Merry Christmas For All

The Bells Are Ringing

Why I Value Christmas So Much
Christmas for me is not about the presents, gifts or the tv shows, for me it's the fact that I get to spend time with the people most important in my life, family and food. This year my family has only been altogether one time this year to celebrate my cousins 21st, this is a very poor effort and hopefully Christmas can make up for this terrible showing.

Presents And Food?
Like every young boy I wanted tons of presents for Christmas. I wanted to wake up on the morning of December 25th to the smell of bucket loads of presents. However this childhood dream for me never happened. I never woke up to any presents and now that I think about it I haven't had a birthday present in the last 5 years. So after all these past experiences with Christmas my mentality about toys and gadgets changed. Everything I gained was a privilege not a right, I begged to my parents but they would never succumb. Last year I cried for a Ps3 nonetheless my mum always resisted.

Food 
Besides the presents the family the other thing that will stick out the most is the food. Almost every gathering is about the food. Food allows people to relax and enjoy good things in their mouths. However last year my family found a way to ruin food. There was no cake, once I found out that this delicacy was not on the menu it ruined my festive cheer.

The Spirit
I find it very disappointing that the only reason my family will all be together is because of this festive day. My family has no rifts or arguments and everyone gets along well so I see no reason why we shouldn't have these whole family meetings every 2 months.

Too My Readers
All I want for you guys is a safe and happy Christmas. Enjoy the food and please don't act snobby when you receive a crummy gift from a relative, say thanks and put on a fake smile, there is no need to dampen the happy cheer. At least you guys will get something, this year it seems as if I'll get nothing (again) but this won't ruin my Christmas because at least I get to spend time with family. In my opinion there is nothing more important than Christmas than getting everyone together.

The End
That's it really. Take care guys and stay safe. Enjoy the holidays while it lasts in the festive spirit :).

The Sadness In Happiness

The Frowns In Upside Downs

The moment I step out of the school gates and onto the bus, my life will start a new leaf. I leave everything behind for a "hope" that I can play in my head but must maintain concentration for it to play out in real life. The next few years will currently be the most important of my life.

Thoughts The Night Before Last Day Of School

Risking It All

If you are not a detective then the reason for this article is change. I am leaving my friendly but unproductive high school for a more beneficial however unknown area. The former being as if my beloved home town. It's like a star basketball player leaving his home grown town for a more big shot city. It is a take all or take nothing, this time right now will make or break my life. Staring at the end of the barrel will be dignified success or horrendous pain and distraught.

The Outcomes Of It All

The reason for leaving my "small home grown town" is that I don't believe that the staff, or the people around me can guide me towards success, and when you know something won't work then it's best to avoid going down that route. However in another sense I feel as if I have outgrown the school, that now I am better and deserve something better. Maybe I am being a bit too egotistical yet this is one of the main reasons for my break away.

Leaving It All

When I leave that gate tomorrow, I would have left almost all but a few of my friends. There will be the hugs and the "that place is trash please don't go" nonetheless I still will go. I have made many great friends over the course of the last two years, and have enjoyed many great memories however they are roadblocks to my academic prosperity. They always trash talk and ramble on almost every single class that is unbearable to learn. Now I may come off as a meanie by saying this, but the truth is I just couldn't be taught anything with bafoons in my class (the real shame is that we are the top class).

The End Of The Year And Friends

At the start of the morning, everyone knew in the back of their minds that it was the last day with barely any students however it didn't really seem to effect many people and this carried out up until the end of school. So the whole day was pretty normal until the bell rang signalling the end of the year. This was especially important to me since I was leaving schools. Me and my close mate had our arms around each others necks, this maybe the last time I will see him so we walked slowly and reflected on some of our greatest moments. Finally the destination was reached, the line that separated the school and the gates, once I had crossed that line, everything will just be a distant memory.

The Cross

Me and my mate counted down slowly, "3,2,1" and that was it. Finally it was all over, a sense of relief but sadness hovered over me. The bus was already parked and waiting so the moment I stepped onto the bus it would be all over. In this brief 5 minute period I had given roughly about 25 hugs and 10 high fives but the moment I will always keep forever is at the end when everyone huddled together. I had been on good terms with just about everyone so I was a bit of a favorite. At this exact moment the world stopped for me and the feeling of being around all my mates for one last time will stay with me forever. However this feeling was short lived when the bus started leaving and I had to run in front it (not the smartest idea) so it could pick me up. Once I got on I could hear everyone chanting my name, they will be sorely missed but I know that we'll always be connected with social and media and all but mostly in my heart.

Coda

Throughout the year I believed that I was the center of everyone's attention (a bit of a attention seeker). I believed that I kept everyone together however the moment that I stepped outside the school gates, I realized. I wasn't the center of their world, they were the center of mine.

No Pain No Gain

Nothing To Give Up Means Nothing To Gain

Yesterday was the day that gave me belief. Hard work can take you anywhere.

Academics

Up until yesterday my academics were very shaky. I had barely passed my tests while also failing a few (especially Japanese). So my confidence in academics was not very high. Whenever I hear the word "test or exam" I freak out. That means that now I must study and hopefully conquer, however my attention span is the worst. One minute I'm reading my notes next moment i'm checking my phone. This is not a habit that gives me joy but not everyone's perfect.

