Being laughed at...

"It is much better to be laughed at doing the things you love than be praised for doing
the things you dont care about..."


Recently I posted this saying in my Facebook (View my FB account) wall, having created this saying myself hopefully without any plagiarism whatsoever... I've been thinking that maybe just maybe I've been doing it all wrong all these times. Isn't it funny that people would laugh at other people who they think are not in the same brain wavelength as them. A lot of people think and act as if those people who are in disagreement and in contradiction to what they believed in are entirely on fault or wrong. Maybe that is why this world is in total chaos because I believe this is the greatest mistake of human beings.

No matter in what field of argument we have, whether it is in education, politics, warfare or religion, we don't respect the opinion of others nor accept in its entirety their philosophy and we tend to believe in our principle and stick to it until the end. This kind of thinking is good, as long as we don't force others to be in conjunction of what we believe in.

A long time ago, I stated the 3 things that would make a man contented and truly happy of his life:

  • Doing what you love
  • Loving what you do
  • Loving the person you truly love

Others may insult, ridicule or make fun of you, but to think that if you are doing the things you love, then to hell with them. At the end of the day, it is you who will have the smile on your face and not them.

Being laughed while doing what you love is great, it means two things, you are gaining attention and people envy you. Live your life as you want it, don't let other people force their way of living unto you... Even if society judges you, you will always be the person that you see in the mirror every single day. People could destroy you reputation but never your character....

My Favorite Song

Austin
Blake Shelton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb1DTsxBOfE

She left without leavin' a number
Said she needed to clear her mind
He figured she'd gone back to Austin
'Cause she talked about it all the time
It was almost a year before she called him up
Three rings and an answering machine is what she got

If you're callin' 'bout the car I sold it
If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling
If you've got somethin' to sell, you're wastin' your time, I'm not buyin'
If it's anybody else, wait for the tone,
You know what to do
And P.S. if this is Austin, I still love you

The telephone fell to the counter
She heard but she couldn't believe
What kind of man would hang on that long
What kind of love that must be
She waited three days, and then she tried again
She didn't know what she'd say,
But she heard three rings and then

If it's Friday night I'm at the ballgame
And first thing Saturday, if it don't rain
I'm headed out to the lake
And I'll be gone, all weekend long
But I'll call you back when I get home
On Sunday afternoon
And P.S. If this is Austin, I still love you

Well, this time she left her number
But not another word
Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evenin'
And this is what he heard

If you're callin' 'bout my heart
It's still yours
I should've listened to it a little more
Then it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I belong
And by the way, boy, this is no machine you're talkin' to
Can't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love you

I still love you

My Life...

This is really a wild experience for me this year.. 2011...

I resigned from a great job to land into better jobs. I've been looking forward into combining working in the industry and working in the academe, and good for me I'm in both now... Going back to the academe is a great boost for myself... Teaching will always be a part of me, no questions asked... I love developing young IT guys and gals into becoming full-pledged programmers and web developers, it's a heart warming experience...

And working home-based for an online client is really a different experience.. It;s really great to feel that I've landed on jobs that I was just dreaming a long time ago... Practicing what you preach and preaching what you practice, I guess this is my life...

Although the setbacks are: lesser time to enjoy life, gaining weight and beer-belly and cramming on other projects that's pending and delayed.. and of course the stressful feeling of lack of sleep and overworked body, and the worst the laziness on the job at hand... are just pretty common on this. But what's in life if without the struggles and hardships.. It's like every moment is worth living... It feels like Im completely living everyday of my life without the waste of over sleeping and idle minds.. After we die, we will have all the time sleeping.. So why waste it on sleeping..

I want a simple life... Nothing fancy... Doing what I love... Loving what I do.... Making the world a better place one student and one website at a time.. lmao.

Now Im looking forward on saving some of my salary for future spending ... In 5 months time I will be 26... getting old and unhealthy ... and still having a lot of unreached dreams ... Need to double time ...
