Pay No Attention to Boundaries

"Pay No Attention to Boundaries." Carlana Stone, pg 127

I do believe no matter how good we are, there are certainly boundary for us to leap over towards the success. Sometimes the boundaries are the people around you, even yourself!

There are people in this world who don't want to see your success and they would just acknowledge you for who you are and thinking that you will not go further than that. Well, if you stop doing what you like just because there are people like that, you are a loser.

I believe there are always boundaries in everything we do. The question, how do we overcome that boundary?

Say no to it? Or maybe taking a leap on it? Break it? Or spare it for another time?

Try this (exercise from Carlana);

Pick out any goals you want to achieve and write down all of them. Write down a game plan, decide on path, and explore the consequences. Then ACT. You may change your strategy if you need along the way.

You will find that no matter how big or small your goals are, no matter what happen, you succeed or not, you will feel proud and you will realise this because no matter what it is, at least you know that you already done your best and it should give you an appropriate amount of satisfaction. You will feel greater, and you will fell that you are in control.

So, if people out there ask you to stop doing what you like, then you don't listen to them. They are just the breakers. No matter what condition you are in, you must know that there is nobody to give you what you want. It always you and that is only you who can live your life the way it should be.

People will say anything to make them feel great. So, if there's a voice of defiance or objection, just pretend you are not listening. They are the true boundaries.

Pay no attention to the attention, yes?

Taking Chances

Don't know much about your life.
Don't know much about your world, but
Don't want to be alone tonight,
On this planet they call earth.

You don't know about my past, and
I don't have a future figured out.
And maybe this is going too fast.
And maybe it's not meant to last,

But what do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

I just want to start again,
And maybe you could show me how to try,
And maybe you could take me in,
Somewhere underneath your skin?

What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

And I had my heart beaten down,
But I always come back for more, yeah.
There's nothing like love to pull you up,
When you're laying down on the floor there.
So talk to me, talk to me,
Like lovers do.
Yeah walk with me, walk with me,
Like lovers do,
Like lovers do.

What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

Don't know much about your life
And I don't know much about your world.

Pure Science1 2005-2006

I have no word to express how much I miss this moment. My secondary school-time definitely one of my best moment in my life!

I miss my lovely class teacher Miss Devagi, Pn Aznah, Pn Mariam, Pn Rahimah, Pn Kamariah and all of them!

The thing is, I won't be here standing on my feet right now, without them helping me to be who I am today. Especially Miss Devagi, who taught me the meaning of living life and be confident. She knows what I am and she knows my life quite well. In fact, she is the only one who took care of us unconditionally despite different races and religions. 

Sebagai ganti nama kedua, dia membahasakan kami sebagai 'anak'. Dia juga sering menyatakan kebanggaannya mempunyai kami sebagai anak muridnya. And she said this is the best class she ever had. Seperti Miss Devagi, Pn Aznah juga memiliki naluri keibuan menyeluruh kerana dia tidak lokek untuk berkongsi apa sahaja yang ada bersama kami. Pn. Rahimah pula tidak dapat dinafikan seorang ustazah yang gemar gosip2. Hehehe. The one and only Ustazah yang sangat sporting untuk berkongsi cerita. Sungguhpun itu, dia sangat tegas dalam mengendalikan sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran.

There were actually more teachers who have carved beautiful things on our heart, on my heart precisely. They do have their own personality and strength when it comes to dealing with us, kids. And now, I don't know how much I miss them but will just let it be the best part in my life. Can't turn back time and we have to keep on moving.

Zaman persekolahan sememangnya zaman yang paling indah.

Fakta. Kerana di sinilah aku belajar segala cara untuk menempuhi segala dugaan dan cabaran untuk menjadi seorang manusia yang berguna.








And now, we are all on our different part towards our own destiny.
The memory of 2006.
