Ability

Is there a limit to a person's ability? I don't know if there is but I believe there is no limit to one's ability. I believe that one can always improve no matter how good they've become. One might reach a point where they feel that they have reached their limit of improvement but I believe these barriers can be broken. I believe these barriers are just created by the one's mind. With will and determination to improve, I believe they will be able to always continue improving.

Even though I think ability can always improve but I believe people have their own talented ability that they're special in. It's not they can stretch out further but it's that they can improve easier and faster. One who does not work on their talent might still lose to people without talent but work much harder than them. In other words, "Hard work can beat talent but hard work can not beat hard work with talent," that's what I'm trying to say.

Now, one's ability relates very closely to confidence. Confidence must always exist with your ability. One's ability will higher when you are filled with confidence. On the other hand, if you have no confidence or very low confidence, your ability will be lower than your normal ability. That's the reason confidence is one of my motto.

Now, one can never be confident at all times and events. At these times I believe what one should do is keep motivating yourself and act confident. I believe I don't need to say more on the motivating yourself. Acting confident can affect your own psychology and create a little more confidence in yourself. It will also affect other people and cause other people to feel that your ability is increased.

Another important thing is motivation. One will need motivation to work hard and motivation to be confident. There are many ways to give motivation. In my case, 1 of my always used motivation way is self praising. For me, this way of motivation really works. I don't know if it will work on everyone but I guess it's one option you can try. Well, it's the only way I know.

In conclusion, I believe one should always work hard but concentrate more on your talented aspect and also always try to be confident. Even if you can't be, act like you are. Lastly we should also keep motivating ourselves. That's it for this post.

Alright, how can my post contain a mere normal tag? 1 post shouldn't have 2 different topics either. All these tags are created by people. Why do they create them? For me, it's quite a waste of time unless I can think of a really interesting tag. Tags like this 1 is quite pointless for me. Making it is a waste of time, how about doing it? It's quite a waste of time as well I guess. Why do I do it then? The reason is I can manipulate the tag to write about things. I say it's a waste of time for me but it might not be a waste of time for others. If one gets satisfaction or have interest in creating or doing tags then it wouldn't be a waste of time anymore.

Lets take a look at question no.5, How many things in the past do you regret? Everyone surely will do things that they'll regret on. People who can live a life with no regrets are people who are living quite a great life. People who can do that are not people who are lucky and do nothing that they can regret on. They are people who can take everything with no regrets. I am not capable of doing such thing.

Now, lets take a look at question no.22. Has anyone close to you ever passed away? Death is an unavoidable thing. Everyone faces it one day. The person close to me that passed away is my grandfather. He was a really kind man. I was right beside him as he left us. It was really saddening but thinking about it after that, it might not be a bad thing actually. Who knows he's much happier after death? Then again, which is worse? Dying or seeing people you love die? I believe most people choose to die rather than seeing people die. Do they ever think, wouldn't people suffer more if they die for people? Well, I can't really say much on this as there's too much I do not know.

Lastly lets take a look at question no.27. Do you ever wish you were famous? I have always wanted to be famous. Of course I want to be famous in a good way and not a bad way. Bad way as in a stupid person, a criminal or anything similar. Good way as in all positive things. I believe that I am capable enough to be famous. My super high self-confidence is already a great aspect of mine that can make me famous. Confidence will boost one's ability very much. That's all.

Y U Blog

This post will be very long. If first part is boring, please read on as it will get better after the 1st part. Alright. Mike said my blog is like a reality check blog and then Bryan and Wei Yeen said my blog makes them think. Besides that, Jerrard also said my posts motivates him. I guess my posts are on the right track then. The very reason I created this blog was to share my thinking. It can be to motivate people, make people think about their lives or even make people realize something they did not know about their lives.

My blog is like talking about people in general but the truth is it's not. It is mainly talking about high school students. In fact, it's actually mainly about me and everything that revolves around me. Maybe you will realize my blog doesn't really have pictures. Maybe just by having a picture or two and make the blog much more interesting but I don't think I'll do it. Try reading a philosophy book, motivational book or other serious books. I don't think they have pictures right? Why do I need it then? Same goes for my blog layout. I'm writing serious stuffs. Don't compare my blog to those diary blog man. They make it fancy, it's their problem. I'm making my blog simple and professional.

