Motivational Speech

I was blown away by a motivational speech that was held in the school hall on Friday. The speech was given out by a former head prefect who had dedicated so much to the school in every possible chances that she had encountered. She advised us to 'Explore' every single thing in this world whenever things come to us naturally. If it doesn't, it is rational for us to go seek it for our own benefits. She used all her knowledge in high school to survive in her college life. The survival that she was saying was in a way that, she did many events planning, entered marathons, goes to camp, learn to become a leader, etc etc. She was a bright student in her high school years based on everything she told us about herself. She was a girl who every girl wished to be. But something else caught my attention. She mentioned to us that each and everyone of us are different. We should never copy anyone because we are individuals which differ from everyone in everything. In that vivid point, I finally realized that I couldn't try to become like someone but to create that someone in myself and be me. That was the answer to it all.

I thought about a whole lot of stuff after that from every possible angles that I could think of. I was a musician, I wanted to go for a music camp. One that is more like camp rock. Besides that, I love doing volunteering work and I have never experience such things. Therefore, I trust myself to take the challenge of giving up to the society. I would rather be someone beneficial to others rather than a nuisance. Next, I was a person who thinks language is important. I would love to enhance my knowledge in English. Thus, I was thinking of joining competitions that may bring me one step ahead to my goal. Other than that, I love going for homestay programmes because it is the perfect time to socialize with people on the other side of the world about their cultures, traditions and country. I had gone once to a country where it was hard to speak. I did caught their language from the beginning of the year but explaining to them about my country was a bit off for me. Besides, I was quite young during that time.

I just hope these opportunities would be up for grabs soon enough. I just wish my life would be much more adventurous with all the brilliant stuff coming about. I will explore and I will try and seek new things in my life.

My Dream Occupation

When I was younger, I had a dream of becoming an actress. I wanted to be on stage with the spotlight glaring on me, indicating what a star I could be. I was interested in this especially after my dear beloved parents brought me to watch a play at our famous theatre stage that is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The day I saw a beautiful and stunning actress standing on the stage acting her heart out was the day I, Helinna pursued of becoming an actress even though I was only a girl at such tender age. It made me want to go beyond my capabilities and who knows, I might even be in Broadway by the time I graduated from high school! Nothing is impossible when I see it from my point of view. I may not be a good actress but one shall learn to anticipate their dream. So what if I may be a lousy actress at first? Doesn't everyone learn to become something they want to be? Of course, that is the true question that we all should think about. Sure, there are prodigies in the world who are naturally brilliant in a way that they are gifted. But as for a normal human being, being good in something must be obtained by going through the process of practicing and learning. That is one thing that we must not escape from because learning is an important process in life. And when something goes wrong, we must go on finding ways to fix it using knowledge that we have learned before in life. That is why I believed that this dream of mine could be pursued only if I am sincere and honor in achieving it. If I am not, then my heart and mind would be the one suffering compared to any other organs of mine. Therefore, I choose to endure a period of time feeling the hardship and then flourish my success rather than living my life as a person who's heart and mind is not in her occupation dream.

My dream changed after that. It was predictable because I was very young. There was still a lot of thinking to do in order to decide where your life is going to. Besides that, a little girl still does not have a mature thinking and hence, they cannot decide on big things that easily. Soon, my late grandmother started questioning me about what I wanted to be. Everyday she would go on, opening the topic even as I was playing with my toys. She made a decision for me to be a lawyer. I would always repeat the word lawyer over and over again whenever that question was brought out to me. I was at first clueless about why she was always asking me about this question but then I finally realized that she just wanted the best for me. Sometimes, I find that this topic about what I want to be was the bonding between my late grandmother and I.

