How to Be a Good Boyfriend

Just like being good at your job requires training and effort, so does being a good boyfriend. Don't expect it to come naturally. Every relationship is different, and there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach, so this article will focus on principles that most people would agree are good relationship-builders.

Steps1. Be honest. In a mature relationship, honesty is the best policy. It may be difficult, but the truth will allow relationships to breathe. No matter what happens, no one can ever challenge the fact that you are truthful, which might mean that the other person also gives you the same respect.

If something doesn't suit them let them know, otherwise they will not trust your opinion. But make it sound like a compliment. Suggest an alternative, and attach praise to the alternative. For example, if they ask you if you like something they are trying on (trying on, not already wearing at a party!) let them know that it might work, but you think the blue one is your favourite so far because it shows off their great (insert a feature you appreciate, preferably not one that they are self-conscious about). It's not going to be easy to be honest and kind at the same time, so focus on learning how to give a feedback sandwich nd you'll both be better off.

2. Don't brush them off.

People often find it exasperating when they get the feeling their partner treats them as an inferior in a relationship. Women are no exception. A lot of people have been taught that the only way to get attention when their partner is trying to ignore them is to act more emotional and be louder until the partner finally surrenders and pays attention to her, even if in annoyance. If people feel they're being given the cold treatment by people who are supposed to be important to them, they get worried.

Especially when it happens without you giving an explanation for why this disturbance has occurred. People aren't mind readers. Your mate is not likely to be able to guess that you're cranky just because they wouldn't let you do something that they felt was very trivial, whereas you found it important. If you know that your mood might lead you to overreact, simply say "I'm feeling really irritated right now. Can we talk about this later after I cool off a bit?" (Don't forget to follow through and actually give her your time later.)

3. Communicate.

Do not talk their ear off, however make sure that if you have any problems that will affect your mood, they are made aware of the reasons for your problems and mood, so that you do not appear to merely be a fickle and cranky creature. Zone out everything around you when you're talking to them. If you ask them a question, ask them because you really want to know.

For example, ask them what type of movies they enjoy, or about one of her favourites. If you know it, talk about it a little bit in an honest way, what you thought of it, and make a guess at why they might have liked it. Even if you are wrong, your mate will usually
love the fact that you are interested enough to try. Remember, the opposite of talking is not waiting, it's listening. Make sure you're actually listening, not just waiting for your turn to talk. Put off a vibe that tells them that they can tell you anything. Make them feel safe.

4. Give gifts as a surprise.

Anyone can buy a gift for a birthday, Christmas or an anniversary. Listen to them when you are out window shopping, and if there is something they like, and it's within your price range, remember it and surprise them with it when they least expect it, for no reason at all. Or pick something up on your way home from work, and tell them you were thinking of them when you saw it. It doesn't have to be big or expensive--a book you know they will like, or a CD of their favourite band are nice gestures.

5. Mix things up.

Go to a new restaurant, try a new nightclub or go to a new part of town. Even if you both end up hating it, it's an experience you can share and that's what it's all about isn't it? Creating memories together. Surprise them by doing something offbeat--think less maudlin and more personal. This includes anything from racing them to your walking destination, dancing without music, or even bringing them a tub of LEGO and encouraging their immediate use.

You two should grow to be comfortable with each other, and do things together without self-consciousness. Ideally, they should never feel stupid around you for wanting or doing a particular thing. Step out of your comfort zone. Sometimes, in order to get things going, you need to be the one to step out of the comfort zone.

6. Compliment them sincerely.

Find something particular and compliment them on it, but mean it. Don't just say, "You look nice". Say "That really makes your eyes flash", "Your hair cut really suits the shape of your face" or "That makes me want to Kiss your neck" ...and then kiss their neck! The more specific you are, the more unique and appreciative the compliment.

7. Let your partner be.
Just because she is your significant other, doesn't mean she is yours, implying any kind of ownership. You can't keep this person all to yourself. You might get jealous if they talk to someone else, but if you trust them and are good to them, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If their actions do make you feel uncomfortable, sit down and talk, again using noviolet communication. Same goes for how they dress and look.

