Don't. Stop telling them that you will be there, It's better to tell them the truth up  front.

Say  it out or shut it. Don't go behind peoples backs. There is no reason to say  it to someone else if you can't tell it to the person what it's about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;If you really want something.

Make the best of it. There is  obviously nothing you can do, so whining and complaining isn't going to  do anything. There is a difference between expressing how you feel and  complaining. Put forth your best attitude and you just may get out of  the mess.. possibly with a different perspective.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;If you're  troubled. Take time to think about it. Nothing good ever comes out  of rash decisions. If it's important enough to trouble you then it's  important enough to think about.. Think deeply and you'll figure out something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;If  you are being taken advantage of. Let go. Get rid of all thoughts  of the person.

font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Have you ever thought about how you would like to be remembered?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you want your legacy to be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I thought about it before and would like to share some points about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it's fair to say that mostly people don't really like to think about such questions; perhaps none would like to think about their own death as there's no value in asking and answering such questions. Maybe some will believe that there are other more important things to focus on rather than this. No matter what the reasons are, it can serve a useful purpose from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Do you know that; by even starting to think about how you would like to be remembered after you're gone, you'll begin to consider how you want to live your life while you're still here. This thinking will actually reflects to us and generates a greater clarity about what's more important to you in the way you want to live your life. And by having more clarity, this will lead us to a better way towards creating and sustaining a successful and fulfilling life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;It's sad to see that many people go through their lives being unaware to what is more important to them and what they could consciously choose for themselves and not just wait for things to come. Well, imagine this, what if *touch wood* something happened to you, will this gonna become more obvious to you? Isn't this will make you pause and reflect on the bigger picture now? The fact is that we're all here only for a finite period of time and no one knows when  death will reach us. So rather than wasting anymore time being stuck in the "living dead" category, let's take charge and move forward with purpose and passion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;What I'm saying here is; don't postpone your life anymore. Don't wait anymore. Don't wait till you're dying to really start living. Wake up, your wake up call has arrived. *Snap* Come back and start living it.Well, you can just start  by committing in taking all the necessary steps so that you can live more in harmony with the vision you have for your life and your legacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;"Whatever you need to do and want to do, do it today. There are only (so many) tomorrows."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-3634852001490663444?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/3634852001490663444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/3634852001490663444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/10/have-you-ever.html' title='Have you ever?!'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-2038536182256914701</id><published>2010-10-10T01:00:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-10-14T04:41:33.195+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Day'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='10.10.10'/><title type='text'>A Special Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;"  &gt;10.10.10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;  A very special day it is..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It only happens once in a lifetime..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I would like to wish everyone a very happy 10.10.10 day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May this special day bring happiness to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span&gt;everyone &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Enjoy..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;:))&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-2038536182256914701?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/2038536182256914701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/2038536182256914701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/10/101010.html' title='A Special Day'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-1940322683214157964</id><published>2010-10-08T02:03:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-10-14T04:42:48.781+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='People'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>I wonder "WHY"..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div  style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;Sometimes I wonder, how good If I can read people's mind. lol. Guess not?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I can never tell what people are thinking and  feeling unless they tell me, and usually 80% of them would actually lie about it. I'll ask them, "whats  wrong?" and they would normally replied saying "Nothing" and "I'm fine." I sometimes accept this because its easier rather than  digging for the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People smile when they want to cry, they laugh  when they want to scream and shout. They can just pretend like there's nothing wrong  because deep down inside they don't want to face the truth. Things aren't always rainbows  and butterflies, sometimes you just gotta scream and cry your angers and  sadness to the world, because you can only hold it in for so long before  something in you snaps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So always remember; when you want to cry, cry.