When I was in primary school, I thought about various other dreams that I may be interested in. I had thoughts of being a doctor, teacher, ballerina, singer and so many other more that it sometimes just come across my mind and vanish like ashes. I was still trying to figure out what fit in with myself. It was a tough job! I could still remember the number of times we had to talk about our dreams in front of the classroom or sometimes the teacher would make us do an essay about it. The problem that I faced while pouring out this context about my dream was that I did not have a fixed dream of mine. I always go on wondering what suits me best and by the time class ends, I may have either wrote an essay about what I did not actually dream of being or my book would still had remain blank. Nothing was my cup of tea at that moment. And making me write something that does not come from my heart makes me feel uneasy in a way that I am lying indirectly.

Where I am now, tells me that I am going to have to make a decision soon. High school now plays an important role in my life. Being 16 is about nourishing your interest because that will make your mind set to a point where you want to be someone in life. Moreover, the wide range of subjects that you are learning have been narrowed down letting you discover your inner self. As for me, I am now in the science stream. My major subjects are Physics, Biology, Add Maths, Chemistry and Maths. These are the subjects that I find important as a science stream student. Not only that, I actually do favor all these subjects that we are learning in school. It makes me wonder about the wide knowledge around us and how impressed I am with it. Right this moment, I do know what I love to learn. I love to learn the science subjects and add maths would be my favourite everyday. I do think of becoming a lecturer one day. But again, choosing is one hard thing for me to do. I always tell myself that when I finally finished learning and discovering myself in high school, I will have to decide on this very seriously. It doesn't matter how your dream is as long as you have the charisma, knowledge, interest and humble feeling of pursuing it. It will finally be something worth in your life. And that is when you can put your heart and soul into this thing that you call it as your dream.

Yours truly,

The Wonders Of Our Human Mind

HELLO (:

A simple hello for a start would make a difference to at least a million of people who are reading this. One may go on rolling their eyes thinking that they may have done the biggest mistake to waste their time on reading some crappy piece of writing by a 16 year old girl who just made her second blog to enhance her writing skills. Another may go on smiling, thinking it's a cute way to start a post. Others, may go on reading to let their mind slip away into the world of reading. Everyone has their own perception on something whether it is a positive or negative one. Do not blame yourself as the mind works that way. Our brain has two different ways of thinking. It is natural for us humans to think that way as we ourselves control our mind to make statements. Neither is right or wrong because you, yourself determines it.

Next, let your mind wander off for a while and believe me, it will go on a realm of stuff that you may not even know you were going to think about. For example, I was just stating a simple hello back there and look where it is going to now. I am talking about our mind. Mostly what we talk about from one topic to the other will be connected from the start to the end. You may think the ending is a bit off topic from the start but when you rewind it back again, it all comes together like a jigsaw puzzle. Even the littlest difference would make a change to your part of conversation.

I am amazed of how our mind works that way. Not only that, we will never ever stop thinking even when we are asleep. As I am writing this, my mind is thinking of what to write, how to type, where is the alphabets stated at, and to top it all off, it is working like a heart beating 24 hours a day nonstop. Don't you ever wonder about that? Now, try thinking about this, "Can our mind ever stop thinking". If you realize it, you are actually thinking! And I now sense a slight chuckle from the person who just read that.

Our human mind is a gift from God to think about all the possible ways to learn life in a slow and steady manner. We should use our mind to construct things, to make it stand in a higher level. There are so many other things that we could do with our minds that will bring benefits to the world. It is only the question of how you train your mind to think. Every human beings should never abused their mind to think of anything that will lead to ruins. That is why people often say do not think of the negatives because we may never know how we may act upon. It is always safer to bring the best out of us everyday and to just take it easy once in a while. Every thought matters wherever you are. It describes who you are at that particular moment.

Thank you for reading my own perception of our minds. It is wonderful to learn that people do actually care of what others think even through writing, if not through speaking. Sometimes we tend to say it all when we are writing but not when we are talking because each person is different in their own ways. They may have a hard time to gather the strength to release their thoughts in front of millions of people in a split second. It could change someone's perception so quickly that even the speaker would not even know what they had just said a minute ago. By writing, everyone could re-read whatever that had been written down by the author and everything could be digested slowly in a kind and calming way.

Yours truly,
