Key to Success – TT

To truly know one’s self is the key to one’s success. This includes your strengths, but more importantly your weaknesses.

Make a Wish – TT

-melody for lyrics below…

Make a Wish

When I first noticed you,
You were a plain simple loving soul.

I never knew much about what you believed,
And the thought of asking never cross my mind.

Then by chance our path met,
I could not possibly ask for more.

The times we shared were my best memories,
I know you share the same feeling.

It’s my choice that I want to keep you on my mind,
Till that time we’re destined to meet again.

But for now I wish you have a joyful,
Life with whomever you’re with.

And I pray that happiness never leave your side,
As I hope your future shine brightly

However I will always wonder,
If you were the one for me.

Tonight look at the sky,
May the shooting star grant you a wish.

Think Positive – TT

It is very important to keep one’s thoughts positive. And when the negative thoughts comes knocking, try to refuse them entry and focus on positive things. If one constantly dwells on the negative thought, then depression becomes inevitable.

Decision vs. Outcome – TT

If you do not make any decision then you are not held accountable for the outcome. But at the same time, you can not hold others accountable for the outcome, because you held your peace in the beginning.

Thoughts On… Bloging

Through the blogs we can peek into each other’s life. We get to see how much we have in common, at the same time see how different we are. We pour our heart and soul into it, so that it might be an accurate representation of who we are. Some choose to represent the feelings and facts directly, while others choose to put them into poems and stories. In time, our lives would be the most well recorded documents known to men.

Truly Original Thoughts – TT

A truly original thought in a world where all the possibility of new ideas seems to be exhausted is either of pure luck or genuine ingenuity. But a life time of original thoughts quickly settles the argument of luck vs. genius.

The Inconvenient Truth – TT

The Inconvenient Truth: A truth that inconvenience us so much, that we wish to ignore it, so we can proceed with our lives undisturbed.

---

When it was my time to leave,
I didn’t really want to go,
But I had no right to stay,
And it was a good thing I didn’t stay.

Did the things we do seem so right to you?
Did the time we spent seem as we belong together?
Did the way we exchange ideas seem we had been for a long time?
Did the phrase “stop searching but look at what’s right in front of you” meant for us?

What if I wish to hold your hand?
Would that have been right with you?
What if I wish to hold you close?
Would you want me to never let go?

Henceforth these are now lay out,
A lot more clear than first time around.
Due to the fact this truth is so inconvenient,
I hope it would go away on its own!

Life, Suprises

Life is full of surprises, in order to cope with it, we change… The you and I of yesterday are no where to be found in the you and I of tomorrow.

Dare To Dream – TT

It is important to have dreams, even if the dreams seem foolish!

Thoughts On… Sweet

Sweet is a feeling that comes from within.
Sweet is understanding what another is going through.
Sweet is when you think about how the other person feels.
Sweet is going out of your way to do something nice for another.
Sweet is doing all the little things that appears not to make any difference.
Sweet is a cause of closeness between two people.
Sweet is wishing best to someone you care deeply about.
Sweet is known at the moment you experience it.
Sweet is giving up your own cause to support another’s.
Sweet is a feeling you can never have too much of.

Share and Understand – TT

If we change the action ‘impose’ to ‘share’ and ‘judge’ to ‘understand’ the world would be a better place.

It Might Be… – TT

It might be that I’ll never see you again.
It might be that these were only a dream.
It might be that you and I don’t really exist.
It might be that this is only an imagination.

What is you and I?
What is this time and now?
What might our future be?
What can prove this would work?

Can you feel how I feel?
Can you see what I see?
Can you look into my eyes?
Can you say there is nothing there?

ah..
The price of your happiness I shall gladly pay.
The price is my loneliness and I gladly accept.
If only I would know you shall always be pleased.
Then I would be at peace, finally, at last.

Until then how shall things be?
Until then how will we be?
Will you ever address how I feel?
Will any of these ever matter in time?

The time we shared I will not forget.
The places we visited will always carry our memories.
The things we confided in each other I will always cherish.
The events we went through I can not hope for more.

