“To deprive a person of education is to deprive him of the chance to lead a more meaningful life.”


Don’t discourage other people even if he is an educator or not, because he is a person and he is a human.

Failure results from sadness. Sadness comes from depression.


The best example I could share is from personal experience. I’m really passionate with what I am studying. I’m dedicated to finish a four-year course degree to get help me job that I want. But here comes my cousin who said I’ll just end up as a call center agent. Sure, it’s a decent job and people there earn lots of bucks. My cousin didn’t finish college and now she’s telling me I’ll end up in a call center like her? I should have been discouraged but I didn’t. So I took what she said and made her statement an inspiration to strive harder and do all the best I can.


When a person is looked down or deprived. His journey might end just as easy as that. Depriving people is like not giving them a chance; chance to succeed, chance to inspire other people, and chance to lead other people in a more meaningful life.

Make a Wish

Can we pretend that airplanes
in the night sky
like shooting stars?

I could really use a
wish right now,
wish right now,
wish right now.


AIRPLANES performed by BoB feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore and lyrics written by Bobby Simmons, Kinetics & One Love and Alex Da Kid is, in my opinion, one of the most creative and dramatic lyrics. I said, in my opinion.

I've been hearing these words --- eccentric and weird. Most of the time, the later. Eccentric is associated with people who are successful in businesses. Like Howard Hughes, Coco Chanel and Bill Gates. Oh he's a geek. Oh right. But not every successful businessman is weird though.

Almost all the time when I hear people describes another person as weird, they are often describing an artist. I couldn't even think an artist right now who isn't weird. Can you?

I adore that lyrics so much. Not a normal person could think of that. It takes courage to say that you'll just pretend that airplanes in the sky are stars just so can make a wish. It takes a very creative mind to think of airplanes are substitute for stars to make a wish. I just love it.

In Real Life

I don't have any idea what's happening to the world today.
What's happening to my life or my career, where is it going or where I'm heading.

Life sucks.