Alright, as I've written up there, my blog is about high school students. As students reach high school, they are reaching the part of life where you grow most both mentally and physically. Things will also change in high school. Teacher's treatment different, friends' treatment also different, parents treatment also, studies level also will be different and even yourself will change.

I've written in my 'life?' post saying that I believe everyone has their own destiny and everything is destined. It is a destiny that I'm writing this blog and people read my blog. Whether or not it helps in any way, it's still destiny. In my mistakes post I've written that there are mistake we must make sure we do not do. If you listen to my advice, it's a destiny that you listen. That is what I believe.

Everything will change in time even though we ourselves stays the same. Everything seem to be changing a lot since I've came to form 4. Things seem to have been constantly changing since I've came to form 4. Changes can be good but can also be bad. Many things have changed in a good way. Even so, of course there can't be no bad changes at all.

Actually many things have changed according to how I want it to change. I wished to be acknowledged and it seem I'm kind of acknowledged now. I wish to have posts. I'm the membership director of the Interact Club. I wished my class to be mixing around more. It appears to be quite well now. One should be really happy when things change like this but then life can never be so perfect.

There's a reason behind the writing of my every post. I don't simply think of something to write. Every post of mine is written in accordance to what I did, what happened to me, what I feel, what I want to do and also things about people around me. just early this month I wrote the post 'mistakes'. Obviously I did a bad mistake. Just this 1 mistake can make a seemingly perfect life become a screwed up life. That's why I say never make any mistakes like this.

Maybe you will realize all my posts lately are all emo like posts. And very obviously, I am emo-ing while writing the posts. Although a lot of my posts are serious but it is only lately that my posts became emo. Emo-ness can definitely be hidden but then it's really though to do it. At these times is when my motto has a bit of a problem. It's quite hard to chill. It can be done, it's just hard. Self-confidence is also hard to have. The spirit to do anything will just be lost when things like this happen.

When anything goes wrong or has trouble I usually keep telling myself that I'm smart, I'm capable and I'll be able to solve anything. In special cases though it won't do any good. There are just things that even a super genius can't fix. As I said, the spirit to do anything will just be lost when things like that happen that's why a capable person might be not so capable for some time when something like that happen.

Everyone's life just have their own road and have their own paths to be chosen. Every decision should be considered wisely before doing. I already said, just 1 mistake can be very bad. I've also explain how it can be bad. Actually I wrote 1 quarter of this post on Tuesday and continued and finish it today. Finally I have a day with enough time to finish this post. Alright, I'll just end this post with 1 more sentence. Choose your paths wisely and carefully.

What is a man?

What is a man? I believe everyone has their own definition of a 'man'. Just a day ago, my English teacher, Miss Cheryl said that her definition of a man is a person who is strong enough to cry. I think that she definitely have a point in what she said.

I mean, how many people can actually cry? Some can't even cry behind other people. Of course I think a man should be able to cry in front of others. Many so called 'manly' people think that crying shows that they're weak and they don't want to show it no matter what.

Well, I have my own definition of man. I feel that a man should have 2 characteristics. 1, a man should have the courage to stand up and stand firm to protect. 2, a man should have the courage to let go some of his pride for a purpose. For example, to protect again. At times we might need to let go our pride in order to be able to protect something.

I also believe that one should not hold his pride so high in front of his loved ones. I think we should let out our soft side to our loved ones instead of trying to be all high and mighty. I also believe that a man is only a man if the characteristics is true. One who tries to act strong I believe is not manly. I believe it is one's true characteristics that should be used to define whether he is a man or not.

Well, lastly I would say we should just be ourselves. Whether one is a man or not is not really that important. Everyone is special. We have our own special characteristics. If our characteristics isn't manly, let it be. But then I would say don't be a wimp at the very least. Even though we don't need to be a man I believe that we shouldn't be a wimp. That's it.

Success

What is success? In my opinion, success is when one has achieved what was aimed for. Everyone has different aim so everyone have a different success. Everyone wants to succeed, everyone wants to be successful. Even so, people who do succeed is far below people who want to. Why? What they think is what they want to succeed in. They don't think how.

I think that what we must have to succeed is my two motto of life. To chill and to have self-confidence. In the process of achieving success problems are unavoidable. We must be able to chill in those times. One has to be confidence in oneself at all times. With confidence, one's ability will increase. If one is like thinking he/she will fail, the probability of him/her failing is like very very high.

