My Grandpa's Advice


It's been 2 years now when my grandfather passed away. I can still remember how painful those days are for me. It is really hard to feel when someone dearest to you is now gone. However, only the physical presence of my grandfather is gone, not his memories, at least for me. We shared a lot of good times together. Even though he was strict sometimes, I'm still thankful for him because of all the lessons he had taught me. It made me a greater person. He also taught me how to save, how to be a good neighbor, and most importantly, how to be a good child.

One of the most unforgettable advices my grandfather has shared me is the essence of being persistent and patient. Once he told me that these are the qualities that you need to possess in order to become successful in life. He was a businessman back then and most of his business was good because he was good at it. He was very patient when it comes to managing everything. Sad to say that he's gone now. I miss him a lot. Yet, forever, I will cherish all those times we had, and all those lessons he had taught me.

I Am a Dreamer!


I am a 21 year old dreamer. When I was still young, I dream to becoming rich someday. Yeah, and I think everyone desires to become rich in one way or the other. This is the reason why we acquire education, we look for jobs and explore new things. However, I realized that that was a stupid dream of mine. Why? Because I thought being rich is the only way I can have to be happy. Well, I though it wrong.

Money is not the answer for everything. I'm not saying that being rich is bad. I don't condemn rich people. I'm not a bitter person. What I am trying to say is that, you don't have to be rich to experience happiness. You can find happiness through simple things. With people around you. People who care for you and love you.

Your wealth will pass away, but the friendship you have with your neighbors, friends and families will stay for a lifetime. I am still dreaming to become rich someday, it's not yet too late I know, but I won't forget special people around me because though them I can find the real happiness of life. Money is nothing without them.