I was really sadden by some problem occurred in my group. It's quite an issue to me and also to the rest of the groupie now. We was once a very happy and "no problem" at all group. We will just hangout and chill in a very large group of people. Although it's totally different now from being a large group to a lesser people group. It didn't matter much about the size really. But of cause the more the merrier.. Rite?! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, every individuals are different. Everyone have their own thinking with their own perception. This is who we are, each special individuals. Sure we all have our flaws, we all have our rough times, we all have heart breaks. But there's a time in your life when you really look into it, and realize that what you have, really doesn't need to be compared to others; It could be so much worse and people deal with it everyday in life, that is so much harder. I think for once, everyone should look past their selfish-ness, their emotions and all their complaining and just look into a brighter side, a side that teaches you that it could be worse whenever it could be. Just like the book of life says, "If it doesn't kill you, it is only making you stronger."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at us now.. We are all still in the twenties and we are young. Fine young lads that could possibly have anything and be anyone in life. I guess we should really do is to grow up and stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing words and stop caring so much on what other people think. It doesn't really matter cause the life that you live is always yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But have you ever wondered sometimes, by thinking of every possible way that you could have changed things, made things work and made things last? You spend your days waking up, thinking about it, going through the day thinking about it and going to bed thinking about it - hoping and praying that things will work out and slowly it will be slightly better and yet nothing lasts forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We go through our lives thinking about yesterday and not today. Sometimes we're in denial, heartache and regretting. We're young once and we're reckless and yet we're still alive. We all make mistakes, we lose people we love and that's just the way life works. Letting go isn't being weak or giving up but it is just growing up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I just wonder, why can't we be happy for just that moment. I hope that I can be happy in that one moment I don't think about my problems, I only think about all the options I have. I think about all the years ahead of me, think about all the awesome people I've met, Think about all the time that I can spend, about all the adventures, about the love and about all the places that we yet to discover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For that one moment I believe I will be happy, much more happier than to think of all the problems that we gonna faced, problems that never going to occur to us but we're the ones that going to create it. Can't we just think that happiness is somewhere out there. And put a hope in it to believe that happiness brings us joys and let us rejoice all together. I do believe and I have hope towards it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what happens, I just realized that we're all going to die, we just don't know when , don't know how, don't know where and we could just die at any moment now but yet we live our lives as if none of that is true. So just fcuk it alrite. Live as happy as possible and live like there's no tomorrow. Hell yeah! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

