Derek 101 : Take Change of Your Life

Don't be a passive bystander in your life! Get in the game the sooner the better.

Sometimes it can be easy to think that we have little to no control over what happens, but nothing could be farther from the truth. While others certainly have a say in things, you're in charge of the direction of your life. It begins by thinking about the sort of life you'd like yo live and making some decisions about your willingness to do what it takes to bring that about.

So the sky being the limit, dream your dreams, capture them in the way of goals. What do you want: good friends, good grades, playing sports, a good relationship with your mom and dad, a spectacular future? You can have these things. They begin with the choices you make, So, don't be passive: Even if your life seems hampered by obstacles and challenges, all these are but mere stepping stones to becoming stronger and more determined to create the life you want.

Believe that you can do it. Start shaping the direction of your life today.

Derek 101 : Little Things Matter

Probably we don't always know when the little things we do make a difference to others, but that doesn't make them any less important.

Has someone ever put an arm around you when you were afraid? Has someone smiled at you when you were feeling out of place? Has someone offered you a shoulder when your heart was broken? When a person is feeling sad or hurt, the loneliness of the moment can be eased by the kind word of a friend or the sincere smile of a stranger.

If we took the time to simply connect in the most effortless and uncomplicated ways, we could have an impact for the good on those fellow travelers we chance to encounter on this journey of life. Continue to do those little things that can make immeasurable differences in the souls of those you help.

Derek 101 : Learn from Difficult Experiences

If you've weathered a difficult time, look for the ways you've become stronger and wiser.

Have you ever broken off a friendship or relationship with a special someone and thought you'd never fall in love again? When the next special someone came along, didn't you learn that when love ends, the world doesn't? Didn't this knowledge make you stronger and wiser? Perhaps you thought you'd never be able to make new friends if your parents moved the family to a new city, only to find yourself in no time with a whole new set of friends at your new school.

Each difficult experience in our lives can help us become wiser. When faced with a new challenge, ask yourself, "What can I learn from this?" What new perspective has this situation given me?" Take the treasure of this new perspective and let it be a great consolation prize, turning what may once have looked like a loss into a winning "jackpot" in your life.

So start learning from your mistakes today..

Derek 101 : Happiness is the Best Success

Being happy with yourself is the starting point for being a successful human being. This is what I always see in life... "HAPPINESS"..

What is your definition of a successful human being? Is it the person who is really popular on campus -- the star of the football team or the head cheerleader? Perhaps you think it's the person who has the great friends, the one who everyone thinks is "a really nice person."

Or is your definition of a successful student is the one who always get good grades? Or is it the person who has all the right clothes and the coolest "things"? "NO" there are not! But it's good to think about your definition of success so that you'll know when you're experiencing it.

Success begins with being happy with yourself. Without this happiness, your success may feel empty. Do you know someone who seems to have many triumphs and victories are still unhappy with their life? The best success in life is always being a happy human being which also depends on being how happy you are with yourself. The happiest people don't bother about whether life is fair or not. They just concentrate on what they have.

We have lots of excuses always for postponing our happiness. Here a few:

Excuse #1: If I were somewhere else, I'd be happy
Usually, the best place to make a new start is where you are!

Excuse #2: If I were older--or--younger- I'd be happy!
It's not about your age, It's always about your attitude.

Excuse #3: When I meet the perfect partner I'll be happy!
In the real world, other people don't change our lives. We do it ourselves.

Excuse #4: If I didn't have these problems I'd be happy!
The fewer rules you have about how life ought to be, and how other people ought to
behave, the easier it is to be happy.

Excuse #5: If only I had that!
You will be happy with stuff only if you can be happy without stuff.

Excuse #6: I'll be happy when.....
The happiest people aren't waiting for anything to happen. They'll go looking for it.

HAPPINESS COMES FROM FEELING GOOD AS HAPPINESS IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT GOAL IN LIFE.

People always say. "When I get what I want, I'll be happy!" but they have it back to front.
Try looking at this way: WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY, YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT. Isn't it better?

Stay The Same

This song was stuck in my head since Monday after Karaoke session..

Hope things will stay the same as usual..

Let sing this together! ✰

Derek 101 : Be Good to Yourself

Life is complicated for almost everyone or should I say Everyone. We all will experience which will pain us, which will annoys us and which will challenges us all the time. We must each take care of ourselves in such times.

No one's life is without trial and tribulations. No one's life is stress-free. While the goal is to be proactive so as to minimize having to always live life under duress or the edge of chaos, we must make concessions for when such times set in. During those times when things are looking down and you're stressed to the max, be especially "Extra-xtra" good to yourself by resting and eating properly, and by releasing tension through exercise and relaxation should be good.

Always be patient with yourself. Talk with others about what's troubling you; getting something out in the open diffuses its power on you. Make a list of all that is good in your life. Allow your faith to comfort you. And lastly don't ever forget to be GOOD to yourself. ♥

Derek 101 : Use Your Words Wisely

Words are very powerful... While they may not break your bones but they can break your heart.

It's so important to remember the power of our words which are not to be taken lightly. A thoughtless remark has the potential to wound someone's heart. The momentary satisfaction you might find in venting cannot compare to the hurt feelings you could conflict.