Now, lets go on to after succeeding. Actually why do people want to succeed? I would think it's so that they can be happy after succeeding. At least that's for me. So is it enough to succeed? Would we be happy just by succeeding? Of course it's not enough. Even though you've succeeded everything you aimed for, became what you've always wanted if you have just one thing that makes you unhappy, you still won't be happy.

Here leads back to 2 posts back. There are just mistake we can't afford to make. Making those mistakes would make our success mean nothing. So basically, chill, have self-confidence and think properly before doing anything. Only by doing that can you achieve a success with meaning. That's all.

Growth

As time passes as things happens people tend to grow. People grow physically and mentally as well. The physical growth I think almost everyone knows. People who reach puberty will have this and that, people who reach adultery will have this and that, people who reach old age will have reverse growth and this and that. It's not my point so I won't really say on that.

Mental growth. The growth differs among people. When it grows, how much it grows and how it grows it's all different. It can happen due to just the maturity of the brain. It can also happen due to events that happened in one's life. One more reason I know is due to the existence of certain things or people in one's life. Whether there is more reasons to the growth or not, I don't know.

Sometimes just a single event can totally change someone. One event is enough to make someone into a better or worse person. These events won't happen often in one's life. These events will be like memories of the person's lifetime.

Things or people that come into one's life can also really change a person. A person lack of confidence might be able to gain them for example. It might also make a person work towards a change or even just change without even knowing it. People will definitely grow in time. It's just whether how, when and why.

So, just flow with these time and events and change. For the better or for the worse it depends on the person, not the events. How you change depends on your base character. If it's good, you're good. If it's bad, you're bad. That's it

Mistakes

Everyone does mistakes. That's an undeniable fact. It's totally fine to do mistakes but then not all mistakes are fine. Certain mistakes if done can destroy your whole life. Of course those mistakes are really really serious. There are mistakes that might cause you to lose something or maybe someone important to you. Could be an item, your family, your friend, anything.

It is very important that we must be aware to not make those mistakes. If you make those mistakes, you'll really have to pay the price. The suffering you have to endure can be really bad. That's why people always say think before you act.

Now, what if you have already made the mistake? There are certain mistakes that can be fixed and there are those that can't. For those you can, you should definitely do everything you can to fix it. For those you can't, well, I don't know. I guess just leave it to time would be the only thing you can do. That's it.

07/07/07

The number of post in my blog like getting less and less now. Why is it so? Is it because I ran out of ideologies? Is it because I'm getting lazy to blog? Is it because I'm too busy to blog? Well, no. I actually have plenty of ideologies I can write, I'm not that lazy and I'm not that busy either. Then why? It's just I don't really have the mood to blog. As you know I was emo-ing lately.

07/07/07. I was rather busy on this day. Morning I went marching, then afternoon rock climbing and at night Rotarian Installation Dinner. The rock climbing was kind of fun. I don't have any pictures of this rock climbing I can post up but then I have some old climbing photos I took in camp 5.

I didn't took any photo in the dinner either. The whole day I was rushing here and there but I would say the day is not bad at all.

Under usual circumstances I would say it's a great day. It's not that something happened on that day. It's just something haunting my mind. No matter how great a day can be, just 1 problem can make the great day not great anymore. That is what I realized on 07/07/07. The 2 feelings will just clash and both will be felt. That's it.

Problems(No.3)

It's really been a while since I've blogged. Man, my post are all quite emo already ar. In 1 of my previous post I mentioned that I wonder why people get emo. In the end I myself got emo. Emo I guess it's kind of normal. Even when someone looks happy on the outside he might be emo-ing in his heart.

In my 1st problems post I mentioned that we should try to solve our problems instead of avoiding it. Even so, there are some problems that we might be incapable of solving. So, maybe I was wrong. Maybe we should actually avoid them sometimes. If a problem can't be solved no matter what you do, I think we should just try to avoid it so at least you might feel better.

What's the best way to forget your emo-ness? I don't know. I only know 1 way. Try to be as hyper as possible. Even if it doesn't work, it might work to at least cover it. Rather than being an emo and have your friends worry and all, try to be hyper. Ups and downs are just parts of our lives. The ups or downs may be higher or lower sometimes but without them, it ain't life. We just gotta learn to enjoy the ups and live with the downs.
