Rejection

    We have always heard about rejections and not being accepted whether it's a job, or any other opportunity where a group of people are brought together to make one shine out the brightest. However, what we did not know is the feelings we get when we are rejected. If we made it through, did we really know what the other who did not make it through feel like? I don't really think so, the beauty of rejection is when you want something really bad, so bad you start to ache from the rejection you got, that is when you start to really work for it. That is when you do not stop like others, that is when you decide fuel yourself with that rejection and start to move forward and give it another try. I have come to learn that when you face set backs and obstacles, that is when you really know you wanted something really bad more than anything. Because you want it so bad, you start to get started on looking again and on working harder than you have the time before.

    The beauty of it comes in you believing that you have a better chance to come, maybe it will be the next, maybe it will be after several trials and attempts, you never really know until you reach for it. Will you be rejected, and you will be criticized, but it is only the smart and persistent that really fuel up with that and move stronger than before to what they want.

    It's part of life's race. Those who fall down and put in the effort to get back up, and those who want to give up because they are running out of energy, that is the beauty of this race. 

There's a lot of people, but not so much that reach the end, their goals and desires.

Post it on the Internet

This way was expected decades ago.

People in the past feared its approach, but people living in its generation have no idea what is going on.

Several years ago, people feared the day technology will steal away a heartfelt conversation, and undoubtedly a loved one.

They used to pray for avoidance of this time, some are already gone, while others were perked to live in the most undesired generation.

"It's like living with the dead", some of them say. You go out for lunch with your friends and the first thing they want to do is take a picture of the restaurant's logo, then upload it on the internet. Next, they want to take a picture of all you together in what is called a "selfie" and also post in on the internet. Then things start to calm down and technology is put aside until the appetizers are placed in the middle of the table. Again, they take a picture of it and sometimes of them eating it and post it on the internet. Things start to calm down again with technology put aside while you enjoy the appetizer together.

"Phew, finally.", you think and start a decent conversation and enjoy the talks with your friends until the main courses start to roll onto the table and your dishes become this afternoon's person of interest and leading models.

"Why bother," you start to think to yourself and enjoy the meal on your own.

When you go home, you start to reminisce over the good old days, when a one hour lunch  break would extend to a two-three hour lunch break with laughs, talks and fun moments. Now, there is nothing like that anymore, it's all centered around "let me show them what I'm doing."

People do not enjoy a day out in the park without "showing them what they are doing.", they do not even enjoy a 45 minute yoga session before posting something online to "let them know that I'm doing Yoga tonight."

No wonder our ancestors feared this day, how did they know it was going to come?

The put in a little effort and made a study to conclude that.

Fearing the day when technology steals our loved ones away, and fearing the time where you decide to write a diary and look for a stranger to speak to hoping your language and vocabulary will not fade away with time.

Why?

How did we become slaves to technology?

It is not a bad thing to work hand-in-hand with it, but it sure is bad to live a life with technology alone and forget the world.

Wake up, before its too late.

The Beauty of Life

     There will be times when you suddenly start to experience moments you never thought you would. You remember seeing them in movies and wonder what it feels like to be in their shoes, little did you know that life will grant that thought of yours and make it a reality.

     Looks and expressions speak louder than words, but what makes them special is the fact that you understand those expressions from your perspective and not from theirs. Maybe they steal a glimpse of you for a reason other than the one you think you know of. What makes you feel helpless is your persistence to not cross the line and find yourself doing what you shouldn’t, but all that you can do is let them know of what life has grown into you. Sometimes you can not do what your heart desires, yet all you have left is the simplicity of words and the huge impact they can hold. It takes  a lot of effort to control yourself, from this experience you get to learn that you really have grown into a good person. Now that is not to brag about, that is for you to praise yourself for what you have become. It is because you grew into learning what was right from what was wrong, and because you were raised that way. Of course it all started with your parents, if you don't have them around, then it's one of them. The least you can do when you grew into the person you are right now is appreciate the effort and time they spent on you, to make you who you are right now.

