there is nothing you can't learn

as long as you put your heart into it. the only things that you can't do should be the things that you don't want to do. if you are willing to pick up the paintbrush, you can at least paint something. if you ever feel like you need the finest equipment to begin your learning with, think twice, we are living in a world in which knowledge is almost free now, which is already a blessing, and we are all equiped with the ability to self-learn, which is almost enough. (in other words, if you want to do something, don't give yourself the excuse saying that you have to wait until you are rich, because that no longer makes as much sense as it used to, but of course there are cases like that still.)

i have a little sister who inspires and amazes me just constantly.

i remember it always when one summer morning i woke up to some music from another room, and realised that it was indeed my little sister playing the guitar she had worked many hours in a resturant saving up for, and all of a sudden she had learnt to play it, just by watching youtube tutorials.

it amazes me how she has made cartoon videos by drawing a hundred and more pictures of all slight movements each character has by hand, and put them together by taking photos of each of them and editing the photos into a moving clip, giving them voices and sounds, and finally all her pictures have come alive in the form of an animation.

i think her will is almost as tough as walt disney, the amazing fact is that she doesn't even have much to begin with, it has all simply started out in her head.

having seen what she has done so far, i dare not to tell anyone that they can't do things, because she has shown me that whatever one can or cannot do really depends on how much efforts one is willing to make.

what i am trying to say is: always remember that it is important not to let someone tell you that you can't do things, when the things you want to do are good, and when they mean something to you, don't let yourself be discouraged. remember that you don't always have to be the best at whatever you do, it is not a competition if you don't make it so, and as long as you enjoy what you do, and do what you enjoy, you will miss out a lot less and live a life a lot more enriched, which is the most important. do not be embarassed and waste time on thinking how the world may laugh at you, if you find my words honest, trust me when i say that it makes you an adorable being having the will to try and being passionate for things that you believe in.

what a clumsy piece of writing i have written, but i hope it brings at least a bit encouragement to those who are looking for confidence. :)