Giving Up A Little

I love my technology. I can't go 30 minutes without my laptop, phone or tablet. They are just too important for me too lose. So my maths test was on Thursday so I thought if I started studying on Monday I would have a good chance to do well. After my shower I went straight to my bedroom, locked the door and studied. It didn't take long for me to pull out my phone. So as an alternative I would study and check my phone every hour. This worked out well and I might use this for the future.

A Bit Of Luck

I did all studying up until Thursday the day of the test. However there was a bit of luck involved. The test was super easy and I passed with flying colors. 97% was the highest I had ever gotten and I guess half of that studying was worth it.

Ahah! Well that's the article just a bit of motivation for you guys trying to pursue your dreams. Work hard and stay committed. 3 weeks till i'm on holidays so the blogs should start flowing then. Thanks for reading and till next time.

The Form

Deflated

My basketball team is in shambles. We have a bench warmer who can't defend, 3 ball hogs in the team and no true center.

Turnaround?

I do not know how to turn my team into winners.  The first season I played we went undefeated, and now this 2nd team is always being defeated. I just don't think we gel. Everything is all over shop. Where is the upside to this team, I do not see.

Stats Against Us

We have started the season 3-5 which is definitely not good. Sitting at  the bottom of the ladder is not pretty. But the main problem is we are all weak in defense. This team defensively is in ruins.

Hate Losing

I hate to admit but I am a sore loser. Mostly when I lose I play games and wash away the anger but it stings after every match. Trying to develop a good attitude to losing is hard when most of your childhood you won.

Right now I just gotta keep my head up and play good basketball. If I can deliver a good performance every week I will be satisfied. So I guess that's it thanks for reading friends and till next time :).

Little Steps

The Little Steps



One thing in life that bugs me in life is a humans misguided judgement. They all think that if they skip something the end product will still look great but isn't there a saying in life, there are no shortcuts to success!

Little Steps

Whenever I watch news or read newspapers it gives me that little extra belief in humanity when someone says that they only take things one step at a time. It tells me that they are not some cocky person who has their head up in space. Everything should be taken at a pace where everything is examined carefully and thoroughly so the chance of mistakes is rare. Building a puzzle is the same, everything fits together but you can only put one piece of the puzzle at a time (by yourself).

Sporting Wise

The same thing can be said about sports. The little passes throughout the movement is what creates the touchdown,basket,try,goal,point. However the misconception is that the scorer gets all the credit. It was a team effort and I think that is what people are missing whenever they go on a losing streak (this applies to me as well). So when the scorer or the man of the moment makes a mistake everyone is disappointed in them but you are only as strong as your weakest link.


Work Hard

Good buildup should lead to success. Taking things step by step (main backing of why this article is being written) and getting the job cleanly done by doing all the little steps thoroughly is what creates an authentic, genuine and crisp finish.

Post Article

I'm not sure I had enough energy to get this article out but I just pushed. I feel really deflated, my oztag team (the one I was talking about in my last article) was robbed out of a grand finals berth. Just in a really tired mood I guess, well that's the past and now it's time to move. Thanks everyone for reading and till next next time.

Taking Strides As We Go

Playing A Bit-Part Role

Ever had the feeling when you feel helpless. Ever had that feeling when you try hard but don't succeed? On Thursday I had this problem, I sat on the bench with a jarred thumb playing so many possibilities inside my head.

Thursday 14th November

I woke up this morning all pumped, why? Because today I was gonna play a sport I had longed to play for (competitively) Oztag. This game is a bit like nfl but the ball must not be passed forward and we get "tackled" by having tags on our belts stripped by the defensive team.

I arrived at school and straight away the mood was so bright. All the boys were excited and ready to go, everyone was happy, positive and bright. We were all just passing the ball until it was time to get on the bus.

So the bus ride is great. Everyone is cracking jokes and playing a few pranks on each other. We made a few jokes like "hey guys what happens if we go undefeated"? And another replies " Nah that won't happen".

We arrive at the playing field and all I see is just a jungle of children running around. As it was my first time playing this sport I was just in awe as I tried to capture the spectacle inside my head. So all the boys settle down and we find a place a sit and relax. There wasn't any preparation into this competition but our belief was there and isn't that all that matters?

1st Game

This was it, as the siren sounded for the start of the 2nd session (we didn't play first session since this round robin). And we're all pumped, the only negative was that I started on the bench but oh wells!. So we all gear up and suddenly it's kick off (whistle blows) and the team defends the first set well and now we got the ball. This where stars shine and we definitely got one in my team. My mates gets the ball in the 2nd tackle, makes the breaks and soon we're up 1-0. They try and fightback but our defense has them cooked. Halfway through the first half I get a chance on the field. I get my first tag in defense and this gives me a lot of confidence (too much confidence) and when I go in for my third tag BAM my thump feels immobilizes, I raise my hand signalling for the next sub to get ready.

Pain

My thumb is throbbing, I can barely move my hand without pain. I pause for a second thinking of all the ramifications that are just waiting to happen. Have I just let my team down? Now with this injury they are one man down for the next 3 games. With a few words of wisdom from the supervising teacher I rush to the staff tent ( they were only a few steps away from the field) and ask for ice. This cools my thumb and a little bit of ability has returned. We barely scrap a win out of our group stages and we are left with 4 injured players... As the game ends my teammates take a seat in our area counting the losses. There is a silence but we know that It will take the whole team to make it past the group stages.

