MY SHORT LINERS

We are but actors in an untitled play, acting out parts of a plot unbeknownst to us, under the tutelage of an unseen director. (Click HERE to read full text)

A heart that is incapable of loving is like a living body with a dead soul; like a gardener who hates flowers, like a singer who cannot sing any song. It’s like a plant deprived of water, like earth divorcing its sun.

Pride is a two-faced coin: one beautiful; and the other, repulsive. Like the pillar that keeps an edifice erect, pride is that which makes an individual stand tall. When twisted, however, pride becomes an ugly face that reeks of arrogance and conceit. (Click HERE to see full text)

When a leaf has fallen off a branch, there's no way we could put it back on for it to continue living. But we can sweep it off the ground. (Click HERE to see full text)

MORE ABOUT ME

Strong-willed and self-reliant are the words that are always affixed to my name. Shrewd is my nickname, stubborn is my middle name, and straightforward is my pseudonym. Sugar-coated speech isn’t my specialty, and flattery is nowhere in my vocabulary. The weak hate me, and the ridiculous detest me.

I have a penchant for winning, an insatiable thirst for learning, and an unexplainable affinity towards the unexplained.

I am often drawn to unexplored territories and untested waters. Defying the odds is my favorite sports, challenging authority is my favorite pastime, and taking risks and jumping off different cliffs are among my hobbies.

I have a steady love affair with logic and a regular rendezvous with creativity. For the former, I am a word slayer; but for the latter, I am she who puts form and persona to the abstract, and mystic to the tangible.

In some ways I am both yin and yang. I can be calm as the sunset, and fiery as the noontime sun. I can be both reckless and careful, passionate and disinterested, simple and complicated.

Excellence and elegance are my trademarks. I work not just with my hand, but also with my heart and mind. Over big and minuscule details I slave, until the two qualities I so admire — unique and outstanding — are embodied in my creation.

My family and the love that I have are my greatest treasures; whereas my biggest assets are the contents of my heart — the love that flows out of it, the warmth that emanates from it, and the peace that resides in it.

My greatest aspiration is to live a life that’s full and with very few regrets. Meaningless schemes and pathetic pursuits have no place in my daily itinerary. What's in it are making this journey I have started as meaningful as it can be, never stepping onto other people’s toes, and encouraging others to pursue their dreams.

I believe that there is a Great Being that guides us through every step of the way, although the decision about whether we take a step or not, and which direction to take is left to us. I hope — and believe — that the direction I have chosen to trudge will lead me to that place where I can look back to my life, and say, “well done!”