story to everyone and let them know exactly what is in my head or keeping it to myself. The problem is being outwardly unhappy and consistently so pushes people away, no matter if they say they're always there to listen, there is only so much your best friends can listen to. On the other hand, to pretend that everything is fine is to poison yourself from the inside out; it is to ignore who you are and lose yourself. So which is better? To have friends that think you are melodramatic, seeking attention and pessimistic or to drown in your own mind?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-6327017782672605770?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/6327017782672605770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/6327017782672605770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/09/tell-or-not-to-tell.html' title='Tell or not to tell?!'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-9058245238769936689</id><published>2010-09-29T10:28:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T15:32:44.628+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Self-Motivation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>Randomly me..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I always believe in myself- the vision of my future keep my dreams alive despite the challenges along the way. I always told myself not to be afraid of changes, grow and learn as I go. Whatever it is, we always move ahead with confidence and always reach forward not backwards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Should always look forward to challenge the impossible and risk oneself to the limits as opportunities are just endless. Never quit until you win as we all have greatness within us. We just got to nurture it with Hope and Passion and there will be nothing we can't do. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I know there are maybe times when things aren't the way we hope it to be and we feel like just giving up. Always tell yourself to "NEVER QUIT". When things go wrong as they sometimes will, when the funds are low and the debts are high and when you want to smile but you have to sigh. -- Rest if you must but don't back down and don't you quit.. You can never tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems far. Just stick to the fight even when you're hit to the hardest and always remember that you really mustn't QUIT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Be positive always to not giving up so easily even before you try. Nothing is really over until you stop trying. Remember never say it's impossible even the word "IMPOSSIBLE" says "I.M.POSSIBLE". So, nothing can really stop us from being positive. I had a lot of ups and downs throughout my life so does each and every human being in the whole wide World. But come to think of it, we just have to always confront and transform all these obstacles into opportunities. Always believe in working hard towards our future and take a step at a time to reach the goals. Do what works best for you and be hopeful as you embrace each moment. My happiness is in my own hands.... for if I keep staying positive, I BELIEVE I can make my dream come true.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Rest assured, I always follow my heart. What I do with my life is my own choice. How I decide to live my life and achieve my goals is always up to me. I'm the key decision maker of my own life. Always be confident and have a strong sense of purpose. I'm doing my best to work extremely hard towards my goals. I never consider the idea of failing. Erm* Maybe at times. lolx.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;But most of all, I know who am I and I understand my weakness as well as my strong points. I won't be afraid to be a little different. What I do is; I just follow my heart to the path of my dreams. You may then find that what seem so difficult has just been made RIGHT. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So, dare to fail and dare to dream. Opportunities are in our hands. Have faith in yourself and always believe that one day you can and will surely achieve. Keep your dreams alive; reach out and take hold of today!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-9058245238769936689?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/9058245238769936689'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/9058245238769936689'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-always-believe-in-myself-vision-of-my.html' title='Randomly me..'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-8162874295577376018</id><published>2010-09-28T10:54:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T15:29:52.995+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life Quotes and Sayings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>YOU are "YOU"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I've always wonder...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nearly all rich and powerful people are not notably talented, educated, charming or good-looking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This people become rich and powerful by wanting to be rich and powerful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vision of where or who you want to be is the greatest asset you have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without having a GOAL it's difficult to score.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, ask yourself; why do we want to strive for excellence? Is this really important to us?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If yes, how good do you want to be then?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Quite good&lt;br /&gt;- Good&lt;br /&gt;- Very Good&lt;br /&gt;- Best&lt;br /&gt;- The Very Best&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, have you noticed how the cleverest people at school are not those who make it in life? (Which is very true rite.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As long as the goal is there, there is no limit to anyone's achievement. So be it, if you are the top achiever in school, if you don't have goals, clear goals in mine. I can say , 80% of you wouldn't succeed. (Just part of my theory)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've heard a lot of people telling me that, I'll do this and I'll do that if I had the chance. Enough with the "What If".. Stop thinking about it. Whatever it is.. just don't look for the next opportunity. The one you have in hand is the opportunity... We are always waiting for the perfect thing to come. But it almost never happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me give you an example on this; You're probably working on a project or assignment right now and saying, "This is nothing important and let's just deal with it and get it over with. We'll make the next one good." Whatever you are doing right now, that's the one. Make it the best you possibly can. It may not be great, but at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you did the best you possibly could and you may learn something from it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opportunities are everywhere. Don't look so far ahead first, it is just the reach of your hands in front of you. So grab it while it's still there. Like what Author Paul Arden said; "It's not how good you are, It's how good you want to be". If you don't have plans and do not have goals, whatever opportunities comes, you will end up losing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always remember this; there's no one night success. People fail, Powerful and Rich people fail before too. 'You fail, and fail again' It doesn't matter. The person who doesn't make mistakes is unlikely to make anything. Benjamin Franklin have had 10,000 ideas that didn't work. But did he failed? Yes. But just look at him, he made history. Isn't he famous? Yes, very famous indeed. Benjamin Franklin understood one theory which he believes that failures and false starts are a precondition of success. Failure was a major contributor to its success. So, in another word, you just got to fail before you succeed. "Learn from your MISTAKES, eventually you'll play your cards right after that".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, Success is going from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. You just got to keep the fire in you fired up and whatever it is, you got to draw the line somewhere too. Right? It's always better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation. So, strive on y'all. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-8162874295577376018?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/8162874295577376018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/8162874295577376018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/09/you-are-you.html' title='YOU are &quot;YOU&quot;'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-6915454280255704824</id><published>2010-09-27T14:32:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T15:28:32.358+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life Quotes and Sayings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Random'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>How Poor People Live</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;I read this great short story I received via email few days ago. Perhaps this story will give us a more refreshing perspective on how brilliant life truly is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;One day the father of a rich family took his young son on a business trip to the countryside purpose of showing him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night at the farm of a very poor family.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;His son replied. "Very good, Dad"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"Yeah," the son quickly replied.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;The father then asked, "And what did you learn?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;The son answered, "I saw that we only have one dog at home and they have four. We have a pool that only reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the moon and all the stars. Our patio only reaches to the front yard, they have the whole horizon."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;When the boy was finished, his father was speechless. His son added, "Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it true it all depends on the way you look things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life.. you've got everything! You can't buy any of these things. You can have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc. etc. But if you are poor of spirit, then you have absolutely nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-6915454280255704824?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/6915454280255704824'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/6915454280255704824'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-poor-people-live.html' title='How Poor People Live'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-1811680324579077570</id><published>2010-09-26T14:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T15:33:17.246+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>"What If"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So what if...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Your favorite football team lost again and this time was at the hands of a more lowly ranked opposition... so what?

