Tiana and Her Ambition



About Tiana
I can say Tiana is the most unique princess, not because she has the most different color of skin, but because she really has the most different character. The most unique thing about Tiana is, she's really a hard-working person. When she wants something, she will do everything, pay everything, even sacrifise everything to achieve her dream.

Maybe I can say she's stubborn. She won't listen to you when you give advice to her. But, from different perspective, I can say she has a super strong conviction. Well, at least that's a good point.

Tiana is a focused person. So far, she's the most focused Disney character I know. When she wants to go "somewhere", her way is totally focused, straightly from the point where she is to the point where she wants to be. You can try to change her way. But when she says she must go to "that place", she won't care anything unless it can bring her to "that place".

In the end of the story, somebody finally could change her mind. A frog, well, cursed prince I mean, named Naveen met Tiana and had a long journey with her. From that journey, Tiana learned lots of things, until she realized she just can't focus on that one thing only. She needed something else. It's not because that one thing was wrong, But she learned, when she focused on that one thing, it didn't mean she should ignore other thing.

In this case, Tiana focused too much on her dream to make a restaurant. It was really her dream. Her mom told her that she worked too hard, but she didn't care. She felt like she knew everything she wanted, and she would do anything to get that thing. I'm sure it was not easy to change Tiana. She was always strong with her conviction at the first time. But, because an unexpected thing happened and she had no choice, she finally had to change her plan for a while. In that time, she realized restaurant wasn't only one thing she should reach. She needed love.


What I learn from Tiana...
I learned from her. Sometimes we focus too much on one thing until we forget other things which maybe as important as that 'one thing', or maybe more important than that. In Tiana's story, she focused too much on her dream until she forgot about love. It may not always be your dream. It may be the opposite, you focus too much on your love, until you forget about thing you need to achieve in future? The point is, whatever it is that we focus on, keep being open-minded! Sometimes we can't see other thing that may be better than what we focus today, because we focus too much on it.

It's good to be focused and organized. But, when you're too focused on one thing, it's like you don't care about other things. The fact is, what you focus on isn't always the most important or the best thing. It's like you decide to be a close-minded person who doesn't want to know any other thing, because you feel like you know everything you want and everything you need.

Well, what you think it's good isn't always the best. What you think it's important isn't always the most important. What you think it's right isn't always right. Sometimes you need to be open-minded, to see that life offers many things you may not realize before. Like the song from this movie, maybe you just need to find "the best thing you never knew you needed". If you focus too much, you won't know it until the end.

Too much focus on one thing makes you can't see other things, which may be better than that 'one thing'.

Love Languages

Valentine's day is coming soon, and it's the day of love. I think it's a great idea to share something related to love: Love Languages . Have you heard about it before? It's not my idea. It's Gary Chapman's, but I'm excited to share it with you! I've shared it with people around me all this time, making sure they know about this amazing idea. And the exciting thing about love languages is, it's applicable not only for your life partner, but also for everyone around you, including your parents, friends, coullages, and every single one you know. I once wrote, " Life is always about love, but love is not about him or her all the time. " So don't worry, whatever your status is right now, it can be fun for you too! Let's explore about love! Okay. What's love languages? Basically there are five love languages, and one person has one dominant love language. The fun is in finding out the dominant love language in people you care ab

Change the Perspective

One of people who inspire me the most is Nick Vujicic . I believe many of you know about this man. If you don't, well, he's a man with no arms and no legs. Although he has this disability, he still lives his life to the fullest. He swims. He surfs. He married. He does whatever he wants. Even he inspires many people around the world with great stories about his amazing life. Isn't he really a huge inspiration? I'm sure you know what I'm gonna write here. Many things we can learn from him, like being thankful, enjoying life, creating your happiness, or living the life you want no matter what the circumstance is. But I want to talk about his great life from a little bit different thing. He inspired me in one thing when I read his book. If there's one thing I can learn from him, it's that you can't always change your problems, but you can always change the way you see it . You can't always change your problems, but you can always chang

Life's a climb, just don't get exhausted

If you don't know that Miley Cyrus' song, it's called The Climb . Well, they say life is all about the climb . I think this saying means that you just can't do nothing at where you're standing now if you want to go to a better place in your life. If you want to reach the peak, you must climb. If you don't climb, you'll just be at the same place forever. Everyone has different mountain. Everyone has different peak they want to reach. The same thing is, everyone starts from the bottom. So, everyone must climb. Some people climb for money. Some people climb for career. Some people climb for people they love. Some people climb for happiness. Whatever it is, they climb for something they want to reach that they still don't have now. It's funny how people compete each other to climb their best peaks. Some people want to reach there the fastest. Some people just want to reach the highest peak, no matter how long it takes. The climb is goo