-for one who could not reply

Thoughts On… Thoughts, Experience, Life

As I impart my thoughts and experience I wish you will grow and expand on it. Treasure life, cherish friends, build powerful memories and live into your dream. One day, when you look back, I wish you may say you have led a good life.

A Weekend Trip – TT

A drive, in thoughts
        many things ran through my head
        many plans carefully thought out
        many ideas thoroughly checked
        many prayers said in my mind

A busy day
        many paths taken
        many place visited
        many tasks completed
        many activities accomplished

        the stars looked down at us
        the walls we can not cross
        the adventures we shared
        the different realm we belong

        a journey up hill
        old friends meet again
        a trip to office
        young lovers meet by chance

(next day)
A relaxing morning
        a quite breakfast
        a few items loaded
        a time to reflect
        awaiting the next meeting

A friendly lunch
        six years we have not crossed paths
        but as we met again, time took us back
        we chat and laugh like we always did
        and all felt just and right

        in some ways we seemed like strangers
        in other ways we had been great friends
        we parted our experiences and dreams
        and we wished in due time, we might meet again

A reminiscing return
        what a great trip this was
        a friend talk about the past
        a friend talk about the present
        a friend talk about the future

        we shared our thoughts on love and lost
        we shared our memories of friends and families
        we shared our visions of goals and dreams
        wouldn’t I love to see them again

Life, Accomplished

You only get one shot at life; accomplish something so that we may be proud to say we knew you.

Thoughts On…Looking Forward to Something

As you wonder from day to day, doing the things you usually do. Is there something that you are looking forward to? A break at the end of the day? A friend that place a smile on your face? A loved one waiting for you? A vocation in a few weeks? How important these things are! They are fuel that keeps us running. They are our balance in our unbalance world. I wish each of you do have something to look forward to, and that you truly treasure them.

-Was inspired by my sister MJ to note these words.

Understanding and Forgiveness – TT

Understanding can lead to forgiveness. Are you willing to be the first to walk down this path?

Hopes and Wishes – TT

Hopes and Wishes

I have hoped for so long
that you would return to be with me

The winter seem to be much colder
without you accompanying me at night

I have missed many things
that we did together over time

I shall not soon forget these memories
as I shall not soon forget you

But I know that we were never meant to be
just as I know you cannot return

However I wish you have a wondrous life without me by your side

I am sorry for the pain that I caused you
and that I hope you have forgiven me

And that now a new beginning dawns
let us wish each other best

My hopes and my wishes
let them come true for you on this night

When You Are Up – TT

Today and Tomorrow – TT

Let today be a new beginning, let tomorrow be a new dream.

Golf Ball Hunt – Comedy Central 9204

Off the seventh tee, Joe sliced his shot deep into a wooded ravine. He took his eight iron and clambered down the embankment in search of his lost ball.
After many long minutes of hacking at the underbrush, he spotted something glistening in the leaves. As he drew nearer, he discovered that it was an eight iron in hands of a skeleton!

Joe immediately called out to his friend, “Jack, I’ve got trouble down here!”

“What’s the matter?” Jack asked from the edge of the ravine.

“Bring me my wedge,” Joe shouted. “You can’t get out of here with an eight iron!”

Team Work – TT

If either you or I are very capable, then we would not have known each other. But since we are both here and now, lets work together!

About Habits – Unknown

The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.

About Humor – Edward de Bono

A sense of humor is the highest form of intelligence.

New Beginning – TT

So much has changed in my life, so much so that I can’t measure with good or bad, but rather a new beginning… I consider this opportunity to be an honor few have and many envy.

To That Special Someone – The Dream – TT

The Dream

As I o-pen my eyes, you stood in, front of me, smil-ing down, with a soft sweet glaze

You asked me, how my night, went with you, by my side, did you dream, a-bout me dar-ling

Did you see, all the stars, shin-ing down, up-on me, while I stood, in the center of the field

What a-bout, the calm winds, blow-ing thru, my long hair, as I looked, up into the night

Then I a-woke from this sweet dream

---

As I open my eyes, you stood in front of me, smiling down with a soft sweet glaze.

You asked me how my night went with you by my side.
“Did you dream about me darling?”
“What about the calm winds blowing thru my long hair, as i looked up into the night?”

Then I awake from this sweet dream.
