TAKE NOTE:
THE JOURNEY IS WHERE ALL THE DRAMA IS.
IT IS WHERE GROWTH HAPPENS.
WITH DETERMINATION, BARRIERS ARE BROKEN.
IN YOUR QUEST TO BE SUCCESSFUL,
NEVER SACRIFICE THREE THINGS:
YOUR FAMILY, YOUR HEART, OR YOUR DIGNITY.
~ ALAN IAN ATKINSON

NO MATTER WHERE LIFE TAKES YOU,
ALWAYS STAY HUMBLE AND KIND.
BE GRATEFUL ALWAYS.
TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT.
KINDNESS COSTS NOTHING.
THE WORLD RESPECTS THOSE WHO
STAY FIRMLY GROUNDED, REGARDLESS OF
HOW HIGH THEY RISE IN SOCIAL STATUS.
THEY NEVER FORGET WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

YOU WORK AND WORK AND WORK AT YOUR GOALS.
YOU HAVE THE VISION THAT IT WILL WORK.
HOWEVER, THE NEEDLE TOWARDS PROGRESS IS HARDLY BUDGING IN YOUR FAVOUR. BELIEVE THAT IT WILL WORK. YOUR BELIEF IS YOUR STRENGTH.
STRENGTH IS THE PRODUCT OF STRUGGLE.
YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE WHAT OTHERS WON’T,
YOU MUST DO WHAT OTHERS DON’T.
REMEMBER, THE EXCITEMENT WHICH YOU WILL GET
IS FROM THE JOURNEY,
WHICH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE DESTINATION.

I MADE UP MY MIND NOT TO CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE DESTINATION. I JUST WANT TO SIMPLY ENJOY THE JOURNEY.
THERE IS PEACE IN KNOWING THAT YOU WILL NEVER MISS OUT ON WHAT’S TRULY MEANT FOR YOU.
IT’S UP TO YOU.

EARTH: Population: 8 billion.
Every single person on planet earth that is here, present; has a story of their own to tell; whether it is in their mother tongue language, English or a different language; whether it is in the form of pictures, dance or any means of communication; with the hope that what is communicated to the audience; will be received by the audience in exactly the way that it was communicated, without losing the essence of the message. What is most important is that each story is different.
This is something that A.I. or Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT can never do as these can only generate information that was pre-installed with data. Whatever information that is churned out from these two software is sort of a “done this, been there” information. Admittedly, “can never do” could be a bit far fetched.
Don’t surrender decision making to computers all in the name of making life easier for us. The truth is: it doesn’t.
While on your own path, wherever that leads.
Run your own race, wherever that goes.
Quit comparing your life with another.
We are all on a journey, but our paths are different.
Our stories are unique.

YOU HAVE TO ENJOY THE RIDE OF LIFE’S JOURNEY. DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES.
EVERY SUCCESS THAT YOU ACHIEVE IS BUILT ON THE ABILITY TO DO BETTER THAN GOOD ENOUGH.
YOU MAY JUST FIND THE AMAZING YOU.

Keep moving forward. If you are unsure of the journey, find your passion. Use your passion as a compass.
The feeling of accomplishment will be even more distinct when you remember the journey getting to your destination. You will have a story to tell.