Part 2 will be out when I recount all my blogs that I said would have a part 2. Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I've had quite a few tests but once there done the blogs will start flowing. Thanks for reading and until next time guys.

Thank You All So Much

Thanks For Everything!



September 29 is a memorable day for me. I was just relaxing doing nothing at the shopping mall waiting for family so I had a bit of time to reflect on life. And a flow of memories of people smiling popped into my mind and I realized, nothing in my life has made me or my family proud.

Family

So as I was sitting a bunch of memories flowed through my head. Sure I had won a basketball trophy and a few medals for Academic Achievement but I have never heard my Mum or Dad say "I'm proud of you son". My parents didn't even watch me in my basketball grand final victory, that's how much they cared. Then after a lost train of thought I knew that I wanted to spread my opinion on important matters.

My Ideas

So my first thought on how to spread my ideas was youtube. I watched all these humorous videos and thought "hey I could be funny like these guys" but then my family relatives would watch and I would be too embarrassed to say anything. Then I thought that I could make a youtube gaming channel but lets be honest, no one will watch you if you are bad at gaming. Then after that idea I thought Instagram famous but I'm not a cute girl so no one will even bother to visit my home page let alone getting followers. Even though on Sunday 27th of September I had no ideas on how to spread my ideas this day would be the platform of helping start what is now history.

The State Back Then

When I got home on that Sunday I was deeply depressed. I had been unable to walk to friends house's as I had been recovering from my fractured foot but the worst thing however was that I was injured during school holidays. Every single minute inside felt like a needle piercing into my body. I remember after I had taken my shower I sat at the dinner table and played "What Ifs" over and over inside my head for half an hour. I definitely didn't cry but I was deeply saddened and I did not say much that night. Looking back it was all justified, I was physically and mentally weak while at that time my life looked destined for failure.

The Inspiration

So I woke up the next day just surfing the web. I was a bit depressed at the moment so I was doing things halfheartedly. However it all changed, the answer to my problem was right under my nose the whole time. For about a year I had constantly been reading about Chelsea. Everyday I would type Chelsea in google and click news. I was inspired about how online journalists would type up an article for everyone to read for free. Daily I had been wowed by these opinions and the best thing about it, was that they were just normal average day people sharing their opinion. Then that night I was reading one of my favorite books. Steve Jobs the biography may not seem like a thick book but to me it is pretty thick. I really enjoyed the way Walter Isaacson  explained everything in such detail with just words. It was truly magnificent and I hope to grab a few of his other books. I woke up next morning with a whole new outlook on life, while I was eating thoughts processed throughout my mind. It was then that I knew I wanted something to do with words. Blog!

And The Rest Is History

Tuesday October 1st my first every blog entry. I admit it probably wasn't the best way to start off. I think if I could change 1 thing it would be to not talk about sports that much in the 1st blog entry. I remember getting my first few viewers I was so ecstatic (they were probably bots). I was a bit disheartened at first since I was barely getting any views but then a short time passed and I got my first up vote. I thought WOW! This is it I'm gonna give it my all now. If there is one thing I would change it is not blogging much in November. It has been 10 days in and I have only put out 3 blog entries this month.

The Happiness You Guys Have Given Me

Blogging has been one of the greatest if not the greatest thing I have ever done in my life. Every single view I get, gives mes that extra bit of energy to get through the day. I remember on the first day back to school I told everyone I had just started a blog and it would be great if you all checked it out. Well! I coped a lot of  flak for that. Every time I answered a question or did something average someone would say "are you gonna write a blog on that". Honestly you guys don't know how amazing you guys are. Every time someone asks me "what is your greatest accomplishment so far in life"? I say "starting my blog". Sure I get the few weird looks but I am a blogger and proud :).

Where I Wanna Take This Blog

Currently I am hovering over the 1000 view mark, a quarter of them are probably bots so lets say 750 human viewers. I was ecstatic to get 1 view so everything now is a bonus. However I am scared that I may be moving too slowly. 750 views is definitely great but I have barely any followers so that is something I really wanna work on. Right now I'm just taking it 1 step at a time. One blog entry after another and hopefully it all goes well. By next month I wanna hover around 2.5 k views while producing really good content. 

Answers In the Comments Or Email Please

I have a few questions I need answered to take this blog to the next level.

1. Is it better I focus on quantity or quality etc 2 long blogs in a week or 5 short blogs in a week?

2. Do you guys like my layout?

4. Is my spelling and punctuation good?

3. And finally what can I do to improve this blog?

Thanks You All For Reading

It is you guys that give me the motivation to blog everyday. I have been undermined a lot early in my blogging days but you readers give me so much energy. Thank you guys for supporting me throughout the month even when I didn't post that regularly, hopefully this special monthly anniversary blog entry makes up for my lack of posting. Thanks again and here's to good times ahead :).

Always Connected

Always Connected



In games like Clash of Clans people from such far away distances can all be connected as if they are family. Where did I get this article idea from? Read and find out.

