There’s an awful lot you can tell about a person by their shoes.

Nowadays, people tend to get along with the trend. Sometimes it can be a basis of friendship where if you have a branded thing then you belong to a certain group. In this generation, some can achieve their sense of self by buying or consuming a lot of money for something they want.

I barely buy something new for myself. If it is not needed nor necessary, I will not spend anything on that. For the first time, I bought rubber shoes where the money I spent on it was from my pocket. I don’t think that it is the most expensive thing I have bought so far but for me, it was a reward for saving money from unuseful stuff.

The only reason why I bought it is that I need it. Aside from it is comfy,  you can wear it all the time. You can buy a cheaper brand for clothes and other girly thing but for the shoes, I prefer the branded one. It is not a good thing if you are on an occasion or somewhere then unluckily your shoes don’t go on the plan.

QUALITY.

I can relate this in the quotation from the movie “Forrest Gump”, where he said there’s an awful lot you can tell a person by their shoes. For me, when you look at the shoes of a person, you may be able to guess where he has been or where he will go. Those kinds of shoes will give you an idea: rubber shoes for sports, black shoes for school or even ordinary shoes for a casual event. Your shoes are with you on every journey you will take. Shoes will remind you what kind of journey or adventure you have been.

“ I can do all things when I set my mind to it.” I always say it to myself and that gives me a fighting spirit! I want everything to have a thrill, who want to have a boring life anyway? I am not a person who is neither easy-going nor someone who works too much. I truly believe that if I work too much, this certain thing that I am doing will eat me up whole. It is a bad thing though, I don’t want to be pressured nor stressed. I am someone who is good to people who are good to me but worse than someone who does not treat me right. *insert evil laugh* 😈

Life to me is very precious. I will put it simply, no life, no Me. Our very existence is a gift itself. I am here for a reason. I am where I am right now not because I was forced to, I am where I am because I wanted to. I am here to help, not only my family but generally the people who helped me to get where I am today.

Being happy is one of the keys in having a successful life. But getting there is another thing. In order to achieve our happiness, we have to go through many challenges life has to offer.

If we learn to ignore all the negativity around us and turn it into a positive one, we will be able to be happy the way we wanted ourselves to be.

I am a very positive person. I may not often show it or I do not look like I am one, but I really am. With just the idea of being positive can lessen our negative thoughts. Less “what if’s”, “maybe’s”. We should help ourselves to be positive because not all the time there will be someone to be with us. I am aware that not all times will be happy times. But turning all those negative thoughts into a positive one can help massively. Being positive can help not only me, but who knows? Maybe the people around me as well.
