smack it!

A couple of hundred years ago,
Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. "Never leave that 'til tomorrow which you can do today" he said. This is the man who discovered electricity.


Butterfly_kisses_3You think more people would listen to what he had to say.
I don't know why we put things off,
but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure....fear of rejection...


sometimes the fear is just of making a decision,
because what if you're wrong?
What if you're making a mistake you can't undo?


          "The early bird catches the worm."
          "A stitch in time saves nine."
          "He who hesitates is lost."
We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs... heard the philosophers... heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time,
heard those poets urging us to seize the day.


Still, sometimes we have to see for ourselves.
    
* We have to make our own mistakes.
      
* We have to learn our own lessons.
We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore.
Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant.
That knowing is better than wondering... that waking is better than sleeping,

and even the biggest failure... even the worst...
BEAT THE HELL OUT OF NEVER TRYING.

P.S.
Pumpkini got this long quote from -Dr.Grey
(yah know..from that series)

DEAD END signs...




" i like DEAD END signs...
  i think they're kind...
  they at least have the decency
  to let you know that you're going nowhere..."

                                 
-Bugs Bunny
this quote was sent to me from a friend.
i think it was quoted from bugs bunny
(yah...the
"watz up doc??" cartoon character)

well, i thought about it for a while and said to my self na
"oo nga 'no.. sana may
Dead End signs nalang din wherever road you go even in your life's journey... at least even in afar, you can see that you're going nowhere..
at least may time ka pa to change route... and you won't be wasting your time to go ahead even if  DEAD End na pala patutunguhan mo..."


oo nga naman... "DEAD END signs have the DECENCY to let you know that you're going nowhere..." but what if you've gone that far already...???!!
you know that the road you've chosen is dead end for you.

(in the first place, you know that you shouldn’t be there!!!)
you know that you're lost...yet you still keep on going... and goin'...
'til you realized that you've wasted so much of your time and energy...
and everything is so wasted!!


nakakainis 'yung ganun'!!! (it's soooooo sickening!!!)

you can't shift gear...turn around and change your route...  too late for you!
the only thing you can do is finish what you've started and hope that
after you've arrived in that DEAD END sign.... somewhere beside that sign, there's a little
alternative road towards your destination... a destination that you've been long anticipating for...

who knows... there really is!
a short cut road
to a place WHERE YOU REALLY SHOULD BE...
