Love Vs. Friendship (guess the winner?)
12:31 pm
I am always thankful for people who stay even if I show them the real me, coz I cant be someone others pressume or expect me to be.. it’s nice to know you remain while I can just be me..
Saying I love you doesn’t only mean loving someone coz you like someone, but for friends, it’s the way to show concern and how much you care, so let me send this message saying I’m here for you coz i love you.
It’s unfair to think so much of you when you’re not missing me at all. To cry when you never shed a tear. To love you when you say words that hurt my heart… and to live when you breathe for someone else.
I loved someone before, I took the risk in loving her even if I dont know what will happen… One day I decided to give up. My friend ask, “What happened?” I answered back, “Not much let me be alone for sometime…”
God wont leave us empty. If something’s been taken away, He replaces it with something better. He asks us to put something down so we can pick up something greater.
I have so many stupid mistakes in my life but sometimes I did right was to have you as my friend and I definetly don’t want to make any stupid mistake again of losing someone like you.
When you arer down, I’d be there to cheer you up. When your tired, I’d be here to lift you up. I’d be your friend no matter what has happened between us.
If I had only one hour to live and I could be with you, I would spend the whole time in your arms.. I wouldn’t even tell you I was dying.. I would just hug you tight and say: “Just be my friend forever…”
I closed my eyes for a moment and tried to visualize how my life would be without you. Try as I might, I cant. So just hang on in there. Coz I wouldn’t know what I’d do without you.
One day you’ll ask me, “which is more important to you? Me or your life?” I’ll say, “my life” and you’ll go and leave me without even knowing that you are my life.
Many times in my life I miss someone so much I want to pick him up in my dreams and hug him for real… Many times this someone is you!
Allow me to thank you for all the effort you’ve shown me. The warm company you’ve given me and most of all the friendship i’ve incountered with you! Thank you!
Missing someone is worse than being blind; like paralysis it cripples your mind; like death, it kills your heart; like emptiness, it tears your world apart. Miss you that bad!
Someday, someone will come into your life and love your life you’ve always wanted. If that was yesterday, learn. If that will be tomorrow, wait and if that is today, keep and don’t let go.
You may not hear from me often how I appreciate you as a friend, but beyond that silence, our friendship creates a beautiful music in my heart that I’ll cherish forever.
- To my sweetest friend.

3 Types of Smart Person
07:42 pm
I remember being smart. Man, that was great: to know all the answers without being told, to finish all your class work in an hour, to race through exams and be the first one to turn them in.I think I peaked in second grade, and I get a little dumber every year. We talk about smart people as if they are all the same, but there are many different kinds of smart, and the labels don’t always stick.
I’ve met a lot of smart people in college, and I find they can be broken down into three categories.
The first kind of smart is Honor Roll smart. These are the people who do their homework, study for tests, turn in papers weeks in advance and generally make the rest of us feel lazy.
The second kind of smart person is the regrettably common Gifted Slacker (a category I am still in). Gifted Slackers recognize their intelligence at a young age. Some of them are child prodigies; some of them are just lucky. And over time, they all develop the same blind spots.
Schoolwork comes easy to them - so easy, in fact, it becomes boring. They race through tests and sit there with nothing to do. The homework is boring, so they just stop doing it.
Sometimes teachers allow them to read books in class when they get bored. This is a big mistake. Books are inherently more interesting than class work, so once this loophole is established, the Slackers work even faster to get back to their stories. Their work becomes sloppy and rushed, their motivation sinks like a stone, and at the end of the road, they end up with 160 IQ points and a D-average.
Some of them still do well on tests. Others drop out completely, becoming ultra-specialized automatons. These folks can assemble computers in their sleep, but they can’t tell you who Mark Twain was.
This leads us to my favorite type of smart person: the Tragically Overspecialized. And while the rest of these categories apply to students, this one applies to teachers. Many professors start out as Honor students or Gifted Slackers and end up like this, so devoted to their chosen field that all the other knowledge in their heads just kind of slips away.
These folks can tell you what ingredients Melville put in his coffee, but they can’t tell you who wrote the Declaration of Independence. Their conversations sound like this:
STUDENT: “So, do you like Mark Twain?”
PROFESSOR: “I’m sorry, that’s not my field.”
STUDENT: “I thought you were an English professor!”
PROFESSOR: “I teach British literature. Mark Twain is American literature. If you want to know about Mark Twain, you’ll have to ask Professor Coxswain. He’s the expert.”
STUDENT: “I just wanted to know if you like him!”
PROFESSOR: “I’m sorry, that’s not my field. I’m really not comfortable discussing American authors.”
So what’s the difference between the Slackers and the Honor students?
I think it has to do with self-awareness. The Honors kids work harder because deep down, they think they’re idiots. They’re afraid of being exposed as frauds, so they work twice as hard and accomplish twice as much.
The Slackers back off because somewhere down the line, someone told them they were smart. They realized they could meet the basic requirements with a minimum of effort, and they didn’t really see any reward for exceeding that standard, so they got lazy and let the whole thing slide.
Some of the most brilliant people I know secretly believe they’re stupid. They’re always rushing from place to place, agonizing over tests, scrambling to find rare books, poised over their computer screens waiting for grades to be posted.
I can’t say this is healthy, but this elemental self-doubt keeps them working. This is why older students traditionally do well in school. They spend years in pathetic mind-numbing jobs, watching helplessly as their knowledge slips away from them.
They go back to school, and they panic. They don’t remember algebra. They don’t remember the Periodic Table, and they think Thomas Jefferson is some guy who dated Grace Slick.
It all comes back to them, of course. And in the midst of all that self-doubt, they end up producing some excellent work. It’s the classic tortoise and the hare story. The bored young genius skips class and ends up failing, while the frantic returning housewife does all the work.
In the real game of life, results trump talent every time. The housewife who gets a B is still going to end up better than the slacker genius who blows off the assignment. And after 10 years of slacking off, the genius isn’t really a genius anymore. He’s been surpassed by ordinary people who did the work, paid their dues and turned their brains into something wonderful.

Season of Renewal, Hope And Commitment
07:49 am
The New Year is the season of renewal and a time of commitment, a time to colour our own lives with shades of harmony and hope.
If the Creator had one message for us it would be: All this I have created for you, take pause and reflect; do not corrupt or make desolate your world — if you do, there is no one to set it right after you.
The message is simple: “We are all responsible”, not only for natural ecology but also for the intricate web of humanity.
An Ojibway prayer runs like this: “Grandfather, look at our brokenness, we know that in all creation/ Only the human family/ Has strayed from the Sacred Way./ We know that we are the ones who are divided/ And we are the ones/ Who must come back together/ To walk the Sacred Way/ Grandfather, Sacred One, Teach us love, compassion and honour/ That we may heal the earth/ And heal each other”.
In the New Year we could pray with a heart filled with infinite gratitude and ask: Dear Creator, receive our prayers; and grant us both perception and knowledge of the things we ought to do, also the grace and energy to accomplish them.

Bless our centres of learning; may knowledge and sound learning flourish and abound in them, inspire all who teach and all who learn to seek wisdom to consoli-date the web of humanity. Read more
