What makes some people successful and others not?
Why are there people who are happy to go to work in the morning and others who don’t even want to get up?
Why some people are so passionate about their lives and others go through their entire life not feeling that even one bit?
Is it just being in that one place at the right time…makes all the difference?
Is it ALL luck? Attitude? Mindset?
How much control do we really have on what type of life we will have in twenty years?

Have no idea. But going to try as hard as I can to get close to how I want to be in twenty years?
Is that all it takes? Hard work. Is that enough?....................

Volunteer



I started volunteering at the local library so I could fulfill my requirements for the page scholarship. I started helping this overly active 7 year old who kept wanting to kiss me and play with my hair…was he there for tutoring or what? He was so cute though! He wants to be a firefighter and a ninja when he grows up. For most of my time I was helping this older Nigerian man with his sixty page research paper on an African tribe Olgba. All his information was good but he didn’t know basics of the Microsoft Word program! He could type but didn’t know there was spell-check, page break, that he only needed one space in-between words.

I really admired his patience, passion and… just hard work!

What’s up with men and heels? Not men wearing heels...but looking at women wearing heels? What do they see that they don't see otherwise?



Why is it that most of the times people see something in us (something powerful) that we don't see in ourselves...or even want to see.

school school school = life
School has been the only thing on my mind. Every time I just sit to do something else I am thinking about the deadlines I have to meet for the upcoming week. I am actually enjoying this commitment.

sort of looked over the book "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out"...the librarian was more excited that I was checking it out than I was. I read few chapters so far is really good. The book is by Feynman, Richard Phillips -- Physicist who won 1965 Nobel Prize for his work on quantum electrodynamics.

The other book I had on my shelf for a long time that I just can't get through is "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey..if anyone want to take the responsibility to read it and tell me about it that would be appreciated :-) Maybe is a good book on a plane because I saw a passenger a year ago reading it nonstop for like 12 hours.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN PROF. BARANY's ORGANIC CHEMISTRY CLASSES...WITH REALLY TRYING

WOW. Bit scared but also really excited to see how I'll do! So far Organic Chem. is going fine. The chapter problems.. once you get started on them become an addiction. Yesterday I was doing the problems at work three hours straight..without even being aware of anything else.

Never miss an opportunity...if you can do it.
because you'll never know what missing that one moment took away from your life.

I am in my class today and like every other day few Cell Phones go off in the middle of lecture. There was this one cell that went off that sounded like a fight! So everyone in the class thought there was a fight in the room.
?!?!!?

Today I learned that I need to learn more about cars..atleast know something/anything about cars. I been having many problems with my car ever since I came back from Toronto. I couldn't start it for four days. My brother and cousin figured out that is the battery...so $40 to get a new battery..but still my car would shut off by itself!! So i had to bring my car to the mechanic this morning...and I didn't know how to explain anything..that I actually ended up saying "I think there is a ghost in my car..and is doing weird things to it". The guy just started to laugh!

hate being clueless.

Well is actually a fuse that he replaced ..another $40. grrr..

My Word program is not working...so no spellcheck today.