Imagine that. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-1811680324579077570?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/1811680324579077570'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/1811680324579077570'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-if.html' title='&quot;What If&quot;'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-823460319917460205</id><published>2010-09-24T02:26:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-10-13T02:30:54.205+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Something'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='E-mail'/><title type='text'>Simple Letters</title><content type='html'>&lt;div  style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;My friend forwarded this to me, check this out;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;LIFE - 4 simple letters, yet so complicated &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;LOVE - 4 simple letters, yet so confusing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;DESTINY - 7 simple letters, yet so unpredictable &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;FEELINGS - 8 simple letters, yet so unexplainable &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;WORDS - 5 simple letters, yet there aren't enough to express &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;REGRETS - 6 simple letters, yet they never seem to disappear &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;SILENCE - 7 simple letters, yet it can be so loud &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;TIME - 4 simple letters, yet there is never enough &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;SADNESS - 7 simple letters, yet it lingers everywhere &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;PAIN - 4 simple letters, yet it takes so long to heal &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;MISTAKES- 8 simple letters, yet they can never be erased &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;BEAUTY - 6 simple letters, yet so hard to see &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ain't this true.. xD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-823460319917460205?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/823460319917460205'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/823460319917460205'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-friend-forwarded-this-to-me-check.html' title='Simple Letters'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-2972941369847701920</id><published>2010-09-21T01:32:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-10-03T02:18:16.814+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>The person I am..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;My life is passing by too fast to enjoy it I guess..

Stop thinking already! Just tell that voice to "Shut the fcuk up and listen for a while!" You should know who I mean, right? He is the voice with all the answers. The voice that knows everything, the voice that has an opinion on everything and is never wrong! He is the voice you are listening to right now. Can you hear him? Yes It's your inner voice. And I would like to call him as Mr. Inneryuh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Inneryuh is the voice in your head. He never ever shuts up and you can hear him all the time. Your relationship with him is unique and personal. He's your closest friend, your constant guide and sometimes your worst enemy. He has been educated by you and also taken lessons from whoever or whatever that had been appeared in your life; family, friends, colleagues, relatives, partner, television, Internet, radio, newspapers, movies, books and etc. His one and only, but extremely influential skill is to constantly regurgitate information he has received.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Inneryuh may speak loudly and decisively but he has no set of opinions, values and morals. However, he directs your knowledge, your fears, your desires, your passions and your opinions to be used always as his training. We always describe him as our thinking or something related to it. Mr. Inneryuh is always available to learn new stuff, as you grows he grows and when you have the opportunity to change his education, you'll change what he says to you. I guess we have to spent all of our life to develop Mr. Inneryuh and part of it should be good and some part of it should be not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a saying that states, "If you continue to do what you have always done, you will continue to be who you have always been!" And "If you continue to think in the way you have always thought, you will continue to feel as you have always felt." In order to change the way you feel, you need to change the way you think. This means, we need to start re-educate Mr. Inneryuh and your life might never be the same again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-7007838885023331870?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/7007838885023331870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/7007838885023331870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/09/stop.html' title='STOP...'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-2553112609100549080</id><published>2010-09-10T00:31:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-10T01:50:04.997+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Goals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>Setting GOALs</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Goals are important! I guess everyone knows that to be true. There would hardly be a single person over the age of 5, anywhere on this planet, who has not set at least one goal. I have set thousand of goals!

The truth is, setting a goal and failing to achieve it, is not necessarily a failure at all. Instead by actually having a goal is truly a great start. But first we need to define our goals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;In defining each goal...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;To know what you want.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;To know when you want it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;To describe why you want it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Have a basic idea of how you are going to reach the goal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;After defining it, write all the details of your goal on a card.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Read the card over and over again, many times each day, until your goal has been realized.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Do it for a day and when you get to the end of the day, decide to do it for another day.

It's not gender specific, it applies to men and women alike.

or friend. there is always someone who is a better son, sibling, friend or leader. i know i have my own mission in this life. i know that no matter what people say, think or feel about me that i have a purpose. a calling or a divine nature. i am not perfect, great or even good for that matter, but in the end i am who I am. a man that desire much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span

class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;While you are reading this, I just want you to think back when you were in high school or after leaving high school. What type of personality did you have? What kind of person you are? Are you a better person or worse? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 29px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 29px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;I've been wondering about this lately because I remember having so much energy and enthusiasm. I remember feeling like I could do anything. However, I have to note some good changes about me that have come with maturity. I guess I am more mellow now and I feel like part of my terrible temper is gone. I am more comfortable with myself and able to control myself better against negativity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 29px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 29px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;And now, I have decided to stick on being as mellow as possible and as happy I can. I'm enjoying being that now. I enjoy learning how to be a better person, a better son, brother and friend everyday. But I just need to do more. I'm working out on having a better positive outlook as well. I want to work more on my enthusiasm for life and to shine forth my personality. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 29px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 29px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;So, my hope is that I can work on these outlooks and really start to enjoy my life with great passion and enthusiasm. But most of all, I got to be HAPPY about it.

