Sometimes, I think our world is so full of standards by which our lives are being judged; that is why compromising is always at the least of our options.
Looking at the bigger picture, I think there's more to life than meeting expectations, following rules and simply blending in. Too much conformity kills the life in us. I think we owe to ourselves the freedom to do what we want and just let things be; the way we want them to be. Life is too short for us to worry about what might other people think and too short for us to waste time judging also for that matter. We are all humans capable of living and committing mistakes..
So, go on. Live life. Love more. Expect less. :)

What competition?
If I inspire you, it is my pleasure. If I make you feel that you are better than me or any other people for that matter, it is also my pleasure. Competition? Who's competing? Looks like you need acknowledgement & recognition more than I do... #applause #standing ovation

Note to the Jack of all trades - FOCUS.
Note to the Jack of all trades-
In reality, nothing is ever going to be 'ideal' for you all the time so you better learn to abide by the rule of gestation. Ergo, to be a master of something -- always look at the upside and always put direction to the things that you do. Don't find meaning as if "meaning" is lost. And most of all, be patient. Most successful people became successful only because they were focused at doing that one thing that, with time, they became really good at. Allow yourself some time to succeed at something. Don't jump from one career to another or one talent to another. Remember that nothing is gained in an instant. Well, at least, except for cup noodles. :)

What really counts - struggling to live the passion
So, here's something that I realized today--
There will come a time in your life wherein you are going to meet people who will always pull you down; don't allow them to mess up with your mind. Stay FOCUSED especially when you know it in your heart that you've got what it takes.
Always remember that:
Your talent is God given. (That is perfection in itself.)Don't let one person measure how much talent you have. Always trust what you hear from the crowd. Most importantly, stay strong especially when dealing with people in show business, keep an eye on them.Lastly, pray for you to meet decent people who will believe in your talent; people who will not take advantage of you.

How to have a long lasting relationship (with your partner)
Say "Thank you". There is nothing more important than acknowledging even the smallest efforts of your partner. Yes, even if it doesn't meet your standards and expectations. Say "Thank you" based on his/her effort; for taking time and trying. Always focus and acknowledge efforts. Don't put too much limelight on the results of these 'efforts' because if you do, most often than not, especially if you have high standards and expectations, you'll get disappointed (which at this point is where fights usually come in). So, say "Thank you" even if you can't dig much of what he's doing. Saying "Thank you" means A LOT because it shows appreciation; which in turn, shows love.
Attitude of gratitude, people!

A piece of advice on Love.
NEVER ever let your guard down. Boundaries are built for a reason. Stick to your principles and everything will be okay. If you meet someone whom you think is an exception, think twice! If you seem unsure, then there might be a reason why you are in the first place. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. Trust your heart but ALWAYS use your brain; because if a guy really loves you, he'll never run out of reasons not to.

"Shenzy & me"
But, things changed when she got older. She lost her sight. She's always groggy. But despite that, her excitement and enthusiasm whenever she sense my presence, still remains the same. She would cry happy tears.
But, now she's gone. She died of old age but she lived a good life and she's now my angel. I will miss her forever and no one can replace her in my heart.
RIP Shenzy [1995-2011]
