The Drivers of Life (inspired by Tuesdays with Morrie)

           The Meaning of Life. These are very simple words if you hear it or read it but once you open a discussion about this you will find a hard time in discussing this, in giving its true meaning and in understanding everything that have connection to these words because these words are somewhat general and too broad in discussing and you’ll need to take this seriously because this word what we call “Life” needs a wider explanation and deeper understanding.                          Every book has its own uniqueness. The way the author delivers the story, the formation and usage of words, the story itself, etc. but this book is much more different from the other books. In reading this book, many readers were inspired and learned to open their mind to reality where everyone is striving to live in a fruitful life. Millions of readers were inspired and were touche...

Why Can't We Buy Time?

Image
   Time is passing. The Earth keeps on revolving until you will realized why is it a day passed so fast. Why we can't hold it on? Why there is only 24 hours in a day? Could we extend our time?    I have many bestfriends and one of them is Czarina. She told me about what she asked to her father that "Why can' we buy time?" The question came out to her mind because things keep on coming to us and we needed to work it on and finish it before the deadline. A deadline to pass or finish the job given to us.    Deadline is not just given in the things we needed to work on but you and me have also a deadline. We have a TIME LIMIT. Our life is just limited. Many people already died without being ready but do you think, You can be ready for your death? The most percentage of the answer is no. Why? Because of they don't want to leave their loved ones and some people didn't yet find their true happiness to be contented in life.    Time is v...

Are You Unfaithful?

Image
   Are you inlove? or Did you already fall inlove?    There are different kinds of love. These are Storge - "affection", Philia - "friendship", Eros - "romance" and lastly the unconditional love - Agape. When we talked about love it does not mean to romantic love because there are love that we express for our God.    Offering our life with God means that we have great Faith to our God. We might have different god but the center of all of this is the Faith we have to our own God. Faith is not given to everyone but when you have it you are lucky. This faith is a gift sent from our God, your God and not everyone has it or receive it so we must be very thankful for having it.    Do you still practicing your faith? Some people don't practice their faith because of what had happened to them - a situation that they feel they were so hopeless and they don't feel the presence of someone else to comfort them. In some cases, they are too busy ...

YOU - The Exceptional

Image
   Different people do have different religions and beliefs. We differ from each other or other country with their own cultures. Every group in this society has uniqueness on their own culture but in the eyes of our Creator, we are equal and treated fairly.    We may have different religions but these religions must not be the hindrance of forming relationship between others. In today's world, we all need unity to form, develop and improve our society, our country, our city, our family and then the next is our own self.    Discrimination between us must be avoided because everyone has an equal chance to enjoy their life. You and I have a chance to exercise our rights as a child, as a teenager, as an adult, in short, as a human. We have feelings too. We are hurt when someone slap us or someone says bad thing about us. We are hurt physically and emotionally. We also feel extreme happiness when we are with our loved ones, we achieve what we want and w...

Fatherhood

Image
       Marriage is not just a love contract but it is a sacred ceremony between two persons who are inlove with each other. This is not a serious topic to talk about because in marriage it involves of having a FAMILY.        Being a Father of the family is not an easy job. For all we know the father is the one who is working so hard to support his family.  You cannot easily know if the man you are seeing now is a great father. You will only know it if you already know the story of his life whether he became the best father or not in his family. Being the best father is not easy because nobody is perfect and everyone commit mistakes but the good thing is you have learned the lessons.    There were early marriage or the couple was not yet ready to have a family but they already did something wrong. Being a young father is so difficult. Based on the different stories I have read, I have watched and heard, in...