They may not always feel like spending an hour plucking, tweezing, clipping this, applying that. Make sure they know they can relax and be themselves with you. Don't make them feel like they always have to look like a celestial being. If they're letting themselves go, so to speak, bring it up in a gentle and helpful way, like "What ever happened to your red lipstick? You have gorgeous lips, and I love it when you highlight them once in a while. It looks amazing."

8. Take care of yourself. Don't be needy or dependent. Nothing scares someone away faster than someone they constantly need to remind to do laundry, t, or get to ake a shower work on time. Be hygienic and neat, set goals, and work hard. You can't be a good boyfriend if you're not a good person.

Tips

· Keep in mind: the road will be difficult. As in any healthy relationship, you will have your share of conflicts, some tiny, some big. Remember to be true to yourself, and try to abandon any significant selfishness. A relationship is a matter of team work.

· Treat them like you normally do around your friends or else they will feel like you're embarrassed to date her.

· If she doesn't want to talk about something right away then just drop the subject. She will tell you when she is ready.

· Look in her eyes and ask if something is wrong, she will say no most of the time and (only if you KNOW something IS wrong) kiss her and then say, "Tell me the truth (insert name here)..."

Warnings

· If your partner sees you doing something that can be easily misinterpreted in a bad way, don't say "this isn't what you think" or "this isn't what it looks like". Hold her hand (they will pull away) then look them in the eye and tell them you love them, and that they are the only one for you, and it really wasn't what it looked like, then explain.

· Never cheat. It remains perfectly understandable that you'll have wandering eyes, but realize where your heart is and stick to that. One time will be enough to convince someone to dump you.

· Never hold their family's actions against them. No one can help what their family does or says. You can share with them that it bothers you what someone might have done or said but leave it alone after that.

· Never tell them about something you almost did for them and then ended up not doing for whatever reason. Like saying 'I thought about getting you this gift, but changed my mind' or 'I was going to take the day off work to spend it with you and then decided it was a bad idea'. They will not think you were thoughtful, they will think you decided they weren't worth it. This is worse than an oblivious boyfriend, because it shows you know how to be romantic and what to do, but don't find them valuable enough. These thoughts are definitely best kept to yourself.

· Don't embarrass them. Most people get embarrassed if you talk about undergarments and things like that. Remember, those sorts of things may be attractive to you, but to them they may be something they don't want to talk about. On the same idea, never tell a funny story about them without her consent, especially if they try to stop, you DO NOT CONTINUE. This will hurt their feelings, as it shows impressing your friends and making them laugh is more important to you than them not having to feel stupid.

· Don't be too clingy. She wants her personal space just as much as you do. If she wants to hang out with her friends, or do something other than hanging out with you, let her.

" Heroes Among Us "

A few years ago, I saw one---a hero, I mean. It wasn't at the movie theater or on a televesion screen. She wore no "S" on her white shirt, just a small red heart, no cape on her back, but her bravery was still very visible to me. She was not tall, or physically strong as the world portrays all heroes to be.

She didn't fly or disappear and didn't seem aware of her "hero status," Nevertheless, she is indeed a hero and certainly thought very brave by those who love her.Entering the elevator at the hospital. I noticed a little girl next to me.

Immediately recognized her smooth hair growing beautifully from what was probably her last medical therapy. It looked like she had won some battles, but still yet to win the war.As the mother of a little girl my heart was immediately drawn to her. Quietly I watched her and noticed a cell phone next to her ear. She was softly crying, and the tears stains on her cheeks showed she had been weeping for awhile. I heard what sounded like a male voice on the other end of the phone.

Though I couldn't hear the conversation, this little one repeated the same words over and over, "Because I don't feel good."I gathered her daddy was asking her why she was crying. Her words pierced my heart. Most would be in their mother's arms being cradled closely. Not this little hero. Though her tears were telling a story, she stood very proud and tough.That's what happens when you look death straight in the eyes, or when you have endured more pain than most will suffer their whole lives. That's what happens when you keep fighthing though the odds are against you and when the struggle for life is greater that the power of death.Suddenly, my problems looked microscopic.

