Just some stuff that I would like to share, not only that, I will share some of my stories as well

Effort

Wherever you go, whatever you do, whoever you encounter, you need to make an effort in everything, if you want to get to know your friend more, you have to make an effort to start the conversation, thought about the topics to get you and your friend to get talking, or you have an exam coming up, so to get the grades that you wanted, you have to make an effort to study, no matter how interested or not in studying, you have that mindset of getting that grade and you'll do what kind of method to get that grade you had there. (Not cheating) 

I have a story to share, I think it's less than a year ago, but it's going to be one year now as I forgot when I met that person. So, last year, we start texting to each other, every single day, we would say good morning to each other, and night when one of us going to sleep, long story short, I didn't know much about making an effort in producing topics so that both of us could chat without any awkward pauses, so she kept talking and making an effort, not just me, but to her friend as well. She once said to me, irritatingly, maybe a bit mad, which makes me realized something,

"You know how much effort I put when talking to you only to receive 'we have nothing to talk about'"
That's when I know, I was wrong. 

"What's the point of making an effort when the other party is not making it." This is what I thought every time when I remembered her words. Yes, I'm the one that's not making the effort, that's what I get in return. But, right now, I want to did something for her, to tell her that I'm sorry. Instead of telling her a million of times sorry, I would show it to her, no matter what, that's why effort is important in my life right now.
So to those people, that care and making an effort but the other party wasn't, stop whatever you're doing, one day they will realize their mistake, (like me), and to those whose not making an effort but the other party is, talk to them, get to know them more, every people had their story to tell and you can learn things from them, but don't leave them when you had something from them and leave, keep them in contact and gives them love, that's what makes the world keep going.

Hard Work

Recently, I finished watching a Japanese Drama, "Hope kitai zero no shinnyu shain", it's about a high school graduate, got into a job and everybody is looking down on him and want to use him just because he is a high school graduate, but he prove them wrong, he work hard and harder and harder, and his dedication and hard work paid off, people start liking him and changed their attitude because of him.

What I learnt from this drama, is that, no matter how people look at you, no matter what grades you got, working hard and making an effort, improving myself or yourself everyday, that's the most important thing to do. Because with hard work, dedication, people can slowly see your result, even if is slow, but when you finally reached your goal, you look back, you will said to yourself "It was worth it".

One thing that I really like watching meaningful drama and people's background story is that even there's this bad circumstances, they managed to get back up on track and return back with their own lives, that's a very good inspirational stories, it made me want to work hard with my life as well, so when I'm not in the mood, I have to tell myself, just put in just a bit more effort everyday, improving.

Even if I want to finished my studies, such as finished chapter 1, which is quite long, I know right now I definitely couldn't finish but, I will start small and slowly read and understand. 
"It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality." This phrase has been with me for quite some years now, it's really true, but there're many people just don't see it, like me in the past.

In conclusion, work hard and making an effort, both are something that will be with me for sometime, I will cherished this and put it into my heart and brain, because... I want to get to my dream, no matter what it takes, and I hope yours as well. Thank you for reading this. 

:D
