be feared of. it does not just mean getting wrinkles on our faces and dealing with our weak bodies. aging is a situation to look forward to. you may wish to go back to your younger age yet you would never wish to be that age forever as it would mean only a stagnant life--no additional knowledge. it should be noted that as we sail through life, there are lessons. the year that is added to us is equivalent to new learnings. still, growing old and growing up are two different concepts.

nothing will never turn into something

2008-05-09T01:51:00.000-07:00

“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.”

-Leo F. Buscaglia

indeed it is true. you will never succeed without doing something. you will never learn out of doing nothing.

don't be afraid of the consequences of doing something. at least, in the end you will be expecting something whereas when you invested nothing, you won't gain anything.

i hope this makes sense. live and learn.