What I have gone through along with what I have yet to experience would probably not equal what this little one has suffered. Though her face will probably make it to the 7 o'clock news or the front of bread and cheeze, it will never leave my mind.

God let me see her at that moment for a reason:

She wanted her plight to rescue me from my pain and disappointments and, perhaps, even my despair. She succeeded---just as any true "superhero" would.In her words of encouragement to her dad (yes, she was telling her daddy that everything was goin to be all right)--sprinkled with both tears and laughther--was a mountain of courage, the strenght of a giant, and the heart of a lion. In her smile she showed her refusal to give up the fight. And she made it as beautiful person as she is now!

Sometimes we look for heroes in all the wrong places. Let Jesus be your heavenly Hero, but look for insperation in places you least expected to find it, like in the strong fighting stance of a very sick but joyful little girl on an elevator in middle of the afternoon.One of the best ways we can grow in compassion is through simple acts of kindness.

Look into spending a morning or afternoon in volunteer service at a local hospital, charity work institutions, in your neighboor villages,or another compassionate ministry in your hometown. Never questioned why some people choose to be alone and sacrificed their personal needs and happiness out of helping people.

We don't have idea how difficult they went though in life. Instead, be thankful that there are still like them willing to help people in their on little way. We may not know what life ahead of us. They are probably sent by God to set good examples and serves as an inspiration for those who still struggling, and unsure about real life happiness.


Real happiness does not depend only on having someone in your life. The greatest happiness can be found in any forms, just like the happiness I feel in my heart when I can make someone smile in a moment even though you can visibly see the hardship of their fights.

True Beauty

What Is True Beauty?

What qualities do stunning women share?

Elegant. Chic. That certain je ne sais quoi. Call it whatever you want. Certain women possess that one glowing quality that catches people off-guard. Often it’s hard to pinpoint its genesis. It could be the simple yet classy chignon in her hair, it could be her stunning attire, it could even be her picture perfect smile, but often it’s something much more intrinsic than any of these. It could just be something about the way she carries herself.

What are the things that truly speak to the glamour of a woman?

Childhood Idol

I would say that true beauty lies in subtlety and the little external details only magnify it. Think of a woman that you idolized as a child. Was it your mother? Grandmother? A teacher, perhaps? Think about what you remember most. I remember my mother the most and the way her wavy long hair framed her face and softened her eyes. I used to think she was a mermaid because of the way her hair flowed. But it was more than just these traits that made women such as my mother so admirable.

Fabulous Feature

One major factor of beauty is having a captivating feature.

Do your eyes have a sparkle to them that shows even when it’s dark out?

Do you have a commanding posture that oozes sexiness? Perhaps you have a charismatic laugh that people can’t seem to get enough of. Those of us who have figured out how to play up this feature will never have difficulty catching glances of awe even in a large crowd.We have also learned how to use these features to the best of our advantage. A quick glance over our shoulder or flashing our signature smile has been known to earn us discounts, passes, numbers, an endless array of free goodies and sometimes even jobs. It’s more than superficial “prettiness” because we have learned how to exude confidence and charm without having to resort to unclassy alternatives like over-the-top makeup and revealing attire, but rather by having learned how to maximize our best beauty assets.

More Than Skin Deep

But more important and long lasting than any of these physical attributes are those that cause us to truly admire or idolize certain women in the first place: inner beauty. This is why Princess Diana is a lasting icon, whereas Britney Spears isn't even a commonly respected personality. True inner beauty means that your smile goes beyond photogenic and is genuine and sincere. It means that people enjoy being around you because it makes them feel beautiful. It’s a matter of natural charm and a kind spirit that brings out one's inner beauty.

This, I would argue, is the most important part of one's personality, because this will carry through when old age takes its toll.Lastly, I want to point out one of the most understated qualities that contributes to a woman’s beauty: wisdom.

