Pride and Courage

Sometimes I wonder, if I can let go my pride, ditch the ego and have a tad bit more courage than now, I could have achieved so many things in life.

You know sometimes when you have the dire need to do something so badly, yet your pride, or maybe somewhere within you is confusing you with negative thoughts, pulling your back from implementing your action?

That's a sign of failure.

It has come to a point where I just realized the utmost need to step up, be less arrogant and more receptive towards people and things, be brave and courageous, and do whatever I like, or at least when I know I should be doing it.

Mark Twain once said;

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover


Yes. It's time to leave the comfort zone. and;

Explore.

Dream.

Holiday So Far..

Hola!

Now that I'm supposed to be having the time of my life, which isn't exactly the real picture, my holiday has been nothing but bland so far.

But it's all good, I will be relieved from the studying stress for quite sometime, and I ought to be glad :D At least it will last until the day before the results are to be released.

So, I picked up a job this holiday. It's a simple job, with a minuscule pay, sometimes boring, but I find it rather flexible and relaxing. I'm working at a tuition center, and I don't think i have a specific word to describe my job position, probably more like a slave, or something less tiring than that.

Basically, I do everything my boss asked me to do, from baby sitting kids, to photocopying and even catching cockroaches WTF?? I'm not complaining though, it's a pretty simple job with no stress at all, and you get to play with those cute little kids. Did I mention some are like seriously adorable with their chubby cheeks and innocent smiles! How I wish I could revert my life back to those times, where nothing matters, except only eat, sleep, play. Bah. Moving on.

All my previous job experiences are mostly sales related anyway, where I have to utilize my pathetic persuasive skills almost all the time to boost my revenue, and when it's money related, stress jumps in without a doubt.

Ok la, enough ramblings, babye. I shall go pinch more of those cute little faces tomorrow =D
