Music - Mai Phen Rai
Mood - Thoughtful

`the present.

Today, I went to watch cinderella story again after school. I couldn't resist the urge to watch it again. AND I'm still not bored of it. I mean, It's a great show, and I'm SO going to by the DVD. I just realised that a Cinderella Story is an exceptionally inspirational movie, and the producers rock.

`my thoughts.

Watching the show invoked some thought into my head. On my way home, I was reflecting on the meaning of one little word - life.

L.I.F.E - Just four letters, and yet can mean so much.

Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

Quoted from the cinderella story, this string of words, as one may call it, is very inspiring. It forces you to realise that, "hey, nothing's going to stop me from achieving my dreams." If you put in the necessary effort and go all out to achieve my dreams, who knows, one day it may very well come true.

Having a positive attitude towards things is also very important. Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood. I always choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it. Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood. It's your choice how you live your life. I learned from this that every day you have the choice to either enjoy life or to hate it. The only thing that is truly yours that no one can control or take from you is your attitude, so that if you take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier.

I think friendship is feinitely essential if you want to get through your setbacks. Without my friends, I would be nothing. I'd rather have one best friend than 10 good friends. Friends give you the moral support you need to get through life, and they will catch you if you fall. If they ever jumped off a bridge or cliff, I'd definitely be at the bottom to catch them. After all, that' s what friends are for right?

In my opinion, ultimately, love is the most important thing of all. I'm sure you've heard of the saying that love makes the world go round. We live in a world filled with love. We have a family to love and will be loved in return; we have friends to care for and will be cared for in return. What could be better than living a happy life filled with love, with your friends, family, and loved ones supporting you all the way?

nothing.

Remember, a life full of regrets is an unhappy one. And in this world, who wants to be unhappy, when they have a whole life out there for them to live, to cherish?

no one.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,you are more blessed than the million who won't survive the week.If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment,the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of
20 million people around the world.If you attend a church meeting without fear
of harassment, arrest, torture or death,you are more blessed than almost 3
billion people in the world.If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on
your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep,you are richer than 75% of
this world.If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare changein a
dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.If you can read
this message, you are more blessed than overtwo billion people in the world who
cannot read anything at all.

After reading this, be grateful to what you have. for you are one of the luckiest and most blessed people in this world.