It increases with age and experience, it shines through even the most weathered faces and is the reason why we looked up to our female idols in the first place, even if we didn’t know it at the time. A baby can be cute, a young girl can have a pretty face, but real beauty takes time to cultivate and develop, and relies on far more than genetics, surgery or physique to be truly captivating.

In the end, beauty chalks up to more than just a fresh face and a killer body. It relies heavily on personality. Consider the following for a moment: if you spend your life stressed, angry and resentful, it’s not going to be your laugh lines that will be noticeable in your older years. That being said, the best advice for lasting beauty ought to be obvious: smile…

Faith Is Our Light


A Faithful Heart

God measures your success not just by results but by the Faithfulness of your Spirit.

The worries of this life, the temptation of wealth, and many other evil desires keep the teaching from growing and producing fruit in their lives.


Would you consider someone highly successful who was conceived out of wedlock?
Who was born into a poor family? Who lost his father at an early age? Who was looked down on because of his race? Who was a simple manual laborer? Who was from a small town that was barely a dot on the map? who was scorned by the religious and political leaders of his day? Who was arrested and imprisoned? Who was executed as a criminal?

Jesus, from an obscure country and city at the edge of the greatest kingdom in the world of its day, was all those things--and yet He changed the world.

Jesus set aside all the trappings of worldly success in order to bring glory to His Heavenly Father (John 10:17).

He even warns His followers that loving Him may result in persecusion (Matthew 10:17), loss of family,and even death (Luke 21:16)

But He also assures us that there is no greater reward than doing the will of the Father in heaven (Matthew 16:27).If you are discourage with some of the results of your lablor, remember that God spells success differently than the rest of the world.

He spells it F-A-I-T-H-F-U-L-N-E-S-S.There's nothing wrong with experiencing the kind of success that the world recognizes. Paul says, "In all the work you are doing, work the best you can"(Collossians:323). That will lead to accomplishments.But if the choice before you is the applause of the people whom you call as FRIENDS, than the applause of heaven, and your loveones, only one reward is worth pursuing.

I personally tried to please everybody in everyway. I am not trying to do what is only good for me and my spirit, but what is good for most people I've met in real life and through the net.

To share something greatly changed them to be a better person is what matter most eventhough to some people look at it negatively.

Don't worry if happens... someone in your life despised, and accusing you for doing something you never did. **** That will test how strong your love, trust, and faithfulness. Working harder to prove your innocence is an indications of authenticity as person.

Don't work too hard if all your motives may results pain, sadness, and regrets, that will disbanned from your loveones. PROMISES:

God will...

...make great those who serve willingly...bless those who work hard for the welfare of his family,friends, and the needy....bless those who commit their work to him. ....NEVER BLESS THOSE WHO LOVE AND WORKED HARD FOR ANYONE'S MOTIVES TO HARM SOMEONE.

[ He even warns His followers that loving Him may result in persecusion (Matthew 10:17), loss of family,and even death (Luke 21:16)]


FRIENDS WE NEVER KNOW, BELIEVE ME, WHEN WE HAVE SUCCEEDED BEST.

Life Is Always Half Full & Half Empty

First Things First

Only one thing is important. Mary has chosen the better thing, and it will never be taken away from her. (Luke 10:42)

In the famous parable of the lost son (Luke 15:11-32), a young man rejects his father's teaching and authority. Demands his inheritance, and heads for a distant land where he squanders his financial and moral wealth. The loving father never gives up on this prodigal, and when his young son does come to his senses and ashamedly returns home, he welcomes him with open arms.

He honors him with a feast, and party, a special cloak, and a golden ring. The older brother, who was faithfully stood by his father's side this whole time, is enraged that the prodigal should receive such a welcome. The father sadly reminds this older son that you dont't have to work in a pig sty like his younger brother did to have a piggy attitude. Both sons learn about forgiveness and reconciliation from the love of their father.

In our passage, (blog: Having Mary in Matha's...) we discover that Martha much like the older brother, holds deep resentment toward a younger sibling. No, Mary is not IMMORAL and REBELLIOUS, but SHE certainly doesn't have Martha's SENSE of RESPONSIBILITY. She leaves the dishes and chores to her sister so that she can sit at Jesus' feet. WOULDN'T YOU FEEL A LITTLE RESENTFUL, TOO?