I was talking to one of my clan members today. He asked a few of us where we all lived (countries). It was first the countries I hear most often Australia and America then there were a few that surprised me. One person said South Africa and another one a country I had never heard of.

I find it amazing that people from such far away distances can communication wise be so close in just a space of a few minutes. I guess that is how far wi-fi has taken us.

But What Is The Point Of This Article

Just something that I stumbled upon that amazed me today. Even though wi-fi has been around for years it truly hit me today how far communication on the internet really goes.

Well I guess thats the article. Sorry for them being so short. I will definitely try and get something long by the end of the week. But school just drains so much I come home and I am just so tired. Anyways thanks for reading and till next time.

Always Compared

Comparisons I Can Not Live Up To

In this brief article I am going to explain something that has always bugged me but its occurrence has been popping up a lot more recently.

My cousins are high achieving people. They all make it to University and are well educated high work ethic people. My family was so proud when my first cousin achieved such a high mark in HSC. That cousin now is the star of the family you could say, and at every family gathering there is always that mention of him being at the top of his game.

A few more cousins in and everyone that has had the chance to go to university has.

What Does This Mean?

I am constantly compared to my cousins now. Every single report, maths test and after every teach interview those names pop out of my Mums mouth. And I always reply to my Mum saying that the education system is broken but she always replies "Then how come your cousins made it through then"?

Well that's the article. Just something very quick and hopefully it provides a good idea of some of the main problems in my household. Anyways Thanks for reading and till next time.

From Top To Bottom (Literally)

The Week That Came From Hell

The last few days for me have been very challenging. Sorry I haven't been blogging lately but I am going through a mid life crisis something I seem to experience once every month. Last week things were looking up everything was in place for a happy year this week however, it feels as if I have been hit by a truck.

Seconds Feel Like Hours

Every second that ticks bye for me feels like an hour. Even writing this right now feels like I have been sitting here forever. Every time I win time just flies by but when I lose it feels like it's endless. I just really need this week to end.

I Stare At The Sky

I just stare at the sky wondering how it all went wrong. The winner becomes a big time LOSER and I always try to keep my head up but no resolve. Sometimes I think my mind is just playing games with me waiting till I crack, the only time you  know I will crack is when I fall silent. When I have nothing to say and my voice feels a little weak, that is the only time when you know I am not resolute.

BUT HOW?!

Last week I was riding a cloud. Everything seemed to go right for me even when I was off my game. Now even when I am on my game it just does not click. I had just carried my basketball team twice to victories and this week my magic just disappeared.  If there was 1 thing in my life personality wise I wish I could change! It would be to always be consistent.

Yeah I guess that's pretty much it. Lately I've just been lying on my bed. Playing those missed opportunities over and over inside my head. Sorry for not posting lately I hope this article makes up for it. Thanks guys for reading and till next time.

The Wasting Of Precious Sport Time

The Wasting Time

Today in sport all I heard was moans and groans as the casual teacher somehow managed to ruin one of the easiest in the world.  Physical education teachers always complain that students are too noisy and rude but maybe if we actually played a game and skipped this idiotic mini game crap then maybe kids would not get angry. 

Just Let Us Play

I do not get the theory behind sport theory. Who talks about sport for 50 minutes. Whoever made up this idea is very impractical as I get very restless in these lessons. 

Easy Sports Turn Into History Lessons

I hate it so much when teachers have to take 15 minutes on how to play a simple sport such as football or basketball. Is it not in maths that we start with the basics 1+1=2 and so on and so on. They why can it not be like that in sport. Just tell us the simple easy steps like dribble the ball and do not take more than 2 steps when not dribbling and it's golden.

Alright thats the article. Sorry for it not being too long I have been a bit lazy since school and all. Thanks for reading and see you all tomorrow

The People Around You

The Weakness In Modern School

Today I truly realized one of the biggest blunders in society. How can 1 teacher control 30 students? Of course there are going to be complications. But this can all be directed to the start, who's idea was it for 1 adult to control 30 sugar high kids?

Actually Trying To Learn

I felt pretty tired late into the day so I wanted to digest some facts into my brain. However the other 10 people though differently. They went on and on and just could not contain themselves for even a minute. I probably act like this a lot and if I was another student I would probably find myself annoying. Just why are the number so imbalanced? Maybe if teaching offered more money or rights then we would not have classes that exceed 25 students.

Too Distracting

If there are 29 bafoons in the class, then it is really hard for you not to become one. Eventually the teachers become irrelevant and students develop this energy and it goes crazy. Especially if they are teaching something that does not flavor with the students. They will go bezerk and teachers might as well say goodbye to any learning if they do not plan anything that stimulates students minds.

Teachers Scared Of The Critique The Students?

I do not know how many times this has happened. When the students become the teachers it always cracks me up. When the students "forcefully direct" the teacher to do what they want to do. This is how true teachers are determined and the weak ones will do whatever his/her children say. However if the teacher do not follow through then in lessons she should expect to cop a lot of "why do we do this miss? And the "I don't cares".

It All Adds Ups

In the end it all adds up. Students who receive and actually have a good mentality and attitude at home should succeed. Because what are they doing at school, slacking off. Teachers have lost that strong DNA in them and now students control the classroom. Lets put it this way, if the teacher got through the daily work and has time to set out homework yes HOMEWORK then the lesson was a success.