     This is the beauty of life, it is then that you start to feel the beautiful sensation of being a grown up. Seeing what it is like to be on the outside, a place that is not so peaceful like home, a place that is filled with masked people, a place that is filled with experiences that will help you become a better person and more importantly help you grow.

     Again, this is the beauty of life, being able to sit back and watch the world spin around you. Watch the people do what they want to do, and have yourself learn from what is wrong and praise what is right and keep it.

     That is the beauty of life indeed.

There Is No Difference

    Over time, you come to learn that it is not all about how old you are or what position you are holding at the moment. It's all about what you grew up doing and how you were initially taught in life. How you were raised and on what basis, sometimes I sit back and think about being in someone else's shoes. Although I wouldn't trade my pair of shoes for anyone else's but I usually tend to sit in a public place and watch all those different minds wandering around maybe with a life goal or just carelessly. I have been blessed with a wonderful life all thanks to my mother, and I came to learn to appreciate everything and thank god for everything so sometimes I watch people and wonder. 

    If you consider age as an example, then life have brought be across a lot of grown up people that have experience life more than I have, but sadly they do not seem to be thinking right or even for the least, "logically".

    If you consider the level of education, then that is no exception at all. It is true that the more you learn, the more you know and the better you understand. However, if you start to look at it partially from a different perspective, some people who have not received the gift of education turned out to be more life survivors than people who have been blessed with the best education. They happen to understand and help others from life, they taught me that not everything in life is in books. Sometimes you do not need books to live, you actually should not believe that in order to live you have to study, no it's actually the other way around. In order to live life the way it should be lived, you need to study if you get the chance, if you do not get the chance then you need to live life with morally and ethically. A lot of literate people have taught us what life is all about without reading about it in books, a lot have changed the world without knowing how to read a book, and a lot have positively impacted the human race without knowing to write a word. In the end it is all a matter of acceptance, appreciation of anything you have, and faith in god.

    It doesn't matter what you do for a living, or what level of education you have completed, just know that all of this is useless if you start to live with no goals and start to treat people like they work for you. Just remember that in the end we will all fall into the same place and we all have the same parents down in history, also do not forget that in the end we are all literally the same. There is no difference between us, all of us are humans, all of us were put in this life test for a reason, and all of us will meet again when our time is over here.

They Were Right

    Growing up, we were living with the thoughts that everything is really easy to do, it just needed a little courage from our side to achieve. However, little did we know about what it really took for all the elders around us to make life seem so simple and easy. Little did we know about the time they spent finding the easy solution for us, the most enjoyable one for us to understand, and the simplest act for us to stand up and talk... little did we really know indeed. They spent most of their time, usually days working on a project for us to dissolve it from that huge complicated one to the tiny one we saw was very easy to do. We thought when we grew up, we would easily find our way on our own, we would easily make it through, little did we know, indeed.

    It finally is true, what they used to say, once you grow up you will thank me, once you grow up you will learn and know what it takes. All it needed was to grow up, and we finally did, and what conclusion did we fall into: "They were right."

    If there's anything you want to be, anything you want to do, or anything you want to get, you will definitely have to work day and night to get to it, some say you have to give up sleep to get to where you want. Are they right? Is that true? Damn right it is.

    They used to make fun of all the dreams and ambitions you have, most of the time we heard people say "Dreams? They never come true.". Some people say they don't, other believe they do, but have they witnessed dreams come true? That, I am not sure about, but one thing's definite and for sure : I have seem dreams come true right before my very own eyes.  After that being witnessed, I had faith in dreams even more, because at some point if I crave my path towards my dreams, I will make them happen, and that is definite.

    Don't just sit there and dream all you want, sit there and dream all you want and work your way to get there, take that step that will be the breaking point between your courage and hesitance, and one day you will look back and pat yourself on the back for being courageous at least once in your life so far.
