THE A-Z OF DARE TO FAIL

Are you familiar with the book DARE TO FAIL?

 If you will ask me, I’m certainly not. LOL!

I have read the A-Z of dare to fail by Billi P.S. Lim.  The book has a comic presentation, portrayed in 26 alphabets of the English language explaining in details the important things WE need to know when we FAIL. It elucidates how one should handle failures based on the author’s life experiences.

- HERE is the A-Z of overcoming Failures in order to Succeed - 

Achievers fail more than non-achievers.

Bounce back. Everybody trips once in awhile. It’s whether you bounce back that counts. 

Conquer your fears through action. You don’t know what you can’t do until you do it.

Detach yourself. When something fails, it’s the event that fails, not you.

Enjoy failure – it’s part of life experiences. People who only succeed & never fail experience only half of life.

Failing in the past does not mean you will fail again in the future.

G-d must have loved failures, otherwise why are there more failures than successful people.

Hold fast to your dreams. Do not let hardships, frustrations or disappointments distract you from your goals.

Innovate and come up with new ideas when th old ones no longer work.

Jot down all your ideas and thoughts no matter how crazy they may seem to be.

Know yourself-we are engineered to overcome odds and obstacles.

Learn from failures of others and laugh at your own.

Mistakes are the toll fees we may have to pay in order to break new limits.

Nobody is free from failures in this world. Only those who do nothing worthwhile never fail.

Open your eyes, your mind and your heart to opportunities all the times.

Prepare yourself for all eventualities when you fail. You may have to eat instant noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Quitters never win. Winners never quit. People don’t fail they quit.

Risk - People who never fail may have not taken enough risk.

Success is at the far side of failure. We always pass a patch called “failure” on our way to success.

Trying and failing in something is better than doing and succeeding in nothing.

Understand that people will blame you for your failures or mistakes- it’s normal. Rejections & criticisms are the baptism of fire that makes men great.

Value your life, never commit suicide. So long as you’re alive there’s always another chance.

Wisdom is the highest reward of failing. There is always something to be gained from everything we experienced. Nothing is ever lost.

X-ray and examine where you went wrong and take a new approach more intelligently.

You and I are responsible for our failures and successes, nobody else is.

Zap back your energy and try again with different methods, different approaches, from different directions or in different fields. 

 To be honest, It’s my first time to read this book and I found it interesting, inspiring and fulfilling. It helps me understand the true essence of life and how failure signifies life. It opens my mind to the ugly truth that failure is a part of life-and a life will never be rewarding if there will be no failures at all.

As what the author said: “Failure is a part and parcel of success.”

And I say! Amen to this, because Failure & Success is a two-way process. They are collaborative. You will not succeed without failing and you will not fail without trying to succeed. And that’s how they work together.

P.S.

Follow the A-Z of Dare to Fail and we will certainly Succeed…

Quick Updates

I Love the book The Hunger Games. Perhaps, I love the book because I can relate to Katniss Everdeen. She’s so full of fire. She’s in the midst of destruction and rage and I myself is full of fire too, kindled with anger and hatred. On the other hand, I fell in love with Peeta Mellark and wishing that I was Katniss Everdeen whom he loves. No wonder, I finished reading all the books for only 3 days. I was unstoppable and it’s so unusual on my part. The ending of the book is what I expected and for the first time I was contented with it. Neither I will recount nor make book reviews. I won’t be a spoiler to anyone. Nonetheless, I suggest reading the book. All of it!

 I Love the movie entitled Every Child is Special-an Indian film produced & directed by Amir Khan (I’m sorry if I misspelled the name). The movie is all about a child with dyslexia. His world is filled with wonders that no one else understands. Everybody thinks he is dumb. He is tormented with his peers and even teachers for being a duffer idiot. He was sent to a boarding school because her father believes that he should be disciplined for being stubborn and lazy. But a temporary art teacher made the child’s life meaningful and made everyone appreciate his talent. A 9 year old boy who cannot read and write, and often fails in class is a great painter. His gift is extraordinary, indeed.

I was weeping while watching the movie. It’s not because I can relate to the story but for some reason it touches the most sensitive part of emotion. It’s as if I am marking my first official failure in my academic life. I am wailing my sorrows out and I am in pain. The emotion is there exactly when I need it.

Of course, I am updated with the new episodes of my favorite Western Series. But at this moment, I haven’t downloaded yet other episodes since it will be aired next week. I am also looking forward for a better copy of Wrath of the Titans & The Hunger Games. To be honest, I don’t want to watch it in cinema for it’s a waste of money that’s why I am patiently waiting for a very good copy. I know it’s crappy and I wanted to cut the crap but I am just being honest. However, if someone is willing to give me free tickets why not. I’ll certainly accept it without hesitations. LOL!

I’m also looking forward for this coming semester. Hopefully, I’ll enroll Bachelors of Law again but not anymore in my previous school. For now, I have two options and I hope I can pass the entrance exam.

And that’s all the quick updates for now. This is Bubbly pEarL signing off.

It leads to my hunger for books.LOL

The power of three and the power of my thoughts today

Who has superior power? Is it the Legislative who enacts the law?  Is it the Executive who implements them or the Judiciary who resolves legal controversies by application of the law of the land?

