Do you celebrate the things you have?




Everyone has something to revel. It’s just that people are either oblivious or so self-restrained that they never let themselves go enough to savour it. Until later, I too was one such person.

To me, gratitude is the sincerest form of celebration. I have been grateful for many people in my life. However, I had no memory of being thankful for any of the things I possessed.

Fortune and misfortune come and go as they please. I was ignorant of it. Too late came the dawning realization, after I unwittingly lost the most of what I had in my hold. So as all say, it's better to acknowledge the things you have before you regret after losing them.

To be grateful for anything is to be aware of its value: physically, mentally and emotionally. The more I rejoiced, the more I became conscious of the abundance that I had and began to indulge further in my daily life. Every once in a while, I take time to recollect the happenings in my life and pen them down. Sometimes, I even capture my feelings then and there, with a smile.

A genuine smile, at the recollection of your memories, is also a form of celebration. So yes, I do celebrate the things I have now.

I don’t, in general, care about an artist’s recommendations if they don’t match my taste, but Jongin’s recommendations intrigue and fascinate me to a great extent.

Ten basic tips (warning) for amateur story-writers from a reader.

For those who feel like your story sucks, fret not, because it doesn't. Your story simply lacks something and has to be crafted enough yet.  No ideas are bad ideas when it comes to writing a story. The trick for a good story lies not in the ideas, but in the way they are executed.  A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people                                                                                                                         -Thomas Mann True to this quote, writing is hard, and we have no choice but to learn it the hard way. Even if you aren't any good at writing, t here's always room for improvement to those who ...

Do you think it's okay to compare yourself with others?

There isn't a person I haven't compared myself to. Not even the fictional characters. I compare myself to almost everyone I come across, regardless of age. In a sense to find the similarities and differences between myself and them, both physically and mentally. People say, "Look in the mirror...that's your competition." Though I don't completely dissent from this view, I do think competing with others is as important as competing with our past self. If there is no comparison, there is no competition. Without comparing myself to others I wouldn't know where I stand today. You need comparison in life to drive you more, to push yourself one step ahead and to upgrade yourself to higher levels. Yet the only satisfaction I get in comparison is when I do it with myself. If I'm better than yesterday, I feel proud; if not, I feel the need to strive for better. Either way, I believe self-comparison is fine and doesn't harm you in any way.  I...