Jesus' answer to Martha's demand that HE tell MARY to get busy: "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things. Only one thing is important. MARY has chosen the better things, and it will never be taken away from her"

Is Jesus' point that we not care for our responsibilities? Of course not. But He does remind us that the heart of our faith, our reason for living, is to LOVE and WORSHIP GOD. Nothing else comes first.

When your loveones help or gives advices to friends especially male friend, it doesn't mean she/he is unfaithful or doing immoral acts that will makes us ashamed and feel doing revenge against YOUR will... and Gods' will.

NEVER USED OTHER PEOPLE TO GET SYMPHATY AND ALLOW THEM TO HURT YOUR LOVEONES ON YOUR BEHALF...YOU DONT HAVE TO SHOW THAT YOU'RE THE BEST AND HONEST PERSON ON EARTH. SURE...GOD KNOWS THAT YOU ARE.

Remember that nobody is perfect.

FAITH.....

If you truly and honestly trust, love, and care for your love ones...whatever happens FIRST THINGS FIRST ...hurting or revenge is not a solution for reconciliation. Besides this people you're using are just like a VIRUS designed to corrupt all the programs and hardworked files that made you suffered from hunger, restless, and sleepless nights just to PROTECT them and stored in Your HEART safely as your documents...FOREVER.

The saddest part, even how much you tried hard to retrieve those corrupted files and documents...will a super anti-virus 100% guaranteed to helps you restored those lovedwork documents? I HOPE THEY CAN.

Put this in mind...Just like human BRAIN and HEART...Once damaged there can no possible way to restore it.

PROMISES: God will provide your needs, give your heart's desires. Take on your burdens.And bring you delight in him.

FRIENDS THE STATEMENTS ABOVE ARE NOT TAKEN FROM ANY ARTICLES OR BLOGS IN ANY WEBSITEs. Its purely coming from my HEART.

Thank you so much for reading my blogs...and being a friend. God bless us all!

"Love Connections"


When our eyes first met
It was August 2001 and I was signing my then 4 year old daughter out of school since she had stayed after for Pom & Cheer. This was her very first year and we were new at the school and so I was fumbling, trying to figure out the exact protocol to collect my child, while also balancing a one year old on my hip and a huge mommy purse over my other shoulder. I could feel heavy eyes upon me, and I turned sensing that I was being stared at.

He was standing across the room, just staring at me, a fact he made no attempt to hide when I turned around and caught him. He just smiled wickedly. He was also waiting for his daughter to finish Pom & Cheer, and still, he kept staring. I blushed, and looked at the ground uncomfortably, trying to pull away from his gaze, wondering what I had done to get the attention from such a handsome man. It was probably because I was so tall or because I'm obviously so clumsy and lost, or I must have peanut butter on me somewhere again.

I was married with a 4 year old and a 1 year old so it never occurred to me… it just didn't occur to me at all why he was looking at me. I recognized him though, I felt like I was looking at someone I had known for all eternity, someone that it would be more than natural to walk up to and talk to like we were the best of friends. And still, he watched me.

I was becoming more and more uncomfortable with his attention, he smiled at me, and I automatically smiled back and then immediately turned to face away from him. So he walked over to the sign out sheet, ran his finger down the page, found my name, and looked up at me and smiled again on purpose! And now he knew my name too. I wanted to fade right into the wall.

I wondered what kind of karma I had with this man. What would our connection be? Why did I feel such a strong pull towards him? Why had he suddenly appeared in my life? I was a very nerdy, stay at home mom and never got attention from any men at all. And certainly, I hadn't been interested in anyone new in years.

Four years later after Anthony made love to me for the very first time and I lay naked in his arms pressed up against his chest, he would recount every single detail of that moment that he first saw me. How he watched me walk in the door. How I was wearing jeans and a cropped white tank top that showed off my pierced belly button and all he wanted to do was run his hands over my bare stomach. How I had bleached blond hair and he couldn't wait to run his fingers though it. How he knew at that moment that I belonged to him, and it was only a matter of time. All he had to do was be patient. He said he also noticed the ring on my finger, but thought it was ridiculous since I was going to be his. He said that he knew at that moment that I was the one for him. I already belonged to him.

