    Based on this article, Lea Bullen said that people have their own way to think and it is always related to their personality. If they have a wicked attitude, it is shown that they are one of the negative thinker. The positive thinker will held in high esteem by the society. They show their good personality as others first perception to them. As we knew, others first perception to us is always crucial. Positive thinker will always face their problems patiently so that their mind will think wisely and result in finding a better solution.
    How to develop positive thinking in negative thinker? It is not impossible as long as we believe in ourselves and always try to make a change for our own good. We have to train our thinking and leave the negative one. There are some advantages for being a positive thinker.

500 Days Of Summer (movie review)

 Synopsis:

    This movie is about love. Everyone has his/her own meaning about it. Some believes it while some doesn't. It's shown in this movie when Tom, who believes it and Summer who doesn't. This story begins with Tom's life. He works as a card writer in Greeting Card Company. He falls in love with Summer Finn, the new his boss assistant. The story about them begins when Tom attends to karaoke bar as his friend invited him. When Tom arrived, Summer was singing a song on the stage. Then, they three sat together and talk about love. Summer said that she doesn't believe in love and that's why she doesn't have a serious relationship with the guy. Tom denied it and said that he believes in it. On the way home, his friend told to Summer that Tom likes her. Then she asked Tom and Tom said that he likes she as a "friend". Starting from that night, they become closer and "over" intimate. They spend most of their time and having "fun" together. One day, when they are in a bar, a guy tried to approach summer. She’s uninterested with the guy. The guy won't believe she's with tom. Tom then punched the guy and they get into a fight. At her apartment, she mad at Tom and they mad at each other. Tom then said that everything that they have done together is not what "friend" should do. Then he left summer. Summer then came to Tom's apartment and asked for apologizes. They came together again. It does not end here. Summer suddenly asked to not see each other anymore. Tom then entered a deep depression until affected his works. On the way to his friend's wedding, in the train, suddenly he saw summer. They then close together again until the day that tom's realizes that she is engaged. Tom was in a deep depression again. But after his sister, Rachel advices him, he realized all his wrong expectation about love. Tom and Summer then meet at their favourite place and Summer said that she and his husband are meant to be together. She then walk away and leave Tom. Tom accepts it. When Tom was on his way to attend to a job interview, a girl asked him if they have met before. Tom said no and suddenly the interviewer called his name. Tom then turns back and asked the girl to get some coffee. She agreed and introduced herself. Her name is Autumn. This is how the story ends.

Character that I like the most:

     In this movie, I like the most Rachel character. Even she just a little girl, but actually she can think out of the box. Even a tiny girl can makes a huge differences. She can think over his brother, Tom can. It is shown in this movie that whenever Tom gets in a problem, she is the who will advice, motivate and makes Tom think wisely about his relationship with Summer. That's why I love her character. 

Moral values:

     From this movie, I realized that people have their own belief in something. No one is the same. Others can't read what is in our mind. It is shown in Tom's and Summer's character when they have their own belief in love. Besides that, our expectation is not always become a reality. So, we don't have to put all of our hope to someone. In this movie, Tom put all of his hope to summer and that's why he is really depress when he realized that his dream is not really become true when Summer finally become someone's wife. 

My opinion:

     I think this movie is a good one and should be expose at the younger age with the parental guide because this movie is not totally about the romance but also it teach us how to have a further thinking. With the guidance, the younger one will not narrowed their mind and think for their own good in surviving this complex world.

