Thoughts and Theories

From my old blog:

We shouldn't worry about anything at all, because everything will fall into place in the end no matter what happens. Things are going to work out for us. If it doesn't, we'll just have to hold on and bear with it for a while. All we need is patience, and the ability to stay calm.

Changing my mindset automatically brings forth my life to a new level. And I realized it's all about feeling comfortable in your own skin, feeling truly confident about yourself but not to overreact when praises are given. Not to be beaten up by criticism and sarcasm, either. I'm a walking example of how our emotions channel our daily lives and choices we make and how we react on matters. Since it worked on me, I'm sure everyone's day could be brighter if they would choose be more optimistic, because recently all I see are rants and pointless laments floating around my computer screen. Come on people, life's brief candle. If you don't live it now you're never going to have the chance to redeem your youth, the time you wasted on complaining instead of actually making an effort to turn things around.

1. Feel comfortable in your own skin, you won't know how many people are dying to be just like you.

2. Stop worrying about things.

3. Judging is a crime. Judging by looks and impression is committing a sin. Learn to accept people for who they are and stop discriminating. We're all humans, we have flaws and we have strengths. We're perfectly imperfect.

4. Conquer your fears. Life's too precious to be wasted on being afraid.

5. No one can hurt you or bring you down if you don't let them. You are who you want yourself to be. Do not live for the others, they do not own you and they never will.

6. Live without regrets. Past experiences are what makes us... us.

7. Even the most precious of diamonds, need to be well polished for its luster to appear.

Yayasan Khazanah: First & Second Stage

Undeniably, scholarships and I tend to have rather... complicated relationships. The first one I applied for (and a quite prestigious one for heaven's sake) didn't qualify because reckless little me missed out one of the application procedures. I'm still beating myself up for that. And then there was Taylor's Principal Awards where I was awarded with 10 thousand MYR worth of tuition wee waiver for selected Pre-University Courses. Considering my current financial abilities, I turned it down because as honoured as I am to be holding a TPA, the remaining uncovered fees (not to mention living costs) were still far from what my family could afford. I didn't get the PETRONAS scholarship, neither did I make it to the 3rd stage of Yayasan Khazanah (YK). I say, failures are a sign of you're getting closer to what you want, so let's rejoice. Back to where I started, I was about to write about what I've learned during the interview processes of YK - Stag...

Can you believe it's been more than a year? So much has changed since then, and yet it all feels so familiar. They say the delight you reap from chasing after your dreams is the euphoria and the sweet nectar of satisfaction, the joy within from seeing the ones you love and cherish grow along with you, and the happiness in yourself knowing that no matter what you do - they will always have your back. I always thought that was true. Hell, I knew it was true because I felt it at some point. I felt impenetrable from so much trust and foothold that came from around me. Maybe it was the fatigue after the sweet rush of sugar had faded, maybe it's just me losing control or losing sight of what really matters, but things kept spiraling downwards and downwards and now I don't even know if there's an end to this tunnel anymore. I would say I wish things were different, but honestly, I don't think there's any more space left for hope in me. It's okay, my heart...