Alright that's the article. Been a bit tired lately so sorry for not posting for I think the last 4 days. I will probably try and give more of my opinions on schools so if anyone from the education departments wants to listen to more of my opinion as a student feel free to send me a Gmail. Thanks and see you guys next time.

Severely Sick

The Sickeness

It all started yesterday at about 8pm. Life was fine and everything was running smoothly until...

I got hungry then ate an apple to cap off the night. Then once I finished the apple my stomach was just like NOPE!

And now I am sitting here mulling over the pain in my stomach. I didn't get much sleep last night as it felt as if my stomach had a buffalo inside it. I woke up needing to puke straight away.

My sickness is probably diarrhea and I am drinking quite a bit of fluids so I do not get dehydrated. Any tips on how to tackle diarrhea? Please share in the comments below.

Thanks for reading really tired and till next time :).

The Lifeless Days

The Meh Days 

Everyone has had these days. The days where all you wanna do when you arrive home is nothing. The days that give a face where caring is the last thing to do. When feeling any emotion is out of the question and just the face of confusion hits. In this article I discuss why people are always feeling meh (nothing much).

Nobody There

Most people suck it in but I know countless friends who always feel abandoned. Even the strongest of people crack whenever they are alone. The feeling when even the smallest mistake in life will be big news for everyone else. And whenever they need a friend for them, no one is there. Little things like not responding to texts really hurts and gives that person a sense that they are not worthy or wanted, this is one of the things that makes them feel meh.

Not Doing What They Want

Everyone has dreams whether it's travelling the world or achieving a dream job however frankly most people do not achieve what they want in life. They tell themselves that someday they will do whatever they want but never bother chasing it. This leaves anguish and a lot of beating themselves up and will scar them everyday until they get that dream job. If you are doing something that you do not want too, of course you will always feel unworthy and uncaring all the time.

Attitude

I say this in most of my blogs but this is really important. It is your attitude towards whatever you are doing that decides whether it is a meh day or not. It was what you think inside your mindset. Think about everything that you like and dislike, now it is the way you view these things that decide your energy towards them. It is these little things that decide how you feel for the day.

Alright, that is the article thanks for reading. Please follow me and bookmark my page if you enjoyed and don't forget to share my blog on twitter on facebook. Cheers and have a great day.

The Heat (Weather)

The Warmth 

Currently my country is in spring however it feels as if i'm in summer. I can barely stand in the sun now for 10 seconds before my neck becomes a wet tea towel. I remember back in winter when it was really cold and always rainy that I would love it when summer comes, well that ain't going well.

This Year In Particular

It is this year in particular that has been bugging me. For the pat few years the weather has been bearable however this year it has been horrendous. Temperatures easily surpassing 34 degrees and staying at the level far beyond midday. 

The Beach

I think almost every kids dream while in the summer is to ditch everything and just go to the beach or the pools. The warmth is unbearable and I think schools should have at least one day in the spring and summer where they take students to the beach.

How To Keep Yourselves Chilly

Unless you work in an air conditioned office, good luck surviving the warmth for the rest of the summer. Stay chilly and sports should be laid back.

That is the article thanks for reading and please email anything you would like for future posts.

Holding Grudges

Holding Grudges

Ever had that one person that you just can not stand. That one person who's very existence annoys you. Well in my life I have encountered many family members like this and in this article I discuss grudges.

How Do You Form Grudges?

Friendships can be forged in a second but take forever to rebuild. It is tough thinking when you know that one wrong move could put you into the bad books. Some people have more patience than others but in almost every friendship there will be bumps along the road and it is how people react, that will then decide if the friendship will continue.

Staining Memory

The reputation people get when they screw up once in a while. Like for example someone steals another persons belongings. For the rest of their life their name will be thief.  " Hey thief could you lend me your pencil"?

How To Reforge The Bridge

It is so hard to rebuild a bridge. I resolve grudges with time (depending on the incident) and slowly the incident fades, time can always rebuild things however if it something really important either you or your friend will chase you down because they really care. And friends or colleagues who really care about you can most of the time be forgiven for one miss off.

That is the article thanks for reading. Family obligations have taken up my time but I admire the patience. Take care and have a good day :).

Mistakes! Cheer Em Up

Happy After Mistakes

The sports that are based off trust. Lets see cricket, volleyball, doubles tennis so many sports that give a break to watch your teammates perform. There are so many life situations when it is all about other humans trying to overcome a hurdle. Situation or Sport I explain the ways to improve your colleagues performance.

Positive Feedback Did that person make a huge mistake that may cost the outcome of good? DO NOT act like a really bad person and tell them that they should quit. Cheer em up make them happy, secretly compare their mistake to a larger one. So e.g "Hey Marco don't worry about that mistake, Charlie made an even bigger one a few weeks back". Encouragement is always better and make them feel well is the key.

Constructive Criticism Always be helpful. Maybe hint a few things that that person could have done better. Why are you blaming that persons mistakes when in human life everyone makes mistakes. Help that person fix that mistake while acting as polite as possible.

