in my 29 years of life, there has been many setbacks i've faced. when it first happened, i dunno what to do, how to react. but as i age, experiences taught me how to deal with it little by little.
very close and personal friends will know about my ups and downs. my true story. and mostly, my downfalls.
if i were to sit down in front of you and tell you all about it, i dun think it'll end in 8 hours. too many things have happened.
but with all the setbacks, downfalls, heart breaks, and nervous breakdown that i've suffered, one thing is for sure, is that i always, ALWAYS get back up and running again. that's one thing i can guarantee.
call it perseverance, call it ego, call it anything you want. to me, it's just me learning about life and continuing my journey doin the stuffs that i like and love. ppl can say just about anything about me. i do not have anything to prove, except to my own self.
just now, i have come across a clip on youtube.
this clip, was a speech from a person, who i can say, that i consider as one of the best inspirational person in my lifetime.
this clip might be old, but bear with me. view it, listen to his words, and give it a thought.
somehow, his stories and mine, are about the same. stories about how he viewed life, stories about doin things he loved, stories about how to live a life.
i hope everyone will find this clip as inspirational as i did.
ladies and gentlemen, i believe that my life will be worthwhile living, if all the time i am doing the thing that i love. and thankfully, i have found what i love doing day in and day out. money isn't an issue, it's all about passion. be it about making websites, taking pictures, making music, or just geeking out over some random codes; i love them all.
i've turned down a managerial salary and position to start doin what i do now. so far, i'm loving it more and more each day. each day brings me new information and new things to play with. everyday i wake up feeling like a boy expecting a new toy on his birthday. the joy of learning and the desire to know more, fueled my love towards what i do.
this post is dedicated to all of you out there, who share the same life as me. a life where money doesn't count, a life where possession almost never came into picture, a life where it's driven with curiosity, a life of adventure.
driven by passion, because when money comes into the picture, the end result is already neglectable.
this is to all you dreamers out there.
just like in the video, "STAY HUNGRY, STAY FOOLISH" - nobody can say it better than him.