Start on Believing. Keep on Dreaming

Image
Everyone has a dream not just one dream but too many to mention of the dreams we wanted to achieve. First, why we have dreams? We are dreaming for our future. And exactly, that future we are looking forward is just waiting for us. Waiting for us to what are the things are we going to do and what we are going to be. Many lives has sprouted from the womb of their mother and keep on growing until they see the light of the future.  We are dreaming not just for ourself but also for our family, friends or loved ones. We all planned what we are going to do for the next upcoming years because it is the way we want to be and we want to live. A future that no one can't tell what we are waiting and what we are going to be. But while dreaming it is like achieving your dreams little by little. I wanted to say that these dreams will cannot be achieve without actions. Dreaming itself is a nonsense when you are not doing something to achieve it. Work hard for your dreams and let us see, somed...

The Key to Success

 "If you are not willing to risk the usual you will have to settle for the ordinary.” - Jim Rohn If you want to be a successful businessman, you must always take the risk. That's the truth! Reading some stories of great businessmen on how they became successful in life was that they know how to take risk and also they have great discipline in themselves in the sense that they know how to manage their own money very well. It is really inspiring on reading their stories because on behalf of many problems they already experienced they still remained standing and they keep on going pursuing on their dreams.  You will observed that not all successful person today only experienced success on their whole life . They experienced and faced many problems and from that problems they learned to be strong and and to stand again from the strong typhoon that they have encountered.  Risking something to achieve success is not just for the business but also in love. You w...

Grade Conscious

Inspired from the movie that I had watched. "Three Idiots" "It is not about the grades but it is about what you have learned."  This is more likely about the students. Our professor said to us that it is difficult to be a grade conscious student because you will be focusing on your grades only and not on the things to be learned. It is more likely (for most of the students) that in order to earn high grades you will memorize everything then after the exam you will forgot everything because you only memorized it and not study it with understanding. Students must learn how to study with deep understanding to all the lessons that will be tackled in school. Let us look at the broader side. We people experiencing different situation in our life. We also have problems but those problems should be solved not just to solve it but to avoid on having that problem again. It only tells that from those problems we had experienced, we should learn from it so if anoth...

The Mother's Hand

Image
   Yes.. We do exist. We are living and enjoying everything here on Earth, it is because of our dear MOTHER. "A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie."  ~ Tenneva Jordan A quotation that tells us that mothers can easily sacrifice everything for their children. Mothers are exceptionally kind and loveable. They are always there to guide us on our way and help us when we have problems. They became the biggest part of life even some people didn't experience living with their mother but still they came from their mother's womb. Some of us experienced that our first teacher was our mother. Our mother taught us the values of being a good child. They taught us to be tough in times of sorrow. They taught us share to people who needs us. And lastly, they taught us to love others. We were molded to have good behaviors, attitudes, values and characteristics. You are what ...

Be the Best Driver

Image
You are the driver of your own life. You are the one who holds the key of your LIFE.     Your life depends on you, on how you will direct it.    You can be the best driver of your life. You can have a fruitful life everyday but again it only depends on you. In life, there is also a traffic rules. The first one is the right used of traffic lights. The orange light symbolizes that you must always get ready for anything that will happen to you. No one can predict the exact thing that will happen to you tomorrow, only God knows. Then when you see the green light, you must go on to the journey of life. It all starts there. You might not know what will happen on the way but if you have a sense of purpose for your life, you also have sense of direction. A direction or the right way to pass through. A direction that you know that it will bring you to success. And the last color, the red light. It only means that for every journey we will be facing different ...

Life is a Race

Image
   Everything is in competition now - in school, in business, in government, in work, in love and etc. It is like we are competed for something that we wanted to achieve but in achieving this thing we need to work on it and put our best effort on doing it. And now, our life is in a race every time we wanted to achieve something. Our main goal is to reach the finish line and get the price which is our dream. But if we are in doubt or we do not have faith in our self in achieving this thing, everything will be wasted or will be get trampled.     Competition. It is one factor in not fulfilling our dreams and goals because we are surrounded by different people who are also a part of the game of life but if we already learned to face the challenges we can already go ahead from the starting point until the finish line. Everyone must be a competent player of his/her life. If you already hear the signal which is the sound of the whistle, make sure you are already r...