style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;I've been waiting to get myself inked for quite some time since the last one (ermm* ages ago). But could not really decide if I really want to do it again without regretting it myself later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, getting inked is expensive first of all and secondly, it's a permanent thing that is gonna be on your body. Third, must really-really be affirmative and sure on what to tattoo on your body. If not, you'll gonna pay more for tattoo removal after that. Haha. No kidding. And lastly, no regrets of doing it cos getting inked is just like inflicting pain to your body parts during the entire process. And best part is the pain is kinda addictive. *What the hell rite. (Crazy me) lolx.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Yup. Back to the topic of getting inked, even if i've decided to go ahead with the idea, i might have to find something perfect to be inked to my body. haa. even so, which part of the body shall it be.. You guess?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Most probably getting inked on September after my B'day.

I have missed you every  waking day &amp;amp; my heart still hurts, but I'm getting better. I  continue to smile &amp;amp; still go on without you. I know I have missed  you, but I have kept it all inside of me, only for me to know. I still  wonder about your doings, how you are, what you're doing, what we used  to talk about, to the laugh in your voice. Just, everything. I miss it  all. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;However, I feel that the parting of us was for the best, because  everything happens for a reason. Should destiny put us into a crossing  road in the future, that is when I will see you again. Until then,  remember this; No matter what, even through the screaming fights, the  disagreements, mistakes &amp;amp; the tears we've cried; though I saw this  as a possible outcome, I took the risk &amp;amp; gave you my all. Never,  ever, did I give up on you. Do not give up on yourself. Believe.  Anything is possible. And if you ever need a helping hand, do not  hesitate to ask. I may be far away, but I will always be in reach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;Love you forever.

I somewhat enjoy the only "ME" time now. I guess we all do need some alone time sometimes. I do really treasure the time spent with myself nowadays, going out to the mall, having a good cup of hot chocolate and a good read of me books. Or even, enjoy a movie at home on a lazy couch noming on some chips or popcorns. Mmm-mmm*. There's actually a lot to do with ourself; we can do gardening, clean up rooms or closets or some other hobbies that we enjoy doing it. For me, reading a book is part of me hobby.

The men who made all you see when you look around possible, they were fools. But they made a difference. Fools make a difference. I want to make a difference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;I want one day, for children to look in history books across the world, see my picture, and say "See that man? He made a difference. He made the world a better place. He was a dreamer. He was a fool. ANd I want to be just like him."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;So, call me a fool, because I swing for the fence. But know this. Its men like me, that people like you can even have a reality to hold on to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;So, be a realist. See the world for what it really is. I'll handle the history for you, while you sit and mock in the background, at this fool...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-3507812201493080459?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/3507812201493080459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/3507812201493080459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/03/be-realist.html' title='Be A &quot;REALIST&quot;'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-1379033669186184742</id><published>2010-02-28T04:32:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-05T23:29:01.695+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>Things in LIFE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;As I've grown, I've come to realized and learned several things.. The things in LIFE~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That life is always full of disappointments and people you trusted will sooner or later let you down.&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that often those you love will love someone else and there's only one way to fall; fall fast and fall hard.&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that out of thousands of smiles, it takes one to touch your heart.&lt;br /&gt;I've found that words can be deceiving, but the truth always lies in a person's eyes.&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that everything can change in the blink of an eye and tears often come without invitation.&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that crying can make us stronger and there is never too much love to go around.&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that prejudice helps no one and that weapons don't hurt people, it is just the people who hurt people.&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that sticks and stones may leave cuts and bruises but harsh words leave the scars.&lt;br /&gt;I've found that every time you give someone a piece of your heart, it's a piece that you will never get back.&lt;br /&gt;I've learned the past is meant to be put behind us and we can't dwell on regrets, for what's done is done.&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that trusting yourself is the first step and that forgiving is the second.&lt;br /&gt;I've found that family isn't always about blood and everyone is always someone's hero.&lt;br /&gt;I've learned life is unexpected and that GOD can do anything. Really ANYTHING~&lt;br /&gt;I've learned some things aren't meant to be understood and that only time heals.&lt;br /&gt;I've found that imagination is our greatest gift and that we are meant to dream for a reason.&lt;br /&gt;I've learned it is never too late to fall in love and that being "beautiful" is all on the inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mistakes are our best teachers and everything happens, it happens for a reason. Only then can you live life to it's full and true potential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Live life to the fullest cause Life's always like that~ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="UIStory_Message"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;♥&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-1379033669186184742?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/1379033669186184742'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/1379033669186184742'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/02/things-in-life.html' title='Things in LIFE'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-1544229317081359468</id><published>2010-02-25T19:55:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-03-03T12:36:25.810+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>WHATYA WANT FROM ME</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;There might have been a time &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;When I would give myself away &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Oooh once upon a time I didn't give a damn &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;But now, here we are so whataya want from me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Whataya want from me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Random hook ups starts to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;You go through the same emotions and questions over and over again, and talk about it with your peeps and it is about the same topics everytime because you cannot seem to make a decision.

