Motivational Speak

REMEMBER




"You are the one who sets your own boundaries."




"No one else can be the protagonist of your own story except yourself."




"Don't dwell on it too much if you fail by normal standards. Why? Is the normal standard the ONLY standard?"




"Failure is a motivation. Success is gratification."




"Children often follow someone as an example. Wouldn't it be great if it was you?"




"Think greatly, act humbly."




"If pessimism can affect your actions, there's no reason optimism can't do the same."




"The only thing you have to be pessimistic about is pessimism itself."



"When it comes to proving yourself, always go beyond what is expected. That is when you have truly proven yourself to them and to you."



"Be the person that would want the people to tell inspiring stories to their children about you."



"Never underestimate being different. When everybody else sees nothing, you may be the only one who can see everything."




"The regret of not taking the chance over-weighs the fear of taking it."



"YOLO: You Only Live Once. Then make sure the flashback of your life is something worth seeing not just by you, but also by everyone."

Quick posts: Top 10 EPIC songs

A quick post. Music-related again.

If I have to pick a genre to listen to, I'd go with rock/metal most of the time. And what really gets me into a song for the first time listening to it is the mood and the theme of the song. Normally, if you said to me to check some song out because I'll probably like it, it doesn't just happen like that. I don't always get hooked to the song instantly after listening to it. For me, it takes about a month or so (seriously) to sink in. Some songs are just plain awesome the first time hearing it. It really depends on the mood of the person at the time and the mood and theme of the song. Probably because of all the Dir En Grey I listen to, I've learned to appreciate the beauty of dark, weird and/or sorrowful themes. Not to mention, their um...attention-grabbing music videos. It's like you learn these things through music, you know? 

Although I play guitar, I'm somewhat of a lyrics enthusiast. Whether it's in English or not, I look into the lyrics. It's good to listen to songs that express things from a certain standpoint. It's like a look inside the protagonist's mind.

With that said, this is gonna be a top 10 list of songs. EPIC songs, mind you. Comes with the explanation of why they are epic. I've also limited the list to one song per band.