The Power Of Time

     Time is a crucial thing in our life. Every seconds is counted. Many said that time is gold and money. Actually i don't really agree with it because for me, we can make money, we can make gold, but can't make time. Once we spend it, forever it's gone. But I agree with a quote that said about time. "Time is like a sword, if we don't 'cut' it, then it will 'cut' us". It means that when time is passed, then we won't get it back. We have to spend it for something worthy but most of us just grappling with it.
     One day we have 86400 seconds. It sound much right? But if we convert it into minute and hour, we just have only 1440 minutes and 24 hours. Time will always pass out of our awareness especially in nowadays, we are in hustle and bustle world. In the other hand, we will feel like time is slowly pass when our day is full of sadness and boredom.
     We all commonly heard "yesterday is memory, today is reality, and tomorrow is mystery". The only thing that we can change is today. We can't change our past and we can't predict what is in the future. We always waste our time reliving our past. We regret all the thing that we have done in our past. I always said "hopefully I can repeat all that moment, so I won't do any mistake".I wish I  can go back to that moment. But now I realize that the mistakes that I have done in the past that will make me become mature and avoid me from doing the same mistakes. I will learn from my mistakes and try to make it right.
     Have we realize that actually  yesterday that make us today? Tomorrow will always be today and yesterday. But yesterday will never be today and tomorrow. That's why we have to appreciate everyday in our life. We can't let our past time overwhelming our today life but we can make it as a lesson to get a better today and tomorrow. We just have to let the past stay in the past. Besides that, we can make tomorrow as dream but don't too much wrapped it up because tomorrow is still a mystery. Some peoples are too obsess in achieving their dreams in tomorrow until they ignore their today's life. I can't deny that we absolutely have to achieve our dreams but don't let today pass with nothing. Let the past, appreciate today and live tomorrow. We just have to toe the line.
     As we can't  go back to the past, we have to use our time wisely. How to do that? I asked myself. It sound cliche if suggest to make a timetable and to do list. I know  it will be useful for student to have it because it can help to manage their time. Make sure the timetable is flexible and effective. We don't have to copy it from others because we have to identify our highest priority and where our focus needs to be. We will work best when our mind is focused. So we will know exactly what is the first and foremost. We can also make a review to all of our activities and try to correct it.
     To do all of these things, we must have discipline. If we don't have it, then anything that we have done is totally useless and give any benefit. Perfectly time management will increase our works productivity. We will have time to do anything that we wish to do. Honestly, I don't have any daily timetable or schedule in my entire life because I can't do the same thing at the fixed time. I realize that I just did anything based on my emotion. I know it is shilly_shally so that I train  myself and try to make a change. But I have to give the change a chance right? So now we all know the nitty_gritty and the power of time.

Great Friendship - Tips On How To Make It Last

http://ezinearticles.com/?Great-Friendship:-Tips-On-How-To-Make-It-Last&id=6414359

I agreed with all the tips and I think it just a simple and practically ways to make our friendship last forever. All of us can easily create a new friendship but hardly to make it last because it happens out of our awareness. So, all the tips can be our guidance to make it last longer or hopefully forever.
     By creating a group name, all of the group members will represent the group name and be proud of it. As we used to hear,"All for one and one for all". Even if we are distances apart and no longer stick together, the group name will always stay in our heart and that will make us become 'one' again. It's something special because everyone will recognize us just by our group name.
     Hanging out with our friends also can make the bond become tighter. Our favorite places will left a great moments and make us smile when we think about it. Apart from that, try to keep in touch, so that we won't lost contact with each other. This can be done if don't have much free time. Even just a simple text can still make us feel appreciated. But if we have free time, plan with our friend the new activities that can be done during our breaks such as vacation, camping, or anything else. Make sure that the activities won't take a long period and all of the group members must agreed with it. Even just a short time, at least we have spend our time and let our hair down together. So, we have to grab the golden moments with them.
     The most crucial ones is the last tips; being true. Actually we have to be true at all time whether with our friends, family, or ourselves especially. We can't live in lie forever. By being true, we can make a different between our true friend and the foe or in other words, the fake ones. Even that the true one is always hurt, but actually, that is the truth and we have to accept it.
     In addition, I also have my own tips. If we want to keep our friendship last forever, we have to be a good listener. Not only a good, but actually the best. We have to lend our ears for them and if they try to get something off their chest, and we can't solve it, we just have to listen it because it can make them feel relieved. We also can give our feedback, but if we are really sure about it because sometimes our opinion can make them feel confused. So better just be their best listener.
     Once again, I totally agree with K Lledo. Actually these tips are some of the way to make our friendship last forever and there are many ways apart from it. So, we have to start our first step by the simple one. In order to keep our bond become stronger and stronger, everyone have to play their own role because 'friendship' is not about one person only. It's more than that.