Always Next Time Unless you're going to be fired because of someone else ( I would get really angry if this happened to me) then always cheer that person up. Look at the postivies, hey at least it is not the end of the world.

Alright that is the article. Thanks for reading and follow if you enjoyed, Cheers :).

Defying The Pain

Defying The Pain For All The Gain

I watched a Ted video once (not the movie, google it) and my whole outlook on life changed. I thought that talent in a particular area was 99% inbred and 1% skill. So every time I failed a subject I used the same excuse, I was born with it. But then like I said earlier I watched the Ted video and then the way I viewed talent changed.

Determination

Talent can be born however the only way for talent to be nurtured is with determination. That is how life tests you. It will constantly try to break your self belief down however if you truly are gifted in that area of skill then you will stand up once you get knocked, time and time again. If you know that what you are doing is right, then determination should always be there.

Investment In Time

I am truly inspired whenever I watch a comeback movie. The nostalgia i get whenever a person recovers after a setback is amazing to watch. I remember watching multiple movies when a child fails miserably at their sport and then after a lot of hours on the training ground, grit their way into the team. So if you truly want to succeed in an area then the only way is PRACTICE.  The more time you invest the better you will be overall. That is why in sport, there is more time training rather than playing.

No Talent At All?

Everyone is good at something. Just keep on looking, no one can be bad at everything since then you are good at nothing. See! so talent is everywhere. Everyone gets setback, just maintain a positive outlook and eventually you will find something you excel out.

Too Long Didnt Read?

Success is achieved with determination. The more you put in the more you get out. And everyone is goo at something just keep looking.

Thats the article thanks for reading sorry it was not too long just a bit tired the sun is blazing. If you guys are wondering why I haven't posted here for a while it is because I have been working on my gaming one

What Gives You Confidence?

What Makes You Confident?


Confidence is what drives emotion, strength and lust. It provides us with belief and it always found and lost at certain times. But there is no other emotion in the world I would trade for if I had to trade confidence. Here in this article I discuss what I have seen give people confidence or have experienced myself.

1. What You Think Of Something, This is the most important thing in delivering confidence. Your view on what you are doing is vital to becoming that confident person. So lets say for example you are playing a sport. If you believe that you are good enough or even say better than who you are playing against it gives you confidence right? However when you take on opposition that is clearly better than you, you just disappear into your shell. It is these views that we rub onto ourselves that decides our confidence.

2. The People Around You Sometimes it is amazing, when the people around you exert this influence that can make you so calm and confident. Work is so much better if your co-workers actually know what they are doing. Once you establish trust you know that there is always an emergency call right next to your office or wherever you work.

3. That First Time I am pretty sure every one of you guys/girls have gotten nervous at some stage in your life. But it is really hard when you have to learn something new and then once you do it for the first time e.g Doing a speech in the back of your mind, the next time you speak the comfort of doing a speech before should quench those nerves and provide you confidence.

That is the article guys/girls thank you for reading and sorry for not posting yesterday. If you liked it please follow me on Google + and till next time.

Always Tired

Always Tired


Every single time, no mater where I am and no matter what I do I am always tired. I do a little bit of sport after about half an hour i am tired. Same with sitting on the couch, get tired of watching and my body is tired. But where it's the worse is when I wake up, I though having a rest meant that my body is replenished, but no once I wake up I just wanna go back to bed and then the whole process just starts back up again.

What Makes Me Always Tired?

I think lately my energy rates have been crappy because of my pantry. I barely have any sugary foods in my cupboard and that is causing me a huge deal of problems. So you could say that my energy rates are dependent on the foods I eat and I do not think rice is enough for me to last through the day.

Yawning -.-

This really sucks when I am at school. A teacher is teaching a really boring lesson and I cannot help it but to give just a little yawn and once you do that you will regret it straight away. Because then the teacher thinks that you are too good for them and it just becomes a nightmare while you re awake, or asleep.

Cannot Do Anything

So since I have no energy I am practically screwed. Simply I just cannot do anything then just put my head on the table. Every single day I tell myself "Tomorrow I will have the energy", Well that is useless since I never do it just becomes a useless saying. It sucks so to sum up, depending on what food I have in the pantry is how energized I will be during the week and this week is not the week.

Alright thank you everyone for reading the article. And if you liked it please follow me and yeah, have  a great day :). N if you love games don't forget to check out my other blog http://gaminginperspective.blogspot.com.au/ Cheers :

Click Clack Sit Back

Click Clack Sit Back

Having the chance to relax is very rare nowadays. Everyone's busy with their job and this leaves less time to just click clack sit back. Here are a few ways to make yourself time so you can enjoy yourself.

1. Clear It All Got a heavy burden that you need finished. Why not do it after you read this blog? Get all your work up to date and you'll feel great. The feeling you get when everything's off your chest is amazing and then you will finally pay all your attention to relaxing. Or you could also do your work but by bit then there should be that special day off.

2. Sit Down And Nap A great way to relax is sleep. Just sit on your couch and then while you slowly doze off BAM! Your asleep.  And then you wake up a few hours later feeling fresh and ready to finish off the day. It all starts on the couch or bed and then your asleep.

