“Practice is the key to everything: you have to be willing to keep experimenting, to keep trying, to open yourself up to the unknown. You have to be willing to suck—at kissing, at dancing, at making friends, at finding your own style, at writing, at singing, at speaking in front of crowds, at sports, at everything—in order to get better. You’re in a state of constant flux—mentally, physically, and emotionally—and you have to be prepared to shed skin and start over. Fear is a jerk and a bully and it will do whatever it can to stop you. So you need to stomp it out and continue down the path you’ve been carving out since the day you were born.”

“Because accomplishment is hard. And accomplishment, on some basic level, is pretty selfish. To really devote yourself to achieving something—anything: becoming a writer, becoming a lawyer, becoming the world’s best mini-golf player—you have to have a vision of what you want, and you have to want it fiercely, and you have to be able to throw your whole weight behind getting it. But girls aren’t supposed to care that much about what they want for themselves. Like my awful, awful health teacher used to say: we’re supposed to put our own ambitions aside, and focus on other people. And those other people don’t even have to be babies! Consider the difference between a guy who stays in every weekend to practice guitar, and a girl who does the same thing. The guy is a brooding, intense, passionate musician. The girl is just unpopular.”

Kurt Vonnegut’s 8 Tips on How to Write a Great Story

1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.

2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.

3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.

4. Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.

5. Start as close to the end as possible.

6. Be a Sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them—in order that the reader may see what they are made of.

7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.

8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.

Just watch this.

You can thank me later.

It's not that God doesn't answer prayers, it's just sometimes we ignore the answer.

It’s sad, really, when people care more about receiving gifts than remembering they already received the best gift of all.

Please help us find our cousin Rhian J. Garcia. She has been missing since the devastating flood caused by Sendong hit their home in Balulang Cagayan De Oro.
She got separated from her Mom and Dad while they were trying to evacuate. Sadly, our Aunt Mimi did not make it. But our Uncle Reynold luckily survived and is now restless trying to find Rhian.
Just last year, our Aunt and Uncle lost their elder son, Andrei, to Dengue. Rhian was just a few months old then. Our Aunt and Uncle survived the loss of their elder son with the help of their adorable and cheerful young Rhian.
Now with Aunt Mimi gone, we are asking for your kind assistance to help our Uncle locate their little angel. With God’s mercy, we are praying that someone has her or knows where to find her.
If it is not too much to ask, we are kindly asking you to repost this note on the hope that someone might recognize her. If you have friends or family helping out in the evacuation centers, kindly share this post with them.
If you know Rhian’s whereabouts, kindly contact my Uncle at 09068830049. Their relatives have temporarily relocated at the Sabal Residence in Villa Ernesto Phase 2 Gusa Cagayan de Oro.

Thank you!

I found this in Facebook. Please share/reblog to help the Father. I feel for him.

Its the least I could do.

If you can reblog useless stuff, then why can’t you reblog something useful and help other people?