Nothing happens by chance or by mean of good luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness &amp;amp; sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without this small test, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe &amp;amp; comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;The people that you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls gives you experience, help to create who you are and who you will become; even the bad experiences are learned from. In fact, they are the most poignant ones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love &amp;amp; how to open your heart &amp;amp; eyes to things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Make everyday count. Appreciate every moment &amp;amp; take from those moments everything you could possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before &amp;amp; actually listen... Let yourself fall in love again, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Tell yourself that you are a great individual &amp;amp; believe in yourself. For if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. You can make your life anything you wish... Create your own life &amp;amp; then go all out &amp;amp; live it with absolutely NO REGRETS. Most importantly, if you love someone tell him or her, for you NEVER know what tomorrow may have in store. And lastly, learn a lesson in life each day you live, Live HIGH.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday..

Don't be afraid to take chances and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.    ♥&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-746473441262999608?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/746473441262999608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/746473441262999608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/02/life-dont-be-aftaid-to-take-chances.html' title='Life: Don&apos;t be aftaid to take chances! ♥'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-1122281550742801760</id><published>2010-02-01T20:22:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-06T00:30:10.548+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life Quotes and Sayings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Random'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>0102 | 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;div  style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;It's 0102 | 2010.. Such a coincidence~! So I would like to share things I've learned in life:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that something that you do in an instant, can give you heartache for life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words, it may be that last time you see them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that either you control your attitude, or it controls you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you are down, will be the one who helps you get  up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that sometimes when i am angry i have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them too, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you learned from them, and less to do with how many years you have lived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others, but sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that just because two people argue, doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret, it may change your life forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that sometimes the people that you love most in life, are taken from you too soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that you can't make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved, and the rest is up to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just won't care back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and just seconds to destroy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that it's not what you have in life, but who you have that counts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that you can keep going, long after you think you can't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that their are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that even when you feel you have no more to give, a friend cries out and you find the strength to help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned that our backgrounds and circumstances may have influenced our lives, but we are responsible for who we become&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life's unpredictable. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it had to be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-1122281550742801760?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/1122281550742801760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/1122281550742801760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/02/0102-2010.html' title='0102 | 2010'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-1676916125320623239</id><published>2010-01-28T12:00:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-28T12:06:20.966+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Derek 101'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>Derek 101 : Take Change of Your Life</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Don't be a passive bystander in your life!

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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Believe that you can do it.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So start learning from your mistakes today..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Derek 101&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-1718125309460190678?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/1718125309460190678'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/1718125309460190678'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/01/derek-101-learn-from-difficult.html' title='Derek 101 : Learn from Difficult Experiences'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645311396611932544.post-4213512027698396341</id><published>2010-01-25T10:22:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-06T00:35:41.159+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Derek 101'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discovering Me'/><title type='text'>Derek 101 : Happiness is the Best Success</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Being happy with yourself is the starting point for being a successful human being. This is what I always see in life... "HAPPINESS"..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;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."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;We have lots of excuses always for postponing our happiness.

We must each take care of ourselves in such times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;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.

Like they say, "Nothing is as far away as a minute ago!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Each day is an opportunity for a new beginning and that means TODAY.

Instead, pick yourself up, regroup and get in gear: Review your goals, "reset" your determination to accomplish them and then get it started again.&lt;/span&gt; ♥&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Derek 101&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1645311396611932544-5450381858522108387?l=derek-mylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/5450381858522108387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1645311396611932544/posts/default/5450381858522108387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://derek-mylife.blogspot.com/2010/01/derek-101-get-on-with-life.html' title='Derek 101 : Get On with Life'/><author><name>Derek, CMj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08673751719056652311</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vf_p375IaII/TH9LXLILJzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/vFlV9Dic0UY/S220/Picture+024+(2).jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