3. Or Just Relax Sometimes the best solution when you've got a pile of work in front of your face is too just sit back and relax. But the only problem with this one is that if you didn't do the work when you were relaxing then you probably won't do the work when you wake up. Just sit on your cocah or bed and give yourself time to refresh and life should look a lot better after that nap. But if you get fired from work because you didn't do any work don't blame me since you can do it after you wake up :).

 Sorry for the short articles lately just been busy anyways that's the article. If you liked it please add me to circles and share. Thanks for reading

Waking Up

Waking Up
Ding....Ding...Ding.... ARGHH the noise of the alarm bells. One of the most annoying things you could hear is the sound of waking up. For 8 hours its as if your in this bubble of relaxation, then it just goes poof. Having trouble waking up? Yeah I have the same problem but here are 3 ways I wake myself up.

1. Brute Force The alarm bell rings eh, and you don't wanna get up and your just lying there snuggling with your blankets. Then what I suggest is the brute wake up. Just throw away all your blankets and once you get hit with the blistering cold you're bound not to bother going back to bed.

2. Brute Force And Relaxation Enjoy a little bit more then. Are you a real snoozer? then set your alarm clock about 10 minutes before your supposed to wake up. Enjoy a bit of a nap then use the brute force tactic.

3. Just Snooze Then And finally, if everything else fails might as well just sleep in since you don't care about your life. Go enjoy your nap get fired for coming late every day of the week. If your nap is more important than your job or family obligation then you are definitely better spending your time with your bed.

Please Comment Or Gmail it's starting to get a bit lazy since I'm not getting any feedback. Oh yeah and I go back to school tomorrow and sorry American Readers but because of school my blogs will be published at around 10 pm for you guys so:( sorry for the inconvenience but at least you can read them in the morning. Have a nice day cause I know I wont with school at the back of my mind and thanks for reading.

School Holidays Over! What Already :(

Bye Bye Freedom

For many kids the last day of holiday is the worst. The silence and the trauma (over exaggerated) you feel when you wake up in the morning is incredible. Everything you do is dimmed down to pain as in the back of your mind it's the inevitable.  Schools Back -.-

For many parents, this is the time that they can sit back and relax. Their 2 weeks of suffering is gone and now us kids have to suffer for the next 3 months.

Wonder!

And then I wonder? what could I have done these holidays to make it better. I'm just speechless because in the next 36 hours i'm back to school. It feels as if it was yesterday when It was my last day of school and now I'm back already,.

But How Come I Don't Wanna Go Back To School?

Firstly the fact that I have to wake up at 7 in the morning is not very ideal. Secondly I feel as if since I'm spending my time at school, my time is limited to do the things that I wanna do. What would you rather do? Writing notes about how to describe adjectives in Japanese Or Blog with your fellow bloggers. And I feel as if im on a treadmill. I'm walking and walking but getting no where :(. Plus if I dont make it too University then these last 14 years of my life (+preschool kindergarten) have been a bit of a waste.

Good Ride

My holidays was a good ride while it lasted. Waking up at 9 everyday to relax and just regather myself, I just wish that it would last a little bit longer maybe an extra week or 2. But know all I can do is develop the right attitude to get through my last term.

So Much Success Around The World

It's a bit hard to learn when you know that people who have dropped out of school have gone on to achieve such great things. Take Sir Richard Branson for example, He left school and look at him now. CEO of Virgin (the company that provides airways, phone billing and even space travel). Then we have Bill Gates the list just goes on and on it just boggles your imagination. Now I definitely do not want to drop out but it's just amazing as the saying goes "If you chase your dreams, You can get anywhere".

Alright thats the article. We went a little off track though but thanks for reading this rant about school. Regarding going back to school I will only be able to post 1 article a day once I get back so i'm really sorry about that but hey at least I get to blog once I come home. If you liked it you can add me to circles and thanks for reading, have a good day :).

The Education Dilemma

High School And The Flaws In It 

If you ever went to high school or are currently in one this article is for you. I share my opinions as an Australian high school student and what I believe to be the flaws and mistakes that I experienced so far in my schooling life. I may be wrong but here it goes.

"Co-Curricular" Mess

In most schools it's Maths and English that dominate studies and rightly so. These subjects are needed in everyday life however it's what follows that causes the problem. In the first two years of Australian high school, students are unable to control what they want to learn and thus this makes me very angry. At least 40 minutes a day i'm wasting my time in a study that simply 'I do not care about'.  And then whenever you try an give "constructive criticism" to a "co-curricular teacher", straight away us students get brushed away. Yes I know the teachers went to University and we didn't but whenever a student knows their right it's like a pocket rocket, they shoot up and then go down because of the teachers incompetence.

Teachers

It's such a shame isn't it. There are barely any teachers now that can really connect too you emotionally. As a student I want a teacher that I can look up too, a  teacher that I would share a few secrets with and a teacher than I can have a have a bit of a joke with. However also a teacher that will push us and give us good reasons for it and will put in effort for his/her children. How can I be motivated to work if my teacher just sits there and makes us copy off the board and hands out worksheets like their food samples.

