Be Smart.
NOW IS THE SEASON FOR LEARNING
I made this bookmark at the recent stake ysa activity. really happy with how it came out!
Brought it home and cut a length of pretty, thin, dark blue ribbon (love them) and tied a little red wooden bead that i got a while back and... wah la, you get a lovely bookmark. (i'm gonna use this in my institute manual!)
p.s.
i miss artsy crafty YW activities.
flower: yeemun, thanks babe.
BE SMART. dont be foolish.
"Be smart about training yourself for the future. Be wise about preparing for what lies ahead."
- Way To Be! (Pres Hinckley)
Preparing for what lies ahead. What lies ahead? I know what lies ahead.
It's been marked out since I was about 9 or 10 years old but I know it's definitely the path I want to go down. Anything else would mean i'm short changing myself. Don't really want to do that, now would we (:
The other day Bea and I were singing the song "Fifteen" by Taylor Swift. We got to the chorus where it goes something like "cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them" and then DJ says "naïve."
We laughed about it but then I started to think a little further.. yeah. she's quite right. I loooove the new woodlands ward. we're so awesome like that!
Because, good friends make it easy to live the gospel.
don't you forget that.
tc ya'll (:
It Is What I Say It Is.. And Please, Don't Argue With Me (:
With the permission of my good friend Sherman Tai, a.k.a. Magic Hall (you know i'm just kidding!), this post has come to pass. Thanks man.
I was thinking about something on the line of self confidence the other day, after reading a line off photographer Natalie Norton's blog:
"Always ask yourself this question: “am I proud of this shot?” if the answer is “yes” then it doesn’t matter what anyone else says."
I like to get people's opinion and photographers' critiques of my pictures. It helps me keep an eye out for things i tend to over look, like details and leading lines. I like to ask around, "Hey what do you think about this XXX picture?".. or something like that.
It helps to a certain extent because I get another point of view. But here's my problem. There are some times when i receive a comment (which are kinda subjective like on composition) that i don't really agree with.. Though i receive it graciously, I have a tendancy to scrutinize the picture after that and get flustered over it.
Glad to say, I've learnt my lesson from Natalie Norton.
If I'm happy with the picture, I'll love it.. and i'll still love it no matter what anyone says. I'll still take in feedback- no doubt- but I have learnt to stop second guessing the quality of my pictures.
And by the way, if you have the local issue of the Liahona, my pictures for the articles on the musical can be found there. Keep an eye out for that! Then you can nudge the person beside you and say," Haha! I know the photographer." Juuust for the fun of it!! (:
(i took a self portrait the other day just because i felt like it)
