"The nice part about being a pessimist is that you're constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised."
-being a pessimist is not that bad after all is it? =) somehow, always asking people to stay optimistic isnt that good haha. it's tough to stay optimistic, and i don't see why people have to force a smile to hide all the unhappiness within. though admittedly, im one of those hah.
"Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon."
-aim realistically. as long as u have an aim, you'll strive to acheive it. i'd aim a lil' higher though, so that at least when u don't hit your target, the standard will still be there. [isn't that what ny always taught us hurhur]
"Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another."
-if you've got nothing good to say, don't say anything at all. sometimes, just a simple smile helps alot =)
