DON'T LET YOUR PAST DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE.

Let me tell you a story. Bruce Baumgartner grew up in Haledon, New Jersey and attended Manchester Regional High School. While in college, he captured one NCAA wrestling championship. After college, he went on to win an amazing 13 World and Olympic medals - more than any freestyle wrestler from any country ever has.

What's the point? There is one championship Baumgartner never won. He was never a New Jersey high school state champion. As a matter of fact, Baumgartner never came in better than third. But he didn't let his past determine his future. And neither should you. Let's face it . . .

"YOUR FUTURE IS SO BRIGHT,YOU'RE GOING TO NEED SHADES."

Just for starters, let's look at what you have going for you. You have the world's most powerful computer sitting right on top of your shoulders. You also have the world's greatest machine as a body.
Most people underestimate themselves because they judge what they can do based on what they have done. There's a big difference between what you have done in the past and what you could do in the future. Just because you haven't gotten your incredibly powerful mental computer up and running to its full capacity in the past doesn't
mean you won't in the future. Just because you haven't gotten the world's greatest machine as finely tuned as possible in the past doesn't mean you won't in the future.

YOUR PAST IS NOT YOUR FUTURE.

Imagine trying to drive your car forward by only looking in the rearview mirror. You'd have trouble getting anywhere! Many people have trouble getting anywhere with their lives because they're constantly looking in their rearview mirrors.


But, the problem, at the moment, is that I like to be treated like I was in the past. This is, I dare to say, a Stupid pride, and it's not easy to get out of that. Just let it flow as A-po did.

Truth or Appearance

9 seconds ago, I was struggling for 17 seconds to use the word between Truth and Appearance. What would be appropriate? 'And' or 'Or'? They are merely words, though. And the point is that, I feel good with the word that I chose.
20 minutes ago, I dropped by a convenience store to get americano and found that they don't have a coffee machine. After 6seconds of disappointment, I got a beverage which is new to me at all. And the point is that, I feel very tasty and cool with the beverage that I picked up.
49 minutes ago, I found two buses waiting at the station and I sensed that I couldn't make it now that I was at the opposite side. But I still didn't know where those buses head for. Although I had a chance to recognize the number, I ignored it and thought no matter what, mine would be here soonest and I might enjoy the very fresh and cool AC sitting on the bus. And then, as soon as I arrived at the station, IT APPEARED. And the point is that, everything that I imagined was happening. and I feel so awesome.

133 minutes ago, I loudly spoke to myself that I am gonna have a very good day when I got my eyes open in the bed. And the point is that, I am feeling so vividly and strongly.

[Truth Or Appearance]
I had a converstation with my friend yesterday about the persons working in
Service industry facing the end users and it is probably not that easy to always
smile and be kind and nice and provide the best(?!) service to the customers.
It's made me to link with another idea and.. I would have a post on the
conversation happening last day someday later. ;)

Just lately, I have noticed that a lot of people are feeling the pressure
of all the negativity in the news, so I have decided not to watch a news.

Last but not least, try and find anything that is reported, that will
either be of benefit to me, or is actually something that I need to know. We are
programmed by repetition and also by storing information that we consider
relevant, when delivered by a respected source. Well here is the BIG news, the
media very rarely has any relevant information, and they certainly should not
deserve our respect as a reliable source, so why do we pay so much attention?
Most of the fears and worries are created by listening to the news, and
it is the vivid imagination that takes these stories and works out worse
case scenarios. It is essential for governments to have people in this world, so
that they can manipulate people.

It is our perception of things that create our mood and feelings, but
if our perception is wrong, we are doing things that are not in line with the truth. We seem to always make a decision or judgement based on appearances rather than the truth. Once we know the truth, we can change our mood and feelings in a nano second.

How we make a decision based on what we see, and as soon as we know the
TRUTH, our feelings change immediately. The news is feeding stories, that in
most cases are just produced to evoke fear and worry, and in most cases, they
have no relevance to our life at all, yet we sit there making snap judgements,
without in most cases the full facts, or the truth.

Yes, it's Me you want, I want, Everyone wants.

Once upon a time, there was a young woman who had two
boyfriends, Bill and Charlie. Both of them were madly in love with her. Every
Friday night she would go out with Bill and every Saturday night she had a date
with Charlie. This young woman knew that one day she would marry either Bill or
Charlie, but she was in no rush to take the next step. One weekend, everything
abruptly changed.

It started on Friday when she was having dinner with
Bill. Right before dessert, Bill proposed to her. The woman was so startled that
all she could say was, "Let me think about it." Bill was so disappointed that he
took her home immediately. Saturday night, she had her usual date with Charlie.
Right after dessert, Charlie proposed. She was so startled that all she could
say was "Let me think about it." Charlie was so disappointed that he took her
home immediately.

Later that night, the woman realized that she had to
make the biggest decision of her life. Suddenly, the only person who could help
her magically appeared--her Fairy Godmother. The young woman explained her
dilemma and asked the Fairy Godmother if she could help. "Of course I can help,"
the Fairy Godmother said. "Here's what you have to do. Get a sheet of paper and
a pen. Next, figure out the one thing you love most about being with Bill and
write it down. Then, figure out the one thing you love most about being with
Charlie and write it down. Then read what you wrote about Bill, and read what
you wrote about Charlie, close your eyes, and the name of your future husband
will magically pop into your mind."

The woman did exactly what her Fairy
Godmother said. When she closed her eyes, the name "Charlie" popped into her
mind. The woman was ecstatic! She realized that Charlie was the right choice.

Just then her Fairy Godmother reappeared and asked, "Did my magic work?"
"Oh, it worked like a charm and I discovered that I'm going to marry Charlie."
The Fairy Godmother wanted to know what she had written about Bill.

"When I'm with Bill, he makes me feel like he is the most wonderful
person in the whole world." The Fairy Godmother was confused. "I don't
understand," she said. "You wrote that when you're with Bill, you feel like he's
the most wonderful person in the whole world. So why are you going to marry
Charlie?"

"Oh, that's easy," the woman replied, "When I'm with Charlie,
he makes me feel like I AM the most
wonderful person in the whole world."

It can be just a story or not. Yet for me, it's not a just a story but a big thing now that I kind of beginning to know How important ME in my own life, nothing than me. hahahahahahaha
