Bigger Is Not Always Better

A lot of people believe that the more you have, the easier your life is and the happier you are. Believing it will lead them to the better life, many people want to get more and more. But if you really think about it, bigger is not always better. Sometimes it's the opposite. Sometimes, when you try too hard to get more, simple things change to be complicated. Sometimes, when you focus too much on getting better, you can't be thankful and enjoy what you already have. If that's the case, then what's the point in having more and getting bigger?

One of the things I learn from life is, the quality of your life really can't be measured by the quantity of what you have. If that was true, rich people with a lot of money would be the happiest. But look around you. I still meet a lot of "poor" people because they have nothing but money. Surprisingly, I also meet people who don't really have much, but they look happy and really enjoy their days. They are the people who know to be grateful for the simple things in life. They are the smart people who know that happiness doesn't cost much. They know that happiness is about what we feel and not what we have.

So, every time you feel like complaining for not having more, remember that you can be happy when you are grateful, and your life can be easy when you have the right attitude. It really has nothing to do with how much you have.

Remy and His Passion

This is the second post of Disney Lessons on my blog, and this time I'm gonna talk about that little mouse from Ratatouille . Yup, Remy ! For you who don't watch this movie, Ratatouille is a Disney movie about a little mouse, Remy, who's expert in cooking, and he secretly helps a chef named Linguini who can't cook at all. For some people who watch it, maybe this movie is funny because it's about a mouse that helps a chef to cook just by hiding in the chef's hat and controlling what he does with his hair. But this movie becomes very inspirational when you see it from this mouse's perspective. His name is Remy. His passion is in cooking. The most inspiring thing about Remy is, nobody supports him to cook. Everybody disagrees with him, even his father really hates him for doing that. But, it's about passion. His heart is in cooking. But then, back to the fact again: he's a mouse! How to be a chef when you're a mouse? By the way, I like how ...

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...
