Determining Determinations

"The difference between the possible and impossible lies in a person's determination." Tommy Lacorda

It implies that a certain success connotes a different ways of achievements. Pain and hardships has its own way of saying that it is enough, but through determination, a single struggle and difficulties could be overcome. Even if we know it's kinda hopeless, we still try because of the fact that we always want the things we know we thought we could never have. But through determination..everything could change. As what I've always believed in, the way you see things in life depends on how you look at them. Impossibilities simply connote a certain thing which limits your capability of doing something. But life doesn't stop there. You can always meet the challenge every single day and the possibility of measuring a persons limitation will be based on how determined a person could be. As i always picture out, there maybe harm in risking. But there could also be regrets in doing nothing. Success is the failure turned upside down, so rather stick to the fight when your hardest hit. It's when things seemed worst that you must not quit. That's determination. It gives us patience to do simple things perfectly and acquire to do difficult things easily.
As what I've wrote on my first blog.. a sense of purpose is the best driving force for you to live. Because when you have reasons to fight, you will never have reasons to quit.

Click It


Time is gold, a common saying we always hear. It implies that time is precious that once you ignore and waste it, there's no chance of turning it back.
As for "click", the movie showed how valuable time is. Yes, it's amazing that on the movie, you can go back to the past and correct the mistakes you've done for the present. But you can't just fast forward everything simply because you're in a hurry to achieve something in the future because you'll gonna miss all the good things that might happen on those times that you forwarded. Like autopilot, you can jump to another year depending on the event that you would want to. But focusing on that certain event would make you regret the moments you wished you skipped time. well, it's just a simple movie with a simple concept. Adam Sandler wants to finish his work so badly to achieve his goals which is to become successful on his career but never knowing that he was starting to ignore the special thing that really matters to him...his family. Yes it's a nice feeling that people find time for you despite of their busy schedules. But isn't it wonderful if they never see their schedules in times that you need them? It's better to learn to value the people around you and never wait for the time that in a blink of an eye, you can never give them reasons to stay.
Never trust time to decide for you. Yes..it is proven that time is the best decision maker. But sometimes, time makes each decision a little bit too late.
