desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Words can’t exactly describe what I’m feeling right now. I can’t explain it. It leaves me with some sort of longing. And I havent felt this way since I last read a book written by N. Sparks. *grins* Yup! *raises eyebrow* If I know, you were expecting something intense or something, isnt it? Not now, I suppose…even though I am feeling quite anxious about something.

I bought it after I registered last Saturday. A new book. I had to admit, I found the first part rather dragging. I found no depth at all. Or maybe I’m not really made of a critic’s material. But I guess that’s part of the author’s style in writing. And, frankly speaking, it did turned out wonderful in the end, as usual. I don’t know how some people do it…but they have this way of twisting the story making me feel goosebumps. At yun lang ang isang sign para masabi na nagandahan ako…or in SirP’s term…naantig ang puso ko *taas kilay*

This week seemed to be rather different. I don’t know what. It just does. I have no idea what came over me, but somehow I enjoyed studying more this week. I cant actually say that I havent enjoyed studying before. It was just I simply forced myself to enjoy studying before, I guess. I just viewed studying as a necessity. It needed to be done. It came as something automatic to me. And by considering studying as an enjoyment of sorts, it does pulls you up one way or another. So I suppose what they, whoever they are, have said is actually true. It is only in loving that you bring out the best in you. And it is only in loving that you learn to finally live. *pauses* erm…it looks like nobody has said that before. Maybe or maybe not. Sabihin na lang natin na ako ang gumawa niyan! Lol.

Sometimes I enjoy it too. I guess it's with the mood or something.