This made me contemplate, indeed.  

Theoretically, these three branches of government are co-equal.  The Constitutional system says that the powers vested on it are separate but compartmentalized and such respective powers should follow the principle of check and balance.

Legislative department is divided into two houses (the congress & the senate). The Executive department embodied by the President has over all control of the entire executive department, and the Judiciary in which the Constitution placed in the Supreme Court the power to resolve and determine the meaning of the law. .  In other words, the Supreme Court can come in if there has been a grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the part of either or both branches. It is only the Supreme Court that has the power to make such judgment. That is the Separation of powers placed in by the constitution. For whatever reason, that is the law and it cannot be revised by any legislators and even the president, other than the sovereign power of the people.

Thus made me understand that there is no superiority among the 3 departments, only the Constitution is superior and we all must bow to the Constitution.

I miss Law School and I want to test myself if I can still understand the law of the land, albeit, unsure if my comprehension is correct. Yet, I’m happy knowing that I can express my thoughts. My confidence seems at the pit and I have to make a move to lift it up. This is helpful. This is one way of venting out what my heart tells me to do so. I miss my blog, I miss blogging and I miss blogger just as I miss to become a student again.

If you were to ask what you would choose, your heart’s desire or your greatest dream since you were a child.?

That’s all for today! Have a great day.

Sincerely,

Dreaming I must be Dreaming

It has been my dream to walk in a carpeted aisle and be the most beautiful bride. I would be on the arms of my father while he walks with me through the aisle and give my hand to the man who promised to love me until the day he dies.

 I know that every woman’s greatest reverie is to become a wife to a man that will marry her, make her a queen and love her for the rest of his life. Do you agree? I bet you do. J

I so miss blogging and you my blogger friends. I have a lot of things to write but my time is so limited. But I’ll come back so very soon. 

P.S.

My special thanks to Haze over at Moonlore  for her comment at my last blog post. I really appreciate it ganda. Thank you so much, sweetheart, for making me feel so important in blog sphere.  

Sincerely,

Let me just say “He is an example of a frustrated rock star vocalist” 

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to post something about someone I cherished the most, but I couldn’t make up my mind what to write. I’ve known this person for more than a decade. In fact, I’ve known him more than he does and anybody else does.

He is the most hilarious person I’ve known and the only one who can make me laugh. For that reason alone, I’ve fallen madly and deeply in love with him. (laughing out loud) Sounds cheesy eh?

Anyhow, let me just share with you how he made my day seeing this video. 

It's him singing "Tatsulok". This was taken the night before 2011 ends at his brother's residence. 

He is absolutely a frustrated rock star vocalist. But he was able to sing it well. I'm so proud of you babs.. hahaha

That’s all for today, I hope you did enjoy seeing the video.

Love lots,

pEarl J

“Start the Year with a Better Perspective”

Dear blogger,

This year is something that I look forward to, because it means “Starting the year with a better perspective” and when I say better perspective, it’s tantamount to saying “Goodbye to the past, Hello to the future”.

I have to continue what I already started and prove to myself that I can do better than before. This is the time that I have to seize every ounce of opportunity that will come along my way and never waste it. There’s no more room for mistakes now- only room for improvement. Gone are the days when all I want is to pamper myself.  

This year is the inception of stepping up to the ladder of victory. No matter how hard it is, I will keep on going, persisting and pursuing. If ever I fall, I will stand up the ground re-energized and revitalized.

Everything I aspire for will materialize for I am born to become a leader, born to defend others and born to make a difference.

Love lots,

pEarL J

A Letter that Shouldn't Be Shared

This was my letter to myself when I decided quitting Law School.  I hated myself for being immature and impulsive in making such a decision. But then I realize that everything happens for a reason, and that reason, though unfathomable will give you tons of realization and opportunity.

I am not here raving. I am here to share my thoughts with you and at the same time hopes you learn from it too.

This letter I believe is gross, so to speak. I honestly don’t want to post this but I hit the button anyway.

Dear pEarL,

I can’t understand you for being such a LAME. You’re engrossed with your comfort zones without figuring out what it might cause. You spoil your self-centered character from No-Limitation–Policy, using all of your precious time for immaterial things. You always like to pamper yourself and do whatever you want to do. For the past weeks, you were a brat. You intentionally forget what you promised to yourself. You neglected your studies up to the point of no return. You allow yourself from your selfish indulgence resulting to agony and regret.

Now, you feel sorry for yourself, but whatever you do you can never turn back time. You’ve made yourself believe in your lies, made yourself believe you change and made yourself a fool. It hurts you but the truth really hurts and no matter how you project deceit, it cannot be concealed in your eyes that you felt like a pathetic fool. All your efforts were put in vain and you could no longer undo it. So, you will live with it. You’re the worst person I’ve known and I pity you for that.

You like to make your own rules and break others rules just to give the impression of being wiser. You possess strong personality in order not to unfold the real you and the dilemma you’re into. You always wear your mask and hide your true self from pretentions and hypocrisy.

You will not change. You will always be apathetic and you will never earn true happiness. That’s who you are and whatever inside you stays in you.

The Future,

pEarL

That’s all for today; thank you dear blogger for being with me today.