On the other hand, your words also have the capacity to soothe, comfort, build up, support, guide and help others. They can inspire love, hope and faith. Be a person who use your words to heal and create good feelings.

So, why not start by saying something kind and helpful today!

Derek 101 : Get On with Life

It doesn't pay to waste time getting down on yourself; It's better to get on with life. Like they say, "Nothing is as far away as a minute ago!"

Are you normally down on yourself for losing out on something or having a lost time stuck in a rut? Will you get disappointed that you got off track or lost sight of your goals as such times? Have you ever been discouraged with a failure and felt as if you might as well just give up on a goal altogether? Certainly you and I want to be reflective and learn from all these experiences, Rite? But even so, do not dwell on the past for way too long.

Each day is an opportunity for a new beginning and that means TODAY. If you're off course, don't waste your time regretting, finding fault or looking for an excuse. It's not productive to do so, and you'll only end up getting even more down on yourself. Instead, pick yourself up, regroup and get in gear: Review your goals, "reset" your determination to accomplish them and then get it started again. ♥

Derek 101 : Keep Your Promises

★ Always keep the promises you make, It's how you learn to trust yourself. ★

If you make a promise, keep it. If you can't keep it, go tell the person you are not able to keep your promise and why. Your word means everything: It is an outward indicator of whether you are a person who has values like honesty and integrity, and an inner measure of your commitment to your "highest and best of you." Moreover, keeping your word is the single most important picture you will "snap" of yourself in life. So, make good on all the promises make by you. For it is important. ♥

Emo Random 2010

Sometimes I just feel lyk leaving this country and move on to other countries such as UK, Paris, Japan and probably Switzerland.. I had enough of this lousy ass place which I think it didn't change to be any better at all..

Neva.. Ever.. CHANGE.. Still the same ass place 10-15 years ago..

I had always wanted to start a new life in UK, get a job, earn a living and live a simple life there..
If can, I might just gonna stay there for the rest of my life... Build my career and then build a family over there.. Get myself a PR there.. Hmm* That sounds like a good good plan... But, I don't really know when can I do that.. TIME- Need to have a suitable timing to leave..

I've been asking myself :-

If only I've not been tied down to my job over here..
If only I've stick to my plan on leaving this country earlier..
If only I've the money to migrate..
If only I am not a soft hearted person..
If only I have the faith on myself..
If only I have a strong spirit in me..
If only I have the will power..
If only I had follow my heart earlier..

I would've been migrated to a better place now and starts myself a new life..

Anyway, this is still one of my goals.. I do hope that I can achieve this goal of mine as fast as possible.. Got to strive on... Hoorah*

Derek 101 : Let Go

Sometimes you have to pick up your heart and go on --- alone.

Have you ever had a friend who wasn't good for you, perhaps because he or she influenced you to do things, say things or be someone other than you know yourself to be? Have you ever be in love with a special someone but knew the relationship wasn't right for you? When things aren't right, you need to "let go" -- with love of course. Yes, I know this can be difficult to do, especially if your heart isn't quite yet ready to be without the other person. Even so, sometimes you have to pick up your heart and go home. You don't have to make the other person "wrong" or "bad" so that you seem justified in "letting go."

Let go because you know it's right for you and because you love and honor yourself enough to know this. Even if the other person doesn't want out of the relationship and asks why you are leaving, rather than saying, "Because you don't/ can't/ won't..." and so on, simply say, "I need to leave because this is not right for me." Letting go can be something you do as a way to love your own heart because by letting go, you hold it in the highest regard.

Derek 101 : You Are the Best You

★ You are you and that is who you are supposed to be. ★

There is only one of you. No one else in the world shares your fingerprints. No one else can experience the way your heart feels about things. No one can see through the lens you use to see life quite the same as you do. Be in awe of this individuality but accept it, too. Honor it. Praise it. Do not be quick to compromise it.

In you desire to fit in or make others happy, you may be tempted to pretend to be someone you are not. You may even pretend to believe things you don't really believe, or act in ways that are out of character with who you really are. When you do this, you lose out on the real you. As importantly, the world loses out on you too.

Strive to be healthy, happy and enlightened person and then, taking your place alongside your fellow travelers, offer this self to the waiting world. For that, it will only be the most distinctive contribution you can offer to yourself. ♥

Derek 101 : Life Is Good, Be Grateful!

★ Especially when you're feeling bad or facing a tough time, remember all the ways your life is good. ★

Sometimes it's difficult to see the good in your life when you're overwhelmed by stress, struggling with a problem or have a broken heart. Especially at those times, recall what is good and positive in your life. Doing this helps you feel that in spite of a hardship you're facing, all in all, your life is good and you are thriving and so you will vow to preserve through this challenge.

You are grateful for all that is good, and so hope takes over. Hope makes it possible for your strength to be renewed, your stamina to be restored and your spirit to be lifted. And here's even better news; Gratitude is an attitude! And so, the "remote" to tune it in and turn it up a notch is in YOUR hands. Make it your desire to be grateful and all else will seem possible. ♥

Happy 2010!!!