For me the moment was a few weeks later, September 20th, 2001. That was when he put his hand on my shoulder to get me to turn around, and asked me a question. It felt like electricity shot from his hand all down my body. Overwhelmed, I accidentally stood much too close to him, but he didn't move away.

He finally had the nerve to speak to me and came up with a good excuse, but I barely heard a thing he was saying since the magnetism between us was unlike anything I had ever felt before. In that moment that he first touched me, I knew. He was asking me about the shirt I was wearing to support a 9/11 charity, somehow I offered to drive an hour across town and buy some for him.

When I got into my van I just sat there trying to wake myself up and figure out what had happened. I was holding his business card and $200 in cash in my hand and I had never even told him my name, but his was on the card. Who does that? I drove across town to pick up the shirts; my best friend from High School ran the charity. She wanted me to call Anthony and thank him for the donation. I said, "NO WAY, I can't even speak to him. He gets me all excited. I am going to end up with that man." She looked at me like I had two heads and said, "But you're married."I said, "Yeah, that's the part I haven't figured out yet." That was 2001.

It would be another six weeks till we would discover that we had just purchased the last two houses on the same street and would be next door neighbors. We were both moving in the same exact week. We would also find out that this wasn't the first time we were neighbors. We lived near each other at the same time in college, and in 1998 we lived in the same apartment complex in units that were facing each other for the exact same months. Phoenix is a huge city, so it was more than unusual that we had been neighbors so many times. It was as if some force, or God, or the universe, was purposely putting us in each other's paths so we could find each other.
In 2005 my husband and I decided to divorce.

Much to my amazement, the day after he moved out, Anthony called to talk to my ex. I told him he would have to call the office, because my husband moved out since we were getting divorced. Turns out that Anthony was newly single too. He was in St. Louis on business, but he would be home soon, and he wanted to see me. On September 25th, 2005, four years after he first saw me, he kissed me for the very first time. I swear I saw fireworks, got all weak in the knees, and all most fainted. That was the first time anyone had ever made me feel that way by kissing me, I thought that sorta silly phenomenon only happened in movies where they were being dramatic and mushy.

I don't think two people ever wanted each other so badly.

This week, almost three years later, we couldn't find time to meet so I could drop stuff off to him. I argued that I only need 30 seconds to hand him things. He said he required much more than thirty seconds to see me. I said,

"Come on, you can't see me for just a few seconds?"Anthony said, "No way, when I look at you, or get close to you, I want you just as much as the very first day I saw you seven years ago. I have to touch you. I have to kiss you. I can't help myself. Tell me you can see me and not want to touch me?"He's right of course.

I can't see him with out wanting to be pressed right up against him. When I am with him, I don't want to be anywhere else on Earth, and I feel like I'm home. Each time he kisses me it's like the very first time. Each time he text messages me, I'm a giggly as a teenager with a bad case of puppy love!


I wrote this blog a few months ago in response to a few other bloggers who wrote on whether or not they believed in LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. I countered that I did because it has impacted my life quite significantly.


Do you believe in LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT???


Why?


'You've got to find what you love,' Arriana says

My life has been a roller coaster ride.All i can say is ..been there than that...but i've learned to make a major shift in life that put me into self realization on what would really bring me true happiness & contentment that i've been longing for.


Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:


No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else should just be secondary.

And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

We will just lived once why not make the best of it!!It is how you look at it.Life is not just money....i'm not telling that this is not important.All people need it.......me i want to have a comfortable life.....all people wanted that.But some can be so greedy in expense of their happiness at the end not knowing they are left empty.In my age i already experienced all the hatred,sorrow & emptiness.........that is what have made me a stronger person.....................my principles is still intact even a lot has changed still looking to have better future.That is what i'm going to strive for to live a life where i can find the true happiness & self worth i'm longing.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
