#8 An inspirational story

Life comprises of two things which makes our lives complete. These two things are like seasonings that add twist & make life more flavorful. These things always come in two.  Success will not exist if failure doesn’t exist. Who will ever know what success is if you don’t even know what failure is? As the saying goes, “Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes it’s built on catastrophe.” By Sumner Redstone. Life is not just all about successes; it has ups and downs. Life without failures is like living in a world without colors; it’s dull color bored people. 

In the video Nicholas James Vujicic inspired us through making himself as an example. He was born without limbs due to the rare Tetra-amelia disorder and because of this he lives his childhood life full of hardships & difficulties. He inspires us through his words full of wisdom. It’s true that along our way we stumble and fall but the one that counts is the number of times we tried to stand after we fall & never giving up. We should have the strength to face life’s challenges. To escape from problems people nowadays ends their life just a wink of an eye. There’s a saying that “Ends doesn’t justify the means.” Problems don’t solve themselves it’s the people who solves them with their solutions. All you have to do is to take actions and be responsible with your decisions. 

Nicholas is such an inspiration who motivates people we should set him as a role model. Like him, I’ve been into many ups and downs of life. I shed a tear every time I fall but crying will never help me to solve it, its just there to lessen the pain I feel. I should stand and face life with valor and not to fear of failing again. I put my experiences as an example to cheer my friends up. With the aim to make them realize that failures are always there to strengthen you and not to disappoint you about life. 

Life is beautiful. Just go with the flow.

If You Fail, Try Again! 

 Remember:

The only real failure in life is the failure to try.

#6 Summer Kiss (Descrptive Writing)

As I looked up into the Bleu de France sky I saw the sun smiling down to us.  I feel the kiss of the sun’s scorching heat, heard the arid wind whispering in my ears, smell the fresh, salty, ocean breeze and tasted the summer kiss.  Riding in a multi-cab I saw the deep, vast blue ocean with white streaks of waves colliding with each other. As we enter the gates going to Salagdoong beach I saw different variations of towering tree. The downward, zigzag road to Salagdoong Beach makes the trip more exciting; the shades of trees lessen the torridity. Salagdoong beach is located in a cove where you could see high cliffs. I already smell the refreshing ocean breeze. White sand & clashing colors of cyan & Egyptian Blue Ocean tantalizes my eyes & its visitors. Totally amuse with the ocean’s lucidity.  As we arrived in the beach we unpacked the things up and go swimming. Since I want to go to the rock where the slide is I asked my father and my cousin (JM) to accompany me going there. We don’t use any swimming gears; we only use empty plastic bottles of Coke. Swimming against the wave currents makes our legs tired, I almost quit but my father told me to keep going on while my cousin is enjoying swimming. We’re on our way to the rock when I tried to get a glimpse of what underneath the ocean. Since it was too deep & dark to look at I decided to focus on the rock where we’re heading at; I admitted I got scared of looking underneath the ocean, scared to see something which will scares me & lead me to panicking. Such a big relief when we got to the rock, the three of us felt tired so we decided to stay for a while before going back. 

We gave ourselves a 5mins. break but my cousin & father was so adventurous that they were climbing and jumping from the cliff doing the cliff dives. I wanted to give a try but the problem is I don’t know how to swim because I have fear that someone will pull me down. Being there was a mission accomplished for me. Finally I already got there; my next plan is to go swimming around, passing the sharp edges of the cliffs & against the big waves of the ocean.
