You may die today, you may die tomorrow. You may die when your young or you may die when you're old. If you spend your life worrying about the end constantly you'll never have time to use the time you are given. You don't want to be at the end of your life without a life behind you.

I get my best life advice from books. I think one of the best one I got was an autobiography (a real one, unlike Memoirs of a Geisha) from one of the best geisha in history, Mineko Iwasaki, about how hard work and classiness is the best way to prove people's negative comments about you wrong. It's only real way to win.

This wasn't advice given to me, more like my personal motto. ;)

In this world, it is easier to make someone miserable then to make them happy. Therefore, by choosing to spend my life making others suffer, I can accomplish more then the person who wants to make people happy.

I hope you can all take this to heart.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote a lot of little sage pieces of advice that I take to heart. There's really too many to count.

Here's a good one From God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater:


Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - God damn it, you've got to be kind.

My parents taught me since I was very young that to influence people and to do good in other people's lives was what would make your own life meaningful. They also taught me to dream big.

You can't accomplish great things in life if you don't have great big hopes and dreams to start out with.

I also subscribe to the whole "pay it forward" idea. I really do believe that if I am particularly nice to someone, they will in turn be nice to others. And if I take the time to help out somebody, they will remember that and take the time to help someone else. It's the reason why in road rage crazy LA, I let people come into my lane if they're struggling to get in, or I can see that they're trying to get to the exist, and it's why I share my business information with others who are starting out in the photography industry because others have helped ME in the past.

It all basically boils down to being nice, and realizing that you only have one life. And in the words of the fabulous Tim Gunn, you have to MAKE IT WORK.

From the book Legend by David Gemmell.

"Some of you might be afraid of dying but all men must die for none get out of this life alive."

Druss the axeman say's it on the walls of the fortress just before the worlds biggest army turns up to attack them. I think it's good advice because even if you worry about death all your life and never do anything dangerous or even smells like it could be dangerous then what kind of life is that? You're still going to die and it's when danger and death have been faced down and you survive that life becomes that much sweeter.

1. "Do, or do not. There is no try." Said by Yoda but my Band teacher is the one who taught it to me. He's the most influential teacher I've had because he's been my teacher for 8 years now, so anything he says like that, I take to heart.

2. "Sitting on your ass, whining about how the world refuses to conform to your wishes will get you nowhere. Instead, get up off your butt and show the world who you are." - Me

Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done. One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen.


A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.


No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Mmm..., the best advice people give me is usually the ones that I don't follow.
For instance an older friend of mine was telling me how he broke up with his girlfriend of many years just because he got bored and ended up regretting it so badly because it went bad for both of them, specially her.
Well, I had his same feelings and I was bored of being with my girlfriend of three years so I broke up with her thinking things would be alright. Regretted it a month later when she got with another guy and moved in with him and dropped her studies.
Needless to say, I've gotten over it now. Although it did suck that I had to go through so much BS. But hey, that's life.
