Bob Ong, Again!!!!

You like the quotes I posted a year or so ago? Yes those from Bob Ong? Here's more! Translated though. If you want to see the first installment, click this: http://coralbead.blogspot.com/2009/04/in-mood-for-something-thought-provoking.html


1. "They say, that for every problem, only one person can help you--your own self. They're right. Maybe that's why God gave us each a conscience, because He knows that there are times when our brains won't work."

2. "What's a camera phone for? If owning one was a question of life and death I could've been dead by now!"

3. "In college you'll see so many influences, good or bad. Don't blame your thesis partner or your friend because you collapsed your lungs through smoking, your liver broke down through excessive drinking, or you had your own family at the wrong time. If you're really smart, then you can still choose to walk on the straight path,no matter how bad the people you are with."

4. "Sometimes you need to deliberately forget, so you will be remembered."

5. "Nothing good will happen in your life if you don't stop regretting and complaining about your fate."

6. "There are so many people here on Earth who are much more lonely than those who live on the Moon. And then, you don't actually need a lot of people to make up your world. Sometimes, your world can be made up of just one person, and that person will be all the world you'll ever need for the rest of your life."

7. "People are sad because they force themselves to be happy."

8. "It's easy to think about what money is for, but what I don't understand is why it's a measure of whether somebody's successful or not."

9. "Put two ears together, they form the shape of a heart. The ears are an extension of the heart, so if you know how to listen, you know how to love."

10."A woman is to be respected, and cared for! She's not a PSP that you can just fish out from your pocket when you want to play with it. She's not an iPod that you'll just listen to when you want to pass the time. And she's not a bottle of Red Horse (beer) that you can drown yourself in. A woman,whatever form she comes in, is not somebody you just collect or play with."

11."If people are fighting each other to see who can have you,maybe you are beautiful or handsome. Choose to go with the good person, not the nice one. Choose the one who knows about life, not the academically smart one. And choose the one who loves you, not the one who just wants you."

12. "Why do you keep on having feelings for someone who doesn't feel the same way for you? Don't make yourself a fool for someone who does not see your worth. Learn to give up and leave, when you realize that you end up being hurt."

13. "The hardest part of leaving somebody who cannot find the heart to love you is the fact that the person won't go after you."