Which Way Of Learning Is Better

Brute force like copying off the whiteboard or carefully planned lessons that gives us variety. Out of all my music lessons I only remember one clearly. Every lesson my music teacher would just spit out facts and names of instruments I never thought existed  and it never sunk in. However there was this one really good lesson where she put her own time into making a great crossword and for the first time it looked like she actually cared and because she had invested her time into us kids, the class were well-behaved for the whole lesson. Now I'm not saying that teachers should always give us crosswords and free time however all I want is proof from the teachers that she/he actually cares about us and would spend her time to enrich our learning.

Lower Ranked!

I'm sure its not very pleasing too be told that you're inferior to the top class. And I know last year I was at near rock bottom of the class placings and multiple times when my class wasn't on their best behavior straight away the teacher would be like "Why can't you be like the top class"?. And every time there was actually a good lesson the feel good vibe is wrecked when the teacher slips in that sneaky comment like "Today on your behavior I thought you guys were the top class". 

Expectations

Eventually I did work hard enough to get to the top class, and what a mistake that was! The difference was amazing compared to rock bottom all the way to the top of the food chain. Whenever I did a test fail or pass the teacher would always cheer me up. 80% very good job 55% not the best job but at least you passed :) 45% don't worry you got it next time. Then when you get to the top your always expected to be good at every subject and whenever you got your test results it was always the worst.  Failed: No comment for the whole lesson the teacher would stay away from you. Around 50-75%: I was hoping you would get a bit higher. At the top: Just a quick mention then straight away the teacher starts reviewing the test.

Part 2 will be coming out later in the week. I go back to school this week :L. Hope this article gave you a good insight into my high school life and please share yours in the comment section down below. If you liked it please follow me or you can add me to your circle.

Pressure And Stress (Insight)

Pressure And Stress




Oh Pressure!

Stress/Pressure.......  Once it's finished it goes two ways, to joy and to heartbreak. The thing is you can't prepare for it, there is no training for pressure you're either in it or out. At least one time in your lifetime you've felt the long cold silence and the scary stare from your boss or teachers that makes you shiver in your boots. But the question is why do we have pressure? And stress? you're probably thinking where is this going?

Attitude

It's all about your attitude to pressure, you either dread it and do absolutely nothing or take it as a challenge, obstacle and take it on. Its all about your mindset yes you. If there's a maths test tomorrow you either mourn and gloom all day or you can challenge it to get at least over 80%.

How To Avoid Stress?

It's easy you've got a couple of assignments?  Definitely don't leave for the last minute or the last couple of days for that matter. I've had many assignments that I just brush over because their you know shooosh don't tell anyone but I bursh them over because their co-curricular :L. If their not part of my major learning whats the point? Maybe I should leave this for another article.

That's the article :(  thanks for reading and please follow me if you liked it. :)

The Struggles In Life

I'm still in school but over these last few years I've experienced a lot.  It seems as if every time my life was looking up something would just hit me and I would come crashing down. I remember all those times I couldn't sleep because some burden was coming over me and every time and I mean every time there was a lot of pressure on me I crippled, crumbled and fell flat on my face. The last few years of my life have definitely been the roughest.

The Moments

1 thing I hate about life, it's that the negatives always outweigh the positives. It's like whenever I achieve something great it only lasts about a day however when I do something really bad it sticks with me forever. There's so much pressure on you and I to always give 100% but no one is perfect and there are always those moments that you play in your head over and over again.

The Dream As A Kid

I pondered day and night figuring out the answer to true success. Like almost every kid all I wanted in life was money and fame. However with all the problems in my life I knew that I would be the last person to achieve glory.

The Shape I'm In Now

Right now I'm just sitting at home recovering from a fractured foot. This will most likely rule me out for a couple of weeks of basketball even though I've recovered from a fractured wrist :(.

Alright that's it for the day. Thank you everyone for reading and I hope you enjoyed. Please comment in the section below any mistakes I may have made or any of your own personal experiences :).


Abit About Myself

Hi Everyone!

You know how people describe themselves in two words well I still haven't figured out what two words I would use. I guess all I can say is I hope this blog will help me found those words but anyways I guess I should probably talk about myself

Sports

The sport I'm playing right now is basketball but I have a sport attention span so next year I'll probably be playing something else. However my favorite team in the nba is the Miami Heat, the way they play is exceptional and everyone gives all the attention to Lebron James however Dwayne Wade is my most favored player in the heat line-up. His ability to sink in baskets when hes been pushed around is exceptional and hes just really quick.

Chelsea

As much as I love the Miami Heat, Chelsea will be my favorite team forever. I remember in primary school everyone and I mean just about everyone used to be Manchester United fans and that began my interest in soccer or should I say football. I went home that day downloading I think it was fifa 10 on my laptop and I remember opening the program ready to play Manchester United the team that everyone was talking about however I scrolled over to their emblem only to find out that it was locked on the demo version....... my heart sunk however I was still determined to play another team and there they were I flicked through the teams to find the one that I will stick with forever Chelsea. And I still remember torturing defenders with Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard while keeping clean sheets with John Terry and Ashley Cole. Those memories of tearing apart enemy teams on beginner :L will stay with me forever.

I guess that's it, hopefully I've explained a decent detail about myself and I plan to blog other categories like Lifestyle and Technology rather than just sport. Anyways hopefully I didn't bore you guys out so you'll stick for my future blogs and yeah.

If you liked it please share and comment down below anything I did wrong and thanks for reading Cheers Bobby Brah
